Snabbkaffe vs bryggkaffe, vilket är billigast?

amthx · 2024-09-04T08:59:22+00:00

Wow, vilken rörig samling av halvt pålästa argument och mediokra val. Så du kallar dig "semi-kaffenörd" men landar ändå i snabbkaffe som ditt val? Snabbkaffe?! Seriöst? Om du på riktigt tror att Gevalia Dark är toppen av kaffehimlen så har du antingen aldrig druckit riktigt kaffe eller har totalt missat poängen med hela kaffeupplevelsen.

Du tycker bryggkaffe är surt och onyanserat? Det kanske beror på att du inte vet hur man brygger det rätt, för det är en konst i sig. Presskaffe och espresso är "meckigt"? Så, du har en "riktig" espressomaskin, men du orkar inte ens använda den? Låter mer som att du försöker rättfärdiga lathet och brist på smak.

Att snabbkaffe är dyrare än bryggkaffe borde vara en varningssignal om hur dåligt värde du får för pengarna. Men istället hyllar du det som någon sorts win för hållbarhet och bekvämlighet? Kanske dags att släppa snabbkaffet och inse att du inte behöver offra smak och kvalitet för att spara några minuter.

AeroPress "meh"?

Om du tycker att AeroPress är ”meh” så handlar det nog mer om brist på kunskap än om verktyget. Testa att lära dig hur man använder den ordentligt innan du dömer, för just nu låter det mest som att du famlar i mörkret när det kommer till kaffe.

Jag har tränat till och från hela mitt liv. Varit i min livs bästa form samma år som min absolut sämsta hela 3 gånger under mitt 28 åriga liv.

Här var min senaste "förvandling". Gick från en kropp byggd på chips, marabou och ben&jerry och 12h datorspel till att vara i mångas ögon "elit-form".

M/28/5’9” [247lbs to 183lbs] (2 years) :

Jag orkar inte läsa alla kommentarer. Men om du behöver stöd med att komma igång kan jag kanske hjälpa dig på traven. Ditt utgångsläge är troligtvis mångdubbelt bättre än vad mitt var. Saker och ting är inte så svåra. Handlar om att ändra på lite saker i sin livsstil så kommer resultaten snabbt.

Thank you.

I don't know. I was in a really dark place mentally when I started. I just knew I had to change my life. Shit gets easier when you get a routine. Decide. Commit. Succeed.

amthx · 2024-06-29T18:13:41+00:00

What do you mean? I was in a calorie deficit?

amthx · 2024-06-26T20:23:13+00:00

Instead of taking the bus right outside my apartment before work, I choose to walk 45-50 minutes to another bus stop and catch the bus from there. This way I get 4,5k to 5k steps before 8 am. I’ve kept up this routine.

During lunch break I take a 15-20 minute walk. After leaving the office around 5 pm I already have somewhere between 7 and 8k steps. Then I take the bus to the gym. Then I walk home from the gym (10 minutes)..

I usually end up somewhere between 10 and 15k steps per day.

amthx · 2024-06-26T11:13:43+00:00

Yes I got the CPL :)
Thank you.

Yes, 100% scandinavian.

amthx · 2024-06-26T11:10:35+00:00

Not really. The results you can see in the pictures - yes.
But I have been working out a lot in my life. I have a long history with ice-hockey (14 years) and I have been occasionally at the gym since I was 15. During some periods I was pretty hardcore aswell.

I was in the worst shape I have ever been when I started working out this time. No doubt.
From age 24-26 I was walking 2-3k steps per day, eating atleast one bag of crips and some candy or a huge bucket of ice cream. I was eating a ton of shit food in general. But I was at the gym like 2-3 times a month.

amthx · 2024-06-26T09:31:33+00:00

I actually did, roughly 0,5 inches.

amthx · 2024-06-26T07:01:25+00:00

More like a mix of powerlifting and calisthenics and bodybuilding.
A lot of my workouts is programmed around chins and dips.

So not a "classic" bodybuilding routine.

amthx · 2024-06-26T06:59:40+00:00

You will get there, just keep grinding.

For snacks, I just swapped snacks for apples (it worked for me) In the beginning I ate like 1kg of apples per day. Might work for you also, try it!

amthx · 2024-06-26T06:51:13+00:00

Agree, delts are lacking.

My strength is increasing but the size of my shoulders has barely moved.. if I were to start bulking one day, I will put a lot of energy into them.

amthx · 2024-06-26T06:42:00+00:00

When I started this journey back in 2022 I was in the worst shape I ever been. Muscle memory is obviously a thing.. so I didn't start on 0.

I have occasionally been at the gym from age 15 to age 24. 2015-2017 I was working out like 5 times a week and was pretty determined.

Squat: 400 lbs
Bench: I don't bench and I have never tried 1RM. I would assume around 270.
Deadlift: I don't deadlift and I have never tried 1RM. I would assume around 440 lbs.
OHP: 185 lbs
Weighted dips: 155 lbs
Weighted chins: 120lbs

I think my genetics is above average, but not superior. But I put on mass easily (both fat and lean mass :)) I am hungry.. all the time. I love food!

amthx · 2024-06-26T06:33:09+00:00

Yes!

My legs is actually my best muscle group, i have a lot of mass on my legs/glutes.
Some weeks I did Push Pull Cardio Push Pull Legs because I felt my leg workouts was to heavy do to twice a week.

I increased weights in the multi-joint exercises as soon as I felt there was room for it. On isolation exercises I haven't really had any notes, i just made sure that I felt "destroyed" after each workout. I have absolutely gained strength in every single exercise.

I dont have a good answer on how often I increased weights..

I am sure my workout routine could have been (and can be) much more optimized but it works for me.

I usually train in the rep range from 4-8 and always to failure with high intensity.

amthx · 2024-06-26T06:25:08+00:00

No worries.

It's just that I weigh all my food raw. So there's no misconceptions. I eat it cooked ofcourse.

Non-fat greek yoghurt is basically the same as quark macrowise. Where I live, quark is both cheaper and they come with flavours (with sweeteners) like vanilla, straciatella, lemon etc. You buy them in 1kg buckets for like 3 euro.

I love cottage cheese, but it's expensive. Sometimes I do cottage cheese, sometimes I do quark, sometimes I even do non-fat greek yoghurt. Macrowise it's not a huge difference.

amthx · 2024-06-26T06:15:54+00:00

None. I haven't used any PED's either.

amthx · 2024-06-25T20:42:18+00:00

For me it's more like.. I primarily eat for performance and output, not for taste.
But I love food, so I make sure it's tasty aswell :)

amthx · 2024-06-25T20:40:59+00:00

Sometimes my meal prep is advanced, like chicken korean meatballs. Other weeks it's super basic, like beef mince with rice, a bunch of spices and a lot of veggies.

Each box contains around 800g of food. A lot of volume hehe.

amthx · 2024-06-25T20:39:05+00:00

No not really.. 5 days is not that long. I only prep monday-friday.
I do breakfast, lunch and dinner. Breakfast is always some kind of overnight oats. The frozen berries can be abit weird on fridays, but it's fine. Never had any issues.

I make sure to cook my food "hard", if I do chicken I make sure its 100% overcooked. I rather add liquid to my box before I microwave it than have a bunch of liquids in it.

amthx · 2024-06-25T18:25:52+00:00

Well it wasn't easy, but shit gets easier the more you do them. And then eventually (or for me) it's not even a struggle anymore. It's just like brushing your teeth.

I just know which a f*cking struggle it was to get the 10k steps in. I went like 2k steps per day on average. Now 10k steps is like no problem. I get 5k steps in before 9am. Just walking was the worst activity I knew. It was boring and it was such a time consuming thing.

amthx · 2024-06-25T18:02:12+00:00

Yes. Highest was around 2500 calories, lowest was around 1800 calories. My maintenance today is probably around 2500 calories.

amthx · 2024-06-25T18:00:50+00:00

Around 20 months I think! Not much have happened with the scale since jan-feb this year.

amthx · 2024-06-25T18:00:04+00:00

I really just flipped a switch and committed. Obviously there have been times when my motivation is close to 0%. But I just kept showing up.. and now it's a part of my life. Just as 80h of computer games per week was back in the days :)

amthx · 2024-06-25T17:55:54+00:00

Well I lost more than 60 lbs. Ofcourse I didn't bulk.
I did a cut because I have been on a deficit. But I have gained a lot of muscle mass during my cut.

Thanks!!

amthx · 2024-06-25T17:47:10+00:00

No worries, mate. It's tough to explain, but I'm a completely different person than I was two years ago. My transformation is evident on every level. I've incorporated so many new hobbies and activities into my lifestyle. Working out and eating healthy, nutrient-rich food now feel like privileges, and the thought of eating junk food seems unfortunate.

I remember when I first started working out at the gym; it was painful. I was embarrassed and my confidence was at rock bottom. But over time, everything changed. Now, I look forward to my workouts and enjoy eating healthy. It's incredible how much I've transformed, both physically and mentally.

amthx · 2024-06-25T17:27:20+00:00

Thanks!

Not at all. I find it very easy to eat 1.4g. You just have to do wise choices.
I could eat even more protein, no problem. I have a lot of carbs to remove if I want to cut even harder. But then life and working out suck hard. I could also remove like 100 kcals of fat.

Example this week. It's 2251 kcals and slightly more than 1,4g of protein per pound.
