Interesting that some of the MuscleTech bars are hated - which flavor and type of bar did you have?

I've had this one:...

Take:
1 small avocado
1 scoop vanilla egg protein (I use ON)
1 small can evaporated milk (5oz, NOT sweetened-condensed)
2-3T splenda

Blend and then churn in your ice cream machine. Makes 1...

Honky,
Refeeds can be carb-cycling, or just a "free day" as it is called in Body For Life, or a "cheat day" as it is known on these forums. Essentially you eat more than maintenance-level calories...

Has anyone used refeeds to help raise metabolism & appetite when trying to 'repair' disordered eating habits?

I've been undereating for years, and ironically it has paid off in the last 9 months...

If the flaxseed oil tastes bitter and kind of smells like linseed oil (used in painting), then the oil you have is RANCID and not good to eat, anyway.

If fresh, it should taste light and kind of...

I am very curious about this as well. I'd like to use whey and/or soy (which I do NOT fear for its estrogen-binding properties) to make baked bars. Egg protein is too volatile when baked (makes the...

Yes, the Builder bars are good - if you like the "crispy-soy-rice" 2-layer thing. My favorite flavor is cookies & cream. They also don't have too many weird chemicals in them, by virtue of being...

I've been eating way too many of the Apex/LeanBalance protein cookies lately. They taste damned good (for a protein product, of course), and eating a cookie is a helluva lot better than a...

Just got some of these and they are decent - I have the oatmeal cookie flavor. Taste like a "not as good" Clif bar, and a bit drier. However, they pack a crapload more protein than a Clif bar does,...

I've made two different protein bars in the last week, and here they are, with commentary. Note that I use a scale for this type of cooking, it definitely makes my results more consistent.

LOL! That's the best part of adding egg whites to oatmeal, I agree. *grin*

Porridge rules.

As a side question, I have definitely noticed that when I stir whey protein into oatmeal when it is...

Tall Americano "with room", then about an ounce of half & half added.

Their drip coffee is far too overroasted for me, so the espresso is a decent substitute.

If there's any doubt in your mind that whey protein might not be "as good" after exposing it to heat of X degrees, why not just use egg protein powder in all the applicable recipes, like oatmeal and...

The longest-lived of the Japanese are the Okinawans, and there is at least moderate speculation that their diet is only part of the equation - the key factor in their long lifespan could be low total...

You could also have really messed-up hormones in addition to the low body fat causing the amenorrhea, which could be idetified with blood tests.

Do some internet searches on:
"estrogen dominance"...

How many calories do you eat per day when not dieting, and how many when you are dieting?

If you know, what is the carb/protein/fat amounts in those two numbers, as well....?

This is a rendition of the classic pancake known in Chicago as the Dutch Baby. It cooks in the oven and POOFS up, then deflates when you serve it. So, like a souffle, except its supposed to shrink....

Just wanted to throw my question/scenario out there and see if I can get some feedback from ya'll. Here's all the basic info to chew on:

Previously: 30 yr female, 134lbs (steady for about 10...

The PB and Cinnamon Raisin flavors are OK, but the one with chocolate chips really stands out. Also, its NOT coated, so mostly melt-proof.

FYI, they sell these in a 55g size at Trader Joe's, but...

I'm actually not a fan of coated bars, as they melt when I forget them in my car/purse/wherever. It of course explains my obsession with recreating the Balance Almond Brownie flavor (the only...
