Should I bother with protein powder?
I've been having a little trouble getting in enough protein lately. I'm a softball player in off season right now, so I'm lifting three to four times a week. Using protein powder post-workout seems like a good idea, BUT I'm not sure what kind to use. Also, I follow a mostly clean diet, and I'm not too keen on dumping…

I'm going to Bruster's tonight, and they have sugar free, fat free ice cream on the menu, but I don't know if it's any good. Has anyone had it?

How do you cook your veggies?
I've always been a card-carrying vegetable hater, but as I'm expanding my diet I'm reeeeally trying to change that. Lately I've realized that I like vegetables in soups, when they're cooked nice and soft. Like, no need to chew, it melts in your mouth soft. I'm planning to try some vegetable soups and pot pie recipes, but…

Heart Rate Monitors and Fitness Trackers...
I have been looking at getting a Fitbit Flex to track my calorie expenditure, but it seems that it wouldn't be accurate for my workouts (I'm pretty diverse—running, lifting, circuits, etc.).

Quick Lunch Ideas
Hi all, I'm a college softball player, so my schedule tends to be a bit hectic. I usually only have ten to twenty minutes between class and practice to cram in lunch. Sadly, this usually means a peanut butter banana sandwich and nuts. Does anyone have any healthy lunch ideas I could throw together in just a few minutes? Or…

Almond Milk
I've never had almond milk, but I'm planning to try some next time I got to the store. Should I get plain or vanilla? Vanilla initially sounded better, but I'm wondering how it would taste in things like alfredo sauce. Has anyone tried it in savory foods?

Peppers
So I've recently decided I'd like to incorporate more peppers into my diet. I'm a fan of semi-spicy food and have seen numerous articles outlining the health benefits of peppers, but I grew up in a southern home with wonderful buttery, fatty food and a limited variety of fruits/veggies, and I'm not sure which types to try.…
