  • From a different article... (emphasis mine)
  • I tried the cakes a couple years ago and liked them a lot (especially the cinnamon). Looks like there are new flavors since then - so am unsure of the orange cream and raspberry cream. I didn't get them again because of the cost, may have to pick up a few, thanks for the post!
  • Examine.com posted the following on their Instagram page 2 days ago... I'm unsure of which study they are referencing but thought it was pertinent to this discussion. I would be interested in hearing more about it. Edit: here's the referenced study... https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/31215980
  • Agreed. I started seeing a therapist about a month ago and it has greatly helped. edit: forgot I already posted about this!
  • I am very happy with "Jefit"
  • Examine.com published an article recently, "5 little-known facts about protein", which includes the following... Lot's more details in the article. Seems pertinent to this discussion so am sharing...
  • Those flavor drops most likely have the same "chemicals" as well...
  • I’m experiencing something similar... I have no issue falling asleep but I wake up ever 90 minutes or so. So frustrating! I had severe sleep apnea (my AHI was over 120). After losing a bunch of weight, my obstructive apneas have virtually gone away but I still am experiencing hypopneas and some central apneas. I still use…
  • Mine are about 16 1/2 inches. I haven't really concentrated on them other than doing some seated calf raises. I think they got that big from all the extra weight I use to carry around (I was 240+ pounds heavier) and maybe its partly genetics? I actually wish they were a bit smaller... with all the skinny/slim sizes these…
  • Lenny & Larry's... they have 2 different size cookies (2 oz and 4 oz). I rarely see the 2 oz. size but they exist.
  • MythBusters did a segment on the 5-second rule a while back (I miss that show!)... https://youtu.be/ODfbaZ9_XzQ
  • Chilly Cow has a store locator on their website, see here: https://chillycow.com/where-to-buy

  • Thanks @psychod787 - sounds like you are finding your way. I never realized how difficult it would be once I got to maintenance!
  • I lost over 240 pounds and have been maintaining that loss for about 1 1/2 years now. However, my weight has been like a roller coaster because I still struggle with binges. Up 5 pounds, down 5, over and over. I am caught in a restrict/binge cycle. I obsess about food. When I am restricting I constantly think about all the…
  • I normally get about 40g/day. In addition to the foods already mentioned, these are some of the high fiber foods I eat often... * Questbars - about 14g per bar, 190 to 200 cal. (differences among flavors), and about 20g protein too! * peanut powder, 60g has 10g and 250 cal. (I use the Crazy Richard's brand, PB2 is more…
  • For the most part, just whip, set, and eat. Sometimes I do a version of this "high protein poptart" that @kellyjellybellyjelly turned me on to (mixes the pudding mix with Greek yogurt).
  • Born and raised in Woodbridge (suburb of DC), lived in Harrisonburg when I attended JMU, and now living in Alexandria.
  • Envy is my favorite!! They are almost twice the price of a red delicious but worth it IMHO. Pink Lady is also one of my faves. I'm currently obsessed with Jell-O sugar free fat free pudding. I whip it up with Fairlife skim milk to get an extra boost of protein and will nosh on the entire batch (depending on the flavor, 260…
  • Not trying to pile on, just an FYI which I found surprising... America's Test Kitchen likes Hershey's natural cocoa powder quite a bit... (Droste was their overall favorite)
  • Agreed, and the USDA database has multiple options for lamb... also had New Zealand and Australian ground lamb and a ton of other options depending on the cut. But without more details (and not wanting to be "confusing") I figured the generic entry would help.
  • According to the USDA, 100g of ground lamb is 282 kcal. See here for full details... https://ndb.nal.usda.gov/ndb/foods/show/17224
  • I've lost a bunch of weight and have been keeping it off for about a year and a half now... I am terrified about gaining it back (or even some of it back). I don't trust myself and am planning on tracking my calories for the remainder of my life. Whenever I go "off-book" it seems to always turn into a binge (in the…
  • Finally made that “poptart” recipe, LOVED it! Well, at least my version... I reduced the amount of filling (only used 1 of those 90 calorie containers of Fage 0%) and didn’t use any of it to frost the outside (skipped the cereal sprinkles too)... used a full lavash and cut in 1/2 instead of in thirds. Got it nice and…
  • Thanks for this @kimny72 - these types of threads are common and frustrate me. Unless one defines what they are specifically looking for (i.e. macro mix, vegan?, type of sweetener, etc.) you'll always get a wide range of opinions that often compete. I regularly eat a wide variety of protein bars: Questbars; Redcon1 MRE;…
  • @psuLemon has a great post about beneficial supplements check it out here... https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10637410/beneficial-supplements-which-ones-are-right-for-you
  • Examine.com is a great resource. They have a nice article that may be of interest which includes detailed references: "The top 19 nutrition myths of 2019"... https://examine.com/nutrition/awful-nutrition-myths/
  • Agreed! I found them in the self-checkout area of Giant... didn't think they were that great. I also tried the jalapeno M&Ms and, surprisingly, quite liked them.
  • I am intrigued by these, want to give them a try... but man, not sure I want to buy 4 boxes (all I see available on their website). I'm guessing you got the sampler?
