Are @questnutrition muffins studs or duds?

I bought these off of @VitaminShoppe’s website for $25 for a pack of 8. So they are around $3 per muffin which I think is a very reasonable price.

They are 200 calories with 10g of protein so they don’t pass The Test; however, one muffin has 10g of fiber which is significant. A Dunkin’ muffin, on the other hand, is 460 calories with 6g of protein and only 1g of fiber.

Both the chocolate chip and blueberry muffins kind of blew me away. They were both moist which is hard to achieve when making protein baked goods.

To me, these are solid studs🏆

Client Spotlight: Stephen, a Zemer Method coaching client using @getverb, is a returning client who went from 250lbs to 200lbs losing a significant 50lbs on coaching. Let’s take a look at his successes on coaching:

✅ Shed 22lbs and transformed his physique this fat loss phase
✅ Consistently hit 7k+ steps per day and lifted 3x per week
✅ Stayed the course despite a busy schedule and family

Stephen is a rockstar client who has now worked with me twice. His first fat loss phase, he went from 250lbs to 216lbs. Then he ventured on his own to lose more but it turned into a maintenance phase, then a slight gain to 222lbs.

With this round of coaching, we have effectively completed a fat loss phase from 222lbs to 200lbs with an ultimate goal of mastering maintenance at 200lbs. Our primary focus with Round 2 was honing in on making this fat loss SUSTAINABLE. We sprinkled in maintenance weeks throughout his very social summer season. This extended the duration of his fat loss, but it made it much more sustainable for him.

In Stephen’s case, it’s easy to remember life gets in the way. What’s important is that we always find our way back on the rails and put ourselves and our health first.

Trying the @Barebells.USA birthday cake protein bar.

These are, unfortunately, going viral for the wrong reasons. Almost every review I’ve seen of these are negative, but I had to see for myself.

These are 210 calories with 20g of protein – these narrowly miss the Protein Test. Compared to my favorite Barebells flavor, Chocolate Dough, which has 200 calories and 20g protein – these have slightly inferior macros. I won’t hold that against them.

First note about this bar is that it’s white chocolate which I don’t like, so that wasn’t promising. It tastes like it has stale sprinkles and stale rice krispies on top of the white chocolate taste which absolutely didn’t work for me.

This is a hard pass for me. Almost every other flavor is vastly superior to this.

We’re at @Costco looking at my favorite breads while on a diet:

🥉 @schmidtoldtyme 647 Bread – 40 calories, 7g fiber, 2g protein
🥈 @josephspitabread Lavash – 110 calories, 7g fiber, 10g protein
🥇 @missionfoodsus Carb Balance – 70 calories, 17g fiber, 6g protein

Everyone knows that my 🏆 winner is Mission Carb Balance wraps – I use these nearly every day because they are so versatile and give you a HUGE fiber boost.

I like Lavash because you can make interesting things with it like pizzas and the 647 bread is a great option for sandwiches or burgers.

Have you tried any of these? What’s your favorite?

I have been very open about my love for tortilla chips. The one food I genuinely cannot keep in the house or have around me. They are too tempting to grab and binge… so how do I attack Mexican restaurants?

1️⃣ Is it a special occasion? If so, keep calories lighter during the day. This will allow us a bigger calorie bank for the meal, allowing us to enjoy whatever we want in moderation.

2️⃣ Just a normal dinner? Here’s what I would do:

🔘 Avoid the chips – I straight up tell the server not to bring them to the table. But if I am at the table with other people and that isn’t appropriate, I do my damndest not to dip in.
🔘 Fajitas with lean protein – I usually do the shrimp or chicken.
🔘 Guacamole and beans – this is preferred over the sour cream and rice.
🔘 Corn tortilla – way less calories than the flour tortillas.

Here are some more of my Dos and Don’ts:
DO: Opt for beans and veggies
DON’T: Choose the fried option
DO: Pick lean meats for your entree
DON’T: Choose the taco salad just because it’s a ‘salad’… that’s a generous word

Here are a few high protein breakfast options at @TraderJoes:

1️⃣ Breakfast wrap: pick up any of TJ’s chicken sausages (they all pass The Test), their carb savvy wraps, and some shredded cheese and eggs. Boom!

2️⃣ PB&J shake: grab their frozen berry medley, nonfat greek yogurt, skim milk, and (my personal favorite) the no-stir peanut butter.

3️⃣ Protein pancakes: take TJ’s protein pancake mix and prepare with egg whites. They taste delicious and boost the macros!

4️⃣ Omelet: prepare some eggs and egg whites and top with nutritional yeast. 20 calories and 3g of protein per tablespoon. Tastes just like cheese.

How do I make time to use my @SISU_sauna with a demanding career and a family?

I talk about the science and benefits of saunas all the time but the true science lies in the application.

In my house, around 7pm is bathtime. That’s when I open my SISU app and preheat my sauna to 200* with a 2-hour time limit. After bath time and bedtime, my sauna is heated and ready to go.

Depending on how I’m feeling or the atmosphere at home, I’ll either let the timer run out and have the sauna turn off or I’m able to get in for 20-40 minutes. I’m lucky enough that I’m able to use my sauna 3-4 nights a week. Sometimes it’s a solo endeavor but my wife also likes to join me.

This remote start has been a gamechanger for using the sauna and I absolutely love having it available to use every evening.

Client Spotlight: Christian, @CWoodward1007, a Zemer Method coaching client using @getverb, achieved incredible results on coaching by losing 18lbs despite facing various obstacles along the way. Here are some of his successes:

✅ Shed 18lbs, transforming his physique completely

✅ Consistently hit 10k+ steps per day and lifted 4x per week

Christian’s fitness journey started off a bit rocky as we navigated his busy work life, knee injury, and extensive travel. But once he understood the importance of using a food scale and logging accurately, his progress took off and even enjoyed creating recipes that would stick for a lifetime.

At everyone’s favorite fast-casual Chinese restaurant: @PandaExpress.

I love Panda Express because it is very easy to stay on the rails while dieting. Here is what I would tell a client to order:

🍽️ A plate with:

Super Greens – 90 cals | 6g protein
Chicken Teriyaki – 275 cals | 33g protein
Beef and Broccoli – 150 cals | 9g protein
Total – 515 cals | 48g protein

If you are wanting lighter calories, just skip the Beef and Broccoli. This will bring your total to 365 cals, 39g protein.

What’s your go-to order at Panda Express?

I usually go grocery shopping 2-3 times a week.

In today’s video, I’m bringing you along for a typical trip to @WholeFoods. I picked up dinner for the next three days and stocked up on food that I’ll actually eat throughout the week. As someone who’s really passionate about food science, grocery shopping is something I genuinely enjoy.
