I try not to substitute....i will just have a lesser amount.

We keep salmon burgers in the freezer...wife doesn't eat beef, so if we have burgers, she can have one of these. I'll have them too if I don't feel like beef or turkey burgers. We just throw them on the grill and then usually use mayo and pickles as toppings.

I've been going to the gym for 4 months...and during that time using MFP to record calories. Down roughly 40lbs. I would say I notice a difference within a month... a month and a half when people started really started noticing. Now, several sizes down Neck 18"-16" Jeans size 40 down to 36 Shirts from US XL to Euro L or…

I like Toronto municipal water... That being said, when I used to travel for work I often found the water in NY or FLA tasted like crap to the point I couldn't drink it.

Cardio after....after 30-35 minutes on the bike, I am soaked in sweat and drained....not the time to start with weights

Down 40lbs. Gave a garbage bag (contractor size) to church for their lunch/drop in program. A lor of it was in excellent shape.

I use instant mashed potatoes to thicken my puréed soups if they are not the consistency I am looking for....

Roasted Butternut squash risotto and a quick chopped salad with romaine, green chickpeas, carrots, cucumber, artichoke hearts

Risotto

Of course. My daily intake is set for target loss of 2 lbs a week. If I exercise (I only track cardio at the gym) then I eat that back or I will lose even more....

Probably...but then again, I don't care about a maximum lift...for me it is irrelevant. My goal is 3 sets of 8-12...once I hit 12 I move up weight. I do use the hammer strength bench press (so yes, you can add additional weight) and do 3 sets of 10 at 200lbs. Not a fan of the deadlift, but again using the hammer strength…

For cardio MFP and the bike at my gym give almost the same number...so I don't use the bike number. I don't track calories from weights..,,or extra walking etc..,,

Enough is a loaded word. I do believe that people eat way too much or have a misconception that they need far more than they actually do....not that it is bad...just unnecessary. As others have said, there are many option for sources of protein...but it does depend on what you mean by vegetarian: vegan, lacto ovo, etc In…

Just cool them in ice water immediately...

Eat rice all the time....typically a cup a at lunch....alternately two cups at dinner....

43 (a few months away from 44). Was over 250 in November. Spent lots of time in the gym, eating to lose ~2 lbs a week...and am now ar 212 or so. Aiming for 195ish....

No difference in how you cook...

Turkey, tofurkey, mashed potatoes, mushrooms, carrots ...wine

Brine overnight in a salt/brown sugar solution. Grill....

43...and I am finding it easier than in the past. I find that I do eat less as a rule...so holding to a Lowe a out is easier

Not sure how you got that much fat? I buy boneless skinless and the fat content is nowhere near that level.

Agree completely...even in my deficit, I am more than maintaining muscle....but I fit into sweet spot.

For me fruit is a dessert...I usually try and have at least one per day....

That's the start of a nice rice pudding.....

Simple brine of brown sugar and salt....then grill over charcoal...wonderful and simple. Nothing else is needed. Now that being said, I'm not using chicken breast unless forced. Thighs are far tastier and cheaper.

I make small changes probably every month...but I do go to the gym 6 days a week. Some changes could be small such a moving to a close hands facing grip Lat pull down vs typical bar or could just be change in exercise such as replacing skull crusher with dips . I'll also change weight and reps....for the next month, I am…

More or less constant. My weekly, monthly, 3 month are all about 1.8 lbs per week on average

Every day before my shower....just part of the routine

Didn't cut anything out....but did limit frequency and in some instances portion size... I will still eat a big burger, have fries with mayo, a bag of chips, rib steak etc...

Go to food would be either Sichuan or Thai with Tofu or Shrimp. Another would be broiled salmon/trout/char with herbs from the garden.
