PROTEIN FOODS Locations

As the title implies, I’m seeking some opinions from the wise world of Reddit to help me crack the code getting some quality of life working 2nd shift. My hours are 4:30pm-1:30am (technically 1, but never get off on time). About a half hour commute to and from work, don’t get to sleep until about 3am. Wake up at 11, with barely enough time to run errands. Too tired to cook, but too cheap to buy fast food. So I live off whey Protein. Every weekend I’m off, it’s laundry, groceries, other errands, church, house cleaning that builds up over the week, it’s just me at home. So very little time to actually rest and destress. It will take years to get back on day shift. Until then, I hav...

Hi everybody — I have a 6-year-old pit bull mix who has had a sensitive tummy since he was a puppy. He randomly gets very pukey, has decreased as he got older. Usually, it lasts 1-1.5 days, and by the end he’s just bringing up bile. A 1-day fast typically helps reset everything. I’ve taken him to the vet in the past and they put him on hydrolyzed protein food, but we never really got any other answers. Hydrolyzed protein didn’t change anything tbh. This time he’s been vomiting for 2.5 days, so I took him to the vet. Bloodwork showed ALT 130 (normal 10-118) and CRE 1.7 (normal 0.3-1.4) They said he was dehydrated, gave him fluids and a Cerenia injection, and prescribed Cerenia for...

I’m 5’3, F and 155, BMI 27. I’ve lost a lot of weight, 40 with gym and exercise then an additional 75 with mounjaro (it was my last resort and it changed my life!). My goal weight is still a short while away around 126. I can manage 1200-1300 cals a day. I think I’m getting to the point now where I need to consider my muscle and tone, especially since I naturally have loose skin due to so much weight loss. I’ve been doing 10k steps a day / 30 mins on my treadmill and eat relatively healthy, around 50-60g of protein if I can (I don’t eat eggs or meat, minus chicken, so it’s largely shakes and other high protein food/drinks). I’ve not been the gym in over two years and I h...

Most people think self care means spa days and bubble baths. Cute, but nah. The real stuff? It’s silent, boring, and no one claps for it. But it changes you. A lot of us walk around exhausted, overstimulated, and quietly running on burnout mode. We don’t need more hustle culture pep talks. We need a reset. Not a productivity hack. A way to feel like ourselves again. These self care habits aren’t fluffy. They’re researched, tested, and actually work. Pulled from psychology studies, health data, podcast gems, and some wildly underrated books. If you're tired of feeling tired and just want to feel normal again, start here. 1. Go to sleep like your life depends on i...

Hi all -- I'm two weeks into taking the shots and have a question. I am hitting my protein / fiber (and drinking plenty of water) but it's coming in the form of multiple small snacks throughout the day. It's been a minute since I've had a typical hot dinner, and while I'm not hungry or worried about getting my nutrients, I guess it's a bit tricky to wrap my head about! The logical part of me knows I'm getting the food I need, just wondering if this is a common way people have gone about eating once they start this. It just feels so counterintuitive not to sit down and have a hot meal for supper and it's a wacky part of this I didn't really think...

Antioxidants are often marketed as the key to slowing aging—but the science shows a more nuanced picture. While antioxidants help protect against oxidative stress, large studies suggest that supplements alone don’t extend lifespan and, in some cases, may even interfere with normal cellular signaling. True longevity appears to come from a combination of factors: • Nutrition • Regular movement • Quality sleep • Stress management • Supporting cellular health We put together a deeper, science-based article explaining why balance matters more than megadoses and how lifestyle and cellular health work together. 📄 PMID: 10656531 (for anyone who wants to dive into the research)

Hey, I’m 18, a gym bro who genuinely loves training and eating good food. The gym is a big part of my lifestyle and I stay consistent. Physique-wise, I’m fit and well-proportioned overall. One of my strong points is my glutes, they respond really well to training, but my upper body is also solid and balanced, nothing lagging. Looking to: • Chat with like-minded people • Talk gym, training, nutrition, discipline • Maybe motivate each other and share routines If you’re into fitness, self-improvement, or the gym lifestyle, feel free to DM. Stay strong 💪

If you're doing everything right — lifting heavy, sleeping 8 hours, taking your supplements — but your blood sugar is quietly running high, you're sabotaging your GH output 24/7 without even knowing it. Most guys never check fasting insulin (doctors usually only test glucose), so this problem flies completely under the radar for years. Here's how it works and what your numbers should actually be. The mechanism in plain English: Your body runs on a simple seesaw: when insulin goes up, growth hormone goes down. This is by design — insulin tells your body "we have fuel, store it," while GH tells your body "mobilize fat and repair tissue." They're o...

This week I resumed work with an IE registered dietician whom I had seen a few times a couple years ago. Life was crazy and I had to take a break, but recently I've gone through bad restrict/binge cycles and realized I needed support to stop. We talked a lot about how restricting negatively affects the prefrontal cortex of the brain. I've been doing Internal Family Systems (parts work) with my therapist and it all kind of came together for me, in realizing that by restricting I was triggering my parts, and my inner children. She gently suggested that I needed to focus on nourishing myself (and all my parts) through regular eating. One thing we discussed was coming up with 3-4 sn...

Tl;dr: Complicated, picky, dog seems to have found his holy grail kibble but it makes his breath absolutely horrendous. How can I make it better? Long version: My 3yo dog is somewhat picky about kibble and generally has a fairly low appetite (always been like this even before I got him at ~4mos, but he maintains a healthy weight so vets say not to fuss about it). He also has some minor concerns with chronic pain, leaky anal glands, and mildly sensitive (itchy) skin. Again, all stuff that we and the vet are keeping an eye on, but so far its all being managed through small changes like exercises, fiber supps, etc. After several years of slowly experimenting with different foods, mix-ins, and ...

Hey everyone!! So I’ve been working out for years but I got really into working out everyday (rowing and curls for about an hour a night) about a little over a month ago, and my are noticeably growing larger which I’m quite happy about. The goal really is just to have beautiful biceps as well as veins mwhaahha. Anyways I feel like I already eat quite well but I think it could defo be better to make my muscles, especially my abs, moré noticible. Sooo if anyone has any advice for meal ideas, daily calories as well as protein, and what foods i should be eating/ avoiding. Any advice is appreciated thank you all!!!

I was watching a video on a few moms that were feeding their kids giant quantities of food per meal (the 32 pizzas mom, if you remember her). And the more I was watching, the more apparent it became that she just cannot parent at all with respect to teaching her kids about the basics of nutrition. She had a video that was, to paraphrase, "how many mozzarella sticks do you want for dinner, (child under 10)? 9 mozzarella sticks? hmmm, you know you have a small tummy, though. you're a little guy." It kind of baffled me in the moment, because that seems like the most inefficient way to teach nutrition. Her younger kids are/were 7 and 9 at the time, which means that they should be...

Cary’s sugar free maple syrup has always been my go to for a low cal syrup. Went to open a new one today when I finally ran out and noticed the calories increased from to 10 cals for the same serving size. Same product, same serving size and weight, and same ingredients.
