I got skirt steak to try! Looks good forward to marinating it today and seeing what happens, otherwise I will fork out a little extra for the filet! Yum!
I also don’t have a lying leg curl at my gym- would a seated leg curl machine work, or would a lying dumb bell curl be best?
Hi Naomi,
I’m wondering a little more what the structure of the challenge is. Will it be a 5 day split similar to the 60 day challenge, or is there more (or less) gym time?
JolandaI forgot to eat this afternoon and then realised why I was feeling so terribly tired!! Eating helped 🙂
Hi Nicole,
Thanks for the clarification!
I think there is a wide variety of protein powders out there, that might be messing with macros.
What kind of protein powder are you using to get those macros? I use:
1scoop= 30g, 110cal, 27g protein, 1g carb, 0g fat. Is this similar?
Thanks!Hey Melissa,
I’m on mealplan 3 as well and also struggled with the macros! My protein and fats were too high, and my carbs too low. I changed the plan to eat according to the cals and macros (4oz fish, 4oz chicken both meals, 3oz sirloin; increased rice to 3/4C both meals) and that is a bit closer to what is suggested, but still off. Not sure if this was the correct thing to do….Try Vega sport protein powder. It’s pricy but the quality is food and the flavours are awesome. I’m using a non soy vegan powder from Costco (canada) with 19g of protein per scoop.
Good topic!
I was thinking of first browning them in a casserole and then putting them in the oven with the lid on to keep them moist. Or maybe steam them in my pressure cooker?I bet the slow cooker would work well! I guess I would just spray the inside with non-stick spray and then add a little water to the bottom to make sure it doesn’t burn. Or cook them on a bed of cabbage that you toss after? Just a thought… Let me know what works for you!
Hi Nicole! I’m also a new member here 🙂 Love, love, love all the information here and you are totally inspirational.
My question is very similar to Matt’s (above). I enjoy running – as much for my physical body as for my mental well-being- but I struggle balancing weight training with running. I mostly run half marathons, but am training for a full this coming May and run 4-5 days a week (mostly slow/ lower HR steady state running).
How do I balance weight training to stay injury free, maintain muscle and bone density (I’m now in my 40s) and keep my energy levels without over-training or burning out?
It’s something I’ve struggled with for many years so any insight would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Jolanda
