Injury weight gain
This morning I stood on my scales for the first time in a couple of weeks and looked at a number that was almost exactly the same as it was previously. This isn't exactly a huge surprise as I have had a (mostly planned) up and down couple of weeks, however the last section of which involved me throwing my knee out playing…

Motorbikes and fitness trackers
Hi all, I've recently started commuting on a motorbike. I wear a fitbit (charge 2) and I've noticed it's started telling me I've burnt significantly more calories in a day. This appear to be because my heart rate spikes massively when I'm riding, making my fitbit think I'm doing exercise. Now I know you do burn more…

Preventing/Easing DOMS
So I was massively suffering from DOMS yesterday in my quads and then did a class on top of it which completely killed them even more. And then this morning I woke up and they feel suspiciously good. Which worries me. I'm expecting tomorrow to be hell. So does anyone have any advise to relieve/reduce DOMS after a tough…

Huel and other meal replacement shakes
Hi all, I was thinking about trying out huel as a replacement for my breakfast because I think it would fit my lifestyle well. I start work early and I often find it difficult to eat before I leave for work, and I don't like eating breakfast at work, because it never really tastes as good and is a little messy (I'm a milk…

If you could choose how you die
Excuse the morbid thoughts, but this thought came into my head and it got me wondering about things more as a whole. Because yes, there's the funny answers, there's the touching answers, there's the slightly bleak answers. But I think most people don't actually think about what they would die of rather more of the…

Getting enough daily protein
So I've always struggled to get enough protein on a day to day basis, although recently I've been adding skyr yogurt into my diet that has been really helping. However, when I run out I often find it difficult to reach my minimum target of 70g/day, especially if I'm on a meat free day (I try to go meat free once a week) My…

Sorry, how many servings per packet?
Excuse the rant. So in almost every supermarket I've shopped in, you can buy those packets of fresh tortellini. They're yummy, and freeze well. Perfect for a lazy dinner. Wonderful. One packet does two people for a nice filling meal. And recently I've noticed that the calories per serving seems to be lower than I remember…

Log it for today or leave it as yesterday?
Yesterday I cooked dinner, weighed and logged it all, and started to eat it. Near the end of the meal I realised I wasn't hungry any more and stopped eating, leaving a small portion of rice left. Perfect to put into my lunch today. I've left it logged as yesterdays dinner, and now today's lunch looks really light. So what…

Need some motivation
Been a kinda rubbish few days, I've been really bad at logging my food, and when I'm doing it later, I'm over my target. I'm not massively over, and it's probably within my maintenance range, but it's still pretty disheartening. I'm finding it hard to find the motivation to keep logging my meals as I'm going. I normally…

Saying hello
Good morning all! Thought I should probably introduce myself if I actually wanted to start posting on here. Anyhoos, not quite sure what I should put in this introductory post, so I'll go with the standard: Age: 26 Gender: Female Height: 160cm (ish, maybe just under) Starting weight: 75kg (19/4/2018) Current weight: 71.9kg…
