I'll prep several days of sandwiches at once. Stick each one in an old grocery bag with some fruit, carrots/vegetables, and a yogurt. Good to go.

Oatmeal with whey protein and either frozen berries or canned pumpkin. Bran flakes with fruit and skim milk / almond milk / whatever is white and milk-like in the fridge. Greek yogurt with fruit and whey protein. And last but not least, leftovers. There's no reason that breakfast needs to be a "breakfast food".

Both. For instance, I meal prep lunch for work, particularly when I'm working a long stretch. In those cases, I'll prelog several days in a row. I'll also semi-prelog for a meal in which I know what I'm making, but know that I'll have to go back in and fiddle with the actual weight once it's all done. Otherwise, I do it as…

Not yet. It's a particular issue with my hands and feet - I have to wear much warmer gloves than previously. I've just accepted that I need to wear more layers than previously.

Interesting! I'm going to adjust the class and see what happens. Thanks!

My GW was a bit of trial and error but was primarily based on a healthy BMI, retaining/building sufficient muscle, and getting all my health/lab measures within a healthy range. More or less, I wanted to put myself into the best condition for aging well. I was fortunate that losing weight proved easier than I thought, so…

A bit of sugar-free chocolate pudding mix whipped into some plain greek yogurt helps to blunt my chocolate cravings. I imagine that using one of the low-calorie alt-milks instead would cut calories even further.

I've found it very useful, and in particular for calorie-dense stuff. Going over by 20 grams is meaningless for lettuce but much less so for peanut butter.

The gym at work is maybe slightly busier than usual, maybe an extra person or two. It helps to be a night-shifter, particularly when I go in to workout at 3 in the morning on a day off - I can pretend it's my own personal gym. :lol: Hopefully it doesn't get busier, as there's only one shower....

I've had some wild swings over the past week, most of which - given reasonably accurate logging - can be chalked up to water weight. It's not so much the calories as it is the sodium; yesterday, I was 1K under for calories (too worn out after work to eat when I got home), but had 5 grams of sodium. My trend line is…

@erjones11 I hope you're feeling better now - that's a pretty terrible reaction! I just had my first yesterday and have only had a bit of soreness. Give yourself enough time to fully recover and don't push back into things too quickly!

Mine may have filled out a bit in the past year, but not significantly. I consider it a small price well worth paying - of course, being a guy I know there are double standards, though!

I'm lucky to have a gym at work. It's also close enough to walk to on my days off, and only costs $5 a month. Nothing fancy, but it has everything I need. Previously I was spending much more for the university gym as an alumnus - the pool and other amenities were nice, but I couldn't justify that much $. I think I probably…
