Couple of lbs this week which is good as I’ve not done much exercise as I’ve been saving myself for BPW yesterday and a big ride that I’ve got coming up at the weekend.

The most horrific and gripping thing I’ve ever watched on any platform is “Don’t f**k with cats” on Netflix. If you’ve not seen it I’m not sure I could recommend it as it’s pretty disturbing in places but it’s compelling viewing.

I was shocked when I poured out a usual portion of my favourite (but sugary) cereal then weighed out a serving per their nutrition guide. No wonder I’m a fatty.

Yeah I think for me it’s definitely snacks. As posted earlier in the thread. The snickers duo having more calories than my main meal was a shock (I mean I know they’re not great but i…[Read more]

I’ve really found the myfitnesspal calorie counting and also the nutritional side of it helpful. I’m actually thinking about not only the amount of food I’m eating but also the make up of those calories. They also have lots of blogs and links to some decent recipes too.

I’ve lost 7lbs exactly. By Christmas I will weigh at least 7lbs more than I do now 😀

Doing alright. Kept using myfitnesspal to keep track of calories and I’ve been exercising pretty much everyday and staying well below the calorie goal. The biggest help is my wife is on antibiotics for a week which means she can’t drink so there has been no temptation to have beer. I’ve asked her if she can stay on them until March but she doesn…[Read more]

1st 2 episodes were really good, but the last one was pretty poor. Felt like it was trying to be a bit too clever and for me just didn’t work. Dracula needed to go out with more of a bang IMO. Still, overall it was decent.

easily…..

Chicken breast is about 150cals per 100g, and 30% protein so two of them gets you most of the way there (working on the basis that a Tesco pack of two breasts is 300g)

Thanks but I don’t eat meat. I’ve done a bit of research and looks like it isn’t too hard. Tofu, Greek yogurt, nuts and eggs are all stuff I enjoy.

BTW myfitnesspal recommended that I consume 128g of protein yesterday (I did a pretty tough 20 mile zwift workout). Is it even possible to consume that much protein and not be way over on calories?

Heaviest I can ever remember being mostly down to hardly riding for a month and a half due to injury and coinciding with my annual increase in Stella consumption.
Bought another zwift set up over Christmas so will be getting in the miles on that as well as at least one proper ride a week. Also due to changing job in Nov, which means I no longer…[Read more]

I wouldnt be unduly concerned about aching legs after cycling. Most people (including vegetarians) get enough protein, once you work out where to get it from (veg obvs, and the great thing is you can rarely eat too much) I’d be more concerned about diettry fibre.

I Wasn’t overly concerned but they did seem to be aching longer than usual, I jus…[Read more]

have a bigger main meal and the balance will be restored. Sorted!!

You don’t get a body like this by accident 😀

I think I’m in. Emailed Rob again as hadn’t heard anything.
I started keeping a food diary with myfitnesspal a couple of days ago as I’ve stopped eating meat a few months back and was mildly concerned that I wasn’t getting enough protein as I seem to take a few days after a ride before my legs stop aching. Turns out I’m consuming less than half…[Read more]

Well pleased with that. Great game.

and Arsenal. Please…

Surely not now they’ve got Pep jnr?!

love the darts but the quality of the semis and final so far has been disappointing, winning legs in 17 or 18 darts isn’t what we expect!

As a long time fan of darts it pains me to say this, but that would be pretty bloody good for the BDO tournament.
Tonight has been very high standard. Set 3 is classic MVG

So who are the 3 to go down for you?

I’m going for Norwich, Villa and Bournemouth. Think Burnley will get dragged down there but just about survive along with Watford.

That’s both a blow and a blessing. That shit was addictive.

Anyway, I’m going to start looking at short races to get back in the swing of things. See you out there.

Hi Northwind, you have my deepest sympathies. My dad died on 21st Dec 2017 and it feels like it happened yesterday as I have still not gotten over losing him. Take care and look after yourself and those close to you.

I’m back on Zwift after a year or 2 off. I’ve been so fed up with the shite weather that I’ve hardly been riding so need something to avoid being too fat to get on my bike come spring.

My first question is what’s happened to CVR?
