Pumpkin Muffins
I doubled the batch. I use Dymatize cinnamon bun ISO- whey. I ground my Oats first (used coffee grinder) & mixed in bowl with hand beaters. Baked at 350 degrees in my silicone muffin pan (absolutely Love because no sprays/oils needed & they just pop right out) for 21 minutes. I weighed all muffins & divided by 2.
I’m currently baking a double batch using chocolate whey, which I added 2TBSPs cocoa & 1tsp chocolate extract. I’m sure my husband & kids will gobble these up!!!
If cardio is done in the morning, is there a recommended time to pass before strength training? For example, if steady state running is done from 8-8:45am, then meal 1 consumed, could strength training be done at 10:45am? Would that be enough time to regain energy for a good training session?
I drain with a tuna press, mix in a food processor (I think this helps with keeping it all mushed together) & bulk cook on a griddle.
Buffalo, NY here! Thankfully I’m not a fan of chicken wings! Career wise I’m a pharmacist, but my passion lies completely on well-care/preventative. I recently went part-time to allow more time with my husband & kids (10yr girl & 2yr boy). I am in the process of becoming a certified personal trainer, mostly for my own knowledge. I completed the 60day challenge & loved it, especially the socialization. Looking forward to the next 45days!
@Lee I use LoseIt too. I also did the 60day challenge. I’m finding my meals 4&5 are a bit off, but I know from the last challenge the chicken brand I use lists at higher protein & not all salmon is equal (pink salmon has less fat/omegas than Atlantic & can significantly change macros)
In Nicole’s IG story it mentioned a new challenge coming end of April– fingers crossed. I just completed the 60day & loved it!
I sometimes do, especially with foods that require a lot of chewing. I swapped out chicken in last meal for egg whites for this reason. Being sick doesn’t help either. Feel better soon!
If you go to the 60day challenge & click on cardio for phase 2, new information is provided which clarifies a lot of the questions.
Leg day– wowzaa! Did it all but thought I might lose it (as in breakfast) during mountain climbers!!! ?
I couldn’t decide between a burger & pizza, so we got both! ? Sadly, the pizza place messed up our order & gave us pineapple instead of pepperoni…sorry but not my style. Good thing my husband had a slice of our favorite chocolate cake for dessert. It was nice sharing the meal with my family. But, I noticed that I really wasn’t craving anything (reason why I started this post) nor did I feel the urge to binge!
Thanks for asking, Janet. I’ve encountered that problem too, especially on leg day with the squat racks.
The Ezekiel 4:9 English muffins are very similar macro-wise to the low-sodium bread. Only major difference is the sodium content.
I double checked my chicken label. It is from our local grocery chain. It states that 3oz cooked = 28g protein. How would you recommend making adjustments for this meal?
Thanks, Nicole. I’ve been following what I feel is correct (rice/pasta throws me off but I measure cooked & pretty sure conversions are correct). However, I am constantly over on protein. I’m supposed to have 165g but end up closer to 195g! I’m also a little short on carbs; fats are ok. I will manipulate macros tomorrow to try to get more toward daily goal.
I have a similar yet different situation. My PWO shake falls right before meal 2, which seems to be heavy on fats. I’ve always been told not to have higher fats PWO. What amount of time should elapse after my PWO meal? Is 2 hrs sufficient? Is there truth to what I’ve been told regarding fats PWO?
–thanks
