How do you prevent yourself feeling like you got hit by a truck in the morning?
I've asked this question a million times, on a million forums. Basically, nothing makes my body feel quite as sore and beat up as TKD. Particularly after a night of sparring, but even in general TKD tends to be very high energy, high impact, full body training that leaves me saying "ugh" in the morning. It's not like…

What are your current goals, what little things are you working on?
Even if we all practice different martial arts, we all have goals. Things we are trying to perfect. Bad habits we're trying to break. New moves we're trying to master. My current self made goal list involves - Throwing/practicing more roundhouse head kicks. I've been relying on axe kicks but they're too slow. - Making sure…

Protein Popcorn
I'm a big fan of ICON's protein popcorn (yuuum). MyProtein recently started reselling it as well, and someone in a facebook ad posted this recipe in the comments. I haven't tried it yet but it sounds like the coconut oil might do a good job of recreating that thick candy like coating of the ICON meal's version. When I try…

I'm frustrated, tired, and hangry. [rant]
I'm so hangry I feel like I could rip someone's face off with my fingers. "Just eat more" "increase your calories" "You need to eat more xyz" "drink more water" blah blah, I don't care. After 130lbs I've been trapped in a quagmire of gaining and losing the same 10lbs over and over, always staying around 15lbs away from my…

Five weeks, no going off the diet plan.
Is this the place to post this? I've committed myself to 5 weeks of sticking to my plan. I lost 130lbs with pretty much no "cheating" then developed a bit of a binge cycle the past couple of months that has caused my weight to stagnate into maintenance. So to reinvigorate my efforts, and re-commit to my goals, I'm…

Your favorite kitchen gadgets for cooking?
Obviously not including digital scales :) I'm pretty fond of my stove top pressure cooker, as well as my pampered chef "chopper". I use the chopper quite a bit.

Is there a way to extend oil? Is there a such thing as low cal oils for things like scampi/stir fry?
As per title. So, I'm planning on making a shrimp scampi like meal this weekend but it's a little high in calories. Are there any ways to cut down on the calories from the butter and oil? It's going to be served over pasta so the pasta is going to need the butter/oil as a sauce. I can't really think of any ways to reduce…

Best pedometer for Nexus 5x phone that will use internal pedometer?
I read that my nexus 5x has a built in pedometer but not all apps will take advantage of. I'm like.... 60% sure the "google health" app will use it but I couldn't figure out how to use it or how to connect it to my MFP account. Does anyone else have a nexus 5x or phone with built in pedometer that they can recommend? My…

So, uh... why do strangers keep telling me "good job" while running?
I'm assuming I must look like a complete idiot while I'm running or something that people are saying this to me, but maybe it's common? I have been running (well, jogging, my pace is still slow, I can jog 13 minute mile for an hour plus, still working on speed), I've been at this for about a month now. A bunch of times on…

I have no idea how many calories I'm burning.
I typically don't log my weight lifting sessions that last 30-45 minutes. My cardio sessions are usually low intensity (stationary bike, elliptical, walking, once in a while running slow), and the figures I get are all over. The MFP database says an hour of elliptical is like 600 calories, the Elliptical its self tells me…

Easy Whey Protein Brownie Recipes that are chewy and fudgey?
I have two obsessions lately. Brownies, and birthday cake batter. I want to make birthday cake flavored blondies. There are two recipes I'm looking at, and I'd love to know if anyone has similar ones they can attest for. This is the recipe I want to try most, I will use birthday cake flavored ON whey instead of vanilla…

Tomorrow's calories tonight: Damage control from late night eating. Fast, or let it slide?
I did it again. I've been awesome about calories. The scale was finally moving down again. I'm looking leaner than I ever have in my life. But I think calories were too low and I ran into my new personal demon, "banking calories". Banking calories seems to work for a lot of people but for some reason, for me personally, it…

What is "Ranch"? What is "Birthday Cake"?
How would I recreate these flavors as seasonings from scratch? It took me forever to figure out that "philly cheese steak flavoring" like hotpockets has is carmalized onions and peppers in provolone. I've looked at the back of ranch seasoning packets and I'm not understand where the distinct flavor comes from. I'm also…

Does miracle noodle taste any good? (shirataki noodles)
I tried quest nutrition's brand a while back and thought they were absolutely aweful, tasted like dead rotten fish to me. But the other day I picked up some nosoya brand shirataki from walmart and turns out.... I love them! Amazon sells cases of miraclenoodle brand shirataki noodles, and I was hoping someone who has tried…

How do I share a photo on my feed to friends from the website version?
I can do it from my phone, but I'd like to be able to share photos to my feed from the desktop website. Is that possible?
