my high protein and reasonably low cal snack is chobani greek yogurt. If I want something even lower cal, hardboiled egg does the trick.

I'm not a big fan either, but once I get going, I love it. Its just getting the motivation back up and running after I stop. Another thing I noticed is that I really struggle to have fun or get into a routine from home. I just won't do it.

Both my current and previous docs said that my birth control affects my thyroid, but again, my first doc didn't really explain why or go into it. Just said not to take both pills at the same time.
