A custom domain has finally been added. So don't adjust your web browser. The free blogger name has finally been replaced and is redirecting to a new customdomain name. Well not really new. I've has this name since January 8th of 2007. I just never knew what to do with it untill now. Anyhow on to the story.
Today's challenge of eating right and exercising is not the easiest. Especially given the lack of options out there. Cooking at home is also hard if you can't find anything worth cooking that taste good and is good for you. Even if you don't care about taste as much as health it can still prove to be a very difficult challenge.
Protein is also very important for the body. Too much is bad for you. But some body builders insist to loose weight you need at least 1 pound of protein for every pound of body fat. But I weigh about 160 pounds so 160 grams of protein seems almost impossible. Although some insist its easy by eating a lot of tuna and other healthy fats. In addition I found other things that also have high protein content. The pea protein listed below is a bit high in sodium so I just have 1 serving which is 2 scoops at night before I goto bed. I mix it with a glass of almond milk (the 3 half gallons in the red and blue rectangle box from costco) because I'm lactose intolerant and I have asthma. Regular milk is mucus forming and is bad for asthma. Goat milk supposedly neutralizes mucus or so I read on the internet. But I could not tell the difference. But the almond milk does not give me any problem. There is also a sugar free version sold in many stores including whole foods but the sugar free stuff tastes like crap.

My only complaint is the bottle is too small. And the scoop is really dug in there. So its gets kinda messy digging it out and putting it back in. Not to mention reusing it and scooping out the powder for subsequent uses since there is not much room to dig my big hand in there in the first place.
Best is to dump the whole thing into a gallon zip lock bac and keep it in the fridge. Its easier to work with. Or dump it into a bowl and remove the scoop. And keep the scoop aside. And then funnel the powder back into the bottle. Trying to grap it otherwise is messy and spills a lot of the powder.
