Protein After Workout
I am 5'5, 142 lb and just got done with a 60 minute cardio/strength training class where I burned 470 calories. Can anyone tell me how many grams of protein is optimal after my workout? I had a protein shake (25g protein) before my workout, but understand it's beneficial to consume protein after my workout as well. Thanks…

Does anyone smoke cigarettes?

I start work again on Wednesday and school starts on Monday. I'm worried that I will not be able to…

I need some motivational help!
I came across this site this evening in my search for healthy meals and motivation, and I think I've found the place for both. From what I've seen so far this site is awesome. I obviously don't have any friends on here yet - add me if you'd like! I am not severely overweight, but I'm not happy with my body and i know it's…
