  • Oats and exercise (heavy lifting 3-4 times a week is usually doable and effective for most).
  • Your body handles different sugars differently. Unless you eat a ridiculous amount of fruit each day, I believe it won't affect your health to eat sugars from fruits. Also, avoiding overripened and/or high fructose fruits may be beneficial for your health (I'm too lazy to look for and post articles, but pubmed is a great…
  • I'm surprised there aren't any sexual jokes that I've seen lol. Anyways, almonds by far. If the peanut was actually a nut it'd be a tie.
  • I think weighing everything before and after is a hassle you shouldn't have to worry about unless you eat a lot of bacon wrapped chicken each day or week. I would just guestimate for the bacon (maybe half of the fat originally in it), and would look on mfp for existing chicken breast with other marinades, adjusting based…
  • chicken pasta should have enough protein for a regular meal. If that's not enough, any of the following have "high protein content" but may also be high in other stuff like fat or carbs: lentils, tofu, cheese, yogurt, beans, nuts, fish, eggs, meat etc. The list goes on, google is your best friend, and you may either not be…
  • Unless you are eating 1-2 g of protein per lb of body weight already (I think this is ridiculous and excessive), I would say not to worry about taking calories from carbs and fats and allocating some extra to protein if you find yourself in a situation like this.
  • Baked kirkland protein bars (they're a cheaper quest bar that tastes better imo) or a small bowl of blackberries and cheerios

  • 1. I'll probably screw up my diet at some time, don't hate myself 2. Don't make more rules - they just provide extra stress
  • Protein shake and 200g potato post fasted-workout: shaker cup and microwave potatoes to eat after gym in car Chicken, broccoli, zuccini, carrots, eggplant, and potatoes for lunch: pan sear chicken breast microwave eggplant and potato, add eggplant, carrot, zuccini to food processor (lemon juice, garlic, salt optional) and…
  • I haven't readd many of the other replies so I don't know what has already been said, but if you are training hard (NOT long or with kcal-based workout goals) and never cheating or refeeding, try a refeed day where you lower your lower fats (never below 20% kcal from fat) and protein (never below 50/60g protein) and take…
  • I admit I've looked at something behind or above girls I like because I'm afraid I'll get labeled for being a perv and staring. Basically, I used to try to look as unaware or uninterested as possible; however, just starting some conversation (guy or girl) if you really want to give it a shot is the way to go.
  • Oatmeal with protein powder, cinnamon, dark chocolate (i use 1 piece of trader joes 72%), cocoa powder, natural peanut butter, and sliced almonds. I eat it every day because it's that good, just need the microwave and a spoon. You can add coconut oil for more fat. Also, canned beans and egg whites are easy, microwave egg…
  • Can I still adopt a noob? I am currently 21, but was overweight from the ages of five to eighteen. It's not because I was inactive, it's because I like to eat a lot, and I was normally very active and was able to maintain my weight. There were periods when I became very slim, and periods in which I was inactive for a few…
  • Quest bars, Combat bars (Muscle Pharm), Pure Protein bars. But I'd prefer the answer above unless you lift more than three times a week, are very active, and simply can't stomach the amount of protein you (supposedly) need. 3 eggs, a cup of cottage cheese, a cup of greek yogurt, and a serving of beans is already ~60g or…
  • 1 Scoop Flavored Whey (I've used both chocolate and vanilla), handful of spinach, handful of kale, 1 tbs peanut butter, and 1 medium banana. You can drop either the banana or the peanut butter (or both) depending on your needs for the day.
  • Do you eat a lot of dairy? Also, do you get enough iron each day? Lastly, do you eat a lot of oatmeal? Oatmeal has molecules that reduce absorption of iron by chelation (binding on multiple sites). Dairy idk why, maybe excess calcium, I know that causes reduced absorption of other minerals.

  • Protein shake during your break, but make it nutrient (and calorie dense) such as protein powder, some nut butter, some cruciferous vegetables, and milk
  • with some of these posts I'm wondering if I eat too little :\ 5'10 170 eating 2100 to cut, walk about 6 miles a day due to campus + workout 6 times a week
  • You will end up getting a LOT of protein from powder if you don't like tofu or tvp. You could get the vegan proteins such as seitan; however, the prepackaged foods are high in sodium, so you may want to get unflavored seitan and prepare it yourself.
  • 5 quest bars baked into a giant cookie topped with greek yogurt, stevia, dark chocolate trimmings, brazil nuts, and walden farms syrup
  • I like animals, although I am not proactively involved in caring for one or supporting a cause; however, feel free to add me! I'm in the smaller demographic population-wise on mfp, but I've gone through ED's, tried a bunch of ridiculous diets (and eating timings) that resulted in me finally just sitting down and reading a…
  • You can add me =). The hardest part is starting!
  • If you are looking for an alternative that has almost the same nutrition as quest bars, try Victory bars. They are highly underrated and have nearly the same macros as quest bars. For example, the Chocolate chip cookie dough Victory bar is 6g fat, 28g carb (20 fiber), 21g of protein. They are also MUCH cheaper and go on…
  • Try spending your day with your significant other or friends. Helps me get back on track after breaks/cheat days
  • Eat a lot of carbs and get in good fats. Make sure to eat some eggs (yolk is nutrient dense), vegetables, and get enough fiber. Other than that, eat whatever the hell you want. Don't worry about tracking that much at 18, but just be aware of the approximate calories you are getting per day. ~ 2700-3200 should be more than…
  • homemade protein bars. The ones I make and eat: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cEft2EUTz9I
  • I find it beneficial to eat a very large amount rather than a normal amount of junk food on a cheat day. The food passes through and I find myself back to normal (or lighter) after 3-4 days.
  • Try intermittent fasting, eat all of your food at once so you don't have room for temptation. Keep yourself occupied during the day otherwise. If you can't, you should worry about mental deterioration before physical.
