No-excuses Posted February 5, 2012 Author Share Posted February 5, 2012 What I ate today: BFast: Vega Sport Protein mixed in water, bananaSnack: 1/2 vegan protein barLunch: Spring mix with vinegar and oil, 1 Morning star vegan pattySnack: skipped today, Dinner: Too much Vegan "quesidilla", veggie burger on white bread, yam fries..just bad. I ate too much because I skipped my mid-afternoon meal and we had friends over for "take out" dinner. Between my 2 daughters running around and trying to hold a conversation, I was just inhaling food. This was a high calorie dinner. On top of that, today was a rest day! What do you guys do to make up for a poor eating day? Do you do extra cardio/workout? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synny667 Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 I don't beat myself up. I acknowledge my binge and just put it behind me. I just hit the gym hard but that is a given period for me anymore. They are calling me beast now haha. But seriously don't beat yourself up over it. Just portion it out and enjoy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C.O. Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 What's jarrow protein? Is that a brand or a type of food? Does it taste good? I'm usually taking vega or hemp blends. Always looking to change it up though. -Dylan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synny667 Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 Dylan jarrow formula is a brand of protein. It is very bland but by far the only rice protein I can drink with water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
