PROTEIN FOODS Locations

Hi folks, I have a strange question for anyone who owns or plans to own a rock hyrax. What do you feed them? And how do you ensure it is nutritionally complete? I study small animal nutrition and plan to create a complete and balanced rock hyrax pellet food (cold pressed, not extruded). Since these aren’t domestic, I would prefer them to eat fresh foods, but providing some pellets would help ensure the hyrax is getting all the vitamins they need including the right calories and levels of vitamins they require. I have noticed in some videos and pictures that some people’s hyraxes don’t look too great. I’ve already seen obesity, malnutrition, and dental issues including what looks...

I've cleaned up my diet (more fiber/protein/whole foods, smaller portions, less dairy/sugar, more water, almost no alcohol) and taken up light to moderate cardio (hiking, walking, stationary biking) over the last 6 or so months. The number on my scale has not budged at all, but I've reduced each core measurement by 2" and had to buy jeans & other clothes that are a size smaller. I'm confused by this, because with what I've been doing, I would think that body recomp is highly unlikely. It's not like I'm lifting heavy weights and prioritizing protein, or anything geared specifically toward building muscle (although I plan to). I suppose I could be lo...

Hi, I’m traveling for 2 weeks on a work trip somewhere with very high rates of foodbourne illness. Last time I was there I got E. coli, despite being very careful, and I don’t want to repeat that experience. I’m thinking of bringing some food with me to have available in case no (seemingly) safe options are available, but I need your ideas! I’m a foodie so they need to be good/exciting! I am considering Tasty Bite Indian food packets, protein bars, dried fruit and nuts. But what are some other things I can consider? I may or may not have microwave access but could probably obtain a hot water kettle. I’ll be in a hotel so won’t have much of a fridge and won’t be able to cook an...

I’m on 1.0 so far and can only eat a child-size portion of anything, even less if it’s pure protein like a chicken ******. I try to consciously eat slower, get full much quicker and have strong food aversion after eating that portion size (nauseous feeling reminiscent of the first trimester of my pregnancy). I’ve been feeling very anxious the last few days because I have a work meal with my boss and a few clients on Friday night. It’s at a fancy restaurant and the expectation with these meals is normally 3 courses and a good amount of alcohol (last time my boss ordered a bottle of wine per person). I can easily wiggle out of the alcohol by making an excuse about driving but I’m f...

Hello everyone, I'm a rather new frog owner and just wanted a few tips and tricks on supplements! I have 3 amazon milkies! Currently I give them pure prorep calcium dust everyday (it says this is okay on the packaging) and a vitamin supplement twice a week with their feeder crickets which I gut load a dry food (bug grub) as well as Lettuce, carrots and apples. I am very anxious about the possibility of vitamin A overdose but should I be dusting ALL of their feeder crickets in 1 meal sitting with the vitamin supplement? Does this diet and supplement schedule seem okay? Any tips will be greatly taken, I just want what's best for my little milkies!

I love overnight oats but got frustrated that none of the pre-made options were actually built around gut health. So I started building my own dry mix from scratch. After about 15 batches here's what I landed on and why: Rolled oats — beta-glucan, one of the most well-researched prebiotics available. Feeds Bifidobacterium directly. Most people don't realize their oats are already doing something before they add anything else. Chia seeds — prebiotic fiber plus omega-3s. Also creates a natural gel when soaked that significantly improves texture. Ground flaxseed — lignans and soluble fiber. Needs the full soak time to soften properly, which is why overnight matters. Inulin ...

I got my sleeve 2 months ago, and I did not expect to save THIS MUCH MONEY! Normally I liked eating out, restaurant bills are a smooth $50 where I live after tip and Uber Eats bills are $35 after tip. I have gone from doing that for majority of my meals to never. I am saving over **$1,000 a month** doing this, money that I already had before but ate instead. Even in pre-op when I didn't eat out, I still had to buy a lot of groceries like vegetables to fill up my stomach. That isn't a problem anymore since my stomach is so tiny (the only exception being the chobani yogurt I buy to help protein, expensive but helps a lot). With this new money, I am paying my debts off, but I sti...

Hi Reddit, Our 7 year old boy cat has recently been diagnosed with CKD this year. We noticed he'd been losing weight and he dropped to 5.5kg from 7.5kg over a short period of time. He's been in and out of the vets and along with CKD, we've been advised he has high blood pressure so we give him 1.25mg Amodip 1.5 times per day (whole tablet in the morning/half in the evening). The vet did send off for his protein:creatinine ratio and found that he was losing too much protein through his urine, so any supplement would not be able to help him. We do however give him a Pronefra supplement morning and evening with his food. We've tried him on several renal foods, and he ...

PREFACE: AM I BEING UNREALISTIC? I am not expecting a handout or a miracle, merely advice on how to do better. It seems that this may be interpreted as “young male wanting to make 6 figures with no ability”. Really what I am asking is what path would one suggest I take to be a better partner and father and a better provider for my family. I’m willing to invest years in the right path, I’m tired of investing into no path. Thanks… Hello, I (25M) and my wife (29F) are in-between a bit of a rock and a hard place. She is more than likely career-locked and is on track to make almost 100k this year in total (not salary but consistent enough to be considered scheduled). I have nev...

I’ve been hitting the gym for 92 days, training 5–6 days a week using a PPL x Arnold split. I also do 1 hour of cardio (incline 15.0, speed 3.5) plus a 4 km walk from the gym to home. I’ve gone from 68 kg down to 60 kg while eating around 1,600–1,800 calories with 120–140 g of protein. I practice progressive overload in my workouts, track my food, and get proper rest. Now I’m a bit unsure whether this is a good start or not. I’ve noticed that my strength has improved in several exercises, but when it comes to my physical appearance, progress feels slow—especially since I still have a noticeable amount of body fat around my abdominal area and waist. Is there something wrong ...

I have four cats. The eldest is about 6 years old, and she's the chunkiest. She just scarfs food down. The other are younger, and less chunky, but they are on their way to becoming chunky. The vet is the weight police and gets mad at me when they weigh too much. We free-feed dry food and they get little bits of wet food a couple of times a day (little bits meaning about 1 tablespoon). Ya'll are probably saying, duh, if you free-feed dry food they will get fat. I have been trying to keep the bowls empty for some hours during the day to discourage random snacking. I can't afford to feed them only wet food, that's just too much for 4 cats. Any dry food recs that help with ...

16F currently. I started lifting weights and going to the gym consistently 4 months ago and I am constantly hungry. I will eat a massive meal with like 4 eggs, bread, fruits, and meat and I will still be hungry. I can eat like 1500 kcal in a sitting after a good workout. I used to be a competitive swimmer and am still into biking/running so I do lots of cardio. However I never used to get nearly as hungry as I am right now (ever since I started lifting weights). These days, I've been eating 2200-2600 kcal a day 💀. The worst part is I rarely ever eat junk food so I've been eating a large volume of whole foods every single day. I am 5"2 btw and weigh 50kg so I know I am e...

# The Expected Side Effects (And Why They Are Not Warning Signs) Methylene blue is a pharmacologically active compound. It does things in your body, and your body responds to it. Some of those responses look alarming if you are not expecting them. None of the following are signs that something has gone wrong. They are predictable, dose-related, and documented in clinical literature as benign reactions to the compound doing what it is supposed to do. **Blue or Green Urine** This is the one that sends most first-time users straight to search engines. **It is completely harmless.** Methylene blue and its primary metabolite, azure B, are water-soluble and excreted renally. The vivid blue-gr...

Crying as I’m writing this because of how physically and mentally hard it is to breastfeed. I can’t get proper sleep at night because baby is clung onto the boob majority of the night even if he is clearly getting enough (gulping sounds). During the day is a different story as I’m not making enough for him. I’m sick and tired of constant nursing for freaking hours only to supplement with formula after AND having to pump. I’m 6 weeks postpartum and I feel like a freaking failure for still not being able to make enough milk. And how the **** am I even supposed to find the time to make myself food. I haven’t had a proper good meal in forever, one that I actually enjoy and not have t...

I’m getting ready for surgery next week (likely meniscus trim, possibly repair depending on what they find). Trying to prep this weekend and would love real-world advice. For those who’ve been through it: \-What food, drinks, supplements or snacks did you actually eat the first week? \-Anything you bought that ended up being super helpful? \-Anything you thought you’d use but didn’t? \-Any “wish I knew this before surgery” tips? I have a 4 year-old at home, so trying to make recovery as smooth as possible. Appreciate any tips, especially practical ones 🙏

Jello! I would love to make new friends across Europe. Maybe start as snail mail, and if we get along well, why not meet someday. It could be a great opportunity to discover new cities and countries. I’m actually planning a bike trip in Brittany this summer, so if you’re around, feel free to reach out :) My interests are mainly around food in general. I love learning new recipes and making things myself, like my own chocolate, dried meat, growing vegetables, or baking sourdough bread. I also love reading, anything related to nature (hiking, bivouac, mushroom picking…), travel and nutrition. I’m mainly looking to connect with women around my age (20–25) who speak French or Engl...
