Weird..I was so in love with that specific yogurt lol

The Chobani has added fiber from chicory root...?

I eat quest bars frequently but it's not like I eat them and turn into a gas bomb. I know the bars have sugar alcohols in them, not just sucralose

I've been eating Greek yogurt just about every day and not many raw vegetables. I feel like the yogurt cultures should help...

Oh also, the # I've seen that you shouldn't go below maintenance cals if you don't wanna risk losing muscle is 20%. Definitely look it up...basically, at some point if you go too low into a deficit with your calories, you not only won't be able to build or strengthen your muscle but you'll start to lose muscle.

It's hard to build muscle. I'm confused about the role of carbs since much bulking info seems to say to eat a lot of carbs to help the fats and proteins build muscle. But I've been hearing more people say we have no minimum bodily requirement for carbs as we do with protein and fats. A calorie is a calorie and thus fuel…

I opened diary. On days with 500+ cals left for the day I likely ate more but didn't log cause I knew I wouldn't be very close to going over cals. Also, foods are not always grouped in the meal section I actually ate them in so a lot of meal groupings probably look super random. I don't log things I find insignificant like…

I've looked up possible reasons for it and this is what I found: -high sodium foods (but I've rarely ever had this much trouble with gas and am just now noticing the high sodium content of some foods in the house. Have switched a lot of them out since last week) -sucralose/artificial sweeteners (again, I've been consuming…

Um..my whole post refuses to post. Awkward

I did nothing this morning because I had a morning appointment with Enterprise/car shop to trade in my beaten up car for a rental :D however, I did do my counter push-ups and different types of crunches regimen that I do at home at least a couple times a week.

Bbq chips were good to me. I buy the Quest bars but can't fork up that much for protein powder. I buy my protein for 4 lbs for $34 and got a great deal last time I bought protein...8 lbs for under $60 total including tax and shipping. I'm sure Quest probably tastes better but I pay way less for what I've got so I'm…

I'm gonna start a band called Ebil Chemikillz

Oh no here we go...

Gross I'm gonna go throw up now lol

What about sit-ups lol? Why does the military make you do sit-ups if they're a waste of time?

This is the funniest thread...I was face palm at first post and like oh no, here we go. Really funny though instead of frustrating. OP is probably totally freaked out and doesn't know what's going on

I got a free whey gel at least a month ago and even carry it in my bag and haven't brought myself to eat it. I have protein shakes and bars every day though

This one might be weird but..I like Lecrae a lot. He's a Christian rapper, but he's got so much passion and he sounds angry a lot lol. I'm a big rap fan. The beats go hard usually with Lecrae...one of my favs is "Don't Waste Your Life" but he's got great ones that aren't so "Christian" like "I'm Turnt," "Apb," "I Know,"…

Wow, if only LC folks would post these studies in the main forums...what would all the haters have to say about this link?

I want diet soda...

not really, I just like eating healthy, they don't get it maybe because none of them (except for my mother) eats like I do. They even make a family drama if I prefer to skip dessert. Even my cousin who is a nutritionist starts to tell me I shouldn't be that dedicated with my diet <- are you serious?¡ - I don't get it in…

If she did have past issues with eating such as a history with puking, why on Earth would her family say things like are you gonna puke that later?? That's more mean than saying that if she doesn't have a problem!

Just cause your family doesn't get it doesn't mean she has a problem. I had a weird period of time where I was really anemic and my appetite was gone for at least half a year. It was frustrating, and my sis was like, "Are you sure you're not controlling your food cause you feel this is the one thing you can control?" Like…

Yeah but she's never puked up her food? She said she just eats healthy and said nothing about puking up food other than her family joking about it - leading me to believe she's never done that... According to the info given, her family is definitely mean.

Did you guys read what she wrote? She eats a ton of carbs and her family is like "omg you're eating carbs?" She said they don't really talk to her except to make jokes I guess. The nutritionist probably believes in eating "balanced" diets and probably doesn't track calories so she doesn't get it. Not all nutritionists…

I would try to fit in your macros and goals around what they have there. I know you really wanna stick with your plan and your food, maybe you could bring a bag with some of your food just in case you can't salvage an entire meal that's suitable from the reunion food. But I would at least try...just eat small portions of…

I haven't taken it for arthritis but I'm a big fan of omega 3 fish oil and have been taking more lately. Any idea the dosage you'll be taking? The amount of grams probably matter in relation to helping arthritis. I've read that some people improve on their arthritis symptoms with omegas. I myself have arthritic symptoms in…

Pretty sure the trans fats and bleached white flour in the donut aren't good. I'm craving the donut because chemicals=yum but give me the banana please.

I'm kinda suspicious of super high fiber intake but 33 grams isn't that big of a deal, at least not for my body.
