Sodium is NOT always high on deli meats or cheeses. Boar's Head offers a line of lower sodium and no-salt products. The No Salt Added roast beef (http://boarshead.com/products/beef/242-no-salt-added-choice-cap-off-top-round-half), which I buy all the time is delicious and only 40mg of sodium for a 2 ounce serving. The No…

Black. Dark roast. Occasionally on Saturdays I'll do a flavored coffee -- Dunkin Donuts Pumpkin Spice coffee is the shizzle, btw -- but that's it.

I'll agree with many of the other replies that this industry, fitness and nutrition, has a strong "judge the book by its cover" aspect to it. Should it? No. Does it? Yes. "Ugh, that guy's my trainer? How's he going to help me when he clearly has 50 to lose himself?" I will say, however, that I know this to not always be…

Yep. I'll be dressing as Waldo for Halloween, which means the goatee will get shaved off. So...since I'll be clean shaven anyway.... I think I'm going to go with the whole Grizzly Adams look, tho. Then figure something out at the end of the month.

I don't know...that kind of diet will kill ya! http://www.foxnews.com/us/2012/10/09/man-dies-after-live-roach-eating-contest-in-florida/

I always point to this spreadsheet that I keep in my google docs. I found the data on a British calorie site, reorganized it a little. Biggest protein bang for your calorie-dollar is going to be tuna steaks (not the canned crap, actual tuna steaks).…

Wow. That's about all you can say. Wow. Nicely done.

The "I would eat this every day" stuff: Pizza Ice Cream (the real stuff, not the Edy's Slow Churned 1/2 the sugar stuff I eat now) Beer The "I would eat this way more often than I do now" stuff White chocolate and macadamia nut cookies Nutter Butters Bagels and cream cheese

Congratulations and great job! That's definitely a cause worth fighting for. You've done a good thing today, for yourself and for others.

Top Three: 1. The Eagles, Hell Freezes Over Tour, Memorial Stadium, Clemson, South Carolina - They played for almost 3 hours. Good music, good friends (almost 70,000 of them! :wink:) 2. Wolfmother, House of Blues, Orlando - Awesome music. It was after the self-titled album came out. I've never seen such a small venue rock…

Well, here's mine. Started out way back then half-assing a diet and half-assing working out. Then, after kiddo #2 was born in October, 2010, my wife and I decided to get serious. I was 276 in January, 2011, found MFP, never looked back. I run 3-4 times a week, totaling about 24 miles per week. a day of cross-fit type stuff…

Or...rather than not indulge, get in hella-exercise on Saturday morning, then eat back your exercise calories. There's a reason why my 13-ish mile LSD run is on Saturday. Because Saturday night usually involves beer and other goodies. 13 miles is about 1300 net calories for me. That's not an insignificant amount of "beer…

Peanut butter will be the number one suggestion you see, and I agree, it's packed with calories and a little bit of protein and fats. Others will suggest other nut butters, so you can control what kind of fats you want. My other suggestion would be fruit juices. An 8 ounce cup of orange juice, for instance, is 114 calories…

Correct, but not quite the answer the OP was looking for. The enginerd in me cannot resist the need to correct this. 2 FLUID OUNCES is 1/4 of a cup. This is a measure of volume and cannot be universally translated to mass or weight (you need to know the density of something then do some fancy math to make that conversion).…

I'm sure there's plenty of healthy eating options in Chicago. I am going to go the complete opposite. Take one night, forget your healthy eating habits. Go to David Burke's Primehouse. Yes, the one that's been on Travel Channel's Steak Paradise. Get whatever steak you want. (Now, here's the key to this suggestion): GET THE…

1. Drive to store 2. Buy Bolthouse Farms Creamy Ranch Yogurt Dressing 3. Consume tasty dressing. Only 45 calories for a 2 tablespoon serving. Sodium is a little high (220mg per serving or something like that), but not out of bed from any other ranch dressing.

Initial thoughts - Glad to get out of Atlanta with a win. Auburn is always tough, and I had no idea what to expect from my team -- three new starters on the O-Line and 6 new starters on defense, including a new D Coordinator usually spells disaster. However, the offensive line looked fantastic against what will likely be…

Why stop at one cup? I drink 8-10 8-ounce cups per day. There's a bunch of different studies as to whether or not coffee (or caffeine, in particular) is a diuretic or what the health benefits may or may not be. It all seems to depend on who funded the study. If I'm not drinking coffee, chances are I'm drinking water, so I…

Sometimes my mustache if I've forgotten to trim it in a while. Otherwise, nothing but water and coffee grinds. If you brew it right (and you don't even need super expensive equipment), and you buy *GOOD* coffee (not Folger's, not Maxwell House, not even Starbucks. Think World Market or Gevalia or (my current favorite…

I have a very similar story to this one. At my lowest intake, I was probably around 1250. Much like the OP, I was scared to add back in calories as I was scared to start gaining weight. When I was coming close to my final goal (176, as the ticker below says), I started adding in calories, a couple hundred at a time, every…

1. Hit snooze. 2. Roll over and go back to sleep. After waking up the second time: 1. Go downstairs, pour coffee (it's auto-started in the morning and waiting on me) 1A. Let the dog out if he happened to follow me down the stairs 2. Morning bathroom ritual 3. Get the kids up and moving (wake the 5 year old and get her…

Biggest thing on boxed cereal is to watch sugars and sodium, although the Kashi you listed isn't bad for either. Just make sure that you're getting the proper serving -- it's not "one bowl," it's usually only 3/4 of a cup or one cup. Or you could do what I do, measure it on a kitchen scale (most cereals include a grams…

My el cheapo Hamilton Beach works fine and I've found it's more technique than anything else. What I've found works the best - Get the protein powder, liquid and any non-ice (read as frozen fruits) blended. Add the ice SLOWLY, wait until what you've added is thoroughly chopped before adding more. It helps if you get…

Melbourne, (the one in Florida, not the bonzer one) here. There's a bunch of Floridians around.

I run at mostly in the dark, too. To make sure i can be seen, I have three reflective bands and an LED flashing light wrist band that I wear. Mostly I stick to residential neighborhoods and I agree with the other posters - the large field, in the dark would probably freak me out Children of the Corn style. If you're…

Like Pinky and the Brain, same thing every day. Oatmeal, almond milk, protein powder, banana. Sometimes I swap out the banana for some trail mix. And I keep the variety going by changing out the flavor of protein powder.

Some pumpkin ales are good, others not so much. I recommend Dogfish Head's Punkin Ale if you're wanting to try one. And if you're looking for something a little different Dogfish also has a seasonal Raison D'Etre which is brewed with plums and raisins and something else. It's a little fruity and makes for a good dessert…

Oh, so many to choose from! If I had to say any were my "favorite" I would say Stone Arrogant *kitten* and Bell's Hopslam. Others at the top of my list: Bell's Two-Hearted Sierra Nevada Bigfoot Rodenbach Gran Crux Rogue Ruination Ale St. Bernardus ABT12 Unibroue Trois Pistoles Ommegang Three Philosophers Just to name a…

Wow. While I admit I see more of the game when I watch on TV....free tickets! To a professional game?! And he doesn't want to go? You did explain to him that you were actually talking about AMERICAN FOOTBALL and not "futbol," right? Or maybe the proper comeback comes from this scene:
