PROTEIN FOODS Locations

It can be so hard to stay positive when you don’t feel the changes on a daily basis. HW: 334, SW: 323 (Feb 2025), CW: 278 (56 pounds down total, 45 in 6 months!!) Some NSV’s that help me see the changes: - no longer need an airplane seatbelt extender - can lean forward and grab my bag under the airplane seat - at home blood pressure monitor fits around my arm with extra space! (it belongs to a family member and months ago I tried to use it and it wasn’t big enough) - I don’t feel fatigued with daily activity or travel - clothes are starting to feel too big to wear (there are far more choices in 1X than 3X) - I’m feeling more confident and less anxious in social situations ...

Hi everyone, I go to CSL and I've been on 56day deferral due to blood loss from the machine not returning my RBC. I believe I remember them telling me I can return Aug23, and I did mark the 56th day in my calendar. The CSL app still says "return date unavailable, contact the center" etc. I've been preparing as per usual, had good meals with protein foods, drank plenty water, I even took an iron pill with a vitamin C for good measure. I plan to get a good night's sleep and continue with final preps before heading to the center. So like the title says, do I just show up? And basically hope I won't be turned away if the questionnaire kiosk even let me sign in e...

I’m about 3 weeks in with a 12:12 plan for now, per my dr. I have stage 2 kidney disease and have been instructed to eat more Mediterranean diet and increase my fast window over the course of a few months. I currently have an eating window of 7a-7p, but seem to have a hard time between lunch (at 1-2) and 7pm. Are protein bars/shakes good during this time? I get busy at work after lunch until we close at 6, so stopping to grab a bite of something is tricky. So far, I’ve stuck to the 7-7 window and am tracking my food and fasting times in an app also.

EDIT: I'm aware that this is the joke sub. I'm just wondering how people on r/1200isplenty think they're getting enough nutrients. NOTE: In this post, I'm going by the calorie count according to the conventional 4/9/4 formula, not Cronometer's special formula, which shows fewer calories on a high-fiber diet. 1200 calories per day is my idea of a crash diet. Even in the most scorching and appetite-shrinking 100-degree heat, I eat more like 1600 calories per day. At the opposite extreme, I eat as much as 3200 to 3600 calories per day in the most bitterly cold and appetite-inflating subzero polar vortex. I've used Cronometer to track my food intake. I ...

Before anyone tells me this yes I know better I know I need to talk to someone about my problems with food yes I know I’m not in the right mindset and yes I know I could have hurt my incisions/pouch. So my post op diet was 4 weeks long I could have 1 meal a day with 2 snacks the rest of the day was 80-90 grams of protein shakes. I did great on it and didn’t cheat once. Fast forward I had bypass on August 12th. The day before yesterday I was so sick and over the protein shakes as they taste nastier since surgery and I wanted food so I tried 3-4 spoon fulls of corn beef hashed I tolerated it fine. Yesterday I had 1-2 ounces of scrambled eggs with milk and cheese in it tolerated it fine. To...

So my cat Maui, is 2 yrs old, neutered, and persian. Before, hindi naman sya pala-ihi kung saan saan. Kaso nilipat ung mga cats ng tita ko dito sa bahay — they're 7 adult cats, blood related sila ni Maui (may catio for them, pero pinapalabas din and allowed to roam around the house). May cat litter naman, marunong din magpoop si Maui sa garden namin. And ever since lumipat dito ung other cats, nagmamark na sya kung saan saan. Is this something behavioral lang or medical issue na? Diet is mixed dry food and wet food, palainom din naman ng water, pero semi outdoor kasi sya and minsan nakikiinom sa tubig ng dogs! I'm planning na ikulong muna sya sa cage dito sa kwarto ko and icha...

Sorry, all over the place. Question at end please Backstory: Our 34-weeker was a feeder and grower in the NICU just due to prematurity and to “graduate” he had to intake x amount so I wanted all his feeds to be fully measurable. The two times I tried to put him to ****** were **** in the hospital; the first I was unintentionally blocking a neighbor’s pump (3 babies in the room, but lactation told me to sit there) so was bitched at by neighbor’s RN and second time was at discharge. Whining: I’m an underproducer, just now making 1oz per session (8 pumps per day religiously since milk came in). Life is rushing through pumping or trying to pump and hold the baby without knocking the...

I recently joined the gym again after a 5–6 month break, and I’ve noticed two things that really bother me: 1. Shaking while lifting and after workouts – My body, especially my arms, shakes a lot during lifts and even if I flex them tightly afterward. 2. Left arm failure – My left arm reaches failure way sooner than my right. For example, I can barely push past 4–5 reps with my left hand, but the right feels fine. If I try to force it, my posture breaks down, which makes the exercise pointless. For context: Age: 25 Height: 5’2 Weight: 54 kg Supplements: Protein + creatine Results so far: Pump is there, but I don’t feel the strength gains I need to increase weight. Wh...

I love tinned fish and I’m curious if I’d be able to gives these ones to my girl. They’re packed in water not oil and no added salt. I know the whole container probably wouldn’t be good but what about 1 piece or half a piece?

In my 20s, I stopped weighing myself. I am 5’4” and back then weighed more than 225, maybe as much as 240 or more. I ***** clothes shopping and felt so uncomfortable in my body every day. I had struggled with disordered eating since I was 10 years old and felt so much shame. In my mid-20s, I committed to an extreme diet and lost a lot of weight, I got down to about 120. Over the years my weight crept up bit by bit. Never as high as it was when I was younger, but I was again unhappy with my body. Now I’m in my early 40s and I’m a mom. For the first time I’m losing weight slowly and patiently. I’m counting calories and watching macros, I naturally eat a lot of fiber but I’m al...

Need some advise. I am 5’4, and now 4 months pp. at 6 weeks pp I weighed in at 127 lbs and was super happy. My pre pregnancy weight was 120 and I had been in the best shape of my life at that point… regularly lifted and took cycling classes during the week (ah the child free life). I could squat 135 for like 15 reps… ate super clean all the time. Now at 4 months pp I am weighing 134. Which is super frustrating since I wasn’t even that heavy after she was born. At 3 months pp I weighed 129 and that was when I bought a peloton, fixed my diet, started going on 30-60 min walks with baby every day, did quick at home Pilate videos. I use the peloton at least 3-4 times a week. But I gained...

I’m a big fan of MGS and my bf brought me a snack from japan. suddenly remember pt has the this treasure in WAR level! (the green flavor’s best trust me)

I was at a stall at 160 , for months. Then when It broke but only lost 4 pounds , and stalling at 156 for a few weeks. I’m on 10 mg technically but I always get scared to take the entire 10 in one go because it wipes me out and I get flu like symptoms and aches. Just always how my body has responded. But it last for a few hours the next day . I’m a health nut with supplements , and vitamins, my water intake , and electrolytes so that’s all in check. The way I get my protein in honestly the only way I truly can is with premier protein shakes . 30mg a bottle and I drink 3 sometimes four a day. Also to try and make sure I’m getting in enough calories and then I eat one meal at dinner ti...

I'm shocked by how most foods have extremely high phosphorus levels. I want to switch my cats to a wet food with a appropriate phosphorus level as noted in the Small Animal Clinical Nutrition textbook (0.5 to 0.8), but they're all quite expensive. Dry food is cheaper per calorie even if you get the more expensive brands so I'm ok with switching to Hill's for that, but Hill's 5.5 cans are like $3 each which means it would cost around $90 a month to feed my two cats. In a year or so I'll be able to afford that but not right now. Weruva is cheaper but my cats won't eat it. Is there a cheaper option?

So i guess i can assume that everyone who uses this subreddit has already heard of the whole MrBeast “TeamWater” campaign going on : “1$ = 1 Year of water” . Running till the end of August. First of all, and correct me if i am wrong, but I have not yet seen anyone making a deep dive on the top Donors of this campaign, which gave me the curiosity to have a look at the top 20 Donations on team water which as of the 23.08.2025 is roughly ($26,432,349) making up roughly 81% of the total donations ($32,850,000) as of the 23.08.2025 , then categorising them and seeing where exactly the money is coming from and what their insensitives are for donating to this cause. In the first photo t...

Hello! This is Kira. She is a 2 year old female budgie. She has been having health related problems for a while now. Counting I think about 9-10 months. Her problems seem to stem from either a unknown resiratory issue, or nutritional deficincies. At first, she didn't have any problems. Her diet was mostly seed based because where I live, pellets aren't a common purchase so pretty much all the pet stores in my city don't sell it, but she did get her porition of fruits and veggies every now and then. Nothing seemed wrong with her untill ste started doing a weird clicking sound and hanging onto the cage bars. That was the first thing we noticed. (Like in image 2) After convincing...

Hey everyone, Hair growth for men is one of those topics where the internet is full of “miracle fixes” that somehow never work. I thought I’d pull together some real experiences—both from myself and other guys here—plus what science actually backs up. # 🌱 Quick Reality Check * Most male hair loss is **androgenetic alopecia** (male pattern baldness), driven by genetic sensitivity to DHT. * Nutrition, lifestyle, and certain medical conditions can make things worse or trigger shedding even if your genes aren’t the main problem. * No single product works for everyone—you need a plan that matches your cause. # 🧾 Real Cases from the Community **1. The “Nutrient Deficienc...

Hey r/tressless , Biotin gets mentioned a *lot* when it comes to hair growth, but I wanted to put together a summary of what people (including myself) have actually experienced with **biotin oil**—both good and bad. # 🌱 Quick Science Recap * Biotin (vitamin B7) helps your body produce keratin, the main protein in hair. * Severe deficiency is rare, but when it happens, hair loss is a common symptom. * Topical “biotin oil” usually combines biotin with carrier oils—most benefits come from scalp hydration and massage rather than direct follicle penetration. # 🧾 Real Experiences from the Community **1. “It helped my ends, not my hairline.”** One user applied biotin oi...
