I have an approach s60 gold watch. It has all the exercise “apps” but doesn’t use a heart rate monitor to calculate calories burned.

Love the DOMS

5g per day is sufficient. I only take 3g per day since there is some in my pre-workout.

I make sweet potato brownies for my breakfast/post workout snack. 0.50 cup, Organic Whole Grain Quinoa Flour 1/2 cup 2 eggs 3 Egg Whites 1/3 cup Honey 261.00 g, Zucchini 543.00 g, Sweet potato 1 scoop (41g), Phase 8 Vanilla 24 grams, Mighty Nut Powdered Peanut Butter I cook them in the little loaf pans, so they're bigger…

Do vegans eat eggs?

No, but I did pack a tofu lunch today

Thank you

These wings seem very difficult & confusing to log. So basically if I cook 10 ounces of raw wings and it comes out to 8 ounces, those 8 ounces (including bones) are responsible for 625 calories. Each ounce would be 78.125 cal (625/8) After eating the meat off of the bones, I would reweigh the bones (2 ounces for example)…

Ok. Say I eat 8oz cooked. is that 500 calories?

Looks like Acesulfame K is just as bad as Aspartame. So depressing trying to find a good tasting drink that is low in calories/sugar that isn't filled with crazy ingredients.

Same here. I tried drinking the Coke zero's and 0 calorie soda's, but now I'm trying to get off of those due to the aspartame. My new go to is Mt. Dew Kickstart @ 80 calories for 16oz

Are you on any meds that retain water? How's your sodium intake? These are things that messed up lost wight for me

Time is a premium, so I need to choose one or the other. I have 1 hour during lunch where I get to the gym, so I need to choose to lift or run. After work "me" time is not an option.

I lift heavy 5 days a week now, but was debating lifting 3 days and doing some treadmill action 2 days. Not sure if it will help or hinder my weight loss goals. Ok - which is more effective at burning calories.

I figured I'd get this answer. Specifically, which is better for losing weight?

I don't mind weighing raw (or frozen), its the tallying up the total calories once cooked that is confusing to me

Thanks for the tip about the * So about 375 calories for 8oz og cooked chicken? Also, I bake mine, would that be = to roasting? For future reference, what would be the best way to search for a specific food? I would have never thought to type in Chicken - Breast, meat only, cooked, roasted

So I tried using the USDA database and came to this page( http://ndb.nal.usda.gov/ndb/foods/show/857?fg=&format=&offset=&sort= ) which confuses me. Would the way I posted in the original post work?

I use a smart shake bottle. I used to use the blender bottle until my son took control of the blender "ball" that goes in it. I found that the smart shaker actually works better than the blender bottle.

Thanks. Will try 2000 and see how that goes. And to usmcmp, I'll attempt to log everything, including my cheat days!

I weigh my PB by laying the slice of bread on the scale and spreading 32g of PB on it. Then I drizzle 10g of honey ontop of that and spread it with a knife. How is that not measuring>? Some of the restaurant logs are because I couldn't find anything else to put in. For example, the KFC was actually a charity grilled…

It does, but those water gains should have stopped after a few weeks.

They're not that bad. Since I'm on a cut, my cheat meal is just a larger portion of my regular meal. So instead of 1 hamburger, I'll have 2 or 3. Throw in a bowl of ice cream and that's about it.

I weigh everything on a digital scale. I do have cheat meals once a week, typically on a Saturday evening. I don't eat back exercise calories.

Creatine was loaded 9 weeks ago

Yes I lost 7 pounds, but I also lost 7 pounds in the first week which I attribute to water weight. I can't really see a difference in the mirror and I haven't had to tighten my belt anymore, so I don't know what is going on. I can't wrap my head around a 2300 calorie TDEE when lifting heavy 4 days a week.

Steroids are bad

Phase 8 has some good flavors. Currently I'm using MusclePharm Cinnamon roll which is also good. I usually drink it straight with water, but do mix it in with oats or make protein pancakes.

Slow down with the responses!!! Here is one I made last night, found the majority of it on another site (http://dhftns.com/cinnamon-roll-protein-oatmeal-proats-recipe-low-sugarhigh-fiber/) 405 cal 44 carbs 11 fat 34 proteinz Muscle Pharm Combat Powder - Cinnamon Bun, 1 Scoop Rutters - 1% Low Fat Milk, 0.5 cup Oatmeal - Old…

No disrespect, but no one cares about what you're doing in the gym.
