PROTEIN FOODS Locations

I (17f) am about to move in with my aunt and uncle for college next fall. My family has always struggled with being overweight, and their perception of what counts as “enough food” is really skewed. I realized I did not want this for myself, so I’m vaguely conscious of what I eat. I am 5’0 and 100 lbs, so naturally my maintenance calories are low (around 1400 a day). To maximize satiety, most days, I eat one very large meal a day with the whole days nutritional needs. I eat it around 4 pm. On weekends I don’t track calories at all. My aunt and uncle are worried that my habit of eating one meal a day might influence their 11-year-old daughter, my cousin, and potentially cause her ...

I’m in college. these are pictures of the food Ive been having lately. this is also a long post, im very alone and these thoughts have just been marinating in my head ive been tracking calories since junior year high school, im now a freshman in college. i was counting 1500 calories up until now (im short so this is maintenance for a normal weight for me). i came back from winter break, and I went from completely sedentary to biking all over my campus. my appetite shot up like crazy, I had constant food noise and constant thoughts about food and what I was going to eat next, fantasizing about eating packs of cookies and cake. it was terrifying, I considered asking my doctor to go on oze...

I just got the endoscopy and waiting on official diagnosis but with a parent diagnosed I am trying to get my bearings. I’m mid-life. These symptoms are new and fortunately have been intermittent but increasing over the past several months. Is it common to suddenly start even if you’ve been eating the same foods for years? Or should I be suspicious of the relatively recent addition of soy, that I added about a year ago for hormone support and because it’s a plant-protein? It all feels overwhelming. I have year-round environmental allergies so now I’m wondering if that is what is causing this. The internet is little help. How did you identify your triggers?

hi ! i have been vegan for eleven years and from america. in recent years ive started eating a lot of protein averaging around 100 grams a day. this is thanks to vegan chicken (beyond meat, daring, morningstar), vegan beef or steak from the same brands, fava bean tofu, seitan, and other items like keto tortillas, sola protein bread, etc. i’m looking to move to japan for a gap year this july and after visiting 2 weeks last year the options were scarce but doable, but now that i’m looking to live there i’m looking for sustainable healthy and protein forward food. after skimming happycow and amazon and options from health-forward stores like natural lawson and produce grocery stores, ...

Hi everyone! Just hopping in with a quick question :) For context, I have type 2 diabetes and was diagnosed around August. I’m getting follow up with my pcp, a dietitian, and endo because of funky stuff with my A1C and health, etc. Ironically, I am also in school majoring in nutrition and have an ultimate goal of becoming a diabetes educator (CDCES). I’m bilingual and grew up in an immigrant household, have years of experience as a medical interpreter, etc. I’m super excited for what’s to come career wise and had known for a few years this is what I wanted to do. I’m viewing my own diagnosis as a tool that will really help me empathize and work with future clients, I’ve done...

Asking for my parents. Finally they are seeing benefits of tacking protein supplements, but to them using shaker seems too much. Are there any brands that easily mix with water or milk by steering with a spoon

I’m doing endurance sports and a bit of weight training and last year I tried taking whey protein for muscle recovery/additiona protein intake. For those who do sports as well, any supplement recos aside from whey or just eat organically/naturally (whole foods and clean foods)?

The secret to reaching your fitness objectives is [nutrition](https://thechiselgym.com/blog/). Your diet provides energy for your workouts, promotes healing, and increases your strength. Your body will function at its peak with a balanced diet full of proteins, good fats, and vital vitamins and minerals. Strict dietary guidelines are not necessary for good nutrition; instead, wise decisions, appropriate serving sizes, and consistency are. You'll get genuine, long-lasting effects if you combine it with a consistent workout. I can also create a punchier, even shorter version for posters or social media if you'd like.

Help! I ordered something that I thought would be OK to give my cat, but now that I have it, it doesn’t say anything about giving it to cats, and ChatGPT is cautioning me against it… and I don’t want to risk my dear kitty. The reason I thought I could give it to my cat was because when I looked it up, there was a picture of a cat on their Amazon ad. I could swear that it said that it was for cats too, but I cannot see that anywhere now. So since I cannot use this product, what do I do about reviewing it? Is it their fault or is it my fault? Does it matter? What would you do?

Hello, I recently had my b vitamins tested. I have many chronic health issues. I wasn’t even expecting there to be any issues, but there was. My b9 is low, which can be supplemented. However, my b6 is extremely high. My doctor mentioned some scary diagnosis’s drink b6 toxicity. The issue is is I take 0 b6 in supplements or in food/drinks etc. they retested in and in one week it rose even more, by a lot. I’m panicking. I can’t handle much more and they’re wondering if it could also have something to MTHR. Any kind of help or reassurance would be amazing

I'm searching through other threads, but figured I'd make a post asking too. Can anyone recommend high protein snacks that satisfy the following please? I desperately need a better protein intake due to tissue/bone issues, I struggle with a lot of meats (cluster headaches), and the only thing I keep going back to is Eatlean protein cheese sticks 😅 Note these criteria are strictly non-negotiable, as many are related to annoying serious medical conditions e.g. Coeliac disease and biliary dyskinesia: • Bars/solid food (not powder/drinks) • Ready to eat with no prep involved • UK based (Amazon prime would be great) • Gluten free • Nut free • Low fat (ideally less...

1. The Powerhouse of the Cell Question: Which organelle is primarily responsible for generating adenosine triphosphate (ATP) through aerobic respiration? A) Nucleus B) Mitochondria C) Ribosome D) Golgi Apparatus Rationale: A) Nucleus: Incorrect. The nucleus acts as the "control center," containing genetic material (DNA), not for energy production. B) Mitochondria (Correct): Known as the "powerhouse" of the cell, this is where oxygen and nutrients are converted into ATP, the cell's main energy currency. C) Ribosome: Incorrect. Ribosomes are the sites of protein synthesis. D) Golgi Apparatus: Incorrect. This organelle is responsible for modifying, sorting, an...

Looking for experiences from people who had strong early side effects on Zepbound and how it ultimately turned out. I’m trying to decide whether to keep going or pause until I meet with a specialist, and would really appreciate hearing how this played out for others. My original plan was to start Zepbound through Ro and then transition care to a specialist once I could get an appointment (still about a month away). I started Zepbound in early January via Ro and have taken two doses so far of 2.5. After my first dose (stomach injection), I had vomiting and extreme fatigue the next morning. I slept most of the day and felt better after. Ro said this can be common while adjusting and tha...

I had my surgery 2/17/25 and I’ve lost 96 lbs. so far! I’m incredibly happy with where I’m at right now. I actually like how I look and enjoy clothes again. I just feel overall better and more happy! Although I’m happy with my results so far, I’m nervous. I haven’t lost weight since November and I keep fluctuating between 145-148. I meticulously track my foods on MFP and it’s been saying (since November) that if everyday were like today, I should be 133-136 in 5 weeks (depending on the day). I know that weight loss stalls around this time, but I don’t understand. I’m still in a caloric deficit. I do strength training twice a week, yoga at least once a week and also c...

Hey! I am 2 months post op. What are you guys eating for meals to meet protein goals? I feel like I’m not. I eat 1 boiled egg, Icelandic yogurt, tuna/chicken/turkey for lunch and dinner, plus a protein shake. I need something sweet too and have been eating 2 gfb (gluten free brothers) treats which is 2 balls. They are good but my period craving came in hard this week. I bought a dark chocolate bar and ate it through the week. I’m just trying to get different food options which also meet my sweet cravings. I’m trying to keep them at bay but this week was especially difficult. Sorry if this has been asked before but I’m having a hard time with it. Thanks in advance!

Hi friends, over the last year or two I've made major changes to my lifestyle after going on a bit of a learning journey. Unfortunately, since then, I have never been sicker! I'm on my 7th illness now within a year. The illnesses have been mild (except one or two) but I feel like I've just never fully recovered. Does anybody have any advice for how to improve my immune system? Currently I work out 3-5 x a week, I eat nutritious food including fermented foods, I do breathwork and meditate, sauna, I am on various supplements depending on my cycle (omegas, D, magnesium, saffron, zinc, b6, NAC) and I have great sleeps. Please help! x

Thoughts and suggestions on how to better organize this pantry. Nothing is expired or anything like that. The middle shelf is our cans and things like that and the bottom shelf is things like pasta boxes/bagged pasta and tortillas. Really it's the can shelf. We use through things regularly and replenish, but what are your thoughts for being able to 1. make it look better and 2. make it easier to see things. Thanks!!

My family often smell cows on our road trips. When my older sibling was little, they called the sewer smell sewer cows. How would sewer cows realistically evolve? I saw a post earlier about a subterranean ox. That is what gave me the idea to post. I think that cows would only go in the sewers if there was food or shelter. My idea is that the cows somehow get into the sewers and start supplementing their diet with dung and rats. Any other ideas? I am maybe leaning towards making it a dugong or manatee, but that doesn’t quite feel right.

I had my T levels checked 6 months ago and found total T was 565ng/dL. I had been feeling some mild symptoms of low T such as being irritable, unusually fatigued, and unmotivated. After getting my result, I immediately took it as a challenge to get that number up naturally. I did a slow cut (dropped from 193lbs to 164lbs at 5’11”), got back into lifting regularly, quit alcohol completely, locked in a whole food diet, >200g of protein per day, and focused on getting better sleep (although I struggle to stay asleep and get into a deep sleep state). I retested 2 weeks ago and found that my levels have DROPPED. They came in at 308ng/dL. To confirm this result I did another test and...
