I think of my consumption of coffee as a public service. After having at least two cups every day for over 40 years, to paraphrase Dr. Bruce Banner "You don't want to make me decaffeinated. You won't like me when I'm decaffeinated".

First off, welcome. Great first post. You'll find lots of supportive folks around here.

As well you should be! Amazing work.

:grumble:

This Indeed. But be advised, it will be a lifestyle change, not a diet.

LOL Love that!

All the above are great choices to increase your protein intake. Without access to your food log, it's hard to tell how much protein you are already eating. Given just your height and weight, you should need ~ 110 grams of lean protein a day with your Resting Metabolic Rate at 1500. Don't go too high on the protein too…

I usually have a protein based snack about an hour before bed. This helps keep my body fueled during the recovery and repair phase. You may be resting but your body is still ticking right along - feed it!

Bump to read later at home.

You might want to look into a soy based protein powder.

Mine is open as well. Not particularly interesting but you are more than welcome to take a look.

I manage to think of food as fuel. Just like putting gas in my car, I need to fuel my body. That said, it does need to have a great taste, texture and be satisfying.

Based on just your height and weight, I'd say you should eat approx. 1400 to 1500 (with a BMR of 1874) calories a day of which 146 grams should be lean protein. That will put you at a controlled deficit and should loose 1 +/- pounds every 8 days. Water is very important as well - 1/2 your body weight in ounces. Your water…

As has been said - lean red meat, tuna, nuts (almonds, pistachios are my choice), peanut butter are all good choices.

Without being able to view your food log, I would say, just based on the information you gave, that your protein requirements should average about 120 grams of lean protein a day. However, not all at once - space it out during the day. Water - you should be drinking 83 ounces a day on non exercise days. More (additional 16…

Just keep your eyes on your long term goal and adjust accordingly. You'll do fine!

"How did you get a 50% discount??!!" Hard work! LOL Check with your coach. There are various discount levels available to members.

My food log is open. Feel free to take a look!

Welcome and good luck! Feel free to add me as a friend.

Sending you a message.

This is the schiznit...

No! Weekly, because the daily changes are upsetting for you.

As others have said, please check with your Dr. first. That said, here's what I would want in your food log - WATER - you need approx. 122 ounces of water a day. Not that bad if you break it down hourly. About 8 an hour for a 16 hour day. PROTEIN - I calculate you need about 147 ounces of lean protein a day. This will help…

/\ /\ /\ THIS! Don't go "off the rack" until you have a good understanding of what each type of shoe does. There are different types of shoes for different types of runners. ie. high miles, pronation, cushioning, bare foot, etc. Let the sales folks at the store do the analysis and go from there. Nothing worse than a hard…

kytte, You live pretty close and I travel through Cary on a regular basis. Maybe me and "the boys" should pay a visit to said husband and explain some of life's mysteries ! Then you can reuse, recycle or just upgrade to husband 2.0!
