I have 85g of carrots and 100g of cucumber almost everyday with my lunch, 50 calories. It fills me up and I like the crunch. When I get sick of cucumber I do snap peas.

I follow IIFYM and eat whatever. I tried paleo, gluten free and dairy free, but my body tolerates everything just fine and I don't do well with restrictive diets. I typically do moderate protein, low fat and moderate carb. Works great for me! I have bulked on it, and currently am cutting while hitting PRs. I cut out most…

Rice cakes- I know not everyone is a fan but I like them because they are crunchy. Aldi has these 90cal packs that are either smores or cinnamon bun flavor they are delicious Edamame- protein and it takes a while to eat! Instant oatmeal- do 1/2 water 1/2 egg whites for more protein and volume

I've found that if you add gram as a search term your chances of getting a entry is better, "apple grams" or "rice cooked grams".

I stopped drinking diet drinks because of this reason, headaches. I do fine with small amounts of stevia (1-2 drinks per day). You can find stevia soda under the brand Zevia at natural foods stores, or larger chains.

I like this! Another thing I've heard and implemented was "If you're not hungry enough to eat an apple, you're not hungry. You're just bored." It helps you evaluate why you want to eat, it's not really about eating an apple... but apples are generally a better choice than many things we grab in moments of weakness.

They are great for convenience and pure protein. I do 1/2 egg white 1/2 water in my oatmeal every morning.

I eat 1700 on rest days (2x week) and 1800 on active days (5x week) with a few splurges here and there, and am losing .8lbs/week. My TDEE is about 2200.

A waist trainer is basically a corset that has been marketed to women as a fitness accessory. There are reasons why women don't wear corsets anymore... they aren't safe or practical.

I'm cutting right now after a slow bulk for the past 1.5 years, since I started CrossFit. Planning a bulk later this year. I love having strong ladies in my friend group!

Enjoying exercise and having it become a hobby, for me that is CrossFit. You'll quickly see a decrease in performance if your eating isn't going well. I've gone through periods of no logging, no weighing, no food restrictions, but exercise has been a staple and has allowed me to maintain within a reasonable range.

Surprised and happy that last night I attempted my first kipping HSPU, I did 3 or so and then my arms started buckling, haha. But I got 'em!

I meal plan on Sundays and log everything that's "locked in" - like breakfasts, snacks, leftover lunches, dinners, etc. mostly to make sure I hit my macros. Sometimes things change, like if I need a treat then I have to reorganize bit, but I have a rough plan and try to stick with it, especially if I am trying to maintain…

You look fab and super happy, great job!!

Wrist wraps, knee sleeves, JUNK headbands. My Xmas list is also CF stuff!

Competed in my first CrossFit competition and did awesome with weights I was worried about! Strung together 5 kipping pull ups for an unbroken PR :smile:

I don't like protein powder in oatmeal due to the taste, so I make two different kinds of proats: - Hot: 40g oats or 2 instant packs, 1/2c boxed egg whites, 1/2c Fairlife milk (high in protein), cook in microwave for 1 min, stir, cook for 30sec, stir, repeat until done - Cold/Overnight: 40g oats, 1c kefir + 1tbsp chia…

Make sure you work in rest days, you're less likely to burn out that way. Maybe aim for every other day?

That sucks, at least your hubby was there and you didn't have to ask someone else...

You'll love what it does to your body! I started just about a year ago, I've actually gained 7lbs, I was in maintenance mode when I started and in hind sight I needed to gain a little, I look much healthier and fit now. Lots of people lose weight when combined with good nutrition. My cellulite is much improved, I'm not…

The exact same thing happened to me when I did a pretty strict paleo challenge and then had 2 donuts. I think it's the carb rush and then the crash.

Feel free to add me! I Crossfit 4x a week, I love lifting!

@Angimom this happened to me when I had bicep tendonitis and then went right back into pull-ups (60 in one WOD, was resting for 2 months) without training back up to a normal level. This week I started doing 5 pull-ups after each WOD and adding 5 more each time. I think it's just an overuse injury, you probably need to…

Wow, that's awesome! What is your height and weight if you don't mind me asking? I've been considering ETP...

We're about 90/10 at our house, since September 2014. Top 3 reasons to stick with the current plan: 1. Less farts- haha! But totally true. I'm sure our guts are much happier with us now. 2. More regulated blood sugar, I rarely have "spells" or get "hangry" now 3. Less cravings and binges

Pre-log the night before and eat leftovers so you can copy meals. I also always eat the same breakfast so it makes things easy! I second @erockem and also always have MPF up at work so I can update as needed.

5' 5.5", maintaining for a over a year right around 135-140. It seems to be my set point, it's not too hard for me to maintain that.

I usually do 2 WODs, 1 oly class and 1 open gym. Oly class and open gym are no cost, so that's an added benefit!

Egg white oatmeal is the best and TONS of protein. 1/2 c oatmeal 1/2 c water 3/4 c egg whites Combine the above, microwave for 75 seconds, stir. Microwave for 30 seconds, stir, repeat until cooked thru. Top with almond milk, fresh fruit and cinnamon.

In for answers, have been wondering the same thing about sardines!
