PROTEIN FOODS Locations

So i was a little concerned that i would want coffee in the morning a-lot or a quick caffeine boast but i have been on a self care journey. So one thing i started to do was blend up protein shake in morning before work and i included creatine and also take a fisl oil supplement. I noticed this helps me fill fuller, i feel like it help maintain and build muscle by getting early high dosage of protein i can focus on some carbs for the day, and try to meet my protein goals daily. I been training for a marathon, and you would think its just about running but there is strength training involved to help prevent injury and overuse. So i think this habit swap has helps me habit stack better things ...

I’ve gone through my fair share of protein powders and amino acids, and honestly, most of them feel the same LOL. But I started looking into Dileucine Peptide after seeing that preclinical studies suggest it may assist nutrient signaling pathways involved in muscle repair. It’s not a magic pill, but for me, it’s about finding those small edges that supports healthy muscle maintenance. Cautious? Trust me, me too. The supplement world is full of hype, like LITERALLY! What I like here is the transparency; the one I use is manufactured in a GMP facility and they have third-party testing available. Users often mention smoother recovery after training, and while everyone is different, I not...

A new male friend of mine has always been into exercise but recently decided to clean up his act for overall good health. He’s been working out and walking a lot, cut way down on alcohol and eats very boring (This is how he describes it. It’s all veg, lean protein and healthy carbs). This is his main focus these days and that’s what we talk about mostly when we chat. He’s coming to my home city for a few days and I will only be seeing him for one day. I always like to give people who visit a little welcome gift, and I try my best to tie it to either their interest or something my city is known for. I don’t know him so well that I know his other interests so I can’t give him any...

Tw: abuse/stalking/eating disorders I’m in the middle of the worst depressive episode I’ve ever had. Recently? I had to file an emergency DVPO (domestic violence protection order) against my mom. She is contesting it and we have another court date on the next week. I have a very large Appalachian family and not one of them has checked in on me. I was partially raised by my grandparents and even they have blocked me… which I never expected. My ex boyfriend used to work in that courthouse and knows all of the judges/lawyers/etc. While we had a relatively amicable break up … it still hurts. We also have barely spoken since we broke up (about 2 and half yrs ago) and my DV advocate sug...

So I am around 4 yrs hrt, 5,9ft 145lbs, 29yo They never got 'a' cup I don't think, at 2 yrs+ I got upset and went with implants cause gave me some major dysphoria.

Hello! BACKGROUND I’m 43, plus sized, and hit the gym 3-5 days a week and love lifting.

I recently had surgery and now have physical restrictions.

Sugar gliders are now a part of my life in the most unexpected way possible, and my pet isn't your regular kind of pet. It's a gliding marsupial, not a bird, not a rodent, but an actual sugar glider. There's a long backstory to how I ended up with one involving a friend who couldn't keep theirs anymore, but the important part is that it's completely legal where I live and I'm committed to doing right by this little creature. I didn't get it intentionally, which meant there was absolutely no structure or plan in place at first. Everything happened spontaneously, from figuring out its very specific diet to setting up proper accommodation that wouldn't s...

Kind of just needed to put this out somewhere but also seeking advice if anyone would like to offer their two cents. I’m on Mounjaro 7.5 and taking Metformin 500mg twice a day and I’m not sure if it’s me or the meds but food lately just doesn’t sound appealing or appetizing and I’m finding myself sliding back into old habits when I’m at home like eating cereal or easy convenient/accessible foods. I work 3-4 days a week at a nursing home so I eat most of my meals at work when I do work and I get nutrition from those meals but it’s when I’m home that I lose all motivation. I’m not putting blame on anything besides potentially my meds or anyone for my eating habits cause I k...

Hello! I went to the grocery to pick up some ingredients for cookies and I usually just get Anchor but I'm curious as to which butter makes the best tasting cookies? Or if the cheaper alternatives are just as good? I also read somewhere that you can go with so-so butter then just spend on chocolate but idk if that's accurate or not Let me know your thoughts please!

i am a first time cat mom and i am very anxious/overly cautious when it comes to anything for my cat. I only use the Hills brand for food for him. he’s not big on treats and not food motivated AT ALL. i haven’t had many issues and he is in great health. i want to start making lists for brands and products that aren’t good for cats or just pets in general and i want to share it for anyone else. i research a lot about what’s right and wrong but it is still very confusing sometimes with all mixed reviews. i know for a fact anything Hartz is terrible. i would appreciate any advice and recommendations. this is open for ANYTHING. shampoos, cleaning products, toys, treats, supplements or vi...

Since I haven't seen anyone do a full breakdown on the protein milk nutrition facts, and because Starbucks doesn't provide their own, I decided to weigh out and calculate it myself. I used the nutrition facts from Nutricost unflavored protein powder because I don't trust the incorrect nutrition fact labels on the Starbucks powder. Hopefully this helps others! I used somewhat estimated numbers for the calculations, but not by much. If interested in the exact numbers, I took pictures using my food scale during each step of the protein milk prep.

This is the first time I've seen oligosaccharide syrup. Yikes!

I had 3 small homemade tortillas and they were very good for my first try! The recipe didnt tell me the nutritions, so maybe you can put a closer guess to it? The sauce was 400kcal per 100g, didnt take a pic of the label. It was 80kcal. Need to know if this was 700 cal?

i was really hoping it was just a one off and it was only the new candies they just made. but nope

I feel like it happens a lot for me. I’m absolutely starving but I hold out a bit longer until my lunch break, im hungry buying or warming up lunch and then I sit down and boom. Not hungry anymore. Do I really have to eat it right nowwww? I get home from work and I feel like I could eat everything in my fridge so I cook the fastest thing i have and put it in a bowl and ahh idk im not hungry right now, maybe I should wait until im hungry? I get home from work after a full commute thinking about how hungry I am. I remember the previous trap so I cook something good for me that takes longer. I lose appetite. It comes back, im so hungry. I finish cooking the food. Actually im not hungry mayb...

I'm 34F. I was officially diagnosed with IBS-D. I'm on 25mg of amitriptyline, meds for GERD, and I was taking meds for BAM. Every single time I eat or drink anything (water included) my stomach starts to cramp up. Then 10 - 30 minutes later I feel the urge to have a BM. I get to the bathroom quickly and as non chalant as possible. Then I have to sit on the toilet for 10-15 minutes. Sometimes the BM comes quickly and I can leave the bathroom and resume my day. Most of the time not so much. I'm also taking Imodium as needed. I've looked at my other meds (bc, migraine meds, allergy meds, ect) to see if they have anything to do with my stomach issues and no luck. I still drin...

Ok so I need to share this because maybe someone here is stuck like I was. For YEARS I thought I had no willpower. Every time I tried to lose weight it went like this: Day 1–3: motivated af Day 4: starving Day 5: thinking about food 24/7 Day 6: binge Then guilt. Repeat. I used to eat “healthy” salads and still feel empty. I’d skip meals thinking it would help… and then overeat at night. And I kept blaming myself. Then I tried something super simple. For 3 days only, I stopped trying to eat less. Instead I made one rule: Every meal must have: * protein * vegetables (a lot of them) * some carbs * a little healthy fat That’s it. No calorie counting. No cu...

Jolyne, my cat, passed away in my arms while my Mother was driving to the vet. She was only 16-ish (an estimate. We never knew her exact age where she was originally basically a stray) and had an appointment later this month to get her calculus removed. That appointment was originally on the 28th of January, but it had got canceled due to a snowstorm - late February was the earliest they could get her in. It all started off looking like a cold, and it made sense considering my Mother and I were both sick so we thought Jolyne had caught it. Called the vet office to ask what to do; giving her a mix of unflavoured pedialyte and water was their suggestion, so we went with that. And the she sto...

My baby is newly 6 months and we recently started solids. We started around 5.5 months bc he was grabbing at EVERYthing we ate, so we decided to give him some purees of sorts. He LOVES them, almost to the point where he refuses breastmilk. He also refuses a bottle, so up until this point he was EBF. He’s my second, and wildly different than my first. I have even tried to stop feeding him food and encourage breastmilk, but he gets ******. He only wants food? Is this normal? He still nurses to sleep and during the night, so I’m trying not to overthink this. I know every baby is different, and we have an appointment at the ped tomorrow, so I plan on talking to her about it as well. I gues...

Just sharing my experience in case it helps someone. I did one month on 2.5 mg Mounjaro, then stayed on 5 mg for about four months. The weight loss was great in the beginning, but after a while it just stopped. Full plateau. Same routine, same food structure, nothing moving. I didn’t want to increase to 7.5 mg, so I decided to switch instead. I’ve been on Retatrutide 3 mg for 8 weeks now and haven’t increased the dose. What feels different is that Retatrutide doesn’t completely erase hunger. It’s more like… you still feel it, but it’s controlled. I can eat normally, make better choices and stop without fighting myself. With Mounjaro, especially in the beginning, it felt more...
