Oh no not the stuffed sausage casings, I know that problem! I lovingly refer to my legs as nice meaty soccer thighs and calves. Some skinny jeans I can't get on because my calves are too big apparently. Another reason I end up wearing leggings all the time. All the room for my calves and thighs!

@FL_Hiker I usually eat 100-130 g of protein and I weight ~129 lb. But the problem I am describing happens when I'm not in my usual routine either somewhere doing a long hike or lots of sightseeing where I can only estimate protein eating out or my family tends to eat a lower protein diet, so I'm probably under.

And that is why I pass up all the storebought hard cookies and brownies at our coffee hours... Because they aren't amazing enough for the calories. The last time this happened I tried a different meal at one of my favorite restaurants... wasn't that great and had been to the gym extra for it. Really wished I used that…

I have moved over to wine particularly dry red, but I used to make champagne margaritas on weekends 2 oz, White Tequila 2 oz., Triple-Sec 1 tbsp(s), Lime juice - Raw 1 tbsp(s), Lemon juice, raw 6 oz, Brut Sparkling Wine which depending on how you are feeling came be made for 1-3 people :) (if made for 1 that is ~460…

Get some BIKE SHORTS! Especially if you aren't used to riding a bike. The first time I took a spin class I could barely sit on the seat the next class (which was two days later). So building up to being to sit on a bike seat is key The training plan that @sijomial looks good way to build up; however it makes no mention of…

Bell peppers are annoying higher in calories than I originally thought. If you only eat 1 radish a day sure skip that but more than that you should log. I have eaten ~170 calories in vegetables today

I've always had this problem; I'm now 27 but remember having it when I was backpacking or on long sight seeing days when I was younger

Except when reading up on DOMS (since I hadn't heard that acronym before) I followed the wiki citation to the actual science book it says "there is little or no discomfort at rest, the sensation of pain is elicited when mechanical stimuli such as pressure, stretching, or contraction are imposed on the affected muscle" That…

It is definitely not regular soreness. Regular soreness doesn't hurt and isn't uncomfortable for me. I've been so sore where it is hard to get up out of the chair, but only occurs when I'm using the muscle. This is a constant uncomfortableness where I notice it even sitting and not using the muscle that is aching. It also…

I definitely saw this study it was quite an interesting read

Lulus is great for dresses mostly because the online reviews are so detailed. People include their height cup size weight and measurements for what size they bought and you can sort by these! They also have tons of cute dresses. I also recently bought clothes from Showpo which I also now love. They fabric seems quite…

Would the exercise bike aggravate your plantar fasciitis? Also swimming is an option if you wanted to do cardio. You should eat a minimum of 1200 calories even if you are 5ft tall. You can look through the pages of advice on forum and 1200 is the minimum unless you are working with a Dr. Less than 1200 and you can get long…

That makes sense if the person likes rowing. I would use one at the gym to see if you enjoy it regularly before purchasing one. I've never enjoyed doing more than 10 mins of rowing because I get bored. Though it is an amazing workout.

I understand that I lived in Switzerland for a summer and Gruyere cheese is so cheap there!!!! and amazing. Also the chocolate was amazing and cheap tasty wine. And the vending machine had Kinder chocolate and mini linzer tortes.....I ate a lot of food that summer, but I did a lot of hiking just not enough to balance the…

Another vote for Insanity, it is definitely not boring. Shaun T is very motivating and you can go at your own intensity whether almost dieing on the floor gasping for air or just getting your heartrate up for an extended time. You could do the whole planned program or just pick different workouts to suit your schedule.…

If it was me, I would get beef and broccoli (my favorite dish) and eat just that and skip the rice. I have been logging long enough I know what 200g of broccoli looks like and then I would pull separate the meat to get idea of how much I want to eat and log a estimate of it. Then depending on the egg rolls I might eat one.…

sounds like a bug, unless the app on your phone and computer arent syncing correctly

This is what I do. Unfortunately it requires fixing items that are mismatched from the database... for some reasons onions always comes up wrong for me. It would be nice to be able to just save a recipe under a new name and still have the old recipe

For car trips, I pack celery and cantalope, strawberries too. Basically low calorie density food that I can snack on. Also chewing gum keeps me from cravingsall the chips and what not. However I realized I'd rather just snack on cheese and nuts in the car then have normal meals. I pull over to read or take breaks but I…

Wow according to this apparently I have giant arms😂😂?? Because I definitely can't fit my arm from knuckles to elbow in. Its more like elbow to a bit more than wrist. I am quite pear shaped because my hips usually are at least one size bigger than my waist, so I search for super super strechy shorts or ones that are quite…

Is the fist going in the waist line or just forear to elbow? Also I feel like there would be a different between high rise, mid rise and low rise too.

I log mine as Pilates and subtract out 10 mins for explaining and stretching, because the class I go to right now isn't very intense... Just like Pilates. For more intense classes where I notice my heart rate going up, I log it as calisthenics (low intensity) and also subtract out 10 minutes for talking/stretching.

Talk to your gyno if you haven't already, especially if this is a new symptom. The last time I was in so much pain from cramps that I couldn't walk was because I was in highschool and not on birth control. For me hormonal birth control solved that problem, and if you are on one perhaps start looking at another.

Logging is half the mental struggle the second part is being able to move on, stay motivated and figure out your triggers. Maybe once a week should be dumpling night for you, where you save up calories so you can eat a satisfying amount but not go overboard. Or perhaps it's due to restricting too much fatty foods , Carby…

I don't think the fitting room attendant was thrilled at the sheer number of shorts I was trying on. I don't know what my size is so first is was trying on 28-30's in womens. Then started in at the 8's of womens and went down to the 4's but couldn't find a style I liked. Finally went to the juniors and thought the size 7's…

Greek yogurt has quite a bit of protein in it. I eat a giant bowlful with berries and granola on top and the greek yogurt alone is 36g of protein for only 180 calories. Cottage cheese, goat and feat cheese, eggs, and lentils are pretty high in protein.

Tomorrow high of the day is 99° and 56% humidity!! In NY of all places :'( ! I definitely miss having AC, as atm it is 86.9 in my apartment and it only got up to 92 today Hoping to get in a walk and horse riding before 10:30 tomorrow

I had a family member see if borderline high cholesterol was diet related by letting themselves eat steak, ribs, wings and fattier meats and food for a set time period. They were even exercising more during that multimonth experiment, but their cholesterol shot up. Now they are eating healthier than before their experiment…

Get some nice crunchy granola and dump that into a bowl and put the yogurt on top Dollop some almond butter or pb , sprinkle with chocolate chips = Easy 600-700 calories snack/meal Seem like too much food cut back on the yogurt and bump up the granola

Rowing will work the quads! So you won't be giving you legs a rest if you alternate running and rowing, but it does work core and back and arms too, most of the power comes from the legs though. I know for me that if I kill it at my spinning workout on thurs, then go to my fri HIIT class where one circuit is rowing, I…
