Weird and pointless to you guys, delicious and low in fat to others like me :) Not advocating it as a whey substitute or a mechanism to load up on cals, just a tasty alternative ingredient for folks who like PB but without the cals. Try dipping a banana in it, wow. Loads of recipes on the website too:…

^^^ My opinion too... My cousin had been drinking diet drinks for about 20 years, the last 10 or so, exclusively diet coke, about 1.5 - 2 litres a day (about 5-7 cans, which is a lot). Last year doctors removed one of his kidneys and the grapefruit sized tumour attached to it. None of the doctors would write down the cause…

1 - For simple MPC-HT, for powerful VLC, also check out Media Centre that comes with Windows (not media player). 2 - ImgBurn, you'll never need anything else 3 - CDex All Googlable, all free, all terrific :)

Try the other scooby one and have a read of the stuff at the bottom "Reseearch Models" explaining the different equation types, might help you identify the best for you http://scoobysworkshop.com/accurate-calorie-calculator/ :)

I've done the exactly same and been totally overwhelmed with the choice. I bought a shaker bottle in the end lol! Then went on the internet where it was easier to browse and compare without feeling out of my depth! Ended up getting some ON Gold Whey (double chocolate) and some protein bars from dolphin fitness. Upped my…

Plain ones are bleurch but the honey nut are nice. And i seem to remember one of the supermarkets does them in own brand with apricot and raisins in the middle, they're fab.

Two recomedations from me.. Quaker Oats So Simple in the tub - just add hot water and munch, dead easy for the works canteen and no faffing with milk and microwaves, spoon of jam or peanut butter for added lovlinesss. Honey nut bite sive shredded wheat, pretty good numbers and keeps me full a LOT longer than weetabix.…

I do this too, but almost always when shopping while hungry so I try not to do that! Even a snack before can help, then I don't get so distracted by stuff on the way round. :)

Looks like progress from here :)

Take a look at the 2nd Scooby calculator and read the bit at the bottom of the page about the different calculations, you'll then be able to decide which is most appropriate :) http://scoobysworkshop.com/accurate-calorie-calculator/

For the what to eat question, I can't tell you what to eat but what I do is.... I'm targeting 2500 right now with ratios of 50c/30p/20f and I've found the best way for me is 3 meals, 3 snacks Breakfast is porridge with added peanut butter, sometimes a protein shake on the side Power bar snack 300-400 lunch shake in the…

Sound like it was something I posted a cuppla days ago...? http://www.onacademy.co.uk/media/customercare/protein_guide.pdf

I'm enjoying the chocolate of ON gold http://www.discount-supplements.co.uk/sports-supplements-whey-protein-optimum-nutrition-gold-standard-whey-0-91kg But Dolphin fitness is 5 quid cheaper http://www.dolphinfitness.co.uk/en/optimum-nutrition-100-whey-gold-912g/2594 Not sure if they charge delivery but I also got some…

http://scoobysworkshop.com/accurate-calorie-calculator/ Different equations to use (optional) so read the whole page before deciding.

OP - don't pay too much attention to this ^^^ I'm 320lbs, 6ft, 43%BF. I started MFP earlier in the year, taking the value given and was targeting 2040, had some good (in my eyes) losses. I've seen two separate doctors in the past month, one my regular doc, one as part of a 3 hour health assessment for work. BOTH doctors…

This makes for good reading http://www.onacademy.co.uk/media/customercare/protein_guide.pdf Specific to ON but still interesting.

I got a tub of this today.... delish and 120 cals, 24 protein per scoop Will certainly be trying other flavours.

I'm not a Morrisons regular but I do find their fruit and veg (fruit especially) is much higher quality and better value than anyone else, hadn't seen about the new range but will deffo check out, thanks for the heads up.

Yeah, think I might up a bit, current target is a bit close to K-StJ BMR, see how that goes for a couple of weeks.

Bar code is just a number, it stores no information at all, just the number. The number identifies a product (hence why it's called a UPC - Universal Product Code) What information is stored about that product is entirely dependant on what the back end database holds about that product. Doesn't matter if it's the MFP DB…

Scanning doesn't make it accurate, only identifies the product and pulls from the database. So if someone has entered incorrectly or some tool has edited it to be incorrect, you'll get that incorrect data. I had a thing scan that had carbs out by a factor of 10 today, input with wrong decimal. Yesterday, had something…

Me too! I also like the principal of keeping the tank topped up so keep snacks hand for between meals. Haven't yet met a Power Bar I didn't like, Ride Peanut Caramel being fave.

poodleaise - you've made my day! (and shamed me in to be more rigorous) Whoever entered the numbers in MFP had the carb decimal in wrong place!!! Should have been 17.1, not 171, have edited the total, feel even better about it now. (I was assuming it had some rusk/crumb in it as binder) :smile:

Just take the long web address for the pic and then put img in square brackets at the start and /img in square brackets at the end

Edited as pic fix no longer required :)

Yep, that sounds nice! Got greek yog + strawbs for later but to me that's more dessert than snack. My TDEE is is quite high at 2500 and find the bars good for mid afternoon refuel or topping up numbers in the evening. (And having something vaguely chocolatey that isn't just fat and sugar is cool!)
