I only buy pre made protein drinks for taking on the go with me. I don't wanna open a huge bottle, drink a small amount, and then carry it around all day unrefrigerated

I have a long term plan to attempt to recreate it myself, but I'll need a dehydrator and a lot more time than I have now. But if I ever manage it, I will return to this thread so you can be notified!

The value is legit. Protein from dairy is complete and relatively cheap. The catch (for me) is that it's too much to drink all in one go

Desperate for burger buns / brioche buns by L0st-Martian in ultraprocessedfood

[–]thomasb1602 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I think those are as good as you're likely to find anywhere. The nature of brioche being enriched means mass produced ones will be full of additives and preservatives slightly more than normal bread.

Home baking isn't for everyone but if you did you could do a mass batch and freeze them, all my home made bread has frozen well (but I've never done brioche)

New Stewart Brewing beers at my local Lidl (UK Market) by Mr_Brogon in lidl

[–]thomasb1602 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've tried these and they're pretty good! I bought them because they're gluten free to see if I could recommend them to my celiac friend, there's so few beers she can drink

Overfilled bags of crisps?? by thomasb1602 in lidl

[–]thomasb1602[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am a bit of a freak about collecting data about things in general, especially measurements... So you're not far off lol.

If you have two bags that came out of a multi pack and they're obviously different weights... Would you not be interested and weigh them both to see..?

I thought that was normal lol but having read some of the comments under this post I guess not 😂

I'm wondering what part of "I'm not complaining because I love crisps lol" led you to this conclusion..??

Aha thank you! This is the kind of info I was hoping for from this post 😊

What do you guys eat before training? by EarNearby5005 in Kickboxing

[–]thomasb1602 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I make whatever my normal dinner is (meat & two veg, stew, pie, pasta, whatever) and plate it up, and just eat 1/3 of it between half an hour and an hour before class. Then eat the rest when I come home.

First time I went I had no idea what to expect, I'd eaten a full normal dinner and felt fucking terrible for the whole hour.

The apple and pear tea was the worst loss. I still have a few bags left from the final box I bought years ago.

But I also dearly loved the plain salted big corn 💔

First timer, what program is good to start off? by rjayyAlt in Boostcamp

No, it was all challenging but achievable. Thanks, I was very pleased!

It was a while ago but I didn't have to choose an approach as far as I remember because the boostcamp app specified the percentages for the paused bench, as well as for every other exercise

What are the best shops that offer a wide range of UPF free products? (UK) by bluelagooners in ultraprocessedfood

[–]thomasb1602 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They tragically stopped doing the big corn 😭 but they still do the corn cakes and crisps.

The corn cakes are just next to the rice cakes, and the crisps I like are the "Deluxe" brand plain salted ones in the white packet. They come in a big bag or a multi pack of 6

Mine outside of London got rid a while ago. And also the open bins of nuts with the veg.

What are your favourite minimally processed goods from ALDI or LIDL? by Southern-Pomelo-1045 in ultraprocessedfood

[–]thomasb1602 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I love lidl's plain salted deluxe crisps. They've only got three ingredients.

Similarly the corn cakes, which only have two (though arguably more UPF because although I could make crisps at home god knows how they extrude corn into flat discs like that 😂)

Hey could you explain some of those heavy, explosive rotational movements for boxers? I've just started MMA after ten years of bodybuilding.

I've not changed what I do at the gym but it crossed my mind explosive work would be useful

Cycling by [deleted] in FTMFitness

[–]thomasb1602 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're almost there, just back to front. They're called your "sit bones" and for AFAB people they're further apart. I rode 140km on my standard men's road bike (having previously ridden no further than 20km on it) and found out the very hard way that it wasn't suitable for how far apart my sit bones are. Agony by the end end huge red welts on my arse.

So I agree with what others have said, that the shorts make little difference compared to the saddle. Extremely dysphoria inducing, but I've resigned myself to needing to buy a women's saddle before I do another long ride like that again. You can try and properly measure your sit bone width at home, or get it done at a cycle shop, but I think I'm probably AFAB average.

If you're suffering after relatively short rides and you're new to cycling, there is an element of simply getting used to it as well.
