Hey everyone, just poppin in to say Hi.

Calgary is relatively warm today and cloudy. Been hittin the gym harder lately and gonna get the christmas belly off.

[LithiuM23]

I only have a quarter of a teaspoon a day, 500mg and any other if it is in the food I eat...currently I have no condiments other than olive oil on a meal and now of course the little bit of salt.

That sounds delicious dee

As for the nutrition thing...I've been slacking a bit lately, but I'm slowly getting back on track.

At the moment anything chicken that I am allowed to put avocado with.

It is still not a natural peanut butter it has palm oil and sugar added so it will not seperate. I am not sure why they can label it as natural.

Calgary has actually been surprisingly warm this winter

I never really read the ingredients, by my trainer told me to eat it and he eats it himself, so I just go with it. Also, it does seperate and it's nasty when you first open the jar.

This.

Agreed. No reason why my wonderfully healthy food should be bland. That's what spices are for

Food does have flavor all on its own but I do still use no salt seasonings, pepper or sea salt and other things when I am not trying diet for a show.

shake the jar first before you open it. makes it easier to stir up.

I'm never going to diet for a show. Ever.

So, for me, slow and steady is > bodybuilding pre-show diets.

I just have to clean up what I eat, get more protons and less carbs. That's in my case, though.

Really? So that's how it is, eh? Just tell me that I have to eat chicken and broccoli for forever, and never get 3/4/5 on my big 3?

You're a jerk.

[BeingPaid]

Thank you.

Good morning to you too.

[LithiuM23]

You tell 'em!!

I plan on doing a pre contest diet once I lose another 40 lbs give or take a few. Might be hard to accomplish with a baby on the way though. We'll see!

There's a lot more to prep dieting than chicken and broccoli

[MatTheCur]

Yes. I know. I was making a point. I don't have the same need right now, and switching to a contest prep diet at this point would do me more harm than good.

I just need to get my macros under control, and let slow fat loss take over. Slow and steady, not a 6 weeks out deal.
