I don't weigh most vegetables, especially the low calorie ones like lettuce, spinach, tomatoes, carrots, etc. I still log them but use volumetric figures instead. I did weigh them ages ago just to make sure I'm close to my guestimate volume and they were only a difference of maybe 4-5 calories. Fruits, I'll put in…

The bolded part is good advice. I've slowly started switching our meals to focus more on the veggies rather than the grains or meat. Veggies for me are more centered around leafy greens. And lately for me, my meals have been more of a singular dish, rather than an entree and sides. Whether it's a rice bowl, pasta dish,…

I can't say that I've ever had salmon patties and I've shied away from buying canned salmon. I don't know why. I buy other canned fish but something about canned salmon seems weird to me. I love salmon so I might have to give this a try. That's why I love MFP - opening up my horizons and such.

I clicked on this thread thinking there'd be a better way of posting a pic on your status, but it's still the same dumb way of posting a progress pic. Actually, I just wanted to say that I love @Xiaolongbao 's username

Not sure if it counts or if I would be considered a beginner but I do some bodyweight workout as part of my normal workout routine and part of judo. Since judo gyms are closed right now, what I'm doing to keep up with judo is more bodyweight conditioning type stuff - cartwheels, roundoffs, wall walks, handstands, etc. I…

I would second this alternative idea. I think I'm in the same situation in terms of not breathing properly. I always thought that I had good cardio fitness and had good controlled breathing. It wasn't until I was doing intense back-to-back-to-back sparring(randori) in judo that my coach noticed I was "hyperventilating".…

I'm not sure if there's an easier way to do this but here is a direct link to *all* your replies. On the web (don't know how to do it on the app), click on the gear icon near the top right of the page, click on View Profile, then Replies.

Yup, sparring with other clubs is a lot of fun. I live in a small town and this is the only place to do judo within two hours of here. Up until this past January, I was the only woman in the club. The other clubs we would fight is an MMA/jiujitsu place so I go to roll with other women. No striking but I would pick up…

Our one-hour judo sessions go something like this: 10 minutes warmup 20 minutes technique (which would be lightly throwing someone or rolling on the floor) 20 minutes randori (sparring) 10 minutes cooldown. I would only log the 20 minutes of sparring and eat those calories back (about 200 ish calories). Our Saturday…

Since it's a smart scale, I'm envisioning something that pairs up with your phone (via bluetooth perhaps) where you type it the food, reads the weight from the scale, then sends it off to MFP. *edit* yeah, it's probably not gonna be worth it like that, but it needs some sort of keyboard or maybe voice command?

I use a quadlock case+mount on my aerobar. It's on there tight and secure but I think they only have cases for iphones. As for apps, I use wahoo but I don't think they have turn by turn navigation, just tracking. As others have said, your native nav app should be good for cycling, especially if you're navigating by city…

^That looks like it's enough for 3-4 servings, depending on how much you actually eat. My go-to stir fry sauce is this: 1 tbsp sugar (or honey or brown sugar or anything sweet) 1 tbsp oyster sauce (or hoisin or fermented bean sauce) 1 tbsp soy sauce 1 tbsp cornstarch, optional, adjust as needed 1/4 cup broth This is pretty…

What martial art are you doing? As previously mentioned, 600+ calories burned for 1 hr of martial arts is highly suspect. I do judo and even on my most intense, continuous sparring sessions, I doubt I burn anywhere near 300 calories (of course as a taller male, you probably burn just a little more than me). During this…

Cuban rotation. Didn't know that there was a name for that. I'm still having problem with internal rotation and that's what my physical therapist tells me to do. As with any kind of exercise, watch your form with mobility exercises. Other parts of my body were overcompensating which I think led to my frozen shoulder. What…

My advice is to rest or take it super easy for a while. Don't be a hero and work through the pain. The pain you're experiencing is exactly the same thing I felt before it developed into a full blown frozen shoulder/adhesive capsulitis. The pain was right at the base of the deltoid and would also "give way" (I was doing…

back to the original thread topic. Here's my recipe for low calorie croissant which is only 75 calories per serving. dough 4.3 g water, warm 0.2 g yeast 8 g all purpose flour 1 g sugar 0.2 g salt 0.8 g egg yolk 5.2 g unsalted butter Mix together all ingredients, reserving 4.5 grams of the butter. Knead using the slap and…

I endorse the water pan method. I've done a back-to-back comparison of water pan vs. no water pan and the results are definitely noticeable. Make sure you take out the water pan around the half way point, otherwise the loaf might get too fluffy/loose. That's what happened with my last 100% ww loaf. I did a sourdough pizza…

For that kind of money, I'd rather get a new stove/oven. :smiley: We did buy an ooni 3. Much cheaper. We're still getting the hang of it, but like I said, my biggest problem is getting it from the table to the peel to the oven. I suspect that my problem is my dough, so I'll have to keep tweaking the recipe that I'm using…

My xray never showed anything. I don't remember whether or not the MRI showed anything but it did rule out any tears. During the cortisone shots, they could definitely see inflammation in the joint. If it is adhesive capsulitis, the recovery time for surgery is quick. I went on a Friday morning, was done by noon, and back…

I must admit that I haven't actually put it to good use yet.

Arrgh. Pizza dough has been thoroughly annoying me, specifically getting it from the table to the peel to the oven. I've resorted to using parchment paper but it's not getting the browning/charring that I want.

Oof. I haven't needed to get any parts recently but right after the lockdown started I ordered a power meter from jensonusa and had no problem. Got my stuff the next day no problem. I wonder what their stock situation is right now. I've been an avid cyclist since my high school days. I was part of my college club team.…

My son has outgrown his bike and even back in late February/early March it was hard finding anything available. I haven't looked since then but I guess there's no point in looking now.

Aha! Vital wheat gluten! Thanks for the recipe. I bought vital wheat gluten right when the "Great 2020 Grocery Buying Panic" (lol, love that term) started but I lucked out and randomly found bread flour at Target and have been finding it at odd locations. I haven't used the vital wheat gluten yet but that'll probably be…

Is it an actual bone spur or adhesive capsulitis (soft tissue grows around the shoulder capsule)? I don't know about bone spurs but I had frozen shoulder last year which was a result of overuse causing adhesive capsulitis. In my case, my doctors said that it can heal itself within 2-3 years or I can opt for surgery. I…

@mjbnj0001 what's your ww recipe. The crumb in your second pic looks fantastic!

Gyms are considered high risk here in California so it may be a while before they open up. Depending on when they are allowed to open, I may wait a couple of weeks before actually going in. I usually go mid-morning and there's hardly anyone there. I usually change at the gym but I may have to rethink that to minimize my…

My in-laws live in Hokkaido, about an hour south of Sapporo. Rural, but not as rural as Nakatombetsu. You don't have to get a Hokkaido cookbook unless you're specifically curious about Hokkaido food, not that it's all that different than Japanese food. Seafood from Hokkaido is the best IMO and the crabs are great! It's…

leftover gai yang (Thai) chicken, leftover fried rice, spinach and cherry tomatoes. Lunch is usually a hodgepodge of leftover food from previous dinners.
