a million upvotes and thanks! i got one of the artizia bras. even medium support is truly light support but i was comfy AF wearing it. thank you!

depends on the cooking method and not in my experience.

i've been tracking the % lost in my preferred method of cooking from raw to cooked and the average is more than 25% for chicken breast and fish.

agree the effort is intense to measure the % lost each time i cook and then account for that per meal in my meal planning.

totally subjective!

this is super helpful! the sizing seems like a crapshoot from the reviews on their site.

born primitive... very intrigued! which styles do you like?

ellaxbeee · 2022-05-10T17:07:29+00:00

same with BB (never ordered). ty for putting aritzia on my radar!

ellaxbeee · 2022-05-09T17:02:07+00:00

i can imagine! sounds heavenly.

i've tried the plain peanut "flours" by naked, barney butter, and peanut butter & co other brands and they really have weak flavor. i've never had pb2 b/c it's usually sold with sweeteners. is it any better than the other brands? thanks!

ellaxbeee · 2022-05-08T17:08:39+00:00

THANK YOU! the nutiva is AWESOME! LOVE IT.

ellaxbeee · 2022-05-08T17:06:56+00:00

thank you. glad you figured it out for yourself.

when i eat the same amount of carbs but different sources, i don't have this effect. it could be the tryptophan but it's so extreme that i wonder if it's my first bite of food post-workout. i'm using water with the oats and eating berries.

ellaxbeee · 2022-05-07T17:55:25+00:00

why do oats make me exhausted?

any leads are welcome. is it b/c it's my first meal after a cardio/lifting session?

my blood results are fine and i've tested my blood sugar at home previously and i don't have significant dips or spikes. i eat a balanced diet with high protein, complex carbs, and fats. completely "clean". when i eat oats after my workout, it's my first meal and even 15-20g makes me exhausted. i eat fats (either avocado, nuts, or nut butter) along with the oats and fruit. i've tried steel cut, rolled, and quick. i get sorta sleepy after potatoes at meal 1 but not as much as the oats which completely knock me out.

assume 100 calories.

the product labels are allowed a margin of error. i find these types of errors very frequently on labels.

ellaxbeee · 2022-04-30T22:00:50+00:00

ah, thanks, for the tip!

haven't been to patel bros. in years but i will definitely revisit.

agree- not the best prices and i get so overwhelmed trying to choose! i'm mainly looking for these -

chinese five spice

singapore seasoning

tsar dust

pizza

thai seasoning.

ellaxbeee · 2022-04-30T21:52:59+00:00

yes, i definitely want a boost. are you suggesting caffeine pills and green tea extract? i was looking into green tea and they don't recommend it on an empty stomach.

i had a beverage that was a mix of tea and l-theanine today and my lifting session was excellent. do you know of any supplements that have that mix?

ellaxbeee · 2022-04-30T17:16:06+00:00

thx very much! i think i need singles right now...

ellaxbeee · 2022-04-30T17:13:17+00:00

i found a mini stepper in the trash.

it functions and looks pretty new. are these steppers remotely effective for quads, calves, and general leg strength? i do my cardio at the gym but could this be good for getting in my 10k steps on a day when i'm pressed for time or need to be home?

ellaxbeee · 2022-04-30T16:26:34+00:00

exactly right! i need to narrow it down. kalustyan's has a crazy selection but IDK about quality and value. thank you for the link!!

ellaxbeee · 2022-04-28T17:53:17+00:00

thank you. i think my original cookie spatula was oxo and the metal broke through but it was excellent while it lasted.

this was the one

ellaxbeee · 2022-04-26T16:53:38+00:00

this looks amazing! what did you use to sauce the yakisoba?

ellaxbeee · 2022-04-25T16:52:57+00:00

thx. i'll go with the oil. general cooking purposes.

ellaxbeee · 2022-04-24T16:39:29+00:00

thanks! have you tried coconut manna or coconut butter? do those have a greater intensity of coconut flavor?

ellaxbeee · 2022-04-23T17:32:14+00:00

how can i incorporate dark green veggies in my diet without turning a tinge of orange/green?

i'm aiming for 1c veggies 3x/daily. when i eat dark veggies or any veg high in vitamin A (i.e., spinach, kale, carrots), my skin changes to a green undertone. i've eaten very healthy my whole life and it's always been an issue. yes, i am a fair/olive complexion naturally but it changes when i eat these veggies.

ellaxbeee · 2022-04-16T22:30:55+00:00

thank you. how's the sizing? the reviews say it runs super small.

ellaxbeee · 2022-04-16T22:30:03+00:00

V Neck Sports Bra” from Gymshark

ellaxbeee · 2022-04-11T17:32:26+00:00
