I know that to put on muscle I need to eat more cals…

Benefits to Coconut Cream (Canned Stuff)
I'm seeing a lot of ice cream recipes that use coconut cream (let a can stand in the refrigerator so that the cream separates from the liquid). Most are saying using this is healthier than regular ice cream? Can anyone explain the benefits, if any?

Black Bean & Corn Salsa
I've wanted to share this recipe ever since I started visiting the forums. This is a go-to recipe for something healthy to eat that tastes great, even to those who aren't trying to lose weight.
