  • This time of year it's HUGELY important to fight the winter blahs before they fully settle in. I'm finding I can best combat the beast by getting some sunshine (I swear I can feel my shoulders physically lift when the sun hits my face) and exercise, exercise, exercise. Keep active. Focus on the mood lift that arrives at…
  • My nutritionist said that if I had an extremely physical day, then maybe I could eat extra that day. Then she burst my bubble: if I worked out an hour longer than usual, then 100 more calories would be reasonable. Well. Blah! Also, MFP is extremely generous in its calorie burned calculation.

This way I have a better idea of how my eating falls, even though it's obviously not quite perfect.

I've used (and liked quite a bit) Muscle Milk powders, but switched away after surgery because it doesn't have as much protein as I wanted. I have a big supply of…
  • I sometimes add unflavored protein powder to foods. It works well in greek yogurt and dishes that mask the added sort-of-dairy flavor that comes from the powder. Note that the powder mixes best with cool/cold foods; I find it clumps if I put it directly into something hot.
