Beef =) I am kind of off chicken completely at the moment.

Because it depends where it comes from. If I was in America I would have a huge problem with eating meat unless I knew exactly where it was from. I do not support factory farming. In Australia on the other hand we do not have factory farming for cattle. They live their lives in paddocks until time to be taken to the…

I genuinely do! I want to understand why they feel the need to randomly inbox me saying that they think I need to stop eating meat. I want to understand why on a weight lifting forum talking about meat they need to come and say that we should eat X, Y, Z instead of meat for our protein. I want to understand why - but of…

There seem to be many living up to the stereotype - But that's where we get stereotypes from.

Yeah, I had a minor concussion (We think) that was gone by the time the doctors looked me over. I am fine now, but the two days after were a little dodgy. I went back to work for Thursday and Friday as I have just started a new job. My friends won't let me work out with them as they want me to focus on getting better. I am…

I was off work yesterday and I was going to get into the pool in my complex but my wounds kept opening up when I moved my arm. Maybe this evening after work since my wound seems to have stayed closed overnight. Due to the fact I have a head injury (Forgot to mention that) walking anywhere far from home is not an option in…

I was a sugar addict until about a year ago. It's just a matter of getting better at saying "No" I first stopped buying the sugary foods I was addicted to. I never shopped hungry. Then I began practicing saying no to the offer. Cut down on sugar in your tea bit by bit.

I used to have the same problem - I still get burger cravings like crazy some days. Some places will do a bunless burger which is healthier as the bun is not real bread. I pack my lunch for work to avoid the temptation. I live next to a Burger hero with a 24hr maccas 2 blocks down the road. I never walk near them hungry. I…

I was living in the country for the last few years and went to a local butcher for all my meaty needs. I have just moved to a city and I am still looking for the best place to get my meat. I keep missing the Farmer's markets on Saturdays. (Parking is a pain. I think I will have to take the big back pack and ride the bike…

Eggs with avocado. Seasoned with salt and pepper. Poached eggs if you are really strict on calories otherwise fried with some extra virgin olive oil or coconut oil.

I know that grass fed cattle are still fed grain, but from my understanding grass fed is better for the animal, it means they are out in the fields and not factory farmed. My other understanding is the quality of food given to your meat effects the quality of the meat. We are essentially eating what the animal has eaten.…

I think I will just eat this lot and not get another load even if it is cheap. Back to wild caught from the fish market

Because I opened it and ate a couple of portions before I was informed. I was told about it by one of my health conscious friends. I am inclined to believe them as they have been really helping me out with choosing what to eat to get the results I want.

Farmed & Grain fed. I don't eat grain fed beef or lamb. So I don't think I should be eating grain fed fish.

I love my exercise. I visit the gym three days a week. But I much prefer being outside. I ride to work as many days as I can a week and I tackle mountain bike trails between 15-20km three times a week. I have never being able to lose with just diet. I find that with exercise I get faster and better results. I also don't…

Is that you in the photo? It is really hard when you are surrounded by un-supportive people. So Welcome to My Fitness Pal. Your online support network!! If you want a friend, please add me and we can chat! I am currently working on my fitness and well being. As a by-product my shape is changing.

Depending where you are located their nutritional information should be available. In Australia most restaurants have to make the nutrition information public.

What he said. I was struggling with understanding the exact same thing. If you are eating at a deficit and doing serious weight training you will get an awesome newbie gain and then you will either maintain a slower muscle gain as your body realises it needs muscle because it keeps having to lift these heavy things all the…

Gah! I had a guy on the latpull machine at my gym eating and texting. He would do one or two reps every few minutes and then just go back to eating and texting. So frustrating. I had finished the rest of my training plan just waiting for it to become free and then still waited nearly 15 minutes when I got lucky and the…

So I spoke with my friends again today and after trying to deter me by saying "Don't worry about the science, we'll look after you." They finally told me the science... and then dumbed it down for me. The way my PT/Mentor/Friend has explained it is essentially: I can gain muscle and lose fat at the same time, it's just it…

My actual weight is up by a kilo since December. I have never weighed myself during this part of cycle before because I was always told it messes with results. But my friend thinks it would only affect my water weight which for the first time ever was on point. It was one of the ones in the nutrition shops where you jump…

OP Was blissfully asleep dreaming about a Mexican feast she had on Friday. All this debating has done my very blonde head in. To give a bit more info - when I say lifting. I mean serious lifting. I am setting my base 1 RMs at the moment. And my training plan is pretty intense. My bike riding can range from 30-70km per week…

Welcome to My Fitness Pal! This is a great place to start your weightloss journey. Like anything it will have its ups and downs and stalls. But this is a great community where there is lots of help and advice. I will warn you that you won't get coddled here, people are honest and upfront. Which is GREAT for realising where…

I should really get back into HIIT I have been mostly bike riding and that has created marvelous results all over. My hips are my only vice at the moment as they are not reducing as nicely.

Welcome!

You are singing my old song! It took me two years to kick my butt into gear and it is really just over the last 4 months that I have made any real progress. For years I would lose only to gain it all back. I would love to chat with you sometime and give some real advice that is more personal and hopefully help you out. But…

The goal of a gym is for them to make money with as few people attending as possible. The more people who actually use the machines the more they have to replace them and the more expensive the gym is to run. Exercise: Bike. That is pretty much all the exercise I do at the moment. I would also recommend body weight…

^ Yes please! While the front of my belly is flattening my hips are still covered in fat.

I accept my letter to Hogwarts =p

^ I did not say it makes you gain weight but it certainly slows down weight loss to a crawl.
