PROTEIN FOODS Locations

The title I been to 3 stores now omg

Adding my LOOONG story to this community because reading so many folks’ experiences makes me feel validated after the epic gaslighting she and her office put me through. TLDR; her practice is a complete scam. Like many folks here, I self-diagnosed with lipedema a long time ago and put off seeing a doctor because insurance and money. After a bad injury that put me on bedrest for several months, and what I suspect was the onset of perimenopause, my lipedema ballooned. I was so thankful to find a local lipedema specialist, knowing how few and far between they are, and sought her care. First red flag was when her office called saying it was $400 up front. After their explanation about insura...

I prefer to use NCCDB results as often as possible because they tend to give the highest number of listed nutrients (I want "credit" for as many possible, ha!). The only problem is they aren't consistent on whether they show multiple results based on cooked and uncooked food. For some foods, yes you can see both versions, for example pasta noodles and mushrooms. That's great because it can make a **huge** difference in the weight, depending on whether the food loses or gains water while cooking. But other foods .... nope, only one search result, and no mention of its preparatoin or lack thereof. I could show lots of examples, but here is maybe the best and funniest: h...

The American Great Lakes volume is about 9 billion Olympic pools; its water is crystal clear. It is from the golden clams. A tv show claimed it filtered a specific lake within the region 4 times a day. For the entire Great Lakes in optimal conditions, it was calculated to be about 23 days. It creates algae blooms.   Nitrogen runoff from farms in the Waikato River is well known. These clams have apparently been tested for heavy metals, also not surprising. They sound extremely invasive, but with that aside, in terms of advantages to their removal, it has some interesting strengths-  [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l1-hqNZUAYc](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l1-hqNZUAYc) If the shells w...

Why is this lightly smoked Atlantic salmon so high in calories?

f, 37 here. most of us just throw more protein at the problem when we’re sore, but I started reading up on how this 'dileucine peptide' actually works. it’s less about "bulk" and more about nutrient signaling. based on what i've found out, preclinical studies suggest it may assist the pathways involved in muscle repair, which is a bit more targeted than your standard amino acid blend. i get being cautious with new supplements cuz me too, i’m literally picky about what i put in my body. that’s why i appreciate brands that are manufactured in a gmp facility with third-party testing available. and i know, it’s about quality and evidence, not just hype. also ...

I train for a year. With proper nutrition, sleep, supplements for half a year, 3 months ago I stopped progressing absolutely, in all departments, and my form is changing for the better. I don't know what to do with it, I took breaks (from stagnation), changed the training program, drink creatine, nothing helped. I consulted a friend with a medical education, he said that he does not know what can be with me, only steroids will help, please give me some advice.

Hi all, I’m getting more aggressive about my weight loss journey bc simply being on the glp1 shot isn’t cutting it. However my biggest obstacle (aside from fitness) is cooking meals. I have a chronic illness and suffer from chronic fatigue and pain so cooking isn’t regularly an option for me. Normally for breakfast I do a 30g protein shake because I feel sick in the mornings/have mild gastroparesis so eating a lot of food isn’t my jam. So breakfast is typically covered for me. I’ve been grabbing some high protein microwave meals from HEB but am beginning to suspect the portions are too much since I’ve been gaining weight. Would anyone happen to have alternatives I can look int...

For reference, white 12 year old Cockerpoo (Cocker spaniel and toy poodle mix). It started just after new years, maybe 3 weeks ago. He itches mainly the belly, both front and back legs and his ears. He's been wormed and flea'd regularly his entire life and we gave an extra dose just after it started. The biting on his paws is so severe that he is biting to the point of bleeding and crying in pain most of the time. He can't seem to sleep and often is awake well into the night unable to stop chewing and itching. A vet visit 2 weeks ago he was prescribed antibiotic ear spray for ear infection and steroids. He has been on the steroids and they end tomorrow, they have helped minim...

Trying again since my post got removed because of me being **** 🤦🏽‍♀️ Like many, many others, I was always scrolling through the results posted here wishing it was my turn. I’m always an observer and never a poster but I know how taxing this journey is, so wanted to take a moment to share. I don’t want to make it a giant post because it can get overwhelming to be reading so much while all we’re doing is just … reading. But all I have to say is - as an anxious, self-doubting, average (TRULY) student, if I can do it, YOU CAN. I won’t go into much details but I didn’t finish the entire FA, wasn’t able to get through all the NBMEs, and didn’t finish all the sketchy ...

Every time I try to cook I get closer to my breaking point bc it is always horrible and it’s so deflating I’m desperate to eat good food. I’m obese. I’m starving. I’m trying to lose weight. So I need to make food. I never grew up learning to cook. I don’t live close to a deli with prepped food options. I need to cook for myself. I’ve tried, and tried, and tried. I don’t understand why it always turns out horrible. I’ve watched YouTube videos. I got cookbooks at the library. I’m even in a science cooking class at a local college, but it turns out that learning the science behind cooking hasn’t helped me to actually make food. Kind of like how learning physics doesn’...

Hey everyone! Like many others here, I am having some trouble continuing to lose after I made significant progress in the past. Some info about myself: I am currently about 5’7”, F 32 years old and currently weigh 145-150 lbs (I ping pong back and forth not sure if I am actually gaining weight or if this is water weight). I look appearance wise relatively fit but do carry extra weight “pudge” in my stomach I am self conscious about. The most I have ever weighted is 185 lbs, which was mostly the product of emotional eating during and after an abusive relationship. I’ve already lost most of that weight. I no longer emotionally eat and eat only when hungry (also understand the diff...

Here's the thing that got me obsessed with this topic: I kept seeing people online self-diagnosing, getting diagnosed, starting meds, then still struggling. and i'm like... something's missing here. turns out, the way we talk about adhd is fundamentally broken. We treat it like this static brain disorder you're just born with, when the reality is WAY more complicated and honestly more hopeful. Gonna share what I learned from digging through the actual science. no BS. just the stuff that actually matters. ***\*\* Your brain isn't broken, it's responding to something\*\**** So here's what blew my mind. Dr. Chris Palmer (Harvard psychiatrist, literally wr...

[I just tried samosas of Fresh and Fresh, Its seriously on the point to satisfy my taste buds. They have beef, mix-veg and potato options too. everyone at my family liked this. ](https://preview.redd.it/p49qsxghk5gg1.png?width=2917&format=png&auto=webp&s=ccce1776fae152821ff16443018e3f4493a05a30)

Started OMAD January 8th of this year after letting my weight creep up to the 200lb mark. I’m a 5’10” male. Starting weight was 199.2. I was pretty strict for the first 10 days or so, having my one meal and being done. I overate some days, but weight started dropping. The last two weekends I cheated some, but always tried to make sure I got my protein in. I dropped to a low of 192.8 last Thursday, just over 6lbs loss in 2 weeks, then went off track last weekend. I woke up this Monday and was at 197. Didn’t freak out, I knew I was on track and that weight will fluctuate. Just jumped back on omad. Tuesday morning I was 194. Decided to fast through the day until tonight, so ...

I am a recent Texas graduate (Nutrition and Dietetics from UT Austin) as of December. I know I am very new to job searching and being unemployed (lol). However, I've been dying for a break in-between undergrad and perusing masters/ICPD/internship. So, the earliest I'm thinking about applying for anything RD related is this fall/next spring. However, the field is pretty bleak unless I want to be a dietary aide (most pay less than $20/hour and don't require a degree) or sell supplements - unfortunately. What are some job titles I could actually qualify for that would be better for experience, money, or just something in the field. Not trying to be a downer, I actually really lov...

I’ve tried a few ready made meal companies like Blue Apron and Factor but I think Marley Spoon may actually be my favorite so far. I think they just released the ready made meals because most reviews that come up when I was looking into it are the meal kits (and those do not have good reviews from what I was seeing). They had a good promo so the meals came out to ~$6/meal for 18 meals for the first order and you can also do add ons like a salad kit or frozen pizza. Not sure if I’ll continue once the promo goes away but definitely worth at least trying it at that price IMO. I added a photo to show an example of how the meals came. I think they are pretty high quality and nice flavor/p...

Nutrition can *make or break* progress in calisthenics — not just workouts. A good diet balances macros (protein for muscle repair, carbs for energy, and healthy fats for hormones), times meals around training, and keeps hydration in check. Plenty of whole foods + tracking your calories can level up your strength and recovery. What dietary change helped you *most* with performance or recovery in your calisthenics journey?
