Since the 2020 Crossfit open was going on, I decided to give some of the scaled workouts a shot. Holy crap they are brutal(in a good way though). I did 20.5 this morning in…

Vegan results so far...

I had a physical on Monday and…

I know why my chest day suffered today :)
I went into the Gym today to do chest, I did it back on Sunday as well. Started benching and noticed the weight felt a little heavier than usual and didn't hit my numbers I hit on Sunday. I got home, checked my lifting logs, and then realized this was my 9th day in a row lifting heavy weights. Stupid me didn't take any…

creating recipes with erythritol and fiber, counting them properly?
I have been making some chocolate chip cookie cake bars, and have Truvia and Lilly's Dark Chocolate Chips in them. I don't believe the Carb count is correct, because it doesn't take into account Erythritol. How do most of you handle this?

Creatine, Sodium, and your Liver
Question for you guys, especially if you are an MD or PHD in nutrition. I have watched and read a ton about how great 5g creatine per day is for you, if you are bodybuilding / powerlifting.

Does it hurt not eating workout calories?
All of these discussions going around, are starting to make me think about my calorie intake. I am currently set to 1810 Calories per day(1lb / week loss). I do about 10 minutes of cardio to warm up the body, then hit weights for 40 - 50 minutes 6 days per week. Normally it calculates that around 500 - 600 calories(I know…
