To add to everything already said above you can also start your own little garden, grow things, eat them, save the ends and bits that don't get eaten, make compost, use to grow more things. Easy way to "not waste" and saves a bit of money if you don't mind seasonal fruits/veggies. Man that statement made me feel like a…

Zero per week, all done. Re-voicing the food scale. Buy one, use it, for everything, continue to use it even when you are done. I take Fred everywhere, we are buddies. I feed him batteries and he tells me how much things weight. Also cheap ones are fine as long as they have the accuracy you want.

While I'm a little more ground based I'm going on my 3rd month of parallette work and loving it. I do have a set of rings but I figured one thing at a time. While I most aerial stuff doesn't hold a lot of interest for me I have alway wanted to try pole work. It has always looked like one hell of a workout and if there is…

While chicken is a usual staple of my lunch is some form or fashion a must have is also a peanut butter and banana sandwich. I think I've had one every day for a year or two and still not tired of it.

Also what hasn't been said outright but has been implied. Go to the store and try them on first. I have a Fenix 5, it looks funny on my wife's wrist. She wears a Fitbit, cheaper, smaller, and fits her needs (also going on 3 years of service despite Fitbit's usual M.O.).

I haven't taken either of those brands but the way I had thermogenics explained to me was that they help you burn off about a meals worth of extra calories a month. So about 500-700 calories in a month, that really isn't much of anything and definitely not worth the money (to me at least). While I have not verified these…

Although I can't claim geek (I'm a nerd through and through) I do gaming, anime, and cosplay (at least I'm trying). I like to weapon build (I suck at pretty much the rest of it) and now that I've lost the weight I'm pushing to get a few complete builds going for the local cons. Now if only I could make the price of worbla…

If you buy into the somatotypes thing then I am what you call an endomorph, I put on mass really easy (I don't see it as a bad thing) but the fundamentals of CICO still apply and I can attest to this from 3 years of maintenance. You can also use this to your advantage. Work the strength category and get those gains (don't…

Pfft resell those for $3 a box. You'll be sold out in an hour easy.

Are we talking volumetrically or numerically? While I ate "a" steak I had a side of beans which was like 150 of the little guys (I didn't count but there was a lot of them). I do eat veggies with every meal but containing to "beans and lintels" I would say I eat more weight in meat (of all animals, I do not discriminate).…

200 seems really excessive. I spend $50-$70 a month on supplements (multivitamin, biotin, ON whey) and that's all I really "need". You could honestly get everything from food but some people (myself included) use supplements as safety nets/easy routes. Even training hard I couldn't think of anything you would need 200 for.…

I also would suggest strength training. It really helps form the body and allows you to "feel good" and really ignore the scale. While I do stick to my maintenance range it has slowly increased with time because I have increased my muscle mass while dropping my body fat. With the strength training you can move you body…

Started with the Fitbit Blaze then jumped to the Garmin Fenix 5, money well spent I love the thing.

FitNotes, TrailForks, MFP (given), Garmin

I eat a peanut butter sandwich (no jelly) and two bananas with lunch every day. Healthy fats and well they taste good and I've had no issues. If said person can back up their statement with science then maybe you should look into what they are saying but if not then I would just go back to what you were doing. There is…

I usually don't worry about the odd bad night's sleep here or there because they happen and I just work through them. If it become a pattern (because sometimes they do with kids) and I get more than a few in a row I will slow down a bit because I know I'm not recovering as well as I should.

Your obsessive side sounds similar to mine and it is a beast you are going to have to learn to deal with. I have best learned to deal with mine by simply not logging food when I eat out and just rest easy in the fact that the one day is nothing compared to the big picture and I more than likely won't even see it on the…

The thing I found with IF: I'm naturally a volume eater, I like to eat big meals. I used to eat 5-7 small meals a day, I was hangry all the time, it sucked. I tried out IF and easily fell into 16/8-18/6 and I loved the 2 big meals and 1 small snack. I'm hardly hungry and as long as I don't try to push past 20 hours I don't…

I just use plain old mason jars. You can buy a ton of them for cheap, they come in a bunch of different sizes, they seal up well, and they can survive the fridge or freezer. Plus you can use them for actually canning of things if you feel so inclined, I personally haven't yet but I know people that do and that stuff lasts…

Darebee.com is now where all of these reside. There are these and many more.

Jumping in on this not because I have anything to contribute (sorry) but because I'm in the same boat.

I like mine for all that has been said above as well as for the fact that I'm directionally challenged and like to trail run. My watch has a nice little breadcrumb feature that I can use to back track when I take the wrong fork and end up who knows where (happens more often than I'd care to admit).

People said I was addicted to the gym as well...so I built one in my garage, problem solved. Honestly as long as it isn't negatively impacting your life you are fine. Also garage gyms are the best.

If you have a well balanced diet I wouldn't worry about it. Multi vitamins are more of a safety net than a need. If you are short on something take a specific pill (iron or magnesium or etc) if not then avoid the upset tummy, not worth it. Sorry no suggestions, I take GNC Men's Sport and it doesn't bother my stomach but…

I want to eventually make it into the 50-400 club. Complete a 50 mile run and be able to deadlift 400lbs.

whey (even on off days), multi, creatine, magnesium, caffeine (coffee). Nothing special

I lift a lot and I'm male so things may be a bit different (not sure, I haven't research female diets) but I do a similar approach: For my 2500-2800 calories 1g fat per kg lean body mass (around 65-70g ish) at least 1g protein per lb body weight (165g) carbs and extra protein where they fall - this generally leads me to…

If you want to powerlift or go really hardcore into bodybuilding you will probably out grow Planet Fitness (although some people have made it work). If not it will probably work for you just fine. It is a good gym that doesn't hype things up very much and if you are looking for a cheap place to knock out a workout it is…

I've done 0 drop for years now (both on trail and road) but they have some cushion. While my wife does minimalist I personally can't handle it. I tried it out for a few months and could never get used to the transition so I went back to my 0 drops. I made the change to correct overstriding issues and it really helped me…
