We would need more info. Age? Sex? Height? Current weight? Where did you get your BMR from? Cause if it from here most are way off. GO here http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=121703981 . It is lengthy but very informative. If you are starving you may need to look at what your eating. Make sure you are getting…

I have tried eating under 1500 calories a day thing in the past. I was eating very clean also. It was just not enough and I lost more LBM than fat. I am typing this as I eat My breakfast which includes 8 eggs, 4oz sausage, and 16oz milk. Which is around 1200 calories by itself. I am usually around 3000 calories a day, but…

We use a VitaMixer. We love and use it multiple times a day

Dietary Cholesterol – Dietary cholesterol is different than blood cholesterol. Dietary cholesterol is the cholesterol obtained from food. Only food from animal sources contains dietary cholesterol. Dietary cholesterol only has a slight effect on your total blood cholesterol level.

We are a family of 8 and eat around 12lbs of peanut butter per week. I make my own from unsalted dry roasted peanuts. I just blend in our Vita-mixer. No added anything in it. And when I do it at home there is no chance of other stuff in it. IE: BUGS. Especially since some of those processing plants are just nasty

Yer kidding right. Man 4 bucks for something I can make for about a dollar and a half or less. And I would be fuller from it too.... And I second the notion for real food. If the purpose for getting the shakeology is to build muscle, the best way is to eat food. Not processed food but good old whole food.

I use Optimum Nutrition Vanilla Custard Protein powder. It is alot more tasty then they whey.

yes you should eat yogurt. It has alot of good stuffs in it. But IMO I would only eat No fat Greek yogurt...

IMO all sodas are so processed . I have only had water for the last 6 months...

I eat 6-8 eggs over easy with a ON whey protien shake....

IMO artificial sweeteners are worse than suar itseft. I dont count the sugars from veggies/fruits. If you have hit a wall in your weight loss. You may want to up your calories a bit to get it jumpstarted again. How many calories are you eating per day??

I just made some homemade marinara sauce(sweetened with fresh pinapple), Has 1g of protien per 1/4C. Also Spinach, Broccoli, and Kale are good sources of plant based protien,

We have a Vitamixer also. We use it multiple times a day. Nothing can beat it for power. It will purify anything.

No you are still building. I would just make sure you do a good warm up. Maybe a bit of cardio before your workout, And strech properly. You may eventually get to where you no longer hurt at all for some of the time.

One of the things sodium does is make us retain water, not neccesarily gain weight.. The Gov just redeuced there recomended intake of sodium to 1500mg. I am ussually areound 1000mg daily only because of the pasta sauce that I am currently eating. Starting some time next week I will be going to a very low sodium sauce. So I…

Your protien goal is pretty high IMO. You could easily cut that by 30-50g and still be fine. My goal is around 50-70g a day. I get most from a plant based diet with cashews for the fats.

I eat for around $7 a day. And it is mostly fresh veggies, fruit, and raw cashews/nuts. My diary is open to all to look at. I eat almost the same stuff everyday with few exeptions.

I have gone to mostley eating fruits and veggies. All are fresh or frozen by me for smoothies, Taking my diary for yesterday for example it cost me under $7 to eat total. I do live in a heavily populated area that prices are rather competitive. If that amount is still a bit high per person for your family I would second…

From what I have read is that HRM's that use a chest strap are considered medical grade equipment. They are much more accurate than the wrist ones or the contacts that are on a machine.

I just did a 10k on my Octane Q47i today. It took my just under 42 minutes. Avg HR was 168. My polar said I burned 429cals. Which I feel is rather acurate. I think it would be really hard to do 15+ cal a minute. Unless you are way overweight. just my $.02

I would not classify myself as a Vegan. But for the last week I have cut out all meat and dairy. The only things that I have cooked are the occational pasta, broccoli, and carrots. And my homemade meatless sauce.

I agree. What justification is there for needing meat and eggs for breakfast. If you look at my diary I eat the same thing for breakfast everyday. It is a 20oz raw smoothie with Kale and Spinach, no artificial anything in it. bacon and eggs are high in Cholesterol, sodium, and sat fats. And no, not al sugars are the same.…

Natural sugar will keep you fuller longer than processed ones. I would just watch anything with sugar added. Completely avoid anything with HFCS(high-fructose corn syrup) and anything with artificail sugars. Keep eating fresh/frozen fruits and veggies(never canned).... Just my 2cents I avg between 90 and 150g of sugars a…

Nuts/Legumes Peanut butter with no sodium or sugars added.

Just for a bit more info if you're interested in exactly how it all works. Its down to differences in how they're processed. You have Sucrose (Normal sugar) & Fructose (Found in fruit). Sucrose is a 50-50 combination of Glucose & Fructose. Glucose is what our bodies run on, your brain, muscles etc everything is converted…

I feel if you are hungary you should eat. Now what you eat is a totaly different subject. I am almost %90 fruit/veg. I like to make whole food smoothies after I work out.

I sent you a friend request. I would really look at dropping some of the quick meal/snacks that are pre-packaged. Feel free to take a look at my diary the last few days. I have gone %80 raw no meat watsoever. I have never fealt better in my life.

What is your sodium intake on a daily basis. If you consume too much you may retain water that way also. Another thing is if you dont eat enough you body may go into starvation mode....

definatley eat something.
