"People are always blaming their circumstances for what they are. I don't believe in circumstances. The people who get on in this world are the people who get up and look for the circumstances they want, and if they can't find them, make them."

George Bernard Shaw

  3. Scott and Staci excellent... Staci - I give you credit squatting today after the brutality on Saturday. You are a beast!

    ReplyDelete
  4. haha thanks Tom! got a littl bit of a problem though...I been up since 5 and have been eating can honestly say I don't think I spaced out my servings of protein very well at all and bout to squat and I have a scoop of protein left 3 eggs and 1 container of chicken left for the rest of the day for protein...if i need it instead of having the egg whites that I posted is it cool to have a half container of beef or is that really going crazy with the protein?

    ReplyDelete
  5. Staci - it is OK for you to have as much as 2.5 containers of protein... not a good idea to have much more than that. If you want to switch eggs to beef that is fine and FYI about 4.5 egg whites is a 1/2 containers

    ReplyDelete
  11. Donna - is it the gluten that you can't have? If so, they make really good organic rice cakes and yes you can have those instead... also look into the spelt and hemp breads... be careful with gluten-free breads because they tend to be VERY high in calories due to their content

    The label says 1 serving (2 waffles) 39g of carbs. If I get hungry + used up my "nut snacks" what can I snack on or have besides veggies since I am trying to incorporate the veggies w my meals. Does a shake fit in this catagory w/o the fruit?

  42. Darren, if youre eating the rolled outs in the morning you can add your banana or some berries. This is how i like it: mashed banana, .5 scoop of harmonized protein and natural peanut butter all mixed together. you have to count the protein and fat as well.

    ReplyDelete
  43. Jennifer, if your using a teaspoon full it doesn't matter. The biggest mistake people make is globbing on the sauces. just need a tiny bit to add flavor.

  50. Barbara, i have never eaten there but i eat out all the time. you must make sure if it comes with a sauce they dont put it on. also, tell them no oil or butter. no dressing on the salad. i like lemon salt and pepper or plain balsamic vinegar on my salad. eating out is tricky. you may have to lie and say you are highly allergic to butter. they will slather it on everything.

  54. Barbara,

    I ate at the Market Yard Grille at The American Hotel right before the UTC began. I was pleasantly surprised. The place was packed. I had already completed the UTC one time, so I wold like to think I know how to order when out. My wife and I shared the Tuna and the Salmon dinners. The salmon I ordered with no sauce as it was a buerre blanc sauce and too heavy. The Quinoa there was GREAT! This was the first time I had it and it will be something new to try at home too. It looked like they had some good steak options too if you like that.
