Most every morning I blend up a cup of cow or almond milk with two cups of spinach, a cup of frozen fruit and a double serving of protein powder. (I also add a raw egg, and a serving of benefiber, but that's maybe the 2.0 version.). Totally recommend. It's sweet, tastes of the fruit and the protein powder and I have half…

Protein shake instead of my carby, unsatisfying breakfast options. Almondmilk, unsweetened, in a very few areas instead of milk. 30 calories instead of 120 a cup. Just in my protein shake for now. Strangely, I went for half and half as coffee creamer instead of milk. A little goes a long way. I end up with fewer calories.…

I take fish oil and a joint supplement blend of the three supplements generally accepted to help joints. Glucosamine, chondroitin and MSM. I am not a big supplement advocate. I researched what each of these did and decided it applied to my situation. I run, and I am middle aged. I don't have big joint issues. I seem to…

Can of good tuna, drained - usually Wild Planet is closer to filet chunks, unlike a Bumblebee which is something closer to tuna mush. Two to three hard boiled eggs, roughly chopped. Plain Greek yogurt, about 40 grams. Dash lemon juice. Salt and pepper. Sometimes smoked paprika. Sometimes onions. Sometimes celery. Sometimes…

I bike commute, only 2.5 miles. But I then workout at my gym at my workplace. I am cutting fairly aggressively, with a planned weekly one pound loss a week, BMI 23 (normal range). I live in Florida, so heat can play a factor. I rise from bed and am on the road within 35 minutes. I had to play around with breakfast a lot. I…

Body recomposition is a topic that might cover somewhat your need. There are lots of threads on these boards on it. I know I look less boney than I used to in my shoulders, and my fat deposit areas on my hips are less exaggerated, more like an average person. Not sure what exactly you are experiencing, so this may be off…

If I had those numbers, I would first double check the 1232 calories eaten during the ride. You haven't fueled that lengthy of a ride with these figures. Yes, there are multiple downsides from large deficits. Decreased performance, lethargy, hunger and muscle loss.

And my baking ingredients and storage containers organized.

If its food, its meant to be eaten. For weight loss goals, there are probably some foods you should eat less of, sure. But this is built into your plan, so .... you are are compliant. So why have guilt when you did what you agreed to? No one is measuring for extra compliance. But I get it. I am more using MFP in order to…

I have an insta pot. Are you sure the seal was tight? The only time my recipe failed in the way you describe was when I failed to get a good seal. You may want to trial something less pricey, like plain rice, until you are confident with it. We regularly use ours and I think its worth the effort to learn to use.

Olives. Garlic stuffed, or fewer of blue cheese stuffed if you are adventurous. Big flavor, good if you want something salty, or just when you want to bring your fat macro up.

It's a classic combo, and you can't tell once it's blended. But yeah, I hear you. One weird thing we do when we try something new, is I serve it in stemware at the evening meal. My youngest requested we try passion fruit juice, since it was in his Spanish vocabulary. So we served it soon after at the dinner table; water in…

My two boys drink milk like they are calves. They easily drink a gallon a day, and they would drink more if I didn't put my foot down. I slowed down one by offering to make him protein shakes with it instead. My other son didn't care for the protein powders I have tried so far. Both wigged out when I offered to add raw…

I suppose there is the option to go to the doctor or straight to the lab and check for deficiencies. But turkey, fruit and eggs are all reasonable things to eat. If you were craving candy corn, then I'd be prone to waving that off. Since you are craving real food, I would personally be apt to encourage you to eat those…

Thank you for the list of sources for professional clothing! Very useful and timely for me. I have been scouring online, I will stop in TJ Maxx soon.
