Yeah glad I’m not alone- from my research protein is converted into amino acids and whatever isn’t used by the body to repair is stored in the liver and eventually you will just urinate anything your body doesn’t use just like vitamins- now of course if you’re eating a surplus of calories including protein then yeah you’re…

Interesting- I always thought the only way to put on fat is to go into a surplus of calories- I eat between 130-180 grams of protein a day and stay around 1,800- 2,000 calories. I pay zero attention to carbs or fat because honestly at a deficit where I eat literally all foods it seems fats and carbs fall into place- I do…

Great workout this m Great workout this morning check! Drive to in-laws car food check..... sitting at in-laws all day- check check.... home açaí bowl, time to shower, can’t wait to hit the beat and the gym aka my garage (stupid Covid, stupid Kate Brown) oh well... I’m actually starting to love my new home gym! New weights…

Do you mix the coke WITH the coffee? I’m intrigued

Many many years ago not to replenish glycogen then, but just to satisfy my sweet tooth and have something to look forward to at the end of the day when I first started losing weight at 230 pounds I’d go to the Jelly Belly bulk bin at the store and buy a small bag of jelly beans, just one handful and savor them. Never in my…

I seriously think you may be my long lost soul sister... it makes my heart so happy to know I’m not alone.

Swedish fish! Yaaaassss

Right?!? I feel like to some people my sugar may look like a lot, in reality it’s very minimal when you actually eat the serving size on the package. I too am pretty satisfied off fruit and Greek yogurt with a small dash of honey
-
I heard that the excess protein which is turned into amino acids will be stored in the liver and then distributed as needed (I’m not sure for how long) then anything not used just goes in the toilet, just like vitamins.... anyone know if there is truth to this?

I always forget about the “kitten” : ) sorry. The one swear word I use

@Athijade ! I have rice crisp treats as a pre-workout once or twice a week! Sometimes I add a tsp of peanut butter too
-
@MinTheKitCat carrot apple muffin! Sounds so good!
-
True- I do that more often then not when I go without for a bit; and you’re probably right @Theoldguy1 It’s just nice occasionally having the extra workout high going. Guilty pleasure. I don’t drink, smoke pot or anything- but I do enjoy a good pre-workout now and again
-
@Athijade thanks! I have Taking pictures of what I eat helps with accountability- I love a nice reference of how I got where I am and are going too!

Today felt like a pretty great day- I did forget to make roasted zucchini with dinner, so I just peeled it snd put it in dessert. BAM

Does anyone have a reliable website for this? I have been trying to figure out how to log my brisket tonight and the numbers are ALL over the place everywhere I look
-
Right, but it’s ephedra rather then ephedrine which I’m use to taking. I could give it a whirl though
-
Ugh- yeah I should’ve known and went and stocked up monthly while I could regardless if I needed it or not just to have on hand over the next couple years. I have a small amount left, but use it only a couple times a week since I only have about 20 tabs, boo, then I use DMHA once or twice a week even though it’s pretty…

Cur Current obsession. The kids cereal that mom would only occasionally buy paired with Greek yogurt or a protein shake for milk- (my daughter did the same happy dance as I did as she poured her fruity pebbles that I did 15 minutes prior that she didn’t see me do lol, good happy dances are the best!) And I’m currently…
-
But ephedrine and ephedra aren’t the same stimulants with the same punch? Have you tried both and not see a difference?
-
Right I know that- but I just mean to see how MFP sets them up from the get go. So for 1.5 pounds a week at my stats and active it gave me 1,600 calories at one set up. For active and 80 minutes of exercise at .5 weight loss it gives me 2,217 which is a big difference. Which is why I thought it already took into account…

Thanks everyone, and thank you Jomial for your thoughtful replies. You definitely seem to be someone that people can learn from. And I always want to be somebody open to learning when it comes to health and fitness. As long as it scientific-based and not some “get fit quick gimmick” It’s unfortunate that it seems my…

I mean it doesn’t matter- We can talk theory all day. Theory is nothing without results. I eat around 1,800-2,000 a day as I need to and feel satisfied and happy eating literally all food groups, my protein is between 130-180 on average. I workout not to eat more and burn calories but to feel strong and have lots of…
-
Okay gotcha! I’m 173 pound female at 5 foot 6 and put in workout 6 days a week 80 minutes a day to get that number- YES I double checked it said female! I typically do 60-80 minutes of accelerated cardio/ weight training 5 days a week; I learned this technique from Jim Stoppani and fell in love- one day a week just low…
-
It also tells me to eat 2,217 calories a day! For .5 weight loss a week I would definitely say I wouldn’t eat back! It would tell me to eat 3,000 a day. Uhhhhh wouldn’t get anywhere with that ???
-
Really sure seems like one to me- it asks daily tasks AND exercise just like any other TDEE calculator
-
Yeah, it's annoying because MFP definitely grants you wayyyy too many calories for activity, and it's a premium / paid feature to turn this off and stick with the same calories number every day. [/quote] Stargazer right? I mean it’s no HUGE deal you can see how many you’ve eaten so that’s the biggest thing. Some people…

Right!?! Absolutely I love curry! I eat chicken regularly- I love veggies; don’t misunderstand- but FFF can people stop with a plate of egg whites and veggies for breakfast, and stop with nothing but plain fish and chicken on the side with a huge plate of veggies- sure sometimes that’s great! With the right seasoning of…
