Anyone Try Bolthouse Farms Smoothies? Healthy or Not
I've tried a few in the past few weeks and they're good, but it's hard to determine if they're "healthy" or not. Of course they're marketed as such but the Protein Plus ones can run upwards of 190 calories, 24g sugar for 8oz serving, but also has 16g of protein for the same amount.…

Do you take CLA?

Signed up for my first (EVER) 5-K
I've signed up for my first (EVER) 5-K. The Color Me Rad 5-K (www.colormerad.com/) I don't run. I've never ran.

A group of co-workers are…

Do you drink protein when/after working out?
I drink protein after I work out, read several articles that it helps deliver protein to the muscles after working out. I'm not body building, but I do several sets of weights. Mostly for arms, chest/shoulders and back. Then I do about 30-45 mins cardio. I usually drink the already-made shakes (due to simplicity) but today…

Is Protein Good for Losing Weight?
I usually have a protein smoothie (like a small muscle milk or my own made smoothie) and greek yogurt and fruit in the morning for breakfast.

Is Ground Turkey really that good for you?
I just made some turkey tacos with a small tube of Butterball ground turkey. But the tube is like 1,000 (for a small tube) but yet the taco kit I got (Old El Paso says that for 2 tacos, 2 tbsp salsa, 2 tbsp seasoning and filled with 2 tbsp lean ground beef is only 250 calories). But yet the ground turkey is almost over 300…

HUNGER!!!

I'm so freakin' hungry & I try all the "this should fight hunger" tactics like drinking lots of water and having enough protien & taking vitamins but the hunger is my downfall.
