My wife makes these fuckin awesome hamburger cup cakes. Prepare the hamburger just like a meat loaf and into a cup cake pan, bake and top it with mashed potatoes. When its done right look just like cup cakes. Cmon what could be better than that!

Damn I've been busy with work lately and haven't had much MESO time. Diet is still in check. Low carb day/off day, will be carbing up the next two and hitting the weights
Hard!

OS - Im a fritter-freak , Ive loved them since I was a kid . Nothing says carbs & calories like a overgrown Apple Fritter !! This baby must have been close to 800 cals , yet the next day I was down 1/2 lb. (trench digging will burn the calories) .....~Ogh

All I read was hamburger cupcakes and I think I blacked out..
Grilled salmon spinach salad last night, threw the leftover salmon in my eggwhite omelet this am. Been dragging this week and took a 5hr energy shot, I'm not sure how I feel about these things. May get back on the coffee train unless someone can recommend a stim that won't give me shaky hands.

Kickin coffee is a hard one . one of my few vices left , kicked alcohol & nicotine but coffee seems so innocent (until you try & kick it !) Goodluck Tango.

They can keep the 5hr Energy , nasty tastin crap , not for me ,lol. ~Ogh

I haven't had a cup off coffee in a LONG time...but I'm thinking about picking back up! I had to kick it because although I didn't seem to wired it would make my hands shake with interfered with my day to day routine. I used to get these little glass vials that looked kinda like gear that was super concentrated ginseng liquid. Had like a tan label and some chinese writing on them but I haven't seen them in awhile. I don't do preworkouts, and try not to have caffeine but isn't there some over the counter stims that have more of an herbal ingredient profile? Some guys are on that Hydroxycut SX-7 and like it but it's way to expensive just too use it as a pick-me-up. I'm still trying to kick the can maybe I will go for the good ol' replacement technique and just start taking pinches of coffee grounds

When I was kicking the can I chewed the nicotine gum for a month or so . Then started reducing the gum . I did it in stages then one day I just quit . And never went back . 25 yrs of dipping so I was no amateur , but my stomach has thanked me ever since (I use to have gut wrenching acid-reflux , it was the dip) Im still kinda worried abot stomach/mouth cancer 5 yrs later . ~Ogh

I kicked this habit as well last year OGH. Very tough. When you make it part of your routine for 15 years it becomes a hard habit to quit. My stomach and mouth thank me now............

It's been well over a week for me trying to kick the caffeine habit. The headaches are mostly gone now, that's the worst part! I think I'm cured lol, until the next time

Hey Furious - Help out Tango (TEK) hes trying to kick caffiene too .....~Ogh

 

[FuriousWO]

Here's what I did..
I went cold turkey and the headaches kicked in immediately. I would take two Excedrine, they are 65mg caffeine each. That got me over the mid day headaches.
Did that everyday for about a week. I also had some unsweet iced tea. There's not nearly as much caffeine in that.

All in all it a slow weening off process but I think today is about day 10 or so and I feel much better now. I still get a mild headache but it's much later in the day and I can ignore it

Good luck Tango!

I stayed away from the monsters, 5hr energy and others too

 

[Oregongearhead]

^^^^ Great response Furious !! And great tips too , I like the Excedrin thing , that sounds better than the gum . And yes you have to exclude anything with caffiene . Bye-Bye Red Bulls , Monsters ,tea, anything with caffiene . 10 days is what I hear too, actually they say it takes 2 weeks to pick-up a new habit or to drop a old habit . Good tips today !!~Ogh

Lazy morning - breakfast was my mix (beef,chicken,rice mix) with 4 scrambled eggs + coffee . ~Ogh

 

[Oregonstrong]

High carb day and cheat meal tonight! First one in a while. Chicken/beef fajitas corn tortillas!

 

[FuriousWO]

I started out great!

Oats and honey
Gym
Egg whites and chicken w hot sauce.

The wheels kinda fell off after that on a family day trip. Not so much bad food as lack of food.

Back in track for dinner.

So what's better eating bad food and hitting calories intake (didn't say macros) or lack of food and calories?

 

[Oregongearhead]

Supper: Chicken breast & 1 cp steel-cut oatmeal /butter/honey...yum ~Ogh

I would think it would depend on your goals. Are you trying to lean up or bulk up? If leaning up I would go with less and quality, If you are trying to gain I think I would go for hitting your cals. Thats how I would decide.
