I get the so delicious 5x protein almond milk from whole foods or the califia original from Harris teeter.

I'm no pro and hopefully others will chime in, but keep it simple. Focus on form above all else. Being sore is good. Shoot for ten reps to start, three sets per machine, then move that up or down depending on fatigue level and goals. Unfortunately machines/weights don't have a one size fits all routine, you can adjust…

I grew up eating a veggie rich diet. Lots of eating from the garden supplemented with farm stand produce all summer long. Where I live now has two growing seasons and great produce eight months of the year. I'm not a vegetarian by a long shot but I do love my veggies. Its tricky as Ive been trying to ramp up protein intake…

Like others have said, if I'm making a six or seven ingredient omelette, which I do pretty frequently, I won't log, "kale, tomatoes, onions, peppers, mushrooms". I will put in the egg whites, protein, cheese,and Avocado, as they are more calorie rich. Veggies are chock full of nutrients, and those four little lines at the…

I just checked my fridge, Marie's Greek yogurt blue cheese dressing only has 190 mg sodium per two tablespoon serving. And its delicious. Also, clear dressings tend to go further in a salad. My go to clear dressing is newmans own red wine vinaigrette. 390 mg per two tablespoons but a salad with that much of this dressing…

I weigh at the same time each week and try to eat and drink the same thing prior. Weigh in is 11:00 in the morning, so while I can eat the same breakfast I can't control my eater intake. Well, I guess I can, but it is silly to walk into a workout dehydrated to inflate your results. The fancy scale shows both intercellular…

The machine I'm "weighing" on once a week is around $5000. I was going to buy one on amazon, but didn't feel like dropping a grand on it,and. That seems to be the cutoff for anything worth a darn. So I figured I'd spend the money on a Trainer instead and get some workout coaching too. I have a cheap digital scale I used to…

Can't help you on the chain restaurant scene. Try non chain places with less processed foods, and avoid deli meat in general. Processed food equals sodium. Simple food needs salt added to get that high sodium. Have you tried oil and vinegar for dressing?

Im very numbers oriented, so its tough as I get closer To my goals to see my numbers suffer, despite the fact I'm feeling stronger and better every day. They aren't suffering per se, I'm still hitting my targets, but I was exceeding them for a period of time. Once I exceed a goal, I like to set a new higher goal, not treat…

I make many variations but my go to is: 3/4 cup plain Greek yogurt One scoop protein powder 2 T flax seed meal Handful kale, broccoli rabe, or whatever green you have handy Handful frozen blueberries Half a frozen banana If memory serves, this should be around 45/45 grams protein and carbs, and eight or so grams of fiber.…

My PT told me exactly the same thing you are saying. He is not one for blowing smoke. Me on the other hand... Bottom line, as I get closer to my target weight; screw the scale, trust my belt instead?

Could very well be an error in measurement, but its been several weeks of this, and it seems strange that I would ramp up my strength training and yet slow down my weight loss at the same time. My chart was at a 45 degree angle going down and has leveled off, yet I'm eating better than ever before and working out more than…

Numbers coming from fancy scale at my trainers office. Where you stand on it and hold two bars coming off, and it measures each part of the body; right leg, left leg, trunk, left arm, right arm. Spits out bmi, bfp, water weight, lean muscle, fat, etc. I don't adjust my food down to compensate for exercise either, but on…

^^^^^ That salad sounds delicious I'm going to give it a try. The "4 for $4" butternut squash salad at whole foods is also delicious. I don't really like white potatoes unless they are in tater tot form. I do them baked 80% of the time, baked as fries 20% of the time. Read a great trick to toss with one teaspoon of…

First post... Grouper tacos Ezekiel sprouted corn tortillas Pan seared fresh grouper Thin sliced red cabbage Homemade baja sauce (2/1 Greek yogurt/mayo, jalapeño, lime, cilantro, and kitchen sink of spices) Avocado Lime on top The app is great, and the community kept popping up on different health searches, so I figured…
