^^all sound good. Mine is similar to some, I think it's really easy: 5 x whole eggs, whip em up 1 x cup of oats Blend it all up You can do 1/2 oats...anyway, it makes about 3 x good sized pancakes, then I smear something sweet on them, almond butter or some jam, whatever makes you happy. And drink water people!

@cushman5279 good points, especially the water and protein because those are two of my guiding principles,,,,,,,,,,the others involve muscle confusion (which I understand is an urban myth but it makes me feel good) and don't drink fruit juice thinking it's healthy.

It's more fun when their comments are unsolicited, like, "are you losing weight?", "have you lost weight?", or my favorite, "what did you do with the rest of you?"

Yep, my wife tries to keep me fat because I'm so hot, she's so selfish.

You are what you eat, so obviously if you eat too much fruit you are one. Does that make sense?

@ASKyle just walk around the gym with your ILS and your shades on, I see how you are. Quit flexing in the mirror too, that drives me nuts!

Can't believe no one has said CHICKEN BREASTS!!!! Some EVOO, Lowry's or Old Bay,,,,,,,,,,,,throw it in the oven on 350 for about an hour along with some sweet potatoes, set for a few days of lunch or whatever...........drink water people!

I have ADHD so I go from running to swimming to biking to rucking to the elyptical to the stationary bike to walking to intervals to...........well, you get the idea. Mix it up! And, drink water people!

Two words. You already mentioned it, but, Folic Acid.

@tat2cookie awesome pic! good discussion. @SpecialKH you're extremely organized, I can only strive to that level! I'm lucky if I can bake some chicken breasts and steam/bake some sweet potatoes and steam some kale.........that's the extent of my preps for the week.

Yo! Drink water!

I did it this morning, even after I completed it for the day..........just go to whatever day and add it............

This is a timely string. I've been attempting to adhere to a 18:6 at least during the week (Mon-Fri) and then be sensible on the weekend but it's hard making bacon and eggs and pancakes for the fam at 0800 and then waiting until 3 or 4 pm to eat.........I digress. Unrelated but related, I listened to this guy from Wet Wolf…

There is a class of vegetables known as "free veggies" that one may not need to worry about so much because to eat enough to matter would be preposterous. Did I spell that right? Examples may include: lettuce brussel sprouts kale cabbage artichoke onions celery I think if I found myself counting onions in my salad, I would…

Well said. And drink water.

Drink water!

I have to adjust my goals a bit for this week, last week sucked. 1. IF Monday - Friday (18:6), shoot for my 1500 calories and shoot for hitting my macros. I say shoot for because life keeps getting in the way of things. 2. Practice my parallettes 1 x time this week. 3. Practice handstands 1 x time this week.

I just like the big nose,,,not!

1. Drink water. 2. Train consistently. 3. Sleep.

Is it too early to annotate some stuff? I am assuming I can add/edit when I do my bo-staff training. Team Name: Maggie and Gleen My Three Goals Met: NO Attack Survived: YES 1 x mile run: :8::45 Push ups: 60 Air Squats: 75 Plank: :1::15 (75 seconds) Sit and reach: +1.5" Please correct my conduct concerning TWD challenge as…

I suck. I haven't practiced any parallettes,,,,,,,,I need to do the challenge today....and I've been over on my calories all week.

Stay motivated!

@shadow2soul that's pretty bad *kitten*, although I do not have a contraption that goes with the site :neutral:

Jasmine.

Yo, add away. First responders rule, thank you.

I just threw one together the other night: 5 x eggs (the whole thing, beat it up, add a splash of leche if you so desire) 1/2 - 1 cup of oats (or not) 1 x scoop of protein powder (I used Pro Jym cookies and cream, yum!) Threw it in a blender. Blend it. Threw in about 6 x strawberries and the rest of my blueberries,,,,blend…

^^^good gouge. Looks like it's wide open for you, if you haven't been doing "it", you have to start somewhere and then see where you're at. Times like these I like to point out that it's all 80% diet...

Baked. I get a bottle of North Carolina BBQ sauce, throw it in with the chicken, 375 for an hour-ish. I throw in my potatoes at the same time, just quartered lengh-wise with some EVOO and Lowry's...I usually let the taters go a little longer than an hour to get them a bit crispy...but it's an efficient process for me.

I agree and disagree a bit. I think macros are important. Not sure if there is a "right way" and "wrong way" but this is what I've been doing. I'm 5'6/160lbs. I arbitrarily picked 1500 calories as my goal for daily cals. I bought into the "1g of protein per pound of lean muscle-mass" to maintain it. I made a ballpark…

Good reality check. For me.
