sounds awesome!

Good job and even better job with the title of this thread! I giggled.

And...they taste good!

Yes it is...always makes me laugh when people (or me) say they (we) are too tired to work out. It's more like we're tired BECAUSE we haven't worked out. *begin vicious cycle*

Man...ECA (ephedrine, caff, aspirin) was the rage back in the day. Pretty sure ephedrine is an ingredient in meth production as well which is another reason it's now more controlled.

Great informative thread, thanks. I eat tuna like a madman and will start rinsing from now on!

I'm boring.... 1 scrambled egg 1 scrambled egg white 2 slices center cut bacon (crispy) 1/2 cup refried black beans If feeling crazy, will add some avocado/guacamole and maybe throw in a dab of salsa.

I like a few almonds in the afternoon myself...

easiest way to think of it is whey is "fast-acting" whereas casein is more "slow-release". whey would likely be preferred immediately following a workout so you can absorb quickly and rebuild, while casein is often recommended when your body will be without protein for an extended period of time (e.g. overnight). there are…

Be careful with that JM DVD. Some fitness professionals don't think it's all that safe. Google it. To answer the original question, have recently been introduced to kettlebell training and have really enjoyed it and the results!

Naomi's right - diet will make or break you if you want to see some definition in the midsection. From an exercise standpoint, there are plenty of exercises you can find via a web search that will help to workout the various parts of your abs/core.

Dang - I love Braum's!

I would find a good specialty running store and have your gait analyzed to understand the proper type of running shoe for your specific gait. It really is important to have the right type of shoes or you may be more vulnerable to injury. Most, if not all, of the major running shoe brands (e.g. Asics, Brooks, Nike, Saucony,…

I would count it. Personally, I usually use a 10-minute duration as cutoff for something to go in the exercise diary.

Oh I thought you were going to say something about how the site works like when you add recent food and have to use the pages to go back a few days...I really wish it was a scrolling feature instead of pages. Anyway, I agree and like any tool, it's up to each person to use it correctly.

Depending on how accurately you are counting your calories, that difference is small enough that I may err on the conservative side and go with the higher number. Now...if you ate as many pieces as I am prone to do with pizza (my nemesis food!) then maybe you should go with your estimate!

FYI - you can find good pre- and post-workout shakes and supplements much cheaper on the web. Whey protein is a great post-workout supplement. Look for "micronized" or "instantized" to find powders that mix well. Good luck!

I recently did some shopping for a pair of cross-training shoes as I was having the same issue with my running shoes. It was surprisingly hard to find a pair that I liked and fit my foot properly. Most of the brick-and-mortar sports stores in my area only carry the ugly all-white styles that seem like older folks may wear…

What's funny is that some brands of bottled water are basically tap water in a bottle anyway.

Obviously you can find a study to support pretty much anything, but this one shows that Omega-3's may play a role in weight loss: http://www.bodybuildingforyou.com/articles-submit/david-mcevoy/omega-3-weight-loss.htm

I like interval training on a cardio machine as a way to mix things up...and it has accelerated my results as well!

Well said and was noticing the same thing. Pages of men saying they like "curves" (defined however you want) and women refusing to believe it. I would say confidence is what's attractive - whether you are confident losing weight and being thin or confident as someone who carries more weight - guys will notice. It's not…

Not sure if this will answer the calorie difference question directly, but bodybuilding.com typically has good articles on supplements and reviews on products. It is important to be aware that they also sell products, but multiple brands so I tend to at least use their info as an input. I am a big whey protein supporter…

I usually split the difference and combine a whole egg with 1-2 egg equivalents from the carton - either egg whites or egg beaters. Otherwise, I find the taste of straight egg whites/beaters too bland...and of course miss out on the nutrients in the yolk!

First of all, don't consider your having a date a miracle...unless you mean it's a miracle that someone finally figured out how great you are and decided to try and get to know you better. Second of all, I'm with Jeep...minus the bridge-jumping. Do you like the guy? Do you like burgers? Then enjoy both on your date and in…

Don't stress - you should be fine however you decide to prepare it. This grain was domesticated and helping people to run through the Andes mountains over 4000 years ago! PS: I think it tastes great.

It's actually a lot of the same work you are describing - heavier on the squats and presses than the rest along with lots of jump exercises. I've also added more single-leg training a few months back and think it's really helped increase progress as well as improve hip flexibility. I am finding myself able to do more with…

If it's not too late, take everyone's advice....go to the gym AND then go out and have a few drinks. I personally would try and eat a healthy meal, but that's only because I somehow feel guilty the next day about the food, not so much about the drinks. I am not saying you should overindulge on the drinks, but talking…

As a fellow aging soccer player, I have been steadily increasing my weightlifting routine for my legs. I have noticed improved explosiveness and acceleration. Always been decent with cardio due to playing and workout regimen, but the explosiveness has been incredible...both beating players to 50/50 balls and accelerating…
