Anybody have an easy mental system for macros sushi? I go out for sushi once a week, every place has a different roll — if a roll has 7 things I don’t want to spend so long on my app tracking estimations for each small separate ingredient. Would love some kind of ethnic foods guide like the fast food one !!

I would love more on this too! Sushi is one of our favorites. A this point I just save it for my date dinner and enjoy it without over indulging.

me too — when there is Bogo I’m trying to convince my partner to instead of us each get two sushi rolls, we do 2 (so pay for 1 get 1 free)… but it’s actually choosing just 1 thing out of all the sushi rolls that is the hardest for me. I do like sashimi, but the sashimi where we regularly go is not great -except I prefer salmon sashimi and usually…Read More

When we do get sushi, i try to just get one roll. or we get 3 together and I have a few slices of the second roll. I always try to steer clear of anything fried or tempura or a lot of creamy sauces. I also always get edamame as an appetizer. Filling, fiber, and good protein. Plus they take a while to eat because you have to get them out of the shells.

Anyone else here struggling with chronic pain conditions for which you have to take medicine? Or weight lifting and designing a program with a major muscle group you cannot hit ?

Hi! I have endometriosis, adnemyosis, SIBO, hypothyroidism, interstitial cystitis, and a few more chronic conditions that aren’t pain related!
Can def be a struggle but I’m mostly in remission and focus on making sure I’m doing everything I can to keep my chronic conditions under control.

I dealt with hip and leg pain for over 5 years. I used to be a runner, but I had to stop. I started weight lifting because I had way less pain from that. Unfortunately because of how often we move with my husband’s job, I’m never with a doctor long enough to figure out what is causing it’s until last October. I was diagnosed with tronc…Read More

Going to talk to a coach about some of these things but – doubtful I’ll find anyone who can properly program a split for me that isn’t like — ok every other thing in this list sets me off.
I take 2 hrs out of my work day weekly for cupping and dry needling which keeps me in the gym doing any upper body at all.

Raw vs cooked weight on sweet potatoes — in past I just baked and used an MFP entry to track my meal plan 130f, ‘sweet potato, cooked’ … but I air fried them this week and now I’m up to 2 24oz boxes of pre cut potato to get 6 meals with 130g servings … realizing maybe I need to do less than 130g when air fried to get the same # of carbs ? If…Read More

Air-frying pulls out more water than baking, so your sweet potatoes end up lighter but denser in carbs per gram. That’s probably why your usual 130g servings aren’t stretching as far.
A good rule of thumb—air-fried sweet potatoes can lose around 25-35% of their weight. So if you were eating 130g of baked sweet potato before, the air-fried equiv…Read More
