If nobody ate it, they wouldn't sell it. There are plenty of people out there who will eat anything that claims to be "healthy, low calorie, fat free, natural, organic, taste-free cardboard" or whatever. If you like it, eat it. Personally, I don't trust the brand and don't purchase.

Garbanzo bean patties (whole foods) Ostrim beef jerky

The Hamilton Soundtrack- Satisfied.

You could start telling people it's a new albino strand called honey oats, top notch and fresh grown.

If you want an actual bun, buy a regular bag of buns and scoop out the fluff from the top part and the bottom part. You can do the same thing with sandwich rolls (like the kind Subway or Potbelly uses) and you can usually cut out 1/3 of the calories. Weigh the bread before, scoop out, and then weigh it after to figure out…

Nothing at all wrong with pasta. And, you can do a lot to make it more filling. Say you do 200 calories of noodles. Saute in 1/2 tbsp of oil - a bag of spinach, 1/2 red pepper, red onion, and 1 big carrot with fresh chopped garlic, oregano, salt, pepper and a can of tomato paste. This will make a nice chunky sauce that…

Ease into it. Switching from all liquids to solids is going to be rough if you do it suddenly. Also, your body hasn't had to digest meat or vegetables for a while which might lead to some discomfort. Try starting with 1 meal, probably breakfast will be easiest. Soylent is 400 cals/ serving right? If you want a breakfast…

Eggs and beef jerky are my go to ideas. A hardboiled egg doesn't take long to eat and it's an excellent balance of protein and fat. I also like the Ostrim or Chef's Cut beef jerky sticks. A high protein, quick and easy meal could be 2 hard boiled eggs (140 cals, 12g of protein) , 1 beef jerky stick ( 100 cals, 14 g…

Know that regular milk has more calories than almond milk. If you are tracking calories in recipes, make sure to adjust them for the swap.

I miss flame broiler! I used to eat there all the time after school. And yes, very good options there. Too bad there aren't any where I live now.

I got a weighted blanket about a month ago. It's absolutely amazing. I was averaging about 3 hours a night. Now I'm regularly getting about 6 hours of solid sleep.

I love my club. It's about 150 a month but worth it. The big benefits for me - tons of equipment, regularly getting new equipment, a lot of space for workouts and never overcrowded, amazing personal training staff, friendly and welcoming environment, towel service, stocked toiletries, private over night lockers, laundry…

I agree that it's about the levels of demand, especially with a brand that is a little more expensive. People who are looking to lose weight probably won't invest as much in their workout clothes since they are expecting to shrink out of them. However, multiple time triathlete who needs performance bike shorts that they…

Your logging is off. Things like honey, alfredo, hummus and feta add up quick if not properly weighed. For example, 1 tablespoon of honey is about 65 calories. If you are as generous with your alfredo and hummus as you are with your honey, then that is a lot of calories just in sauces. To coat 2 cups of pasta plus…

Eat more earlier then. If you'd rather only have a 400 calorie snack at night, then spread the remaining 700 or so calories out. That's a glass of milk (200 cals) at breakfast, 2 hardboiled eggs at lunch (160), and a chocolate bar in the middle of the day (240)

Eggs are great. I can eat 6 whole eggs in a day. And yes, the whole egg. I don't eat many other fats, so eggs are a good source for me. Would you eat cottage cheese or beans for a protein source?

@hgycta - ^^ none of those are low calorie pints. Vice is pretty good, but I like Ben and Jerry's better, something about the flavor in Ben and Jerry's comes through more. But, Vice has some interesting mix-in combos that I haven't seen other brands do. Breakfast in Bed was yummy. Jeni's is amazing- super dense and rich.…

Interesting idea. My family and I have looked at a lot of our old eating habits when I was in in-patient for an eating disorder. The good- high quality food and a lot of variety no shortage of food in the house the not so good- no one in my house cooked - almost all of our meals came from a restaurant. (hence the high…

You can likely order away from the exact menu too. I usually order a vegetable side (broccoli, mixed veg, asparagus, etc) and ask for a piece of chicken, like what they would add to a salad. This leaves room for a beer and I know the portion won't be massive.

Pre- workout is essentially caffeine. I have never seen a high calorie, dairy pre-workout though (besides a Starbucks Frapp) so I'm not sure what products you're looking at. It shouldn't hinder your weight loss as it's only about 10 cals a serving. C4 is pretty popular and it tastes decent. Be careful with the dosage…

Whenever I replace my running shoes, I expect to spend 150 - 200 for a new pair. I exclusively run in Nike because they are the only brand I have found that has a cushioned toe and a light heel. I run on my toes/ balls of my feet so I don't want a heavy or clunky heel.

It's only 6 miles. There is no need to "carb load" for a 10k . Really, you shouldn't have to eat a special way while training for one either since your training runs will be short. I like to eat before I run. A protein bar and some caffeine work well.

In my opinion, clean eating correlates with the amount of additives that are not naturally found in the product, cannot be found in nature in that form, and are added by humans/factory. It has nothing to do with "processing" or altering the state of the ingredient. It also has nothing to do with sugar or fat. For example,…

What about just coffee with milk? Or a couple pieces of bacon or a microwave breakfast sausage?

Unless there is a health reason, your kiddos don't need low cal lunches. They need nutritious and yummy and balanced lunches. You can do kebabs - chicken, cheese, tomato and pickle. Send them with some pita bread or some pasta salad. Homemade chicken salad - diced chicken, light mayo/greek yogurt, seasoning, celery and…

I have to remember to eat. I often let my work or my social life come first and I just forget to eat a meal which isn't doing much for my current goals. I also rarely eat fully balanced meals with proper portions. I don't have much of a taste for starches and have to make an effort to include one and even more of an effort…

When I want new things, I go to a different grocery store. It's a big bonus if they have a large international section. There are lots of interesting things like sauces (indian curry, thai curry, sweet and sour, enchilada sauce, pesto, tapenade) and seasonings that you could easily use with a different recipe.

Start with an ice-cream and whole milk base. Add a scoop or 2 of protein powder and any other mix ins that he'll like. I've actually put hard boiled eggs in a smoothie before and I couldn't taste them in there. You could also blend in cottage cheese for additional protein and it'll be masked by the ice-cream and any fruit…

I 100% agree that you need a program. Also remember that definition in a product of low body fat. You'll need to lose weight in order for the muscle to show through. I'd suggest running a slight deficit ( about 250 cals below TDEE) while you go though the lifting program.
