Indeed. Running doesn't always need rest days. At least not every time. It depends on the duration, distance, and intensity of the run. And your general fitness or motivation. If you're doing sprints and/or Higher intensity runs, then you might need rest days between them as regardless of distance, they are taxing on your…

One way that might help you would be your runners. To get a good pair made for running or longer distances. And possibly with extra padding too, depending on your preferences. For years i've stuck with a normal/general pair of runners, the same kind, would buy a new pair of it every year. But I recently upgraded to some…

Cholesterol in food doesn't automatically equate to cholesterol in the body. There's even been studies done where a group of people ate an absurd amount of eggs every day (I think either like 6eggs, or maybe even 11 eggs or something), for a period of a few weeks or a few months (sorry, bad memory). And the results showed…

I agree. I've been using MyProtein all year. For their protein powders, and their vitamins/supplements. Also after reading through many different threads on different community forums (bodybuilding, mfp, and at least 2-3 more sites) along with site reviews and some research comparisons. MP usually rates in the top 5 of…

I'm also wondering that. even an extra large apple and extra large banana, would be like just 40 grams of sugar. And I think eating those two together, along with a big breakfast or one with even more sugar, is probably just bordering on being greedy. (due to the sizes of the fruit. Compared to smaller ones)

Less carbs can make you a little more tired. At least until your body adjusts to it (it will easily start using fat and protein for energy when out of carbs, that's no problem, you'll just feel more tired until your body gets used to it). Less carbs can also mean less sugars too if you lowered sweet foods that you were…

Depends on what you wanna call a cheatday. Everyday is one for me. Ice cream, chocolat,e crisps/chips, popcorn. Whatever I feel like. Just usually within my calorie limit, or a little above if i've been particularly active. Although usually on Fridays and/or Saturdays, I will eat less of my "normal daily food", to have…

Fat from your belly is the last to go in almost all cases. Just lose more. If you are in america, you should easily be able to get Ephedrine. (controlled/monitored, but as far as i'm aware, its legal all over there). Using Caffeine (if you don't regularly drink coffee or energy drinks. Otherwise once you build the…

what difference does it matter how much you work out or do cardio? unless you're doing enough to create the calorie deficit. You're not going to lose anything. Eat less. Find out your calorie usage. And eat less than that each day. Simple as. Using strength training or cardio to create the deficit if you're willing to put…

Depending on how aggressive the calorie restriction was - Your metabolism could slow down, meaning that instead of burining 2000 calories for example on a daily basis, that now for the exact same activity you do in a day, it might be burning the 1800 calories only, or even lower. - Your body adapts to exercises you do…

Protein powder doesn't do any of that. It adds protein to your diet. End of. Any satiety or prevention of cravings isn't from whey, or any sort of protein powder. Its from having something in your stomach, and your digestive system working on processing/digesting that - ie protein in this case, that is making you satisfied…

Eggs for snacks? Peanut butter on bread? (depending on type of bread and amount of peanut butter, you could get about 100 calories for a slice + peanut butter. And using like a wholegrain / seeded bread, you might be able to get even up to 15 grams of protein from that snack or more. Various nuts? Just a plain protein…

Never bought them. But have considered a few times. There are 9 cal packs here. Cheap enough too. Always tempting during lunch at work. Haha.

Will take a picture the next time I make it!

Update: I would recommend this breakfast for anyone that wants a long lasting satiating / filling meal. I went almost 7 hours, skipping lunch, before having dinner. And didn't have any hunger or cravings or desire to eat until dinner time. And even then, I was in an "I could eat" mood, not outright hungry or starving or…

Everyone has their own tastes, so it'll be gross to some people, delicious to other people. Regarding nutrition though. Depends on what you were/are looking for. For me personally, it could do with more protein, but that's just cause i have a high daily protein intake. But overall, it as a little of everything, carbs (not…

To add to that post. My point about the difference between gross calories burned and net calories burned. Is that if you were to eat back the calories you burn during exercise. And you ate back all 400 gross calories burned. THat would be more than you should've. As your basic metabolic rate / resting metabolic rate - the…

i don't know how your bike calorie counter could show that much... Keep in mind, an active adult (of roughly normal weight) might "only" burn 2500 calories / day. Or even up to 3k for a very active adult. And I think one of those super intense programs like p90x or whatever, "only" burns 300 calories per hour? (or maybe…

Eggs Pretty filling (imo anyway), and healthy. Decent protein for not so many claories too. 3 large eggs, scrambled can be like 210 calories. butter and milk to make them creamy/fluffy too. Replace normal milk with like protein milk or something, if you wanted those extra for Gs of protein too. With those extras, even if…

Just an add-on to my long post: If you were to either lower your weight loss to 1-1.5lbs/week, or increase your exercise. So that you could eat 1500 calories / day. You could still do 3x 400 calorie meals. But also have 3x 100 calorie snacks between them too. A slice of toast, with low fat cheese melted on top. could be…

so you just choose to make weight loss difficult for yourself then? 1. Change your goals to lose 1 pound / week or 1.5 pounds / week. Instantly more calories per day for you. Its a lifestyle change. NOt a quick fad diet where the second you're done, you start eating like you used to before and gain it all back again. If…

Anyone know if its 240F or 240C? Since those two are pretty different....and i'm a complete noob at anything in the kitchen

Is that 240f or celsius? :smile:

Yes. That's the only way human on earth is able to lose weight. Start gulping down shake after shake from shakeology every day. The more shakes you have each day, the faster the felt just literally falls off your body (Really!)

Irish, if you wanna add :)

vodka contains alot of calories too which I learned the hard way... All alcohol has calories. When i drink with friend,s its usually half a bottle ot a full bottle of vodka. I think half a bottle was aorund 700 calories?

The food you eat isn't being used for energy for what you do after you finish eating. It takes time to be digested, and broken down into the usable energy for your body. Alot of what you use is glycogen stored in your muscles, and stored fat (which then gets replenished at some point later once your food is digested.…

For your weight, maybe anywhere between 90-120g protein would be good. Cause mfp's default recommendation is a bit low of a daily % of calories from protein. I weight slightly less than you, but I've got my target at 170g protein. But i just looovve chicken and turkey breast slices and enjoy the taste of a protein shake or…
