Breakfast Conundrum
Breakfast usually consists of egg white omelette (1 while egg and 3 egg whites, veggies, ham, FF cheese), piece of toast with almond butter or PB2. Issue is I'm so hungry an hour later! No idea why, as calorie-wise it's fairly "hefty" and I'm getting a decent ratio of fat/protein/carbs. And when I say hungry, I mean…

Diastasis Recti
Hi all, had baby #2 6 months ago and this time around I had a 4 1/2 finger gap postpartum. Yikes! I've been doing DR-friendly an exercises to close it and I'm down to a 1 1\2 finger gap (woohoo!). My question is: I feel like my tummy is still so weak and building lean muscle seems impossible. Normal??? I don't want to…

Vegetarian (Pescatarian) and Protein
Good morning! I'm having trouble meeting my protein goals, and would love some ideas please. Legumes, seitan, veggies, occasional fish, quinoa, etc... are staples right now for getting my protein. I don't eat soy, so that limits me. I'm eating approx 85/130g of protein daily, but would like to bump that up without trashing…

Craving sugar
OK, so this is weird...I don't like sugar. And I mean, AT ALL. Don't drink soda, don't put anything sweet in my coffee, don't eat candy or chocolate, even some fruits are too sweet for me. I just don't like it. I do love some nutritionless carbs though! But lately I'm seriously craving all things sugar and worthless carbs…

How important is variety??
Hi all! OK, variety is my question. I tend to stick to certain staples in my daily diet, and don't usually change it up much. Is varitety important? Now, by variety I don't mean variety througout the day (I already do that). I mean variety on a weekly/daily basis. As in, is it ok to eat the same stuff almost daily provided…

Chalean Extreme vs. Turbo Fire
Alrighty folks, need some help. I'm sick of what I've been doing, and really want to try Chalean Extreme or Turbo Fire, but can't decide which. I want a program that incorporates cardio and strength training (all rolled into one). My issues: KNEES! I have crazy-bad knees (as in, I only have 30-40% of the cartilage I should…

Samoa Cookie Alternative
Hi all! Just wanted to share that I tried Kellog's Fiber Plus with Antioxidant bars the other day, and the caramel/coconut/chocolate bars taste JUST like Samoas (but have just 120 cals per bar)!! I looooove me some Girl Scout cookies so I was overjoyed to find them, just figured I'd share! Cheers! :heart:

Burnout!
Hey all! Here's the rather lengthy story: Finished P90X back in August, then started grad school and did not a thing until January. Then did Slim in 6 and finished it, so I moved on to 30-Day Shred. I don't like the shred, I just don't feel like I'm getting a great workout. So I started Insanity and HOLY COW it just…

Holy Hunger, Batman!
The last three weeks or so have gone a little weird for me: My hunger is completely OUT OF CONTROL! The first couple of months I had a hard time eating all my calories because I just wasn't hungry and couldn't force myself to eat it all. So now here we are and I am so hungry most days. I upped my calories and carbs (by 100…
