Eating over your protein but still the right number of calories (21 day fix )

I have never actively tried to bulk or used protein powder etc. I'm 133 lbs and trying to get to 120-125. My diary is open. I'm…

Blue Apron? or similar food delivery programs. What do you think?
Has anyone tried Blue apron or a similar food delivery program? I just got a free week from a friend and am going to check it out. It seems pretty pricey, you get groceries for 3 dinners for $60.

Marinades, healthy or not ?
So commonly we will make chicken and marinade it with the premade spice mixes you can buy at the grocery store and that taste great (i.e. Weber Grill, or Grill mates). The chicken sits in the marinade for about and hour and then most of it gets shaken off. But the marinade requires about 1/4 a cup of oil. Would you…

I'm thinking of buying my boyfriend a weight bench for his birthday. Unfortunately I never realized how many different options there are for this piece of gym equipment. Can anyone who lifts give me a suggestion for what you prefer for your home gym weight bench? He has lifted before but not in a while and so perhaps could…
