I've gotten really lazy with cooking since I started studying but I still track macros...That still allows me to eat out as long as I track the foods using their nutrition menus.

I used to track my food, and I'm glad I don't anymore. For any meal I eat a palm sized portion of protein, add some good fats (ghee, oils, butter, etc.) and have 2-3 cups of veggies/greens. Stay away from grains, legumes, and added sugars. Eating healthy is all about eating fresh, whole foods. Nothing in a box. And since I saw something about eggs earlier itt, they do not raise your cholesterol. I eat 4-5 eggs everyday and cholesterol numbers are great and my heart is very healthy.

I definitely do not eat as healthy as you do. LOL. I do IIFYM because I can eat things like pop tarts or chipotle pretty often. hahah. Granted, I ate a traditional bodybuilder brown rice/broccoli/chicken diet while I was losing 75+ pounds. It definitely worked but mentally was drained after a year. I've since picked up powerlifting which really revved up my metabolism and can maintain weight on 3200+ cals.

Pffftt. My favorite quick and easy dinner is coconut curry chicken stir fry on a bed of cauliflower rice. It's delicious, easy, and super healthy.

I powerlift as well. It's the best form of exercise you can do, imo. I run as well because I enjoy it, but powerlifting + diet is an excellent way to get in great shape fast.

I cut up some chicken breasts (preferably air-chilled, organic, pastured) and pan fry them in coconut oil, then add whatever veggies you like (I like carrots, broccoli, bamboo shoots, and a variety of peppers) and finally add coconut milk and curry powder or paste to achieve your desired texture and taste. For the cauliflower rice, just grate some cauliflower up coarsely and then saute it in coconut oil with onion and garlic. Meal takes 20-30 minutes with prep for me.

Are you sure you're reviewing properly and have done the requisite foundational work? Unless you've been studying for the test for two years I can't possible imagine how you've taken every single test 5 times with proper studying habits.

On and off it has actually been two years lol but most of it I have taken two full tests a day.

Yeah, this. I mean, it's incredible that you've covered that much material, but it also indicates that there's probably something lacking in your depth of review.

I think so as well. I just don't know how to go about it lol

Thank you! I've been looking for new recipes for chicken!

It's like they're finally the team we thought they would be. Plus Kari looks like a real goalie again. I try to schedule studying around the stars so far I've been successful.
