  • hm - if you are sitting down like I am right not at my office chair in front of my computer, with *kitten* posture - and you look down at your guts - you will definitely have a pouch. I have one and I also get the added bonus of double chins as I crane my neck down to look at my stomach whilst sitting. When I stand up…
  • Is listening to a book the same as reading a book? Discuss.
  • I eat food about 1 - 1.5 hours before I work out. Then I eat more food pretty much within 30 - 60mins tops after I work out. Real food. Like proper meals.
  • what she said above. ^^^
  • That's why I still haven't taken the leap to pay for Premium. As much as I'd LOVE to use some of the features - I refuse to pay heaps of $$ for something that is broken more often than not.
  • Actually, I wouldn't even ask my husband to do it. Because I'm the one who doens't want more kids - he would have a billion more if my shop was still open for business. And you just never know - I mean - who knows if we'll still be together in x amount of time? So I wouldn't want to kitten his chances of potentially having…
  • Yep - literally butter spread between 2 pieces of wholewheat or rye bread. I know. Eyeroll. My kid is like that though - eats a very limited diet which drives me bonkers, but at least the limited stuff she eats is relatively good - carrots, rice, eggs, vegetarian sausages (she's vegetarian. I'm not), cucumber, potato,…
  • I'm a If It Fits Your Macros (IIFYM) follower too. For those of you who haven't heard of it - it just means eat whatever you want, as long as it fits your daily allocated Protein, Fats and Carbs macros. I have an open diary, but I am a grumpy old lady, I talk too much, I vent, I can be obnoxious and rude and not everyone's…
  • My kid is in primary school (in Australia). Our school canteen is supposedly a "healthy food zone" -as in - they don't actually sell stuff like fries or sweets. They have a variety of sandwiches and hot lunches that are made in-house such as lasagna, they have some sweet options like those fruit juice ice tubes and some…
  • This. I can easily eat the week's worth of deficit budget in one day if you let me. What I do instead is eat at maintenance on one day of the week. That way i'm still in an overall deficit for the entire week.
  • What do you want to work in particular? Hamstrings? Back? There are a tonne of other exercises you can do for hamstrings or back that aren't deadlifts or hip hinge rows.
  • Oi, nasci no Brasil mas moro na Australia desde pequena. Eu escrevo em Ingles na wall. Welcome to MFP e boa sorte com sua fitness journey!
  • Oh - someone mentioned supplements up above - I get nauseous if I take fish oil capsules. I'm fine to eat oily fish and eat a fair amount of it.
  • why? just eat food. or less of it if you want to lose weight.
  • I'm a gobbler too! Especially if i'm hungry! It's like I don't even chew, I just shove the food in my mouth and down my gullet. I find that the hungrier I get the faster I eat, so I really try to eat more often now - I've become accustomed to eating 4 solid meals a day so that as soon as I start to feel peckish it's…
  • I track daily in terms of every day I log my food and have a set goal to hit. However, that being said, sometimes I will calorie cycle - where during the week I will eat less so that i have a bigger budget for weekend. I still track it every day, but then I go in and change the calories/macros goals for the days of extra…
  • I'm sure there is research on it out there somewhere, otherwise people wouldn't be banging on about how important it is to sleep. For me personally, if I don't sleep enough and am tired the next day, it makes it harder for me to stick to lower calorie goals because when I'm tired, I don't know, I get "hungry" - or I get…

  • YOu win the forums today :D
  • Same here. I eat roughly 4 proper meals a day. I have breakfast, 2 lunches and a dinner. And lunch number 2 includes dessert, and dinner usually includes a frozen fruit juice tube or fruit for dessert too. Personally if I snack, it's not satisfying and I will end up eating non-stop for ages. Bingeing really. And things…
  • LOL!!!! Yes!!!! Times like these the "woo" button would have come in handy hahahahahahahaa
  • Lunch number 2. I work out at lunchtime (starting anytime between sort of 1145 am to 1pm-sh depends on work) At 10-1030am-ish I eat a light lunch which is generally a salad or grated carrots, some sort of greenery such as cucumber, protein of some sort - usually sardines because yum and I keep stacks of cans in my office,…
  • I refused to spend more than $5K. I didn't even want to get married, was quite happy to continue to co-habitate but my husband has old fashioned ideas and dind't want to live in sin any longer (eyeroll) I don't even like calling him my husband. My dress cost about $100 from one of those young people shops with nightclub…
  • yes, a joke. not everything i say is black and white. where is the eyeroll emoji when you need it on the desktop version of the forum?
  • Seems like Sam is the issue there. If things were all peachy at first and then crazy afterwards, it's not all you. He would have told you about no shoes in the house or whatever at the beginning when telling you to close the door of the dryer. I'm with the "move out now" crowd. Start looking around. you may find something…
  • PS - a chicken is a fowl - neither a mammal nor a reptile. However, it does have warm blood. I know, I've killed them before. The blood is very warm.
  • I agree 100% with this. I just can't wrap my head around so much fat and so little other things such as fibre and the variety of micronutrients and vitamins that you get from fresh fruits and vegetables can be good for you in the long term. Sure, you can always supplement, but why supplement when you could eat yummy things…
  • I missed the keto part, but a guy here at work who does keto says that you should use that "diet rite" salt - it's a salt with potassium in it - and lots of it because of something to do with keto-stuff. Sorry, he did explain it to me but I tend to let keto things go in one ear and out the other. I do remember that what he…
  • I keep my protein the same every day regardless of what i'm doing. very occasionally I will have a carb dump on a solid leg day (as in eat a bazillion carbs like 300g). But that's about it.
  • I eat food after my workout. Usually rice, beans, meat and vegetables. But it varies. But always has rice or pasta or (gasp!) bread or potato + meat + some sort of greenery. Then i have fruit for dessert. Shakes, for me, leave me feeling hungry 30 minutes after I drink it so I don't see the point of wasting the calories in…
