  • Edamame, nutritional yeast, plant based protein powders, nuts, legumes
  • They don't care about what you are doing. The fact that you are lifting weights at all shows you have your priorities straight. I once went to failure on overhead presses and couldn't get the bar back up to the rack (though not for lack of, very awkward, trying). A guy came up to me and asked if I needed help getting the…
  • Oatmeal, yogurt with mix-ins, do a tofu scramble just like you would eggs, whole wheat toast with a nut butter, green smoothie, pancakes, waffles, pizza, leftovers, PB&J........

  • Salt substitutes are pure potassium chloride and super easy to work into most any meal or baked good.
  • Home gym FTW! I have a squat rack/bench combo, a pull up stand, resistance bands, oly bar, screw-lock dumbbells and various plate weights. I got all of it for what I would end up paying in 18 montha of gym dues. It's all I need. I never have to wait for the *kitten* doing shrugs in the one squat rack at the gym, or the…
  • Find things you enjoy doing so that you will stay with it. Avoid isolated muscle exercises and focus on compound movements. Lift weights a few times a week. Don't just focus on cardio.

  • Gotcha. I have android devices and it hasn't been the smoothest running app. Sometimes it seems to bring up my food and other times it seems to want to search the database. Also, I'm sure there's user error.
  • I would just like to have a better way of picking my food to log it instead of just by frequent, meal or alphabetical. I was hoping someone had found a hack to list foods by category like fruit, vegetables etc. As of right now I have this 2 page list I have to flip through to get to all of my foods and it feels like it…
  • Try keeping a food diary and cutting out certain food groups for a week or two at a time to try and catch any patterns that will point to a certain food.
  • Please read up on IIFYM. Also professional help is nothing to be ashamed or afraid of. There is no such thing as 'clean' or 'dirty' foods. Moderation is key and accepting that will allow you to release some of the control. It's hard, I get it. I've never really had a totally healthy relationship with food and I'm not…
  • I've also had issues. While I'm not 100% clear I've found that washing my sheets more often, cleaning my face twice a day and also using a charcoal based cleanser a few times a week helped me immensely.
  • Depending on what equipment you have available and where you are working out maybe look into the assistance bands. I workout at home and have one I use and it's the only thing that helped me progress. I use this one and I like that as I progress I can pull off bands to work towards bodyweight.…
