I have been training for a 30 mile run and lifting strong lifts 5x5 for 4 months. my schedule changes all the time because I have little kids and a wife that works full time with a random schedule. I lift 3 days a week and Run 3 days a week, Sometimes I end up lifting in the morning before work and do a run after work. I…

Found the statement. Ok so it has little/no value as a protein but nutritionally it is still a form of energy for the body. Just one that lacks carbs and is extremely tasty.

I will have to go back and re-read once more but why would you state that it has "no nutritional value" when you already acknowledged that it has some but was just lower on the scale of being complete? Also my bag brags of it being a protein source, does not state anywhere that I can see to "not be a significant source of…

this is an odd claim, the bag I have right now ( clancy) , for 3 servings, ( 1.5 oz total) I get 24 grams of protein, 15 grams of fat and just 240 calories. ( and 0 carbs..) oh and to answer the original poster, I just eat them from the bag straight, or use them as a good sturdy high(er) protein replacment for corn chips.

soy sauce is only like 10 cal/tbs :-P

Eat sashimi and nigiri, its not that bad for you. esp the sashimi. I love me some raw scallops.

I am super impressed with your time. How long have you been running and how long did you spend training for your marathon? Im training for a 30 mile run and just did 25.6 miles on saterday and only managed an average of 5.5mph. but then Ive only been running since last july and just started training in february... so its…

Isn't it also true though that if you work them and add a bit more muscle, you don't have to go as low in body fat to have them visible? Im not claiming that you could see them at 15%, but Im more hoping that it could make the difference between seeing them at 11% vs 6%

says the guy that "only" lost 147 lbs. I jest.

cheers. I had a glass of wine to celebrate your birthday last ngiht too..... ok. lousy excuse, I just wanted a glass of wine so I had one.

This video changed my life and its pretty much all you need to do to lose weight / fat www.youtube.com/watch?v=VKs0oEIVOck

hey good luck! when you follow the program it does work, its all about "eat less move more". trust the system, be honest and accurate with your diet and exercise and you will lose.

The only Apple I have never liked are red delicious, the mealy texture is just too much. I prefer Honey crisp and a good fresh Gala.

what if you take raspberry ketones with the water....

Not to steal the thunder from this thread, but I would be pleased if any other endurance runners that come on this thread would add me as a friend just for some mental support.

I might have to track down a copy of that... I ran my first 20 mile training run on saterday and it was 40 degrees, raining and windy as hell. took me 4 hours and 15 minutes. Very depressing as I am training for a 30 mile run in 3 weeks. at this pace its going to take me all day to complete it.

Tdee around 2800 right now with endurance running. Try to eat most of that on weight lifting days and 2500I ish run days and rest days.

Ive switched to Gu-chomps and I love them. Only use when running farther than 10 miles, under that I notice no improvment. I take half a serving ( 2 chomps) every 15-20 minutes with a healthy swig of water. also, on long runs 18+ Ive been eating a pre cooked and salted russet potato around mile 9 or 10. mmmmm tasty.

saves time, don't have to stop to eat for breakfast, can work through your lunch break, and then eat a massive supper and stay within your goals. not uncommon for me to eat 2,000 between 4 pm and 9 pm.

ON caramel toffe fudge.... was ok to begin with but leaves a funky after taste and tastes odd with fruit so I resorted to mixing with just enough water to make it flow and would chug it. Market Pantry Vanilla - lumpy no matter how it is mixed and tastes cheap.

Im an awfully proud Husband right now. not even joking.

It probably means that he trusts you completely in your monogamy.

good carbs are tasty, bad carbs shoot your dog, steal your truck and molest your wives.

It might sound cliche, but my Wife is my mfp bff , because I have already attained a healthy body weight and "normal" body fat range, and now I am pushing forward with selfish egotistical goals of which could never be reached without her being flexible with her schedules to allow me to work out 5-6 days a week and eat…

I was around 210. My goal was 180, Im at 165 now and still kinda flabby...... bummer.

to over generalize this issue Overall calorie intake = weight gain or loss Macro nutrient split = body composition micro nutrient = Health

I began my running in July of 2011 at which point I could only jog for about a minute tops before I was so out of breath I couldn't do more than stumble. I pushed through the Couch to 5k program using an app on my phone for guidance. a few weeks in it got easier and I started doing each running section twice back to back.…

stronglifts 5x5 is fun and in the beginning should only take 30 minutes top a day 3 days a week, as the weights get heavier you will need more rest between sets and it will stretch out a bit more. make sure you do the pendlay rows properly ( google it). it will seem way to easy for the first 2 months. stick with it, don't…

Why was the baby ant so confused? Because his Uncle was an Ant too.... ( ant----aunt..... oh forget it...)

ditto.... except NO ROBE by the bed.... ya know, in case someone breaks in, I can scare them off ( or make them die laughing) either way I figure Im better off.
