My mom found a simple recipe for making bread using zucchini for the wet ingredients. No oils. She’s made bread before but always considered it not worth the time and effort until this. We load it up with minced garlic too. Probably one of my most favorite breads to have. That and a good sourdough.

I make bread out of Einkorn flour. It's one wheat flour that many with gluten intolerance can have. A simple recipe and it's good. The flour is more expensive but for those with non-celiac gluten issues, it's worth it.

It's been a long time since my personal trainer days, and I'm sure science and common wisdom has changed a fair but since the 90s, but from my years in the weight room I'd say you can get away with a lot less protein, especially if you're not spending 8 hours in the weight room a day. I'd shoot for 75-100 grams a day, 60 minimum and see how things go. I was always strongly in favor of natural protein over powders as who the H knows what's actually in there... And back in the day, the cheapest way to max out on protein (and mercury) was tuna. Eggs (whites especially) have a higher biological compatibility with human muscle but I think cost wise those days are over.

You only really need enough protein to compensate for how hard you hit it in the gym, and I don't think anyone I ever worked with needed more than 100g a day. That'll cover pretty serious workouts.

Pass...

Too much bread, wouldn't be good for my glucose numbers.

Naw bro, I'm T2 diabetic and that hamburger pizza is mostly meat and thus low carb.
The only bread is the crust on the bottom.

True, proportionally the bread is a small part of the dish.

Unfortunately, I don't think carbs being a small percentage of whole dish is what makes things low carb, it's the actual number of carbs in the portion. Not knowing what the portion size is it could actually be low carb, but...

When you eat the WHOLE thing it's still going to be a lot of carbs.

My current stress levels, it's not like my blood sugar is going to be good anyway. Maybe the stress reduction of comfort food would be enough to offset the increase from carbs.

I'll have to keep an eye out for those. I've beenusing the Mission Carb Balance stuff. Lower on sugar and net carbs, higher on fiber. Not quite as good on protein, but still 5-6g per. I know that Blmpkn's focus is on protein, but always good to have more options.

Right on. I probably won't worry about the full gram per lb that whatever it was told me to aim for.. I'll still aim for as much as I can get though. Pretty sure today I'm mabey a hair over 100grams.. and just did my "workout"

Totally kills me but.. I can't stand eggs. It doesn't matter how they're prepared or what they're mixed in with.. I just can't do it. The smell.. the taste.. texture.. Yuck. The only way I can consume eggs and not want to barf is in the Pillsbury toaster scrambles lol.. the ones with bacon. Theyre probably not even real eggs

That being said.. I've been surprised in just how little it takes to start actually building strength. I've been doing 3 sets of 20 pushups whenever I work out and just after a couple weeks I can definitely step that up to 25 per set. I've read that a pushup is about 75% of your bodyweight so.. almost makes me want to look around and find a used bench and some weights.. idk if I want to get that into it though lol. I used to ride an assload of BMX and MTB back in the day.. but it's probably been 7 years since I was on a bike. I just want to regain the strength I've lost in my shoulders/chest/back and legs from not biking.. as ive definitely lost quite a bit. I feel like I can get back to that point with the super basics and mabey a set of adjustable dumbbells.. a pull up bar too.

One thing I've noticed over the years is that many people give up in the first month because they're not seeing the results they're hoping for. That's a bummer because it's in the second month, and especially the third and on where you really start to see good gains in strength and or mass, depending on what you're training for.

Based on your goals it sounds like a nice quality used rowing machine would be perfect for you. That and pushups covers everything you mentioned. And obviously get on a bike again
Also, try pushups with your feet on the first step of a staircase or similar (toes 10-12 inches above the surface your hands are on) if you want to amp up your pushups... And it'll hit your anterior deltoids a bit more too.

This will sound like a joke, but....

The Charles Atlas program. Your exercise equipment is stuff around the house.

Besides, it is the way to keep the big bully from kicking sand in your face and stealing your girlfriend.
