Dang bro. Hope your hip arthro is a one time deal.I think I retore the labrum repair. I've had it done twice. It doesn't bother like before so I'm not going to get a third one done.
Feels okay. I don't do anything crazy.
Essential Random Gym Thoughts Revisited...
- Thread starter -G$-
- Start date
I was in Mexico
But doing well, transitioning away from my trainer after this month, well down to 2x per week.
Got 10-12 more I want to drop, trying to go hard with it this month, getting a new booty in August (I hope)
Getting the fat transfer or implants?

Diet question.
I'm eating pretty clean atm. Pretty much veg, meat (grilled chicken and turkey meat) fruit and water. I'll also have Alpro hazelnut milk every now and then. (I gave up dairy so it's a convenient low calorie substitute for milk)
I also have smoothies, not branded smoothies you can buy because obviously they're packed with sugar, just ones that i make myself that are usually made from two bananas, frozen berries and water (or hazelnut milk) but I just watched a video where this guy recommended staying away from smoothies because even with fresh ingredients and no additives they still pack a lot of calories and stop you dropping fat. Can anyone confirm?
This diet thing can be so confusing so many people will say different things about whats good for you and whats not.

Depends on the ingredients fam.
That but ultimately it depends on the overall calorie intake.
Calories in, calories out.
2 Bananas = 220 cal
1 cup of mixed berries = 80 calories
3 cups of spinach = 20 calories
1 tbsp of Peanut butter= 100 calories
Water = 0 calories
Total = 420 calories
420 calories for a bkfast smoothie is fine. Add 2 boiled eggs for more protien and your at 560 calories.
You'll be fine. The problem with the smoothies is that it's easy to pack a lot of sugar in them. Just cause you got some spinach in there doesn't mean go crazy with the milk, yogurt and fruit.
Just measure the calories and ensure your in a deficit and you're good.
You may want to sub a banana for a more fiberous fruit e.g apples, pears

Literally as I said. Two bananas, frozen berries, water and a small spoon of cacao powder. NO added sugar, honey, syrup, sweetener etc. what so ever.
Im 5'8 and still 125 apparentlyWhat are you now? How tall?

In that case my smoothies would be at 300 Cal seeing as I dont add peanut butter or spinach. Thanks though man I'll look into swapping one banana with a pear.
Spinach is pretty easy to add in. Very mild flavor but nutrient dense. Kale is a little tougher to incorporate as it has a very woody texture and can be hard to mask.

My post workout smoothie is only like 225-250 cals, if I make it a breakfast smoothie it’s usually ~360 calories
Post workout
1/2 banana - 40 cals
Plain whey Protein powder - 90 cals
1/2 scoop cream flavored plant based protein/meal powder - 45 cals
Two big handfuls of spinach 10-20 cals
1 cup unsweetened almond or cashew milk 25-40 cals
Occascialy add a scoop of insoluble fiber for like 5more cals
235 cals, 26g protein
Breakfast
Do as above
2 tbs oats ~ 40 cals
1 tbs flax seed - 30cals
Other half of the banana 40 cals
~350 cals
If I’m really trying to stay full, then add 1tbs PB for another 90-100 cals

I’ve wanted this done since 07 when I was broke and outta college, way before it became a cheap trip to the DR for social media models. I also don’t want anything ridiculous, just a nice little edit:forgot we can’t use iOS emojis
