tbh I think culinary school is kind of useless. it is sort of a foot in the door, but that's it. get a little notebook and make notes on recipes or your own creations. the strengths and weaknesses, the exact procedures you used, etc. that will really help you improve super fast. also, if you haven't already, learn how to…

fast food is cheap, salty candy. depending on the restaurant you are getting a lot more. I don't think you can say that something is healthier because it is in a smaller portion or lower calorie. cardboard is lower calorie than fresh vegetable, does that make it healthier?

lol that turnip flute

hehe also, i'm a classically trained chef. i've worked in restaurants all of my life. so the food i prepare at home is just as luxurious as the food i prepare at my restaurants :smirk:
-
also, more often restaurant meals are more micro nutrient dense than fast food. possibly more calories but also more nutrients. i think it absolutely depends on the restaurant and the choices you make. if i go somewhere and have salmon with kale and sweet potatoes, it's not the same as having a double cheeseburger with…

ehhhh. nah.

that's what i'm doing right now. haha read anything good recently?
-
lol thanks that is EXTREMELY useful to me in my current situation.

it's the internet. that's like a thing people say. i think she is incredibly concerned about you advising her to do something she considers extremely dangerous. i mean still you should link some sources if you have them, cause .. like i was saying.. misinformation... confusion... nutritional myths...
-
wanting a source isn't being a jerk, tho. she has legitimate concern for her health. sources prevent confusion and the spreading of misinformation, which lead to NUTRION MYTHS!

lol yep. the "weight gain is probably muscle" thing. ha even pushing yourself w/ lifting and diet will only MAYBE give you 1lb of muscle/mo. another one: eating late at night is bad for you/fattening.

I log 5pm to 5pm which helps so much. or log the largest meal of the day first so i can make up for it with the rest of the day. i think it also helps to pre log things and adjust them if necessary.

I have heard really good things about keto, and did a little personal research on the subject. I think it is safe, but there aren't any real studies that last longer than 18 months. I tried it for a few months, but couldn't handle the no fruit thing, and got sooooo sick of avocados and eggs :persevere:. my parents LOVE it,…

lol i think you need a heart rate monitor.

if you don't like it, don't be afraid to switch to another sport!

something i do is log my calories with the largest meal first. its way easier to stick to a goal that way. i do 5pm to 5pm

lol i'm like "oh weird, what is he gunna do with that swiss ball... no no.. the smith machine?? with the.. put that back... PUT THAT BACK!" that and all the bros like making just the most awful noises. haha like damn does it really take all that to bench 65 lb?
-
^^^ hahah this. omg WHO CARES. the only thing I think about when there are men lifting near me is OMG RE RACK YOUR FREAKING WEIGHTS. or plzzz get out of the squat rack w/ those curls. also idk why but a lot of men do really weird stuff at the gym. haha sometimes I watch them like about to run to the panic button to call an…

ooof. okay, going to take a few weeks off. you're right, resting now is way better than surgery, etc. thanks for your help everyone!

any suggestions on what to do in off time? i dont want to lose my muscles :pensive:
-
spinning, cycling, biking! after i tore my mcl this got my knees feeling great in no time. make sure to have your bike fitted. anything that will strengthen the muscles around your knees will help. for anaerobic exercise, focus on quads, glutes and hamstrings. goblet squats w/ low weight, stuff like that. really focus on…
-
good posture always. i found some stretches that tend to make lower back pain worse that i had been doing a lot. they feel really good but i guess they actually cause more inflammation. avoid things like bending over and touching your toes. cherimoose had some great suggestions.

i love vegetable based dressing. puree a juicy vegetable w/ lemon juice or vinegar, garlic, herbs and toss w/ you lettuce and whatever else. feels kind of weird to toss veggies w/ veggies but it's low calorie and tasty. one of my favorites is grilled green tomato, onion, yellow bell pepper, pureed w/ lemon juice, garlic,…
