^this is exactly the point from a macro perspective.

if you are using it purely for protein, then nothing wrong w/ just the white (you can in fact buy a bottle of just egg whites at whole foods etc). Thus if you are looking for like 4-5 whites to supplement protein, then that's the way to go, and adding the yolks will just up the fat and calories. I'm looking at this as more…

great job! so just running 3x a week and likely a cleaner diet? let's hear all the secrets of your success!! ;)

the idea of me getting to my goal is so long in the making and the goal has always been so elusive that I sadly don't have an answer to this. I do plan on throwing out all my clothes and buying new stuff, but I think that doesn't really answer the gravity of the achievement the way it deserves. buy myself an ipad?…

aren't you supposed to eat 80% of the TDEE?

that movie (even the extended trailer) really gets you pumped up to be healthy. but having experimented and researched it, I can't say the actual juicing part is for me...you could get to the same place by just eating clean and exercising (notice how little energy he has near the end....).

people are jerks in general. frankly, I consider myself a bit more evolved (and plus I am/was fat so youd' think I'd have more of a clue) but its only really recently that I've had the maturity (and ability to look past my own feelings of shame) to see fat people and think "that's right! you go man! fight for it!". And…

never heard it (maybe I'm hopeless lol)! but I wouldn't mind it at all. its a simple truth that most people look much better when they are in better shape (just see all the before and after pictures on these forums as proof). Now, that being said, it doesn't excuse whatever jerk actually said that to you, but you should…

no getting around it - it just takes time. its a bleeding pain, and on top of not feeling good about yourself (or at least as good as you think a "normal" person does) you have to also suffer through eating less and through exercising more....it can really almost feel like a prison w/o walls. but, if you can create faith…

question - so it is a fact then that if I drink so much water, I need to pee like every 15 min and I'm completely normal for this right? lol (not really joking lol)....

that's so great !

great job!

really fantastic man. a great role model example for us all.

I know the coffee bean uses milk powders to create their lattes...now that you mention it I guess it wouldn't be too different. good idea.... but isn't 1 scoop too much for 1 cup of coffee? I'd think like 1/2 scoop would be better, otherwise instead of a coffee latte, I'd think you'd have a hot coffee milk shake (thick an…

so inspiring - thank you!

i rub the bowl/mug w/ a little olive oil first so the egg doesn't stick (once it sticks, its tough to scrub out). also, I like to toast the bread. so for me that would add a minute or 2 (because english muffins take a long time to toast properly. aslo, I add hot sauce or some other condiment. trying to get it as close as…

isn't beef/turkey (or whatever) style of jerky basically a protein bar (w/ lots of salt, albeit).

I think you definitely quoted traditional thinking. So like if you eat, your metabolism shifts to deal w/ the new food and leaves its already consumed fuel idol during the interim. latest thinking is that burning calories isn't linked to eating. ie - burning calories is an all day affair, and your meal times don't effect…

i hear you - I even got in on a bet as competition and it hasn't helped much. don't go too crazy in your down period so that you don't end up gaining...try to refocus on baby steps to your lifestyle - these small healthy choices (ex. taking the stairs, parking farther away in the lot, skipping desert, etc) will build up…

saw this - I don't envy you the trolling you will get by veg-haters...good luck...

you can fairly quickly crumble them all out in a bowl of water. also, if you aren't afraid of bursting a few, then bang it around a little to lossen the seeds then cut one side and pour out.

broccoli florets. fat free ranch if you want.

i think you need to just listen to your body - sometimes my legs or another part are just screaming for rest...other days I'm mentally fatigued...in such cases it helps to change it up or rest. its a long term thing, so don't be afraid of it, but if you don't feel you need it I see no necessity.

bumping for love!

jury is out on this. I personally am good w/ splenda, and can stomach stevia-products (considered by some to be more natural, but there are studies that it has side effects) but in each case I use very little...like I use 1 small packet four times by only using a tiny bit each use...that way it gives that bare hint of…

anyone who is likewise committed can feel free to add me.

you shouldn't do anything unless you are their friend, or responding to them in a post...I think in those cases they are fair game for whatever they make public, but however you speak up (and I think you are good person for doing so), try not to be too personal or accusing as it comes off harsh on the internet. also,…

shawshank redemption

big thumbs up. it won't track weight lifting but nothing is perfect. its my constant companion.
