I'm finding myself stuck now…

  • Personally I do believe in timing of meals as the body uses throughout the day what it needs. I don't see the need to eat at 10pm if one is going to bed straight after? Perhaps rompoc you could help me out with this? I like to eat my calorie dense meals during the day when I am active, my dinner tends to be lighter and…

  • From what I have learned, the body doesn't have use for more than 40-45g of protein per sitting... Anyone else heard that? I'm over on my protein too, but I feel it helps contribute to lean muscle mass. Just my two cents ;)

  • Another thing to try would be to ensure that you are pairing a protein and fat at every sitting... Depending on when throughout your day you do card, then add the carb to the meal beforehand, So, if you workout in the morning, have a complex carb with your breakfast such as a flax seed wrap, or a whole wheat/oat bread with…

  • Have you tried telling them" I have this goal to be healthier and would like to try and stay on my path" sort of spiel? I find that if I tell people that I'm watching what I eat, they are usually respectful of my decision - I bet they will be! I grew up in an Italian family and lately I get the " What's wrong with you,…

  • There are a few different types of splits that you can try... and switching up every few weeks sounds like a good idea! ( I personally am going to try that!) Let me know if you need some ideas for meal plans, I've got plenty!

  • Cheat Meal versus Cheat Day..... It's not so much the caloric intake that might set you off course, but more so the longterm effects of it.... It teaches your brain to gorge for a full day. Many people can't stop at just one day, and if they do manage, it sets a gloomy mood for a few days. If you can moderately have some…

  • So what are people's breakdowns? Do you do 1 carb up day every 3 days? Every week, have a carb morning every 2 days? Just interested in doing something different ;)

  • I heart sushi as well! I ditched the rice and eat all the sashimi such as spicy tuna, salmon and tako (octopus) sashimi. The other things that are GREAT for you is the seaweed salad, Gomae-e (spinach salad) and sunomono salads. Miso is high in salt... unless you water it down. Not really worth it IMO since there are way…

  • One simple rule I like to follow is this: Carbohydrates fuel our bodies! Carbohydrates are the main nutrient that fuels exercise of a moderate to high intensity, (such as HIIT training)while fat can fuel low intensity exercise for long periods of time. Proteins are generally used to maintain and repair body tissues, and…

  • isn't it shocking how 1200 goes so fast! I would skip the crackers and cheese, and try adding cheese (such as skimmed milk mozzarella, light bocconcini) to a hearty salad filled with mixed greens (or spinach), tomatoes, cucumbers, red or green pepper and maybe some asparagus.The greener, the better. Hummus is also a great…
