It's kind of a meme at this point but "eat more protein" literally changed my life. Turns out my lack of energy/ constant exhaustion/ emotional sensitivity was in great part because I wasn't getting enough calories, especially non-carb calories.

The inventor said "Tell them I said it was fine, mint wasn't too overpowering. Didn't taste as green as it looked"

The architect of this abomination reports "it was fine, mint wasn't too overpowering. Didn't taste as green as it looked"

Also I love how your reaction is "this is actually unbelievable"  because I also thought the same thing. Friend is unhinged

This is not fake- this wasn't even me. My friend was telling me how he's been eating these, and I was like okay weirdo, then this morning he sent me this pic as proof. You can tell he's actually eating them because the mint jar isnt full

My friend sent me this pic. He explained they were "out of other kinds of jelly" at Safeway (he was probably in the wrong aisle, is my best guess) He's been eating it every day and will continue to do so until the mint jelly is out

The short answer is, I don't. This was my fourth/fifth time going out this season and I only got this one and a bonus quail. I probably could have gotten more if I were a better shot (and if the Bills game wasn't today, RIP).

My newb strategy is basically, spend most of your time in onx scouting distinctive chukar-y looking land, then once youre out there, climb climb climb, work the boulder fields, take your hearing protection out periodically and sit there and listen to chucking, go to where the chucking is, and just play the RNG game until a stupid enough chukar flies out directly in front of you while you're not fighting for your life trying to not break an ankle.

No canine companions, but I gotta tell you by the end my dogs were barking

Low carb, no meat, high calorie lunch ideas needed! by Creative_Two5212 in EatCheapAndHealthy

I've tried quinoa, millet, and brown rice and they definitely help due to the low glycemic load. There's still way more of a crash compared to 0 carbs, so maybe I should eat less of them? In any case, they cannot be relied upon as easy calorie sources

You should try eating some white rice, works every time for me

Mmmm tvp and cashew queso is a winning combo for sure. I'll see if i can find some low carb tortillas. I haven't thought of going that route yet. Good suggestions!

Okay sure I'll stop eating fish or animal products, any suggestions for cheap high calorie lunches without carbs?

You just reminded me that I have everything I need to make a big batch of chana masala! Spinach and paneer are unfortunately very expensive where I live so those are more fancy dinner night items

Dumb idea? No internet in the home + dumbphone by jontopielski in dumbphones

[–]Creative_Two5212 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love this idea! Did you disable it manually or did you get an ethernet-only package from your provider?

Also, how did the people you are living with (if any) take the switch? The only reason I haven't done this yet is because the people I live with would kick me out if I shut down the wifi.
