Avalanche Kids Sugarfree Cocoa Chocolate Drinking Mix. Saw this on special at Coles. Tastes good with plain Chobani.

Macros per 100g serving: 2.1p 1.2f 7.9c

These are the exact same as vitarium choc drinking mix.. Been out for months if not years now. Be sure to add sugar alcohols, macros are higher than stated

? No Doz ? You should be able to find them everywhere.
Failing that most healthfood stores and supplement stores will have some in one form or another.

It's far cheaper to order a couple of bottles of caffeine pills on here than to buy no doze at the chemist.

Anyone have a source for organic meat? Specifically organic chicken and pork. I simply can't eat the disgusting, grotesque-sized chicken breasts from the grocers any more, fawk me. Made a pack last night and each breast was bigger than my hand. Disgusting. Nearly puked eating that ****e.

Preferably the Wollongong, NSW area, or even up to Sydney if need be (or further down the south coast in the Shoalhaven and such).

Cheers

Not sure if these have been posted here as I don't come here that often.. butttt:

Melbourne peeps looking for Walden Farms sauces and dressings, theres a shop near the CBD at 21 Peel Street called "I'm Sugar Free" selling them for $6.95 a bottle. Some other goodies there too.

I'm not to sure eating a smaller sized chicken breast is going to stop you puking.
Regardless, ask you butcher for 'organic' or you can buy it at any supermarket (though the price will be jacked up).

Notice the first ingredient?

[VirusMinus]

Notice the first ingredient?

Yes?

[AlwaysTryin]

Yes?

As it's first, it means there's more of it than cocoa. So do you think it's only 0.01g and that there's less cocoa than that?

so whats the total count per serving then?

[Emma-Leigh]

so whats the total count per serving then?

If they state Macros per 100g serving: 2.1p 1.2f 7.9c
You have right there 2.1 + 1.2 + 7.9 = 11.2
That means ~ 88g of 'matter' is not accounted for.
Add in some token water (and I say token because it's a powder, so water content will be next to nothing) and the rest will be sugar alcohols.

Wow, so should I be counting it as an additional ~80g of carbs per 100g?

Depends on how you see sugar alcohols in your diet / macro's / calories...

All of the local grocery stores that I have been to, including several Coles, and Woolworths, have jack s***. The closest they have is free range which is complete garbage.

And it isn't the size necessarily of the chicken breast, it's the fact that I can only imagine the conditions and feed given to an animal that can grow that large, that quickly. It's nauseating.

It's gross. The pretzels are way too big and dry. Feels like I need a chisel + hammer too get into the tub.

[necon76]

This thread really died since AT stopped posting.

[Runningfan]

I actually though it was quite nice and I don't even like pretzels.

[adamrochester]

any one tried the coles pop corn ice cream or the gooey choc brownie one

Nothing special. Better ice creams out there and for much better calories.

While on the topic of Ice-Creams, How does the Connoisseur Choc honey Nougat rank up there?
Cookies and Cream is my go to, Just always hesitant to risk my 1 a week tub on a meh flavor.

Also they've got the kangaroo island flavor in 1L now.
