  • pre-packaged foods will probably keep your carbs higher, especially with sugar. Carbs aren't going to keep you full, that what the fat will do. Maybe you can add fat to your pre-packaged food?
  • For me sardines are a staple, the most important thing I figured out was that you need to find the right brand, because they don't all taste the same. I had to choke down a few as well to find the right one, I've also found that even with the same brand the steaks taste different from the whole ones, go figure. I just add…
  • Each school is different, NCAA division 1 to division 3 will have faster times than schools who are not in those divisions. look at the schools you want to go to and check out their cross country team page and see what times they are running. You can search online for a training plan that you like, runnersworld.com usually…
  • all excellent suggestions. in terms of the shoe its usually good to go at least a half size up feet can swollen during a workout, specially if you're not use to it. but you should check with a doctor.
  • Agree for the most part with Taunto. However in reality pain can have both pain and soreness, and most often pain leads to soreness. It is important to know the distinction between the two, so you don't hurt yourself further. Pain is usually a stabbing or jabbing feeling, and usual signifies that something is wrong, if it…
  • aim for 20-30 grams of sugar, which mostly comes from fruit and natural sources, I don't use sugar or sugar substitutes.
  • I have a metal flask that holds around 20 oz and I just shake up mix in it and it's good to go.
  • yes, one way or another you must have a deficit to lose weight, whether it's cutting cals, excising or both. but you need to find your starting point (BMR) before you can know how much to cut!
  • My doctor prescribed it for migraines but I never took it, I don't have migraines frequently so why should have to start taking something on a daily basis? She did tell me it would help with my weight loss, but I decided in the end not to take because of the possible side effects such as seizures and I don't like taking…

  • Hi Welcome to the site, you can add me if you like. Good Luck!
  • Bleeding is not the first sign of menstruation, the process starts before you actually see any bleeding. One possibility is that it could be low iron, because you're losing iron. I've had that problem in the past,(cycle was actually shorter during that time, like 2 days and light), I would be constantly on the verge of…
  • the website only gives you a limited number of nutrition areas you can track ie. carbs, sugar, fiber etc, but the app shows you everything (not everything but a lot more than the website), some vitamins, sodium, cholestrol etc. I actually prefer to use the app
  • Odd indeed, in one post they say they eat 2000-2300 cals, another post 1300 cals and today a min of 4000 cals. This member is very suspect!
  • Approximatly 1 gram carbs = 4 calories 1,000g carbs=4,000 calories are you sure that's how much you should be eating? For me I am now eating low carb around 50-80 grams a day but it all depends on how much I workout or how I feel. Some days I crave more and I eat more around 200-300. 1,000 would be probably too filling for…
  • I think you probably need to be more detailed to receive better advice, ie. current weight, goal weight, approx amount of cals that you're eating etc. That said, you seem to workout quite a bit, you need to eat enough to support this. Also you can use your gym time wisely by lift weights and doing interval training. Hope…
  • Good post!

  • you need to use colons : not period . for the time 1:00:00
  • but at the end of the day both toes still hurt! just saying...
  • As long as you keep moving it's all good! "Exercise Exercise is a form of physical activity that is planned, structured and done to improve at least one aspect of physical fitness that is, strength, flexibility or aerobic endurance. Examples of common exercise directions include the following: Do whole body resistance…
  • Most people probably didn't get the apology, I skipped from 1 to 5. Whatever you eat whether vegan, fruitarian, paleo or whatever noone would like to hear food they like being called "garbage" even if it is. It's just not nice, but then again this is the world we live in. I'm pretty sure that was not OP's intention, but at…
  • think she talking about intermittent fasting (IF) the variant of fasting for 16 hours and feed for 8hrs I've tried it before and doing it again now, I'm starting with 14:10 and working my way down to 16:8 its not hard to do you just have to be prepared to ensure you stick within the time. It actually fits with my lifestyle.
  • usually black with zero calorie sweetener, but as of today I add nothing, going off sugar and sugar substitute. used to add cinnamon before, might try that again or maybe flavored coffee but I would have to research and see how the flavoring is done.
  • My thoughts: Unless you have been running as much as you are planning the next 2 weeks I would not recommend that you start doing that much now, too much stress on the body too soon significantly increases your chance of injury. Intervals are "one of" the fastest ways to increase your speed so that's a good idea, just…
  • ^^ agreed, Lactic acid should get better with working out not worse, so also ensure that you are well hydrated. and maybe slow down your progress a little until the situation gets better.
  • I find eating within 1/2 an hour after lifting or long workout helps tremendously with hunger issues. As well as ensuring I have enough protein and carbs, usually the heaviest meal of the day.
  • whenever I wake up, whatever time that is. Sometimes I'm up till 3 am and get up at 12n, that's my day start at 12n end at 3am if I'm still eating.
  • online calculators aren't going to be very helpful, with mine they say my body-fat is 25 % but that is not even close. I use a scale that calculates body-fat which is fairly accurate, definitely better than the internet. Paid $50 at walmart. There are other methods you can use to calculate, formulas, but I can't bother…
  • ^^^ I would never charge either of my parents rent. If I was having difficulties paying for utilities and stuff like that and they wanted to contribute while living with me, sure they could, but I would not charge. They scarified too much for me to do that.
  • me, me, me I'm on day 12 of my own 90 day challenge. 1/2 mile jog- 5:25 mins
  • Yes please! this will fall in nicely with my 90 day challenge I started last night. I plan to workout everyday increase strength training watch my calorie in-take diligently I've also gone mostly organic, especially for fruits Reduce process foods to a minimum I should probably try to get more sleep, but we'll see
