If you are going to choose to eat that way, then you are choosing to accept the side effects. With that much activity and that little fuel, your body is going to be hungry, and it is going to regularly send you signals to feed it. You can expect irritability, headaches, fatigue, urge to binge/overeat, and a preoccupation…

I'm at 5'9 and 125lbs. Even just a couple pounds now is noticeable. At my highest (180lbs) people noticed the first 10lbs I lost. But the next 20 or so after that wasn't as big of a difference. Losing from 140 to 130 was a huge difference.

What shoe do you use?

I know someone who does it with quinoa. She mixes tumeric, cumin and paprika into the water with the quinoa. Then add roasted garlic after. She ate the quinoa blend with a lot of different combos one of which was sautéed spinach, portabella mushroom, cherry tomato and cashews.

You could probably easily make that taste combo. Use a big pretzel rod and split it into 2 halves. Mix up some PB2 so it's still thick and cover each half with a generous amount. Stick that in the freezer. Melt down a chocolate quest bar of your choice with a little bit of butter/oil and cover the 2 pretzel halves. Freeze…

Save up. I think that proper running shoes are necessary equipment. It's like "what if you want to start biking but can't afford a bike?" You save up and look for deals! Outlet stores will have older models for less expensive and sports stores like Dicks will also do clearance.

I eat out a lot, usually at places with no calories listed. I have no problems. 1. smart choices - choose a meal with components that you are familiar with and that you could estimate calories in. I also choose things that I can easily deconstruct so I can re-portion as needed. 2. self control and honesty- restaurants…

There are a ton of "normal" options that are usually vegetarian. spaghetti and red sauce ravioli cheese pizza quesadillas and bean dip bean and cheese burritos scrambled eggs and toast eggs, spinach, tomato and feta omelet bean chili with corn bread falafel and hummus pita sandwiches baked potato with baked beans and…

I eat a lot of Ostrim Jerky sticks. 80 calories, 14g of protein and just 1.5g of fat. Or, fat free milk, fat free greek yogurt and low fat cottage cheese have decent amounts of protein.

I used to do this too. It also made eating out easy because I could rearrange calories in needed. It might mean combining a meal and a snack or moving 100 from dinner to lunch etc etc. Because of how I naturally ate at that time, I was getting enough nutrients and my meals were balanced. I could then add variety as I…

I don't know how much food you need, but I'd bring essentially, an entire day. You can bring food that needs to be cold, just eat that earlier in the day before it gets a chance to get warm. Easy meals - potato, canned green beans, pre-cooked chicken (microwave and eat) hummus, spinach, sprouts, onion and bell peppers on a…

You can a lot just using your body. Bring a jump rope! When I need a quick strength workout I do something like - Jump rope 3 minutes 50 push ups 50 crunches 50 jack knifes (V ups) 50 bicycle crunches 50 mountain climbers 50 dips (use the bumper of your car or a bench) 50 squats 50 lunges Repeat 3 times

Please do! A lot of specialty running shops will do a gait analysis and then recommend shoes based on what will be best for your feet. You don't need to buy the most expensive pair, but a good pair won't be under 100$ (unless it's on sale.) I'd go in expecting to spend 150 to 180. But think of it this way - you wouldn't…

I spend about 150$, 3 times a year, on running shoes. Never skimp on buying good shoes because having bad shoes can lead to food problems, knee problems, back problems and other nagging aches and pains. Shoes start to break down on the inside first so even if you think the tread on the bottom of the shoe looks okay, it…

My friends and I occasionally do that, but we also eat at a lot of tapas or shared dish type restaurants where we are all eating a bit of everything. If this is a regular meal where you order your own plate and eat nothing of anyone else's, then tell the server when you order that you are on a separate check. The first…

How much are you exercising? Are you eating any of those exercise calories back? You might also try playing with your meal timing. If you are waiting too long between eating times and letting yourself get too hungry, you're likely to feel irritable, irrational and possibly shakey. If you are a carb- eater, then eat your…

To prep my breakfast the night before, I put a protein bar on the counter, and a can of Diet Pepsi in the fridge.

IMO, not quite worth it. Just tastes like vanilla. It basically blended in with the almond milk.

I lose at my extremities first, and then it moves toward my center last. My inner thighs, lower abs and butt are the last to go.

I dissect the item, calculate each ingredient, and then add it back together. I'd estimate wheat roll (4-5") - 270 turkey - 150 cream cheese (a nice 1/4" slab about 2/3 the size of the bread) - 150 black olives- 50 celery green pepper sunflower seeds- 50 lettuce tomato onion mayo (not heavily applied)- 100 parmesan…

Dedicate an extra 15 minutes to stretching out your body. After I strength train, my muscles are usually tight and worked up. Because of this, I'm pretty fidgety and have a hard time relaxing. Use a foam roller to roll out your body, stretch and relax. Then shower or take a bath and take some additional time to watch tv,…

Depends on what consistency you prefer. Time of set up- mushier banana, soaks up some of the flavors of the oats and protein. Day of eating - banana is as a banana is.

Cereal and cottage cheese is the bomb. I used to mix bran flakes with Corn Pops, and top with cottage cheese, chopped green apple, cinnamon and Splenda.

If you are going somewhere without a grocery store, convenience stores and restaurants, then you are not going to a big city. Also, Uber and Lyft are easy ways to get around in places you aren't familiar with. If you do take a bus to the store, you can take an Uber back so you can get more items if needed. Even budget…

Combine them under the same tab. Your eating times must be pretty close together if you are eating that many times a day. Breakfast would be everything eaten before 10am. Lunch is everything before 2pm. Dinner is everything before 8pm. And then everything after that is snacks.

My Aldi has had these for a while, like for a year. They tasted like the Kirkland protein bars, which I think taste just a little different from Quest. If I remember right, a box is about 5 dollars ( Chicago Aldi).

I don't recall anyone saying that you should... But actually, pizza and hamburgers are fairly balanced meals. Maybe a little extra veg for some micros, but nothing wrong with pizza and hamburgers. French fries are essentially carbs and fat which are still beneficial nutrients in the proper amounts. Soda, meh. Again,…

If it was higher fat, wouldn't it help keep you full longer, not shorter as many claim? The last time I ate McDonalds, I got sick too. I think they mix their meat with something else. I'm not saying chemicals or anything, but something else that changes the flavor. I always thought McDonald's had a strange sweet taste to…

I agree on the bar. A nice beer or two before a flight.... But seriously, I would never bring nuts - what if someone on the plane has a nut allergy? I would bring a protein bar, a piece of fruit, a bag of diced chicken, single serve hummus, cut of celery/peppers, hard boiled eggs or string cheese.

Ehh, there are pros and cons to both. Either way, I'd look for a gym to use elsewhere. I'd want to stay in a hotel if it included breakfast, was quiet, had fast and free wifi, a shuttle service, and was in a nice area with lots of things to do. I could always eat room service, or order food in.
