Calories fluid in tinned peaches
I'm currently experimenting with creatine. The only way to make it half palatable is to mix the powder with the sticky juice from tinned peaches. The calories of the peaches is 66kcal/100gr drained. Any suggestions for the liquid? I'd guess it's about the same, or even more, but I have no idea.

Edit database entry gone?
what the heck? I can't edit database entries anymore! Searched for a specific type of sauerkraut, which was in the database a few times but always without fiber. Wanted to add fiber. Was only allowed to click that the info is correct or not correct but not add data!

Is it new that people expect the forum to read their minds?
I'm a bit desperate and wonder if this was the same some 10 years ago. People posting: How do I gain 1kg? Why is my unnamed device off? Does ABC work? Tell me low cal meals. Give me a sports programme. Nothing else. Just a short sentence. I could probably reply to 5 or so similar threats every day, and considering there…

Chicken wings: calories with or without bone
So I have a pack of chicken wings with barbecue spice (likely not an extremely calorie dense glaceing as in the US, but not sure). Calories are 188kcal per 100gr raw. Is this with or without bone? The packaging doesn't say

Yep, lets do that.
Been injured for too long, and have something planned (not saying what - public forum) where being smaller than I am now would be beneficial. Note, I'm not quite overweight but preferred to stay on this somewhat higher weight over the past year or so, but it's too much for 'this'. Thus here goes! Start signal ->🔫

Calling all cookbook lovers
I have about 50 cookbooks all across the spectrum. What most have in common is that they are full of flavour and mostly weeknight suitable or dishes that are easy to cook in batch and freeze, like soups and stews. Got my 13th month salary a few days ago and went crazy on cookbooks. Basically I bought a lot of things from…

Turning homesteader's new england baked beans into stew: what veggies to add?
Looking for veggie ideas. Tomorrow and for the following days I want to cook a stew based on a homesteader's new england baked beans kind of dish. I have no idea what the original is, but the recipe I have is a bit sweeter than the original according to the text, also contains smoked paprika. I'll add shredded chicken and…

Testosterone and calorie needs
So here it is: my big secret. 🏳️🌈 I'm on testosterone now. I'm non-binary and I'm planning top surgery, and I want to see what T does to me and how I feel with it. Not sure I'll stay on it though. I tried to figure out what T alone means with regards to calorie expenditure, but could not find a lot of info in the…

Lets talk glycogen stores - in non-athletes/women
I'm trying to find some information on the size of glycogen stores in normal people, and here especially in women. I know that the liver can store a substantial amount of glycogen, and the muscles have a lower concentration, but of course the amount of muscles is higher than the 'amount' of liver. With this I want to know…

Scapular winging: strengthening exercise
So yeah, you probably know I had a bad shoulder accident. Things are getting better. One thing still not ok is strength around the scapular on one side: there's winging, it's a bit too far away from the spine and when lifting up the arm the shoulder still rolls a bit to the front. And that reduces strength in that arm. I…

Damn you, 2022
Just a quick note because I'm super frustrated. I really wanted to run 300km from October to end of December. Things didn't look good due to being sick a few times too often but hey, there was still a chance this might happen. Last week Monday I had a wonderful and surprisingly fast run. Thought I might get a year best and…

Wow, amazing diet cookbook! (yeah, right)
Oh dear... I just found this cookbook, promising a healthy 2-3lbs/week weightloss, without rushing it, eating 900-1500 calories per day :o

Looking for core exercises without arms and little legs
My core has lost pretty much all strength. I'm currently doing physio for my slowly healing shoulder and am not allowed yet to do things like pushups/crawls/any lift or any other weights. I just started running again and don't want to wreck my legs too much. Any ideas? So far I found: Leg raises, dead bugs (need to be…

Garmin, what did you smoke?!?
My physio gave me some rather strenuous exercises for shoulder and upper back today next to some slow lat pulldowns and rows. The most difficult for me were mountain climbers. Yeah, I am deconditioned after 8 months of doing very little. Garmin counted the whole workout as anaerobic capacity (I guess the interval nature of…

OMG, I cooked coffee for the first time in my life today!
To preface: I drink tea. I drink an awful lot of tea. And water. Coffee is yucky. And then I every now and then had a cup from a streetstall somewhere in the Balkans, or on the Arabian peninsular. And actually, it's quite nice: strong, creamy and rather rich in sediment. So today I went to a wee Turkish shop around the…

Recent odd posts
Does anyone else notice an increase in posts with helpful texts by users with names such as xdf8esdfs32s? It nearly looks like people are trying to use ChatGPT with a bot to automatically post to forums. I see the same kind of posts in other forums as well. Thoughts?

Calories strength training
For my rehab I'm doing strength training. Of course I need to nourish my body sufficiently, but I also don't want to gain weight. I know strength training doesn't burn a ton of calories, but if you do something everyday it can easily add up. Anyone fancy a guess? Warning: High volume, low weight Pull day: Bendover barbell…

Feeling stupid in a sauna
I'm treating my fractured upper arm joint to some sauna sessions after trying to swim and some exercises. This is followed by a very thorough massage. I normally don't do sauna, or just went to one attached to a pool where everyone would sit in their bikini/swimming trunks. In this bath there are 5 saunas spread over a…

Deltoid exercises (if you can't lift up your arms and are weak)
So yeah. My deltoid is shot due to having fractured my proximal humerus. I'm allowed to do everything as long as it doesn't hurt. Obviously I still have physio, but we're currently trying to figure out what causes problems and what doesn't. Bone is stable. But I can't lift up my arm 180 degrees non-passively due to having…

Autoimmune diet - what is it?
Side-tread for not wanting to steal a tread from someone else. TO is eating an autoimmune diet for possibly autoimmune arthritis and avoiding gluten, dairy and sugar. I'm just assuming TO is in the US, but not sure. This is quite the opposite to what doctors recommended my central European mom, and my sister for autoimmune…

Anyone else eat rolled oats with yogurt etc cold?
I once bought a pack of rolled oats for cookies. Found out I didn't like them, and then wondered what to do with them. So I mixed some oats with skyr and added some mixed fruits I had at that moment. Since then I have oats with skyr (40 and 88gr) with raisins and whatever fruit I have. The idea of cooking oats with milk…

Would you consider liposuction for those pockets of fat that don't vanish?
This is something I'm considering since I found out it's not all that expensive. I have two super annoying accumulations of fat on my body that don't react to weight loss at all. a) around my ankles. Thought it was encapsulated hematomas and scar tissues from spraining my ankles far too many times. After scan doc is…

Winter: how not to freeze when working out?
Just wonder if someone else has the same problem: I ran for 90 minutes at just below freezing today. The whole 90 minutes my arms and legs were cold, and once I got home I slipped into bed with my electric mattress cover on full power. I was so cold I didn't even notice this. Took a shower on highest temperature and was…

Very minor surgery: nope, no exercise for now.
Ugh.. so I had minor surgery yesterday afternoon: a huge lipoma was removed from my outer ankle. Cut turned out to be bigger than planned because it would not pop out in one go but fell apart. Pain is not really present but I still am not allowed to exercise for at least a week, possibly longer. Well.. wearing shoes is…

This is a nice community...
Whoa, now that's interesting! I'm seeing a pattern here: Apparently I'm not allowed to say that I don't see a reason for buying premium when a user asks as my post ends up in 'your post needs to be approved' limbo. Which of course it won't. And apparently I'm also not allowed to write about this as the thread gets deleted.…
