Plain Greek Yogurt with pears, blueberries, chia seeds, hempseeds, buckwheatseeds, dried cranberries, and almonds. (60c/5f/50p).

Plain Greek Yogurt with pears, blueberries, chia seeds, hempseeds, buckwheatseeds, dried cranberries, and almonds. I train for around 2 hours everyday so I like huge breakfasts high in carbs and protein w/ minimal fats (60c/5f/50p).

It's really just personal preference. Some people do better training fasted, and some people (like myself) feel like death without food in their stomach. If your method works, keep at it. People like to get caught up in the details, but as long as you're consistently meeting your nutrient goals it doesn't really matter in…

My personal favorites are Cellucor, Quest, and Pescience. Check out bodybuilding.com for the best deals on protein powders (GNC is way overpriced). These are mainly my favorites b/c of the fun flavors like Peanut Butter Marshmallow, White Chocolate Mint, Snickerdoodle, etc. On another note, I rarely use protein powder to…

Okay the basics of weight loss are 1) Find out your current calorie burn in a day 2) Subtract the amount of calories equivalent to how fast you want to lose weight 3) Eat that amount. It really is a numbers game of calories in and calories out. So it's not necessarily what you eat, but how much you eat. That being said…

I'd actually recommend eating back only half your exercise calories. Only because we tend to overestimate our burn and underestimate our intake. Also consider getting a food scale if you don't already have one. When you have such a low BMR, being even 100 calories off a day can really hurt your progress.

Not overkill, but if you're body isn't used to this sort of high volume exercise you'll get burnt out really fast. But once you start working out your body gets used to to. I used to think that working out four times a week was tough, but now after a year I work out for two hours every single day. So it's definitely…

Well it depends what your goals are. Are you trying to lose weight or gain weight? Are you a lifter or an endurance athlete or neither? If you want some help we need more details.

Okay this is going to sound really weird, but a great alternative to cereal is baby cereal. Not really nutrient dense, but a ton of volume. 3 cups of gerber puffs are only 150 calories, which makes it a perfect snacking food.

Well the first thing we need to know to help you are what are your goals? If you're simply trying to lose weight, then managing macronutrients isn't that important. But a proper split can help you minimize muscle loss, while losing weight. What I noticed is that you are very low on your protein intake, from just the past…

I can do fat free food, but I can't do calorie free. Yuck.

People who add giant spoonfuls of peanut butter to everything, because it's a 'good' source of protein. No chicken and egg whites are a good source of protein, peanut butter is a good fat source. I mean 8g of protein for 200 cals? Geez

Hey, 19 years old, 2nd year of uni. Height: 5'3.5" on a good day. HW: 125 CW: 107 GW: 105 Although I would love to see a 105 on the scale one day, I'm not actively pursuing losing the last 2 pounds. I'm more focused on maintaining and building up more muscle. My ultimate goal is to get a six-pack. I mean I already have…

Yeah it can be overwhelming, believe me I know. But in the end what stuck with me was developing healthy habits that I actually enjoyed. It may take a bit of searching to find what works best for you, but don't make yourself miserable in the process. Although I suggest starting with simple changes and work your way up from…

Chocolate Babka... all the Chocolate Babka

1. Greek Yogurt 2. Bananas 3. Chicken Breast 4. Salad Mix 5. Oats

I've found it doesn't clump as much if you stir a little bit in at a time.

It was around a serving of Eas Chocolate whey, with around 6 oz of milk. I warn you the texture is weird, but weirdly delicious.

Yep, strangest thing. I actually found actual recipes that used protein powder and egg and milk. But just milk and protein powder worked quite well.

A super simple recipe I love is just to throw it in the crockpot for a couple hours. Then shred it and add your favorite barbecue sauce. Literally the yummiest and simplest meal ever. A more involved recipe I love is this Greek Yogurt Chicken Salad from Damn Delicious…

Greek yogurt is regular yogurt (like yoplait), that has been strained a few more times. For this reason it's thicker with twice the protein. You should definitely try it! A bit more expensive than regular yogurt, but worth it in my opinion. Although I love the stuff as is, I find it's pretty versatile. It can be an awesome…

You should definitely recheck that calorie count, because according to my calculations and the weights you gave 17 cals for dried apricots (7g) 18 cals for dried cranberries (4g) 63 cals for raisins (21g) That's 98 cals, not including the apple.

Haha agreed. Once on vacation I was splurging and having a giant cinnamon roll for breakfast. Anyways my overweight friend looks at my breakfast and says, "Maybe you should get something else?"... She was eating a giant croissant with nutella. But according to her, her breakfast was better than mine b/c it had protein in…

1. 19 2. 5' 3'' 3. 107 4. Walk 4+ miles around campus 5. 1700 (without working out)

I used to do the same thing. The first thing is to portion out your food. Chips or ice cream at the end of the day isn't going to kill your entire day, but a whole bag or pint might. The major thing I found that helped is to sit down for every meal or snack. I portion out the amount of "junk food" (a serving or if I feel a…
