PROTEIN FOODS Locations

I ordered groceries from Whole Foods that were delivered on 1/17. The Amazon distribution center that supplies these groceries sent me 5 day old expired ground beef! Just a word of warning if you do Whole Foods deliveries.

I’ve recently learned about minimum protein intake to build muscle (new to the fitness space), and I’ve also realized after tracking for a month I struggle heavily with hitting protein goals. I found a video of a man explaining how you know a protein product is good vs a sugary scam with a protein label. He explained it as a “zero” method. Essentially for every gram of protein a product has, add a zero and if the number you get is less than or equal to what’s on the calorie label, then it’s a good option. For example, an egg in my fridge has 6 grams of protein and is 60 calories, so it’s a “good source” of protein. I’m looking for foods or products like chobani protein...

I’m new to this country and have a child with autism who is currently in pre‑K, receiving speech therapy and OT. She has severe feeding issues and has been like this since she was a baby. She only eats crackers, rice sometimes, bread, chocolate, and ice cream—refusing everything else. She is still on a feeding bottle and won’t drink from anything else. She drinks milk every 2–3 hours, even while sleeping, which leaves me completely exhausted. Every time I try to introduce other foods, it ends up in the garbage. I’m currently pregnant and feeling overwhelmed, frustrated, and very alone. My husband doesn’t seem concerned about her feeding problems, and I have no family, rel...

Hey folks, wanted to share something that's been making waves in the school catering space lately. As someone who's been following the industry trends pretty closely, I think this expansion deserves a proper discussion because it's reshaping how school meals work here. ## What's Actually Happening So we're now three weeks into January 2026, and **13 schools across Singapore have officially switched to the Central Kitchen Meal Model (CKMM)**. This isn't just a small-scale experiment anymore—it's a genuine systemic shift driven by real, pressing challenges in the traditional stallholder system. For those not in the loop, the CKMM consolidates canteen ope...

24 F. I’ve had significantly low WBCs for about a year (mostly neutrophils). Most recently WBCs were at 2.1 k/uL and neutrophils .7 k/uL. In the past year, the ONLY time they were normal was during a round of iron infusions. We still have no idea what’s tanking my white counts. I do get frequent infections. The iron infusions (200mg of Venofer weekly for 5 weeks) improved my iron numbers into the normal ranges but my hemoglobin is still borderline-low. Actually, it decreased half a point between the start of my infusions and now (6 weeks after completion). At no point did it increase. Same for RBCs and hematocrit — they went down a little instead of up. What could be causing a) low w...

What does everyone’s day-to-day eating plan look like? Today is my first day on the Wegovy pill (1.5 mg). I tried to prepare ahead of time, but I’m realizing there’s a lot to learn, and the changes are making me feel a bit overwhelmed and insecure. I’m hoping to better understand which foods are generally well-tolerated and which ones may cause side effects. Any recommendations for meal planning or food prep would be greatly appreciated. I’m especially interested in guidance around recommended intake—protein, fiber, collagen, hydration, etc.

Helping my 10 year old daughter with better nutritional choices Helping 10 year old daughter control her nutrition As the title states, I have a ten year old daughter that’s having issues with weight and making good nutrition choices. She is with me 50% of the time and her mother the other 50%. She has been putting on a lot of weight over the last three years and I’m having trouble helping her manage good food decision. My house promotes good food choices that are balanced and nutritious while also selecting the correct portions for food. We don’t food shame or body shame here at all. Her mom’s house on the other hand does not seem to have the same portion control and nutritio...

Does the data that Oura ring and garmin import into the app count together towards my activity and nutrient need for the day or it it double dipping? I hope this makes sense… Example: if I work out my app then might say I need 30 more carbs. Is this because Oura and Garmin are combining the data or is it because it’s counting the activity as “two activities”? Should I actually only be eating an additional 15g of carbs? (This is just a general estimate of course). I eat low carb so I want to make sure I’m not accidentally working against myself here by eating more than I should.

Based on the most recent global data, the picture is stark but clear. **🌍 How many people are starving right now?** According to the 2025 UN *State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World* report, an estimated: **8.3% of the world’s population is experiencing hunger.** That equals roughly: **673 million people facing hunger in 2024.** A few more key points from the same report: * Hunger has **slightly decreased** from 8.5% the previous year, but progress is slow and uneven. * **Africa** is the hardest hit — more than **1 in 5 people** there face hunger. * **2.3 billion people** experience *moderate or severe food insecurity* (not necessarily starving, but not reliably fed)....

Most people aren’t lazy. They’re just trapped in a loop of bad habits, low energy, and zero momentum. It’s not your fault. The system rewards burnout and distraction. But you’re still responsible for fixing it. Here’s a practical, no-BS guide backed by books, podcasts, and actual science. Because most of your problems aren’t random. They’re predictable. And fixable. If your mind feels foggy, your body feels weak, and your days just blur together, read this. **1. Sleep like it’s your job**   Matthew Walker’s *Why We Sleep* breaks it down: poor sleep tanks your memory, mood, immunity, and focus. 7–9 hours is a non-negotiable. Consistency matters more than duration. No s...

Saw this same topic for the same reason a few months ago but it didn’t get all that many responses. Wanting to distance myself from Amazon and supplements are the main thing I would have trouble giving up. Any thoughts? Can Vitacost or iHerb be considered a better choice? Swanson? I saw Thrive Market has supplements but I don’t want to start a subscription without being able to see what they have… Also don’t know the realities of their business practices. There is a Natural Grocers an hour away from me with a large selection. Not well informed on them either. I take coq10, astaxanthin, magnesium + plant based melatonin, and a prenatal multivitamin. I also consume protein powders but ...

Im tired of being stuck at a fairly consistent 265lbs for the past several months. I started working out a few years ago weighing about 340 pounds and over 40%BF Im trying to seriously cut calories and slim down while keeping as much of my muscle as possible. Currently ~265lbs +/- 5 pounds. My best guess is that im hovering around 20-22% bodyfat. (6'2" 35 Male) I want to keep most (all would be ideal but probably not realistic because im long past the newbie gains stage) of my current muscle and hopefully lose 30 pounds of fat over 90 days while losing no more than 5lbs of muscle. Hopeing to taper down to around 13% BF which I feel like is ideal for me as I was around that...

Still need to update my thread (I keep forgetting...) but I thought I'd do a little follow up to note how my recovery has been and put out the few questions I have left over, as well as provide context as to why I had the surgery to begin with. As to why I got the surgery, I've been suffering with long-term dysphagia due to strictures and the like for almost a decade now. My tonsils have always been large and nearly blocked off my throat, but my physicians didn't really care about taking them out until I got diagnosed with mild sleep apnea last year. My SLP additionally thought it would be in my benefit with my recovery to remove them, as I often complained of something feeli...

You see Vitamin C, Vitamin D, and Vitamin E. But when you get to B, it’s rarely just "Vitamin B." Instead, you see "B-Complex," "B12," "B6," or "Biotin." This is because Vitamin B isn’t a single nutrient. It is a family of eight distinct vitamins that work together like a well-oiled machine to keep your body running. While they are chemically distinct, they often coexist i...

Testosterone is having a weird PR moment. One side of the internet treats it like a magic pill for success, masculinity, and even dating. The other says it's overhyped. But spend a few hours listening to Dr. Andrew Huberman and Dr. Peter Attia, and you’ll walk away with something way more useful: a science-backed understanding of how testosterone and TRT really work and who they are actually for. Most people hear about TRT (Testosterone Replacement Therapy) on TikTok or YouTube from shredded influencers who barely understand what they’re injecting. What rarely gets mentioned: there are serious clinical standards to it. And low testosterone (or suboptimal levels) is more common than...

I am on week 7 and am struggling to meet my protein needs. I have 2 eggs per day and one cup of Greek yogurt and my diet is predominantly vegetarian, as I feel very nauseous with any chicken or fish. I am thinking if protein powder is a good way to supplement protein need? Looking for recommendations on what powders are pregnancy safe?

Hi all, I have been racking my brain on the best way to use my pellicles. (Quick explanation as I want to crosspost this to aquarium subs too: A pellicle is a nutrient-dense, rubbery biofilm composed primarily of bacterial cellulose, which forms in the process of brewing kombucha) Based on my research, it could provide a high-fiber, edible material containing protein, probiotics, antioxidants and residuak organic acids. For human consumption, UNFORTUNATELY, it’s not very suitable due to being comprised primarily of callulose. I have read of many people feeding it to their chickens, with great success. This made me think, for omni- and herbivorous fish as well as shrimp and snails, dige...

The way I stalked this package all week probably points to some kind of neurochemical instability, but whatever, tinned fish is serious business! A huge thank you to Brian, Pedro, and the TinCanFish crew form hosting such a generous giveaway. I'm so grateful and very excited to try these tins (especially those scallops & razor clams) and recipe ideas. ❤️ Let me know if y'all want to see any reviews in particular and I'll do my best ;)
