    Do you have to brown the turkey first… before putting it in the crockpot or can you just throw the turkey in the crockpot raw and just cook it from raw???

    I saw this and was wondering the same thing . I’m thinking it was a typo and that we go by what the meal plan shows- to eat meal 5(or the post workout meal)… as the last meal of the day on non training days

    Diana….Per My fitness pal: “Squash, summer, zucchini, includes skin, cooked, boiled, drained without salt” 1 cup sliced zucchini = about 27 calories, 4.8 carbs. That roughly equals 150grams (COOKED)… hopefully that helps 🙂

    I’ve had more bloating during phase 2 then I did in phase 1. Not sure why but it can be frustrating because you can’t really see the hard work you’ve put in. I’m wondering if it’s due to the increase in veggies… eating 2 cups worth of spaghetti squash daily.

    I have a smith machine at home. I set the bar on a low setting and used it to loop the band around just behind me. This made the band long enough to do tricep extensions.

    That is a great idea!!! I’m
    Gonna give it a try next week?

    Wow… thanks for tips on making it yourself… knowing me I’d mess it up! I did find some grass fed ghee butter at store but yeah…. not cheap but should last for a long while?

    oh perfect! I would have never thought to look in the baking aisle or the oils… who knew… I was looking with the other refrigerated butter. Thank You :-))

    or if we cant find Ghee butter where we live – any thoughts on what I’d use instead of it? Regular Butter?

    Samantha- I also ordered the ones listed above from amazon and yeah… they are too short for the standing triceps extensions…. so… will have to figure out something else for that move. Frustrating when you order something and it doesn’t work 🙁

    Personally I just put it in a ziplock bag and put in the fridge and use the next day. The cut end can get a little brown but other then that it’s fine.

    I did find ground chicken breast and the fat was 1g per 4oz serving.. which was the same as the ground turkey. Yay 🙂

    I just bought ground chicken breast and compared it to the nutrition label of ground turkey- extra lean- and the nutrition values were the same. And the ground chicken is way cheaper! I’d say just make sure your getting Lean ground chicken and compare the nutrition label to the extra lean ground turkey.

    Weird… I’ve been a member of Planet fitness for many years and I do bodybuilding style workouts and never ever been told that… in fact it seems like most people at the gym, are doing “bodybuilding” type workouts. But yeah, the judgment free zone slogan is a little misleading.

    Heather- I wondered about that as a lot of the reviews I read complain about the piling… guess for as expensive as they are they shouldn’t do that!
