Egg person here, but maybe cheese on toast? Not fried, no butter, just a lower-fat cheese melted over whole wheat bread in a toaster oven. Maybe with some low-sodium, natural ham? Or baked beans on toast, that's probably a good one. I've seen but never tried Jamie Eason's recipes for protein muffin, keep meaning to try the…

Good! And sure, of course. Sometimes though, I miss a duck cassoulet with a few glasses of burgundy, and finishing with whole whack of brie (and more wine). Or a Sunday breakfast of 3 fluffy buttermilk pancakes with butter and maple syrup and bacon on the side. I'd be lying if I said that *speaking for myself*, I haven't…

Portions, and he can add more stuff like avocados, cheese, sour cream. So many ways to add calories :/ Also protein shakes.

boobs, indian food, french food, italian food, wine, savoury pastries, beer. and pancakes every now and then. mostly boobs.

I vote no to weights, listen to your body. However, big yes to light swimming for 30-60 mins, if you have pool access, it's AMAZING for recovery. That's gotten me out of DOMS fastest, personally, like the next day I'm good to go. But not a power swim for calorie burn, really just a gentle, consistent breaststroke. Point is…

This is totally why. No one makes comments around tattoos and sex/class about men. No tattoos for me, I like to change my furniture too often. No way could I commit to a permanent symbol without worrying it might accidentally, due to my own ignorance, turn out to be a trend. (If I did get one, it might be geometric shapes…

You can also get things piece by piece at one of those fitness gear warehouse places. The one near me sells plates at eighty cents a pound to fit standard bars. If I didn't have to use a gym (need machines; can't squat or dl) I totally wouldn't. But I go to the community centre near me :)

Yeah, & done by a 3rd party (university, or government), with sufficient anonymization of info. This would yield some amazing insights (even if at the level of description or correlation), though, if it were done for a couple of decades. And I would LOVE to have this kind of data on myself.

Whoa, can't relate at all. If I'm hungry? Like, HUNGRY? Absolute last thing on my mind. Punching things and crying are way above that. (Along with wanting to eat.)

Such a good thing to do, everyone says. Might try that tonight :)

I appreciate the apology. Well, women (please don't say 'females' - really!) like sex as much as men do (not 'males' either! We're animals, it's true, but we humans have peculiar social and intellectual abilities that I think make us a little bit more). Imo the end game for both is having sex with a person you like,…

Nice! Will look into it. For sure, the on-the-go thing is where things get hairy sometimes, isn't it? merci again :)

Thank you for sharing! Will have a read :)

This is really useful, Coach, thank you - so helpful to see what a daily plan might look like. I could do that, I think! At least there's rice :) Re the breads, etc - I agree, I'm not usually into faux foods, more for aesthetic reasons than anything else. I like the idea of having my bit of rye :) Thanks again :)

Lol, I went for my last tomato & rye sandwich, great to come back to great replies! Katy_trail, I definitely love smelling awesome! Ah good, fatty fish! I do like those, sardines & herring especially (mmmm smoked herring on toast oh noes, not on toast) but don't have them anywhere near enough. Yup, like greens :) Thanks!…

Will do! Thanks :) @Glassslippers - appreciate the link :)

That's hopeful, then!! Amazing, I think I could live with that, or at least try for a bit. Thanks!

No, I haven't.. argh this is going to be hard (because, delicious rye bread is delicious). Coach, you must know of a good book or two, can you make a recommendation? edit: lol. Awesome, thank you :)

Argh, love tomatoes :frown: Thank you :)

Yes, this is what I've heard! Is there a good resource (blog/book) that's worth looking into? Glad you both feel better!

Right! I didn't know that kind of test could sort things out so quickly; working out allergens always sounds fairly complicated (like doing an exclusion diet or something). Will look into it, thank you.

The romcoms i've had to watch when visiting my mother. Anything with Jennifers Lopez or Love-Hewitt depresses me.

Lol! I would have to think about my price, but looking at the likely demographic of customers, would be after a REALLY good insurance plan

Are you flipping kidding?? I don't even know where to start.. If you can't handle ambiguity and individual differences, you're going to need a heavy dose of luck in life, is all I can say. As for expecting sex - at ALL, or as a right, because you maybe paid for some freaking garlic bread?? - absolutely, please do us and…

You might want to just read through these forums for an hour or so. That would answer most of your questions.

I've worked 3rd shift, that sucked. The people I know who've worked overnight have ALL wound up with serious sleep and mood problems. Can you find a job with normal hours? And supplement the difference in pay with a little loan?

I'm not sorry I'm not sorry I'm a feminist who :heart: s betty friedan

This. TOTALLY. The second a guy starts acting with too much forceful 'gentlemanliness', I feel myself shifting into some category of more powerless person, which I deeply resent. On a good date, I want to connect, and sharing the $ is the same as sharing the fun. Dutch, on a first date, always.

Yup, agree with everyone. We humans are mostly self-absorbed jerks. So care not. The one thing I would think, as someone who hurt herself running, is maybe "that guy should use low-impact cardio exclusively until he loses enough weight that his joints can handle jogging, or preferably not jog at all, or at the least, start…

Look, no one wants to get divorced. Everyone hopes it will work out. The woman earlier who had an idea that schools should offer classes in choosing a good partner was dead right. Some weren't lucky enough to grow up with good models of loving behaviour, and wind up throwing themselves into commitment with people they…
