  • If it's coming from fruits, I wouldn't worry about it as long as you're only having a few pieces a day. It's the refined sugar that you should limit.
  • Greek yogurt is awesome and has a good amount of protein and don't forget the cottage cheese! Edamame ain't bad either.

  • I use Optimum Nutrition Chocolate Malt, to me it's one of the better tasting chocolate flavors, especially in milk. If you haven't tried any ON flavors before they sell a variety pack with 16 flavors. It helped me decide which flavor to buy and which to avoid.
  • Not misquoted actually, though what I should have said was 'many weightlifters' go by the rule of 1g per lb for women and 1-2g per pound for men. It is not an excessive amount, high protein diets are effective for fat loss and are in fact healthy. Personally I eat over my weight in grams of protein following a cutting diet…

  • I had an awesome breakfast today, higher in calories but they were all good: 2 slices wheat bread, one with 1tbs of almond butter and 1/2 sliced apple on top + cinnamon, the other with 1tbs natural pb + few banana slices, and a scoop of chocolate malt protein powder in a cup of cold coffee. On most days my breakfasts…
  • I got my f6 new off ebay for 80 something dollars, probably cheapest this way. As long as it's new it'll come with a chest strap, just make sure to get the correct size in womens.
  • Including protein with your meals will help keep you satisfied longer. How much you need varies from person to person, you will want more protein if your lifting weights or doing hard workouts, as it helps with recovery and muscle maintenance, muscle is very important for fat loss- the more muscle you have, the more…

  • usually it's scrambled eggs - 1 whole 2 whites, with a cup of coleslaw or cabbage thrown in and some lean Canadian bacon. or piece of toast or kashi waffle slathered with natural pb and 1/2 sliced banana or pb, chocolate whey, oatmeal
  • Awesome, great job!
  • Just wondering, I got some of these and thought they were a pretty good alternative to chips. Tastes good with salsa too. Soy Crisps Deep Sea Salted: 1 serving = 17 crisps Calories= 100 Fat= 2g Carbs= 15g Fiber= 2g Sugars= 0g Protein= 8g I mostly picked em up for a pre-workout snack that I can eat in class whenever I don't…
  • You should ask these people your keto questions, they all use the diet and know the methods + there's recipes and such: http://forum.bodybuilding.com/forumdisplay.php?f=61
  • Not too often, maybe once a week or two, right after waking up in the morning. The scale can demotivate you if used to often and seeing it fluctuate due to water weight. Best thing to do IMO is use the measuring tape to see the inches lost.
  • In your PB you only want the ingredients to be peanuts, or peanuts and salt. Personally I like Smucker's Natural Creamy Peanut Butter, more peanutty, less sugary.
  • haha true. Out of that, all I would be eating is the serving of chilly, apple, and some veggies
  • Whey powder Greek yogurt also has a lot of protein, tastes a bit sour though so might want to mix it with something.
  • I use Optimum Nutrition Extreme Milk Chocolate. ON also has a variety pack with 16 of their flavors to try, I'm thinking about buying it next to find the one I like the best and one that my mom will like too. There's a lot of options for whey, vanilla goes pretty good with most things. I mix mine with oatmeal, cottage…
  • Milk Chocolate Whey Vanilla Whey Turkey Chicken Fish - Tuna/Tilapia/Shrimp Egg Whites Greek Yogurt Fat Free Cottage Cheese
  • Warmed apple chunks is better than apple sauce IMO! I think it's perfect for staving off fatty desserts.
  • Awesome! I was contemplating on buying this same model. Thanks for making this thread, now I'm sold. Can't wait to get it!

  • Yeah she is trying to lose. I'm not sure how many lbs her MFP is set for/week. I'm just confused because most other calorie calculators come out with a higher calorie intake per day For example according to the Harris Benedict formula her stats come out like this: Maintenance: 2060 Calories/day Fat Loss: 1648 Calories/day…
  • How many calories should someone consume with these stats? Age: 51 Height: 5'5 Weight: approx 158 Asking for my mom, MFP put her at 1300 cal, but I think she should be eating more. Her exercise mostly includes walking 30 min most days of the week.
  • Have you been doing weight training? It is the second most important component to fat loss. 1st is diet.
  • It's definitely ok to have a higher protein intake! (You can adjust your macro-nutrient percentages through your goals as well, in case you didn't know) If you're into weight lifting it's recommended to have at least 1g of protein for every 1lb of your body weight. Your nutrient distribution really depends on what kind of…

  • Level of importance: Diet > Weight Training > Cardio, in that order!
  • Some foods I like: 1tbs natural peanut butter and 1/2 sliced banana on a slice of whole wheat bread! Chopped apple, (easy baked in microwave), sprinkled with cinnamon and stuffed in a whole wheat pita, topped on a waffle, or tossed in some oatmeal.
