Healthy, tasty, quick, high cal food?
Hi everyone, I swim, cycle, and I am soon going to do rowing exercises. I'm burning quite the calories. I'm having trouble eating it back... Today my total daily goal was nearly 5,000. I'm using shakes as quick calories. Usually milk+oatmeal+cacao; sometimes I add whey and dextrose, it depends. But the shakes are not…

Questions about your weight gain
Counterpart of "Questions about your weight loss". Sometimes I feel like nearly all people look at MPF as a weight loss app. To me, it's to keep track if I'm getting enough nutritions. So; 1. How much weight have you gained? 2. What did you start at? 3. How tall are you? 4. How many calories did you eat daily? (approx) 5.…

I swear by this shake! Meal replacement.

Calling her unattractive
Well, not calling her unattractive as for who she is, but something she does or says. A friend brought this up one time, and I thought it was time to put it to practice. So I asked a girl I met last week the following question: "Chocolate or Caramel?", to which she responded; "Depends. I'd rather have espresso with caramel…

Did someone say pool?
I just started competition swimming again! And man am I stoked. It has been since I was a kid (well, at the age of 21 some old people would still call me kiddo..) that I swam competitions and once more I'm game. Vigorous trainings for 4 to 5 times a week are no exceptions, and competitions around the country are again a…
