  • The point of re-consuming your work-outs is more about ensuring your body can feed the new gained muscles. I don't re-consume ALL of my calories burned BUT, I ALWAYS save at least 200 calories which include 18 grams of protein for my Post-Work out meal, whether I happenned to have been under or over my original baseline…
  • I wouldn't worry about it. It's delish and very healthy and high in omega 3 oils. If you get bored of Salmon and want to switch it up, just get some other fish like Tilapia, Tuna, Mahi Mahi so you can feel better about not turning into a Salmon yourself :) just kidding.

  • The cookbook I use has grocery lists for the week. It's called "Healthy Calendar Diabetic Cooking" by Lara Rondinelli, Jennifer Bucko. I'm not a diabetic but I love the book and I pick and choose the meals for the week and follow the grocery list. Makes it easier to buy and not waste produce!

  • No, so long as you're intake in protein and carbs is sufficient to maintain your endurance strength.

  • Two Questions 1) How much are you stretching before and after each routine? Stretching properly is just as important as the excercise itself. 2) What type of shoes are you using? I suspect that if you are feeling pain, you're most likely not stretching enough, if that's the case, try sitting on the ground stretching them…
