I’ve eaten this the last two weeks and will be making again when the current batch runs out. You could make this lower cal by removing the skin as well. I boil the entire chicken in the soup powder (it’s an Asian type powder but you could do with no or just seasonings such as garlic, ginger, lemon grass etc) with mushrooms…

Welcome to the gun show! 💪💪 your arms/shoulders look AMAZING... great work!!

..... 😳 yoghurt and hummus?!

It’s called the dawn phenomenon - known physiological response to noradrenaline, adrenaline and cortisol spike (same stuff for fight or flight) that encourages you to go from sleeping to wakeful. Lots of people get it, particularly diabetics My understanding is that limiting carbs, adjusting the TIMING of medication…

Honestly.. the only thing that works is preplanning I have the below type of plan through to the end of November (waiting on shift confirmation for Dec) - some days I miss the gym (if I’ve had 2 hours sleep, yesterday because I have a head cold and was scared I might break my neck if I sneezed with 100kg on my shoulders…

Oh and most express shops seem to have carb killa protein bars (my personal fav but go woth whatever suits you obv) which are a quick and dirty 20gm protein ;)

Tesco’s, m&s etc all have little chicken skewers and prawns with dip as snacks in the ‘lunch’ sections (over with the meal deals) - or there are trays of chicken slices etc in the cooked meats cold section. Quick and easy dinner could be the salad deal type things from Tesco’s - I know they do one with a protein, salad and…

Boiled egg, babybel, dark choc square, mini chicken skewer, prawns (with/without dip), a few nuts, mini quiche, vege sticks and dip, green salad with small amount of meat or cheese, berries and whipped cream, deli meats, olives, pickles and cheese, a sausage, cauliflower mash and cheese, pig in a blanket... options are…

Or wash the sand off 😂😂

Or this :-) whatever works for you. You’d maybe still need to change your stats by the sound of it though.... generally speaking if MFP is recommending 1200cal you may not be able to lose weight at the rate you’re hoping - if you look at the below someone with those stats is still ‘overweight’ (BMI 26.62) and to lose 2lb a…

Because it matters what you do over time not on a single day I would do the following: Work out your TDEE (or do as sedentary and then add purposeful exercise calories - most people do 50-75% of calories ‘burned’ due to inaccuracies of burn calculators) TDEE x7 = maintenance calories Maintenance calories -6000 (1200 x 5…

Wa-water?... you mean the stuff you mix with the black stuff to make delicious coffee right? ;) (But you’re right I drink litres of water on shift)

(Sorry for the novel lol) I work 12hr shifts and try to arrange as follows. (It’s worth noting I sleep poorly, particularly between nights so am usually awake for anything from 18-22 hours of the day) I carb and calorie cycle for energy for my gymming which makes it marginally more complicated. But what works for me and…

I do find it fairly time consuming, I bulk buy and bulk cook so I order meat online every month or two and will cook large amounts at once to keep me going a few days - so will cook 6x200gm stuffed chicken breasts, plus some meatballs in the oven at the same time, plus maybe while I’m waiting cook up something on the stove…

Very cute dresses as well ❤️

Those scales are definitely wonky - no way can you possibly be gaining or dropping 10% body fat in a week esp if maintaining the same weight. In regard to actual weight loss I’d keep doing what you’re doing - I’ve just worked out your TDEE at 154kg and using some middle of the road numbers for height and age and your TDEE…

If you’re drinking the full sugar stuff then yes, it probably is stopping you losing weight. 20oz of Dr Pepper is 250 cal - 3 bottles a day minimum = 750cal.. that’s half of my daily calories :o options for cutting it back or stopping 1. Cold turkey (although, this doesn’t seem to be working) 2. Switch to diet Dr Pepper -…

Am amazed you can find 21lbs to lose with 24.5% body fat! You’ll be a ripped machine! Sound like everything is working amazingly for you - Great job 💪

Are you symptomatic of a UTI? Dipstick testing is really going out of fashion (medically speaking) for confirming uti for a number of reasons. First off - they just show that there is bacteria - that bacteria could be normal vaginal bacteria, bacteria from bacterial vaginosis or from within the urine itself - unless you…

Oh noooo :( - do levi still make them? Not quite the same though with new ones is it? The only reason I kept this dress is that it’s a Karen Millen so cost far too much when I bought it :#

Not only can you live a more active life with your family you’ve almost certainly increased the length of time you’ll have with your beautiful children! What an inspiration! Keep on keeping on!

I’m doing macro and calorie cycling in line with my workouts - I’m a little stalled atm scale-wise but am definitely losing fat and cm (which really is what I care about more than the number on the scale). I also suspect my glycogen stores are all filled up so if I cut carbs again (gonna do 3 days low carb as I’m away 4…

I fit into my dragon dress!!! I’ve been carrying this dress around multiple countries I’ve lived in for a LONG time lol - I’ve been doing lots of weights so it actually looks slightly better than it originally did on when I bought it 6 years ago despite the fact that I’m currently 10kg heavier (the importance of muscle…

Swap pasta for shiritaki noodles if she likes them, Cheese go for a slightly lower calorie version (I’m a cheese fiend so have to do this too lol) Cauliflower rice with curry will save some calories Reduce portions of garlic pizza or musclefood does a low cal garlic bread pizza thing (I’m assuming you’re UK based on you…

Maybe base it in what she normally eats and swapping out ingredients for lower cal options or reducing portion sizes? What are normal meals in your house?

M&S do a 100% cocoa chocolate block (it’s really unpleasant to eat alone... and I LOVE 90%... not sure why the 10% makes so much difference)

If it’s a full prawn (head, tail, shell) then it wouldn’t surprise me - I’m always slightly disappointed by how little meat is in one when I deshell it - you might find that they’re much smaller prawns than the others :-) will be interested to hear how you get on x

Thanks lovely - I’ve yet to hit my carb target on lifting days (mine is around 250) I’ve been under 200 every day - although I’m still using products like shiritaki noodles and cauliflower rice to maximise my food intake (plus cooking for one it’s easier to be able to spread meals across two days regardless of carb intake)…

Weight loss doesn’t happen in a straight line. Just keep on with what you’re doing as it’s obviously working for you well, I’ve attached my progress chart (which isn’t actually how it’s been as I only track new low weights I don’t track when it jumps back up a couple of lbs) if you changed my straight lines to ^^^^^^^ it…

:D That would be quite the look @RelCanonical
