Okay, so, don’t judge me for this one. In the past I would have immediately dismissed anything that started with “canned chicken,” but hear me out. 1 can of chicken (5oz) drained, add 1 tsp of mayo and some Frank’s Red Hot Wing Sauce. 23g protein, 4g fat, 0g carb. Scoop it onto celery. Sooooo good!
You are hardcore.
I’ve had canned chicken. It’s not bad at all. I also dig your style with the hot sauce.
Such a great idea Nikki. I will use that one for sure.
My all time favorite:
Oatmeal Supreme:
1/3 cup dry oatmeal mixed with 1 cup water and microwaved 2 minutes
Then add in 1/3 cup frozen strawberries, 1/3 cup frozen blueberries, 1 tbsp peanut butter, 1 tbsp chia seeds
10gP/14gF/40gC
Awesome to pair with some high protein breakfast (eggs and turkey sausage ususally for me).
Snack: Siggi’s 4% Icelandic Skyr either strawberry rhubarb or mixed berry flavor, Skyr is like yogurt but God so much better 4.5g F/11g C/ 12g P…. 0% fat is good too and have 15g protein.
Meal: super basic fish taco bowl.. 9.5oz mahi mahi (well seasoned), 0.5 cups low sodium black beans drained, half an avocado, and 2-3 tbsp of Mrs. Renfro’s jalapeño salsa (dear God that salsa is so good) 17.6g F/33.6g C/58.9g protein.. Portions may vary depending on what my macro distribution is
Getting back on a morning schedule.
Row instead of run – 500m/rd

Going to be a long day so did this early.

50 Box jumps to front step and 40 elevated pushups.
Kehl…you look like Dave “El Presidente” Portnoy from Barstool Sports. I think you need to do a pizza review.
Good call! I agree and would love to see a pizza review by coach Kehl!
My favorite go to afternoon snack is homemade trail mix. 1 part mixed nuts, 1.5 part mixed dried fruit, 1/8 part chocolate. E.g. 1 cup nuts, 1 1/2 cup dried fruit, 1/8 cup chocolate.
Ther Longest Mile!! 15:37. Switched up the 400 m route and found out it had more hills than the other one…
Oh, 15 strict pull ups.
And 24 inch makeshift pallet sculpture jumps! Constructed in a workman like fashion… completely safe.
I’ve been prepping a morning yogurt a few days ahead. I add frozen cauliflower rice, frozen strawberries and blueberries to the yogurt. It’s defrosts overnight and mixes together well in the morning and is so good. You can’t taste the cauliflower and bulks it up. Sometimes i add in some almond butter if i need some extra fat for the day.
I love the cauliflower rice trick!! I do that with lots of other foods but never thought of adding it to yogurt. Awesome!

Haha, Sean, my brother in law tells me that too.
My pizza review, Aldi take and bake. $5.99. The key is to put it on a flat top cooktop (pan or skillet) AFTER it comes out of the oven to crisp up the crust. This of course works for all pizza. We are having this for dinner tonight…I mean, we are having venison and kale with 4 macros of grass fed grass.
John 16:22 Rx+ (32″ jumps onto truck tailgate)
Nik 17:40 Rx+ (32″ jumps onto truck tailgate).
We both jumped into the noon at last minute and I’m so glad I did! Thanks for the push Nicole and Alex!

It was starting to rain when I was about to work out and I just couldn’t deal today. So I subbed a 3min row for the runs. And added 8lb KB to the step ups.
I’m super sore today!!!
27:13, 16″ box step ups. Did the situps in the rain.
I just can’t run with the pace I could when I was a young man. It was slow, but it was steady.

I did 50 minutes of cardio on my elliptical with the resistance cranked up so I wasn’t going to do the WOD. But, then when I looked at it I couldn’t resist it sounded so fun. Total time was 24:15. During the warm up I was able to do 1 full push up for the first time ever. The others were modified. For the WOD I did 80 step up on a kid’s step stool and the 40 push ups on the deep freezer. I did the 400m on the elliptical since I had to be inside with the kids.
Ran 5.5 miles @7:32 mile pace — (Schuylkill trail for 3 of the miles) — did pushups and jumped on stuff periodically. 👍🏼
Not a snack but general wellness drink

Feeling very sluggish today. Couldn’t get myself together to do the 12 zoom!😆
It started raining so I tweaked the workout a bit. I did all the step ups, squats, pushups, and situps in one shot. Then did all of the running in another shot. And I did step ups but did 100 of them very fast.

I’m a big beverage person, I always have something to drink so my go to snack is a protein shake with a banana and strawberries. It makes a lot if you add ice so great for sipping/snacking throughout the day 😊
– two scoops chocolate protein powder
– one banana
– 1/2 cup strawberries
– water and ice (I have no idea how much)
Macros vary a bit based on the size of the fruit and your protein powder but it approximately
Calories: 307
Carbs: 42
Protein: 32
Fat: 3

Savory Breakfast Oatmeal:
Ok, so I’ve already gotten feedback on this “recipe” and most say it sounds gross, but I PROMISE it is actually tasty and satisfying! Basically, 1/2 cup oatmeal, egg whites (16tbsp), and 2 c arugula. If you have the extra calories, add a regular egg in there and maybe bacon. The game changer here is 1) hot sauce of choice, 2) smoked paprika, 3) turmeric (especially if you are only doing egg whites, I swear it tricks you into thinking you’re eating egg yolks) 4) couple dabs of sesame oil 5) any other creative spices you feel like trying–otherwise, just salt and pepper. Macros (if you don’t do the regular egg and bacon) are 31 Carb, 3 Fat, 27 Protein
