Muscletech Phase 8 is really good tasting, but I've only tried the chocolate flavor. Doesn't taste like a protien shake to me at all.

My opinion of fitness trackers are negative. Some of my friends use the gps to post maps online, so it could be beneficial to long distance trainers. No device is going to accurately tell you how many calories you actually burn in an activity. Use a combination of the scale, mirror, tape and clothes fitting method to…

From what I remember from school, sugar is sugar regardless of where it comes from.

You probably won't see any gain. I deviate up or down on maintenance a lot. I just balance out the 300 calories over day and 150 under the next 2 days. It should balance out with your base energy use. The body burns calories differently on a daily basis anyways, because your activities change daily.

Most of the models that catch my eye are slightly muscular and fit. So I would say to add 5-10 lbs of muscle to your frame to have a better chance at modeling. That seems to be the new style for models nowadays. Take a walk down the magazine rack, and you'll see almost every cover shows women that are not super thin, and…

Guy perspective: "hey there ;)" is another way of saying hello. That's pretty much it. You might be reading into it a little too much. I personally would rather use "hey there" than "hello"

Cardio sucks!

Forget personal trainers and stop reading those stupid steroid body promoted magazines. Muscles take 4-7 days to recover from a workout, and anything sooner will cause over training. I lift three days a week with one muscle group per week. Usually two exercises per body group, but always do the core lifts of deadlift,…

On the same road!

Couple of lite crackers with some peanut butter works great for curbing at bed time.

Nope, that's for the ladies. I'm a man and chopping stuff down is for firewood at a campsite :)

Congrats on quitting!!!!!!!! Being overweight is way more healthy than smoking! I'm a "clean air breather" also. Cutting down on calories is easier than quitting, just track calories and work on burning more than you take in. Good luck!

Nothing out there works or even helps...you have to take in less than you burn.

Several so called Dr shows on the matter say you can eat your calories anytime of the day, so I guess you could eat them all at supper if that's what you want. I think it also averages out over several days with my metabolism. I can completely blow my calories one weekend and stay on track pretty good with loosing weight…

Yes, 1 is too many...

I've seen people use mustard instead of mayo to make tuna salad. I'm not rushing to do it myself :)

They are just typing "bump" in the reply. They can read the post at a later date, because it shows up in your updates section of your home page. I do it from time to time for recipes I don't have time to write down right then, and it's easier to find the post again that way.

People are bumping the post for viewing later, because they can see a link to the post in their home page. Hope that helps :)

Pork Roast (go for the loin cut if you want lower fat) 1 tsp granulated garlic 1 tsp granulated onion 1/2 tsp salt 5 jalapenos whole or cut Add enough water to mostly cover the meat. (put a pretty large roast in mine, so there's more meat in the pot than water) Cook on the lowest setting for 12 hours. Turn off, and let the…

Go Pokes!!! Less than a week from away!

Do it at the same time, if you have the time to work out. People like to have the perfect moment to start something "perfectly", but that time never seems to be right now. Just jump in, and you reap the rewards.

Go Pokes here!!! Hoping they can pull the team together in football this year! Spring ball looked like we still need some work, but the new QB does have a lot of potential.

Part of it is conditioning yourself to only eat at regular meal times, if you snack all the time you are conditioning yourself to be always ready for food. Very low calorie vegetables are great to add to meals to get you fuller when you eat. I also try to stay so busy that I stop thinking about it between meals.

Now I have a question. Why are wanting to know the cooked weight, because the added weight is due to the water? Just weigh the whole dry portion to count the total calories in the batch and figure the rough percentage of the batch that you eat by volume measurment (all the pasta will swell uniform).

Healthy Lifestyle: You are making the right steps here, just keep it up. Get more healthy all-ready prepared foods if you are crunched for time, as there are quite a few options for that now a days. However, there are a lot of healthy quick and easy recipies out there. Get the most of your study time for college juggling:…

I think that it could be pretty close. It would depend on how accurately you answered the questions about your daily activity, and if you are accurately logging your deviation via the exercise logging. However, I think the calculator is just a close ballpark figure, and cannot account for your personal metabolism.

Nope!
