So is Coffee good or bad for you??

Seems like every week a new report comes out showing the benefits and evils of consuming coffee.  Personally I believe drinking small size cups of coffee with no added junk is perfectly fine and actually has some advantages for athletes.

Shakeology protein balls

I think I finally found the perfect homemade protein bar mix. In my past attempts I tried to make non-baked Shakeology Protein Bars, but they were always too goey and messy.

News Flash – Eating at McDonald’s is not healthy

Appears this is a news flash because I can’t understand how folks can still eat there. And now the rush is on the get the limited supply of McRibs. A sandwich that contains no rib meat of any kind, a BBQ sauce loaded with HFCS, and 70 other synthetic chemicals, 34 of which are in […]

Be a less meatatarian
