Maybe one of those new bars made with cricket powder? The one brand I know (Crickstart) contains sugar (8g) but that aside, numbers are really decent.

@heybales I appreciate the great work you did with the lenghty sticky about how to sync Fitbit and MFP and how to figure everything out. Thank you for that! I recently switched gear and I'm little bit confused about the calorie adjustment I get now. I owned a Fitbit flex for a while that was synced here, and I used a Polar…

I think I’ll take the long road for now. No gym today (was suppose to go in and at least do some cardio, but I’m feeling under the weather from a cold my oldest brought from daycare... :( ). Tomorrow is my aqua bootcamp class, so next gym day will be friday (so a full three days rest). I’ll attempt workout A on friday with…

Hi!

Hello ladies. Back to Stronglifts after a 3 years/2 kids hiatus. I’m on my 3rd week now, and I’m slowly moving up with the weights because I still feel some hyperlaxity from pregnancy number 2. Today was workout B. Warm up: 15 minutes on the elliptical then bodyweight squats and sun salute. Squat: 1 x 5 45 lbs, 1 x 5 65…

So you're eating between a total net of 450 and 700 calories a day, probably less sometimes because so need to "force yourself" to reach your 1200 calories goal, and you're wondering why you're losing weight so fast ? Eat some of those exercise calorie back. What you do in the gym is to increase your fitness level, not to…

Thanks! Tonight was Baja fish tacos night, with beer battered fresh cod, crema, avocado, cabbage, red onion and one of the fantastic hot sauce from Queen Majesty in Brooklyn (jalapeno, lime and tequila green sauce). Hubby made a strange but good chipotle flavored ceasar salad with romaine, cabbage and kale, but picture of…

@Acg67 did you use the famous Hattie B's recipe for the Nashville fried chicken ? It has been on my list for a while, but I hadn't the chance to try it yet. Looks good!

Instant ramen are deep fried, real ramen are not. I buy some really good whole wheat ramen at my local asian grocery store, and they have a good nutritional profile when eaten in reasonable amount. I use them anytime I have a deep shoyu ramen craving. Said ramen are already in the database.…

Thanks! Wedding was 10 months ago now, but with husband teaching all year, honeymooning was only doable in the summer. We had a blast, though! :) Thanks!! :) You'll probably have the chance to eat some chicken waffle in Savannah, hope you'll enjoy. Epic indeed. Drinking wine every night was amazing. (Well, actually, it was…

It's a mix of a couple of recipes, but here's what I did yesterday: - 1 brick of extra-firm tofu, cut in cubes - 1 340 g of 26-45 shrimps, shelled (it's about 250g of peeled shrimp) - (If you have some on hand, trow some cubed leftover chicken too) - 165 grams of broccoli florets (one small head without the stem) - 125…

I just found out about this challenge too. I will think about my goals and will try to do the test tomorrow, if it's ok with everyone. Also, I'm on a full bloating blast right now, so will do measurements and everything, but I'm not sure if it will be representative.

Full english breakfast this morning on the patio: bacon, blood pudding, eggs over easy and soldiers to dunk in the yolk.
