If possible, window units are way easier and more convenient. Higher BTU units can cool a pretty big room. 8-10k BTUs.

I have older place no central air so that’s what I have I think a 5-10 in my bedroom and I think a bigger 15-20? in my living room that kicks ass cools most of my house With those 2 and it’s get pretty hot where I live.
The small 1 in my bedroom I installed my self and I think I Mabe spent $180? To buy the ac and stuff to install it in the window.
Been dialing my diet, finally figured out a perfect breakfast and macros for my needs. Good energy to start the day. “I use a lot of sourdough because it’s easier to digest than other breads and on top of that I toast is and that makes it easier to digest also lowers carbs.”
4 whole eggs, 4 turkey bacon, 2 toasted sourdough English muffins, scoop avacado, and tiny bit of butter.
Total cost to make around $3.50 and things are pricey in my area.
Macros 700 cal, 56g p, 50g c, 36g f.

The effect of toasting bread on lowering it's carb content has to be extremely small.
Those sammies look delish tho. And great macros.
The Study:
In the study, researchers wanted to investigate how the way in which white bread was prepared affected its impact on subjects’ blood sugar. They recruited 10 healthy people aged 22–59, and gave them homemade and commercial white bread that had been stored and prepared in four different ways. The bread was either eaten fresh, frozen and defrosted, toasted, or frozen and then toasted. Each participant received the differently treated breads in a random order, and researchers measured their blood sugar over a two hour period following ingestion.
The Findings:
The researchers found that in comparison to eating fresh bread, all treatment methods led to a significant reduction in the blood sugar response, which was measured using a metric called the incremental area under the glucose response curve (iAUC). While iAUC is not the same thing as the glycaemic index, it is used to calculate GI, with higher iAUC translating to higher GI.
Back to the bread: the researchers found that just toasting the homemade bread decreased its iAUC by about 25%. Freezing and then defrosting the bread was more effective, decreasing the iAUC by about 30%. When these two methods were combined, they decreased iAUC by about 40%. The results were similar for commercial bread, though interestingly, freezing followed by toasting was not significantly more effective than toasting alone.

Thank you!
Hey, I am from Europe, I am a breadaholic.
Thanks, AlexD

Yea what Alex said. I was honestly thinking the same thing he said it’s probably not much of a difference but with anything in this life style I will take even a 1 or 2 % enhancement anywhere I can.
But I do prefer to toast mainly for the digestion and taste/crunch, the lowering of carbs is a plus and it lowers way more than I though after seeing the study you posted, that’s awesome. I like to see my half baked planes confirmed with some real study.
I also freeze half of my breads I try and buy in bulk at Cosco, I’ll use half and freeze half because I noticed the bread goes bad faster than I use. I’m a breadaholic myself, so I limit, I feel great eating it but look like crap lol.
What’s an America in the bathroom? A ur a pein. lol joke from first grade.
But seriously how did I graduate hs with solid b’s in English and u Europeans “is that spelled right”? lol And my wife born in Latin America, dident come here until elementary school, have better spelling pronunciation than I do? Mabe I’m just some type of retarded and my teachers thought I was going to get a sports scholarship lol.
But my math does have to be better than most of u guys with that metric system lol.

Only posting this because I grew it. Snacking on a dragon fruit I just grabbed from the yard.

Yeah it's warm. These actually have some good flavor. They have to pick them too early to get them in stores. I took this one straight from the cactus to the kitchen.

Don't mention it, I love bread black and white or whatever. I just do my best to skip through that when I'm shopping. Stuff is so calorie dense and not satiable it's so easy to over eat. Bulking and lazy to prep food? Meat and bread got you covered lol.

I've been trying to keep my calories low (below ~1500 now + cardio every morning) and these are some of my meals. Each main meal contains around 6oz (170grs) of cooked chicken/beef/fish and 6oz (170grs) of veggies. It is around 300-500 calories (depending on the meat) with ~40 grams of protein and very low carbs.
I'm a little confused some times because even if I eat on a deficit + cardio + weight lifting 5 days a week, sometimes I wake up with an additonal 1kg on the scale, few days later I'd go back to where I was or less. I'm still learning and adjusting along the way but eating on a deficit expectations vs reality get hard sometimes.

Trust the process not the scale. Water comes and goes. If I'm really trying to watch the scale I do it in 7 day averages. Food looks great.
