So I made it last night and it's really good! My ingredients: 5 cans of drained white albacore 2 whole dill pickles .5 cucumber, squeezed 1 red onion 6 hard boiled eggs Lemon juice (1 lemon) Lemon zest 4 gloves of garlic 1.5 tbsp of Pepperoncinis 2 tsp of olive oil 1 small case of cherry tomatoes 3 cups of greek yogurt. I…

I was going to do avocado but how is the shelf-life? I'm trying to make it last at least 5 days.

How about breaststroke? I have a terrible breaststoke lol

My breast has always been garbage. So I split around 80/hundred free but 150/hundred breast. Any tips for breast stroke?

Hmm I need to pick up my freestyle endurance, I've always been a sprinter. I'm trying to keep my workouts at an hour due to time constraints. Which means I probably won't be going over 2500 unless on the weekend. What's your 100y/min?

Well I can't run for crap, so I'll just cycle, swim, and crawl into a triathlon lol

I'm eating at Maintenance excluding working out. I'm going to give it time, my endurance in the pool has sky rocketed so I could just be substituting muscle density for fat loss. I'll give it at least two more weeks.

Never saw these links before. thanks

Regardless of the scale, 2600-2800 is where I should be to maintain weight. Unless I'm sneaking in 400/500 calories then I don't think that's a huge issue. @quiksylver296 I think time may be my issue then. I guess I'll postpone my cake-only diet for another month...

Just pick up a can of beans and a bag of beans and look at the back. That simple. Don't really care to argue further about beans.

I don't have a food weight nor do I want to track that religiously lol What I mean by under measuring is I'll stop around 2500 to count for that half pound of chicken that may have been 5/8th a pound.

Per gram - 0 sodium unless you add it - close to 40% more protien - close to 30% more fiber - Small benefits in calcium and iron.

I log pretty accurately. I eat close to 2600 calories a day, usually under to count for under-measuring. This should be fairly sufficient in maintaining weight. This isn't counting the deficit created by my workouts... I net between 1900 and 2000. 6'2" at 223lbs

You should cut out a little bit of the fruits and substitute them with veges, you're getting a lot of sugar from those fruits. Also, incorporate some nuts. My favorites are brazil, almond, and pistachio. Only issue is making sure you eat few enough to not stack the calories! I eat 5, 12, 20, respectively, every day.

Well if you don't currently eat beans and you start, make sure you drink plenty of water since you're going to probably be taking in a lot more fiber than your body is used to. But overall, eat those beans! Make sure to buy them dry and cook them instead of canned. The health difference between canned beans and cooked…

Breakfast - 3 Eggs, Blackbeans, Corn, Potato, mixed bell peppers. PreLunch - Apple Lunch - Salad, 5 Brazil nuts, 12 Almonds, 20 Pistachios. Postlunch - Cottage Cheese, Peach, Small greek yogurt Dinner - Whatever she cooks lol; Last night was .5lb chicken breast, green beans, carrots, and plain baked potato. As for the work…

These are all amazing for you but have low calories. We need to find something that's both nutritious and heavy lol

Then I guess I'll need to start focusing on greater consumption because I think cutting my output wouldnt be smart since I'm trying to increase stamina and efficiency. What are some good filler foods? I tend to have a couple fruits a day, hand full of nuts, cottage cheese, yogurt, and occasional salad as midday snacks. I…

A high calorie snack I current eat is a mix of pistachio, almonds and Brazil nuts. Fat content always gets flagged by MFP...

I've always been told that I shouldn't loose more than 1 to 1.5 lbs a week. So should I be following this more closely to ensure that I'm not over-working/under-eating? Issue here is my weight varies a couple pounds within a week as is.

So I may need to eat more in order to lose more?

Given my current weight, I actually feel like the estimated burn may be too low. It takes a lot to move this blob up a hill at 18 mph lol. I'm concerned that I may not be inputting enough calories and could put my body into some weird shock. But I don't feel like I need to eat more; I'm not hungry anyway.
