This probably belongs in the food thread but can also help here.
Made my own "energy" bar this morning. So easy and you know exactly what you're eating1 cup quick cooking oats
1/2 cup Peanut Butter- preferably natural with no added sugar- I like mine crunchy
3 tbsp honey
1 tsp vanilla extract- optional as you can't really taste itSpread out evenly into a container and refrigerate for 2 hours. Cut into whatever size bars you like and eat
Total recipe with my ingredients is 1212 calores and 44 grams of protein
I cut mine into 4 bars so about 300 calories per bar and 11 grams of protein and you know EXACTLY what you are eating.
If you give it a shot, let me know what you think

Good contribution!

We're not allowed peanuts Brooks, but I'll certainly give it a shot when I'm finished with the Whole 30. I intend to stick to healthy eating habits, but I could not live my life of the Whole diet (no booze, no sugar makes Gav a cranky boy).

Did not know that. But if you're interested, the peanut butter I use called Crazy Richard's has one ingredient, peanuts haha
Here you go Rafa
Total recipe:
Calories- 1212
Fat- 64.3 - keep in mind 95% of this is from the peanuts but it's an all natural type of fat, so good fat
Carbs- 133.2
Protein- 43.9
Sugar- 60 - totally from the honey which acts as a binder. I was thinking about trying it without but don't think it will bind without
Fiber- 19.3Per bar if cut into 4's
Calories- 303
Fat- 16.075

Bags I can't eat it peanuts and oats are no no's on the Paleo diet. But sounds really good

Been losing a bunch of weight over the last few months due to stress. The last week and a half, been downing a pint of whole milk and two tablespoons of regular peanut butter everytime I feel "not full". I've put on nearly twelve pounds. Pretty happy with that. Hoping to hit my ideal weight of 180 again soon
Mind you, I've also been working out like a fiend too, so I'm not putting on fat, but rather muscle
-
Thanks for the plan, Doug.
As far as eating - if I even look at whole milk I can put on 5lbs.

I tried a couple times to have a total body workout with barbells, but I would have to be in the gym for a long time and towards the end, I was more fatigued from being in the gym for that long than from actually lifting.
Skogg explains why kettlebells is a different workout than traditional barbells like this: when you use a barbell, you tax a single muscle group 100% (ideally). With kettlebells, you tax ALL your muscles at 30%.
This works out for me. I used to have one day a week when I would work out biceps and triceps. One week, one day, 100%. I now do kettlebells 4-5 times a week. That's 120-150% per week. Even if it's not cumulative in a linear fashion, I'm at least doing as much as I was before, but not feeling like death the day after
NB: this might or might not be true, but my bullshit sounds very convincing to me and I'm happy
