Posting so that this is in my history, and so I can forward it to anyone who says anything to me about doing the latest fad cleanse/detox/fast.

I'm a big fan of Bodynutrition's Trutein, goes for about $50 for a 4lb tub. The company name used to be Trunutrition Sciences but they recently rebranded to Bodynutrition, but it's the same stuff (Trutein). I have been buying the vanilla flavor for the past 2+ years and I've never been disappointed in it and I'm not tired…

Marked for later reading. Thanks for posting this.

Yep, pretty much what they all said. I don't aim for minimum calories, I aim to work out for a minimum amount of time... and this means minimizing any distractions/chatter/general other bs that might get you off task during your workout. I aim for at least 45 minutes of weight training, which according to this site under…

I can't relate at all. Recently joined an LA Fitness that is much larger and more crowded than my other smaller Anytime Fitness and I couldn't be happier. Having more people around who are also busting their *kitten* is motivating as hell, and it's awesome that it's full of people hitting the free weights and machines and…

Personally, I don't find KFC or McDonald's as filling as a healthy meal that I prepare myself, and if I'm ordering from anything other than the dollar menu at McDonald's I'm going to pay more than cooking my own food. I can buy a pack of 8 raw boneless skinless chicken breasts and 4 bags of frozen veggies and a few sweet…

This. Any time I see or hear the word "cleanse" I shake my head.

Trutein vanilla. I buy it online and it's about $54 for a 5 lb tub. Tastes awesome (like a vanilla milkshake when mixed with milk, and tastes good with just water too.) Tastes like whatever you blend it with if you want to add fruit, and if you prefer chocolate just add unsweetened cocoa powder. 120 cals with 25g protein /…

Yesterday was legs / shoulders / abs Today is Chest, biceps, abs (*kitten* workout day!) Alternating sets of the following: 4 sets barbell bench / 4 sets cable rows 3 sets incline dumbell bench / 3 sets seated dumbell curls 3 sets standing cable fly / 3 sets standing bent barbell curls 3 sets incline bench press machine /…

Desk Job here, 8am to 6pm. Having a desk job motivates me even more to get my butt in the gym every day that I can, whether it's during my lunch break or directly after work. I bring my gym clothes and water bottle along in the car, and keep a set in the trunk just in case I ever forget so that I don't have to go home…

Haven't used my crock pot in a while, always in for new recipes. Thanks!

I need to start looking for more sales on meat and figure out when certain stores normally do them and for which meats. I think I could save a lot by doing this, just need to free up some room in the already crowded freezer first!

Sounds good, will try!

The default protein goals setting for myfitnesspal very low, if you get 1g per your lbs of body weight you should be ok and a little more won't hurt you. I have my goals set for 40%protein, 30%carbs, 30% fat, and I have seen other members set that as a healthy goal as well.

Also note that the default/automatic settings on myfitnesspal are set extremely low for protein. A lot of us have adjusted it in our goals. I personally have mine set for 40%protein, 30%carbs, 30%fat. As another poster said above, about 1g per pound of your body weight is good for building muscle! I weigh about 195 and try…

MEATS! Boneless skinless chicken breasts Pork Loin VEGGIES! Bags of steamed vegetables (Birdseye Steamfresh are awesome especially the ones with brocolli, cauliflower, and carrots). Green Giant makes some good steamed veggie bags too. Eat enough of the above to feel full while not going over your calories. Careful with any…

Definitely good info here.

Vodka + Water + Lemon or Lime Vodka + Soda (carbonated water) + Lime or Lemon If you absolutely must have something fruity or sweet, I recommend the Wyler's Light or Hawaiian Punch Sugar Free Singles to Go packets in with Vodka + Water. Each packet is only 10 calories, and when I use them I manage to make about 3 drinks…

In to watch this at home later!

Protein pudding. Info and how to make it here: http://www.leangains.com/2010/09/high-protein-recipes-and-jack3d-review.html I am going to try making some for the first time tonight!

Pizza... I feel as if I could demolish a large Papa John's loaded with my favorite ingredients any time when i'm hungry. Gotta save that for cheat days I guess, as I am cutting for the first time in my life!
