I like www.eggwhitesint.com - that way, I can either drink the whites for a fast protein shake with some milk or I can use them in baking or making scrambled eggs for dinner ... whatever I want. I LOVE whole eggs but this way I don't have the mess with the yolks and it just ends up saving me time.

Check out my food log to see the stats non Lean Body by Labrada. A protein shake as a meal replacement will not make you gain weight. In fact, a protein shake is more likely to have LESS fat, calories and carbs than an average person's regular meal. Do some research and tasting and see what kind you like best. I LOVE…

I made these a few months ago... putting them in cupcake lines definitely helps keep portion sizes down!! :bigsmile: I had a GREAT pic of them but it's HUUUUUUUGE!

Go get ourself some Quinoa - it's GREAT and can be fixed in about a bajillion different ways! It's also a "complete" protein, meaning it contains all 9 essential amino acids necessary for humans (and other animals). Quinoa has a light, fluffy texture when cooked, and its mild, slightly nutty flavor makes it an alternative…

The main concept of Insanity is that you follow the trainer through the routine but you only do what you can do. As you progress, you'll be able to do more for longer, etc. Anyone can try it out, sure. Whether or not it is something you'll want to keep up with is up the the individual, just like any other workout. As far…

The terms "heavy" and "light" are deeply subjective when it comes to the fitness world -what is heavy for one person is light to another. I can kill myself with 100lb shrugs but the dude who does it next will crank out 4 set of 400lbs without missing a beat. You do what you do. Just never stop making progress.

No matter what someone says here, don't feel pressured to lift more than you're comfortable with. This is all about trial and error - lift what you think will work for you. Eventually, you may stop seeing results and you may choose to add another 10 lbs. Maybe you won't! Watch and listen to your body - do what gives you…

I aim to be counted with the best of them - Jamie Eason, Tosca Reno, Jessica Putnam, Jenna Renee, etc etc... So if these ladies say to drink a protein shake 30mins to an hour after a workout, by golly, I'm gonna do it. I'll do what they do till I get what they got! Besides, they are the pros, not me, and this is one of…

Glutamine, brother, glutamine. It helps you recover faster after a heavy session, feeds the muscles. Personally, I also like micronized creatine (pretty cheap, lasts a long time) but that's just me. One thing I definitely recommend: Fish oil. I buy the brand wal-mart sells (green and yellow bottle) and take 2-3 capsules as…

That's a big fat NO! from me. Aspartame = migraines for me, so I can't drink anything with that in it, including any crystal light type of stuff. I get drinks flavored with splenda or real sugar. I don't drink much soda anymore but when I do, I drink Dos Equis. I mean regular :blushing:

Jugie's Caribbean Tilapia! season both sides of fillets with the following: cajun seasoning (Tony Chachere's is perfect) garlic powder cilantro lemon pepper Remember, Tilapia is a light fish, it doesn't need a whole bunch of seasoning to get flavor. Just do as much as you think is good, I eyeball it. Spray skillet with…

try out both regular and low-cal gatorade instead of water. That helps me a lot. You may just need the extra bit of sugar or electrolytes.

Anything from Metallica's S&M album. Linkin Park. Also, Cotton-Eye Joe by Rednex. Don't say I never gave you variety :laugh:

BUMP!

Sounds like an awful lot of work to figure out if something is okay to fit into your calories when there's a million better options out there. Besides, isn't "cracker barrel" and "low carb" in the same phrase a little more than a bit oxymoronic? I

I brush my teeth or use some mouthwash... makes me not feel hungry. Drink some water. If you're really hungry, get a protein shake to hold you over. You may go over your cals today but not devastatingly so.

Remember it doesn't have to be all meat and protein shakes - quinoa is a great source of protein and you can pair it with fish or chicken like you would rice - cook it, mix in some veggies... that, my friend, is a badass dinner!

I am so sorry to hear about Kevlar. There's not a lot you can say about a situation like this when it comes around but for what it's worth, I am sorry and I'll be saying some extra prayers for you and ayour family.

Depends on what kind. MuscleMilk is one that I only use as a meal replacement. Lean Body by Labrada or egg whites from www.eggwhitesint.com are a couple that I use as a meal and/or snack because they're lower in calories, carbs and fat but high in protein. Basically, I drink it anytime I need some, but I pay close…

Get this instead!! Tastes exactly like banana cream pie!!! No joke, I wouldn't lie about banana cream pie.

Sugar-free peach ice cream! Might not be super awesome for you but MAN... I remember Grandaddy sneaking spoonfuls with me behind Grandmommy's back and it was always sooo yummy...

I lose equally and gain equally lol

I Loved Her First by Heartland. It's my Dad's song to me. And " Butterfly Kisses" by Bob Carlisle :sad: :sad: :sad: :sad:

CONGRATULATIONS!! Go be the beautiful girl that you are! Aim high and kick *kitten* until you get there! Don't ever give up and never stop improving yourself - I don't even know you and I am proud of you! Soar on wings like eagles, walk and not grow weary, run and not be faint!! (I don't know if you're the prayin' type but…

Line a deep (maybe a couple inches deep) baking pan with foil, toss in some chicken breasts and pour light italian dressing over them. Cover with foil, bake 20-30 mins on 450 or until there's no pink in the middle. Ta-DA! Perfectly juicy, falvorful chicken that you can put in a salad or snack on it by itself. Not too many…

Happens all the time. You can either work through it or you can take a protein shake with you to sip on - that can often boost performance, especially if you're lifting. It'd be a better idea than those special K bars anyway!

throw those suckers on the grill and go to town! YUM! Eat just the meat with whatever seasonings you like. Have a big salad with it, should be good to go.
