    I keep seeing everyone with all these cool finds, then I search up the price and I’m like -😳 I’m not talking about this sub specifically (I don’t think I’ve seen it here) but more so other fitness and diet related subs. I struggle to meet my protein goals so badly. Like the volume of meat you...

    Idk how ppl in this sub are able to do low cal w/ 100 g+ of protein daily and workout so rigorously- I’m struggling with 1700 cals😭

    @forwhatitsworth That’s true, I often reach for protein bars as an end of meal snack or if I’m just rushing between work and school. I definitely could be more thoughtful to plan more fulfilling snacks for the day After making this post I’ve searched up that protein is only 4 cals / g of...

    @mohamad I’m Asian so I can’t give up rice I’m sorry😭 I used to eat so much more but I’ve cut it down to 1/2 cup rice hopefully I can it down more in the future 🥲 Ur right about the processed foods from the comments it seems like my protein hacks with using bars isn’t the most efficient

    @jenur Would you be open to investing in a personal trainer, as new person in the gym especially with mobility issues a trainer can be useful. I used trainer due to some hip flexor issues for a month and my trainer was really great at finding alternatives and building up strength deficits!

    31yo 5’3” 131lbs: Did a Dexa Scan yesterday that has me absolutely shook… found out I’m OBESE with 35% body fat percentage

    @lwh Thank you for this comment. I saw my dexa scan result say I was 40% bf and I weigh in the low 120s (fluctuates depending on cycle) and I weightlift too. I was so depressed after and stopped working out for 3 weeks 🥲

    @laughter I’m 130 lbs and I’m focusing on body recomp so it is a bit higher. I was working with a sports nutritionist and that’s was her recommendation at least 😅

    @miracle2019 Thank you, I might need to do the same! Protein bars are stupidly expensive too. Especially the one I eat I’m never satiated by them

    @belledandy I’ve tried a lot of protein bars and the only ones i like are power crunch, all the other ones taste like dough to me 😭 if you have any recommendations I would love to have them tho! For lunch I usually eat baked chicken (2 thigh/leg pieces), 1/2 cup of rice, and roasted vegetables...

    I’m trying to eat at maintenance (1700 cals for me) but it’s so hard especially with the protein intake. I often compensate with protein bars and shakes, which lets me have 62 g of protein for ~550 cals. It’s also easy for me since I work full time with school, so I’m always on the go. I was...
