Lots of trial and error to figure out what works for me, lol. I do the best when I have all my work food prepped. I try not to prep more than a few days of food at a time because it doesn’t taste as good on day 4-5… which leads me to stray. If I am going away from the house, I generally pack my snacks for the day but let…

@mari_moulin I know how much I want the scale to go down so I can only imagine your frustration. Have you tried doing body measurements? It is cool to see inches lost, especially when the scale isn’t cooperating.

I use to use creamer at home but loved lattes when I was buying coffee out. I received a simple latte foamer ($10-20 variety) for my birthday. I now make lattes each morning… just milk and sometimes stevia w/a couple drops of vanilla.

For me, I find typical breakfasts are rather low in protein. I often skip breakfast foods or save them until later in the day. Large 12 oz chicken breast has 75 grams of protein. (I would split it between 2 meals) 8 oz sirloin steak has 61 grams protein 7 oz cup of Fage yogurt 20 grams protein

I am a demi beast 👊🏻

Sometimes, I have to tell myself it is ok to entertain these thoughts AFTER I eat my dinner. This method really helps me. I make much better decisions when I am not hungry. It is weird for me… sometimes I don’t recognize I am hungry but after I eat a little meal these cravings are almost always gone.

I definitely prefer to lift in the gym with all the equipment. You sound like you have a good list! Pushups w/ weighted row (from the push-up position) is a new favorite of mine. If you need to work out from home, what about doing a free online Pilates class to switch it up? What about outdoor things, like biking,…

I am on day 15 of a 70 day recomp. I am lifting 5 days a week. I am cutting calories and watching my macros. I often post my workouts and have an open diary. I welcome friends with lifting and/or macro goals.

@ha110w33nsp00k every 16 oz of water you drank is a pound. If you wanted, you could subtract the water weight.

I am eating a 1/2 of a large chicken breast and a few odds and ends like cottage cheese, peanut butter, etc. 90grams of protein adds up easily. I definitely have a modified body building diet; I still want some enjoyment! A big steak and a couple chicken breasts is probably close to 210

@mari_moulin I am averaging about 90 grams a day. I am trying to gain muscle mass and lose fat. I am scared if I don’t eat enough protein, I won’t see gains the way I want to. A guy at the gym said he is doing something like 210 grams a day. 😳

I completely get not being too restrictive. If I am too strict with my diet, I fall off of it. Eating enough protein seems to help with my appetite so I do try get in a decent amount of protein.
