Set it a little higher and if you still feel like you need to lose more adjust it? If you set it too low, you may get discouraged when you should be celebrating.

Ultimate goal weight I assume.

Unless you take in more calories than you burn, then no. That is nonsense. If the protein shake causes a surplus of calories, then sure.

I really wish planet fitness wasn't so terrible with their policies. 10$ a month would be nice, but the lunk alarm? On top of that NO deadlifting? It's like they don't want fit people in the gym.

No matter what, it will have a bit of a crunch unless you overcook it to the point that it turns to noodleless mush. I cooked a big one last night at 400 degrees without cutting it in half for one hour. I did pierce the skin a few times with a fork. After an hour I cut it in half (which is much easier cooked) and scooped…

I get the gold standard ON whey natural vanilla whey. Tastes good and there are no artificial sweeteners in it.

As long as you aren't modifying your eating or exercise habits then it doesn't matter. I imagine your body has to change things up a bit when you are sick (i.e. retain water, slow down metabolism etc.) It will come back off when you kick the cold. 2 lbs of snot is a LOT lol. I am pretty sure its not that.

You are making me hungry. /drool

Yes, you really should. This helps explain why. :) http://www.chezbettay.com/pages/basics1/basics_beans1.html

That is a really good idea. Sometimes I will log stuff after I eat it and it doesn't fit my macros/calories for the day. By then of course, its too late.

I wouldn't worry about it too much. Some diets are as low as 500 a day, but they are used when extreme measures need to be taken. Personally, I think I would start eating my own hand if I was under 1000 a day :O

Are you doing any strength training? Building muscle will help increase your metabolism when at rest.

Don't let anyone discourage you. You know what works for you and it may grind others' gears, but who cares? Everyone has an opinion. For every argument out there for one weight loss philosophy, you will find an argument against it. It does go against the grain, but then again 20 years ago we were told to eat low fat diets…

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buddha%27s_hand Sorry Buddha HAND. Its pretty much all rind, but it has great aroma and flavor. You use it like a lemon zest more or less.

I am going to fashion a shiv out of a strawberry pop tart, stab someone, then make him eat it. Good bye evidence.

There are healthy cuts and unhealthy cuts.

Dang taxes. I thought you were talking about Buddha fruit when I saw the title of your thread :) BTW Buddha fruit is really good if you grate it over rice and chicken.

What is GST?

Can I repair my plaster walls with pop tarts? If so, which flavor?

To get them really sour like that, you would need to roll them in citric acid and sugar/sweetener.

1 pound of fat = 3500 kcal. You are either eating way more calories than you think, or you are putting on water weight of some sort. More than likely its nothing to worry about.

Count it and log it. Calories from veggies are still calories.

Nigiri all the way. I love tako and otoro.

I drink a protein shake for lunch every day. I recommend getting vanilla flavored as you can mix stuff in like fruit, yogurt or peanut butter. Of course you can mix it in with any flavor, but vanilla seems to be the most versatile. There is nothing magical about them, but the protein keeps me full until dinner time.

I was carrying a box out to the living room last night and my pants fell down. I had to shuffle to the table with my pants around my ankles. I guess I need to wear a belt all the time now lol.

I wouldn't worry about it too much.. Just stay away from the fried stuff. We all need to take a break sometimes!

I hardly ever eat all of my calories. I see it more as a ceiling than anything. That said, I do try to come somewhat close to it. Just don't go over your allotted amount and eat until you are full.

Ohh I about fell for the troll too.

Thank you! I always think of loose screws or something when people misspell lose. Then again maybe I am just a looser. :p While we are at it, its ridiculous. There is no "e" in ridiculous..ever.
