Hmm, when I did it, you had to have 5 of their pre-packaged products per day + 1 solid meal (5 & 1 program). It could be it has changed, though. My information is from quite a few years ago, admittedly.

It helped me be aware of some issues in my form (particularly vertical oscilation -- i was bounding too much) but it was originally bought for zwift, since it's the most accurate foodpod and doesn't require calibration. I feel like power based zones keep me in the right training intensity, but certainly running power isn't…

Does the app support foodpods like stryd, or does your actual pace not really matter in the app? My only experience with these sorts of apps is zwift...

I just use 0.73g/lb (1.6g/kg) using the upper end of a healthy body weight (based on bmi) instead of my current weight as my protein intake, fat should be at least 20% but not more than 35% of daily calories per day, and the rest carbs. I don't have a specific calculator I can recommend though. I think mfp defaults are…

optavia (formally medifast) has a hard time the closer people get to maintenance because you are too reliant on the products (mostly shakes) for your calories. I've used it before (when it was under medifast brand), but don't recommend. I think we prob can't talk about it here anyways, since I think it's borderline vlcd…

Maybe you could look at https://www.drmcdougall.com/health/education/recipes/mcdougall-recipes/ -- they're not all absolutely fat free, but they're extremely low in fat. They're all vegan, so if it's your preference, you could substitute some items here and there to suit your preferences.

It's individual. Some people find compressing their eating time window helps with diet adherence, others find the opposite and that they're hungry all the time. When I was doing IF, the first week was hard, but after that it got a lot easier.

I'm not sure i'd consider the calories particularly high. The bowl I usually get is 555 in the way I usually have it (bowl with brown rice, black beans, sofritas, fresh salsa, fajita veggies, green chili salsa) or 785 if I have guac. That feels like a pretty normal calorie amount for a meal to me, although to be sure you…

One of the better videos on the swing I found when I was doing S&S was actually from crossfit. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLsivjQrX9Kt-58VPsDMVLodtRX9qF9h3g It's a 5 part series (Jeff Martone). He also has a series on the TGU: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLsivjQrX9Kt8XrY6vAZTjoWzzuZ7vXZns

Other than sodium levels being a bit higher than I would prefer, I can't think of anything I routinely consume there which would give me pause.

I don't eat animal products, but this appears to be long-term correlation based on diet journal which means there will be multiple confounding variables and no causation. Generally, it's unwise to make dietary decisions based on correlation research alone. The most interesting finding was the effect seemed to be larger in…

I think she's got to want to make the change for herself. You can't do much to help other than support her if she makes that decision.

I usually drink califia vanilla almond. It's low in calories and tastes good to me. Oatmilk tastes a bit better to me, but it has no protein and more calories (around 90 per 8oz). I sometimes drink ripple and/or soy milk too, since I think the taste is fine, and it has more protein -- but almond is a more common…

I go for option c, since I don't have any medical conditions requiring I limit carbs. C) Ignore carbs since they are only a problem if they are consumed to such excess that you're getting insufficient dietary fat or protein.

I use a garmin forerunner 945 currently, but I used to use an apple watch. I feel like the garmin is a great fitness ecosystem but not a very good smart watch. Apple Watches are great smart watch, and an ... adequate fitness device. Both are great, although I know when I was using the apple watch, I wasn't always thrilled…

Here's a few sites to get some ideas from. soscuisine.com - has quite a few vegan choices youtubers: hotforfood - vegan youtuber, really tasty, but not always easy to fit in on a deficit cheaplazyvegan - simple meal ideas Quite a few of the vegan fitness 'influencers' have high protein cookbooks these days (Brian Turner,…

You don't need anything like shakeology...but if you really want a nutrient fortified shake, something like vega one is probably the closest thing to shakeology (vega one has a little more protein, but no msm), and much cheaper.

Maybe 25-30 or so

I don't think Intuitive Eating (as defined by Tribole and Resch) and counting calories can coexist, since the core belief of intuitive eating is internal hunger and satiety cues determine when and how much you eat as opposed to external rules.

Instant oatmeal doesn't necessarily have any added sugar. Instant flavored oatmeal has extra sugar. For example, the ingredients in instant unflavored oatmeal from quaker are oats, calcium carbonite (firming agent), salt, and reduced iron

Doesn't really matter. Ideally, you will have some protein every 3-5hrs or so, but you don't need to take it acutely either right before or right after a workout (although you can if you wish).

All cause mortality due in part to obesity is much higher than the consequences of weight loss (and so-called diet culture) so it seems to me like at the absolute worst, it's the lesser of two evils. Additionally, I think knowledge of how much you eat is helpful to a point. That said, I've been pretty convinced that it…

I love buffalo cauliflower bites (i've made the version from hotforfood), but they don't really have the texture I remember chicken having.

Same, but it's a neutral shoe, so wouldn't be appropriate for the op anyways. Maybe Brooks Transcend would be a reasonable choice to try out. Probably should just go to a running store and get a gait analysis, though.

Last year, mass had a good multi-part series on athletic performance on a vegan or vegetarian diet, which I thought was a reasonably balanced take on the subject. You can get all the aminos on a vegan diet (and indeed, 70/30 pea rice blends are about the same as whey). The difficult part comes in cutting (if you are aiming…

It's hard to recommend the Body+ over the Body given how bad home scale bodyfat measurement technology is, but that's the main difference. Everything else works the same. I personally would recommend the cheaper version.

I don't trust any of the micronutrient information on mfp. The thing that's usually right is calories, and everything else is sort of hit or miss (although macros tend to be right more than everything else). Not everyone cares about sodium so unless you enter it yourself, you can't rely on it. Given the limited amount of…
