RubiksCat Posted August 18 Report Share Posted August 18 I noticed you've been switching back and forth between protein shakes one day and greek yogurt on other days. I just bought some greek yogurt from H-E-B earlier today (it's my first time buying a full tub of it). Would you say the greek yogurt does a good job on it's own keeping you full in between meals? If you were to use 3/4 cup to 1.5 cups of greek yogurt i mean (that's how much i plan on using). I don't know how much you use. As for the not being able to keep the 3.5 mph pace, you'll get there! Every single day you'll go a little bit farther and stronger than yesterday. ??? 2 Quote Link to comment
ReturnOfTheDad Posted August 18 Author Report Share Posted August 18 49 minutes ago, RubiksCat said: Would you say the greek yogurt does a good job on its own keeping you full in between meals? Good question, I use protein shakes after lifting and jujitsu sessions and Greek yogurt mostly on rest days, hence the switching. I find 1 cup of Greek yogurt filling as a midday snack so I don’t feel the need to eat a heavy lunch (trying to work on my calorie intake). I tried doing Greek yogurt after heavy lunch work outs, but I had trouble keeping it down, so I found protein shakes easier on my system and more quickly get the protein and carbs I need into my body after a strenuous workout. Just what I’ve found works for me. 55 minutes ago, RubiksCat said: As for the not being able to keep the 3.5 mph pace, you'll get there! Thanks! Shooting for a little better every day. 1 Quote Link to comment
