My cholesterol number on MFP is toasted after my 4 eggs in the morning.

Black coffee is pretty much calorie free.

IMO, it's a bit irresponsible (and perhaps even dead wrong) to intimate that locally produced poultry is somehow safer than mass produced.

Favorite breakfast is good corned beef hash with over easy eggs on top. Usual breakfast is a couple cups of chopped fresh spinach sauteed/wilted then mixed with 4 eggs and 1 egg white into some primitive sort of omelet. Hot sauce or salsa on top and a piece of fruit on the side.

C2 Rower is my favorite way to warm up entire body before a strength workout. It's also my favorite way to do HIIT. I usually stick to the elliptical for LISS or MISS cardio.

Every menu could have a little QR code next to the dish with all the nutrition info. I'd be surprised if some restaurant hasn't done this already.

I'm in the Gilbert area and have found Costco to be the least expensive for my roasted almonds. Trader Joe's is next and they have a large selection.

I weigh every morning under the same conditions and sometimes I'm 2 lbs heavier than the day before...even after good nutrition days. It would cause me more mental anguish if the odd high weight day were on a weekly weigh-in.

The old thinking of saturated fats being evil is coming under more and more scrutiny. I'd rather eat, natural fat (of any kind) over any processed fat. Not to mention the host of ingredients required to make some low-fat foods stable. http://www.drweil.com/drw/u/QAA400919/Rethinking-Saturated-Fat.html

An ounce of almonds is 170 cals. How about full fat or low fat cottage cheese or yogurt? Although that's more filling. I've found that the almonds are the perfect way to exactly dial in my calories at the end of day...usually eaten with a bowl of cottage cheese.

I found this odd when I signed up too. You can customize it to your preference at GOALS > CHANGE GOALS > CUSTOM. Lots of people like the 40 - 30 - 30 (PCF) breakdown. I'm more sensitive to carbs so I eat fewer (20%) and upped the fat to 40%.

Sounds like a plan. You may consider skipping the cardio (after you drop the fat from last week) if you're really trying to add weight. Why eat the extra calories just to burn them off again? Some might say it's unhealthy, but I know my heart gets a heck of a workout when I'm lifting heavy. At most, I'd add some sort of…

Not that you're old, but something like GOMAD will work much better on a hormone filled 18 year old than you. It's tough for guys in their 30's to add muscle and something like you tried surely added some muscle...along with a few pounds of fat. You can't just add muscle no matter how you do it. Fat always comes along for…

As others have said, go to a running store and get fitted. I've found their prices aren't much, if any higher than the sporting goods stores. Last time I got a discount by buying the previous year's model when the new ones were out. Usually, it's the same shoe, just a different look.

Trader Joe's has some great and inexpensive (under $2) PB. No added sugar. Only ingredient is peanuts...well salt too if you get the salted variety. We find if you keep it at room temp until opened, thoroughly mix at first use and then refrigerate, it doesn't separate. Storing it upside down until the first use is helpful.

I'd say don't be afraid of fat. You're not going to get 2300 cals eating steamed broccoli and grilled chicken. Nuts, seeds, dairy, avocados, eggs are all better than any processed food. Add a few extra teaspoons of olive oil to whatever you're cooking or salads too.
