What (or who) are you absolutely in love with right now?

[7Phoenix7]

🍲🥘🤤

Right now I'm in love with the Korean BBQ I just ate. It seduced my taste buds and filled me up nice 😏.

I think I'm slightly emotionally attached lol.

😍

[wynning]

The computer in my fridge. It's just so cool. I'd tear it apart if I had an icebox lmaooo. Kinda weird obsession!
Also KBBQ is amazing. I used to only taste the chilli and was like "BRO this has no taste" but then I realized I just signed my taste buds so now I actually appreciate the flavours.

[7Phoenix7]

Lolll

[IslaTheWitch]

my huge best friend is visiting me these days and he cooked the best spaghetti bolognese I have ever eaten 😋

Im definitely in love with his cooking skills :D

[7Phoenix7]

I've been spending more time with my friend as well. He took me to eat some real Korean bbq haha.

Glad you have been doing well

[IslaTheWitch]

korean bbq is the best :D

enjoy your time

[TheSmellOfVictoria]

I'm absolutely in love with my oldest daughter. I travel a lot and before I left for the airport today, she made me a little "care package". After six years, I think she's finally starting to like me!

[7Phoenix7]

How old is she? Why wouldn't she like you?

[TheSmellOfVictoria]

She just turned 6. She's more of a Mommy's girl, wants to be just like her mom but I noticed the last few months, she's starting to wanna be around me more, so I think her and mom might be going through growing pains the older she's getting. I don't know, I'm just winging this raising daughter's thing. I have three of them!

[7Phoenix7]

Aww, cute!

[slatyb]

A much younger woman in Europe that I contacted online and it led to a long and ongoing correspondence. We will likely never meet for multiple reasons but I'm quite in love with her.

[7Phoenix7]

Aww, well that's sad...

[slatyb]

That's life. "I still believe that she was my twin, but I was born in Spring, and she was born too late... Blame it all on as simple twist of fate."

I'm glad I got to chat with her. I hope she finds someone compatible.

[EzraIsShy76028]

Food... a lot of foods really, but pizza, burgers, lasagna, chocolate, cake, ice cream, some Brazilian foods that no one knows the names of except for other Brazilians, etc...

[7Phoenix7]

Hmmm Brazilian food sounds really interesting 🤔

[EzraIsShy76028]

Haha yeah. I think all cultures have interesting food. I myself am kind of Brazilian and kind of not at the same time; because while my parents are 100% Brazilians born and raised, I was born in Brazil but moved to America when I was 5 and a half and have been here ever since, never been to Brazil again. I do know some Portuguese my parents taught me, but it's much more limited compared to my English. A lot of people think I'm lying when I tell them I am affiliated with Brazil in any way.

Anyway, for a few Brazilian food examples, first there's pastels. Basically a deep fried dough, usually rectangle or half moon shaped, and can be filled with almost anything you want, including cheese, literally any kind of meat, heart of palm, etc. Then there's coxinhas, similar concept but tear drop shaped, and usually only chicken. That's 2 salty foods, but for desserts. There's brigadeiros. Basically just chocolate, similar to truffles, has condensed milk in it, is sphere shaped, has chocolate sprinkles, etc. Then there's pao de mel, kind of harder to describe the flavor, but a type of cake, has spices in it so somewhat like gingerbread, covered all around in chocolate, has a dulce de leche (basically caramel) filling, etc.

And that's 4 examples total, but that's good enough, especially since I like to give details, lol.

[Simslover92]

My bestie. If she was a dude or vice versa we'd probably had married each other by now lol. That's my soulmate tbh. We think so much alike we could have been twins.

[7Phoenix7]

I can relate to that. But he's a guy lol

[Simslover92]

Oh lol

[7Phoenix7]

Should I date him? 😂

[Simslover92]

Lol 😂 I mean... you could but it might be a Joey/Rachel situation where you're better off just best friends

[7Phoenix7]

Lmao yeahhh I agree

[unknowngurll1212]

Right now? Honestly, I’m absolutely in love with peace of mind, purpose, and late-night deep talks that hit the soul 🤍...

[7Phoenix7]

Ugh... I totally relate 🩷

[Vevv123]

I see you love food. Me too. 😊 And I love Korean BBQ too, I just don't like the work you have to put in. 😩 I dread it.

[7Phoenix7]

I am definitely a foodie 😋

Listen... the work you put in is worth it lol haha

[Vevv123]

You're right, patience is key.😌

[7Phoenix7]

💯🙂 yea

[Nikki1989]

I love many people, but obviously, my husband, girlfriend, and music are at the top of my list.

[7Phoenix7]

Is your girlfriend also married?

[PBandJ_Nerd]

Currently an enchilada, literally right now.

[7Phoenix7]

Yummyyy

[PBandJ_Nerd]

Mexican cuisine is the best. 🌯

[7Phoenix7]

It is up high on my list of good food for sure 👌 It never gets old lol

[Spencer10]

This question! It reminded me how fantastic KBBQ is... I am hungry now.

[7Phoenix7]

Lol What did you end up eating?

[MikeTheBartender]

2026... I'm selling off some businesses and will retire then. I love you 2026!!!

[7Phoenix7]

Then I love it too lol

[Sonorous]

spreadsheet averages

[7Phoenix7]

Why?

[Sonorous]

They really do give insanely good insight into what the body prefers. It's how I've learned exact ranges like my averaged TDEE, average sets per month relative to a certain rate of glycogen replenishment, average grams of food eaten & subsequent total water intake averages, optimal sodium intake for reduced bloating, average calorie variability trends that show the most consistent average ranges that I ping pong inbetween. Data analysis is toi useful not to fall in love with

[wynning]

Legit. Data is beautiful!

[Sonorous]

Exactly & at this point I'm farr too obsessed to stop tracking everything. Too much to learn

[wynning]

You don't climb out of this rabbit hole!

[Sonorous]

Tbh I'm either dyin in the hole or digging down to the core & jumping in. I can't go back to my old ways

[7Phoenix7]

@Sonorous be my nutritionist lol

[Sonorous]

Tbh I'd hate that Job 🤣 But mainly because the social aspect. Nutritionists often have to help motivate people & I'd rather just focus on the scientific aspect of things

[7Phoenix7]

Just tell me what to eat ahahaha.

I get frustrated sometimes with trying to eat healthy because I feel like I don't know enough lol. Like portions of sugar, salt, carbs, protein

[Sonorous]

I mean I'm no professional but I do notice that the best approach is to basically eat for the energy & recovery we need while trying to consistently hit recommended micro-nutrient averages. No matter what I do, I try to make sure that the averages are in a good spot. Best if if they're consistently close in amount throughout all days of the week. But I notice that making sure that my 2-3day averages are in an ideal spot is best. It's not enough time for the body to become significantly deficient in something.

There is a more ideal amount of something for everyone, but it vary wildly based on preference, goals, lifestyle, genetic factors, etc. If I had to give recommendations to you though, they'd be:

• Keep added sugars under 25grams. Ideally you want them to be 0 unless you're a performance athlete & need them to perform at extremely high levels. Even still, they'd be physically healthier on average without them.
• Keep sodium under 2,300mg per day. Even less if you're not sweating a lot. 1500mg is the general recommendation. Ideally wanna stay above 300-800mg (to support normal bodily functions). I notice that above 1,000mg and below 1,300 is ideal for me specifically.
• Keep carbs as high as what feels the most comfortable. Your body will tell you if you're not eating enough of them or if you're eating too many of them. Your ideal intake (if you're not doing keto) will likely be higher than 50grams per day & lower than 1.5x bw unless you're extremely active & are constantly depleting glycogen reserves. I only eat 1.5x my body-weight per day because I'm constantly depleting my muscle glycogen stores with my workouts.
• Keep protein at least around.71-.82g per lb of bw if you're goal is to eat close to maintenance calories & either maintain or even grow muscle if there's enough stimulus. Eating in a deficit requires more protein to keep lean muscle tissue & eating in a surplus requires less, but not significantly less than.71-.81

[Sonorous]

And how you'd feel while eating all of this of course depends on what I mentioned above with the preferences, goals, lifestyle, genetic factors, etc. Depending on these things and more, you'll want to think about the sources & structure of it all. For instance, I eat the same things everyday but depending on my needs, I'll structure it wildly differently.

[7Phoenix7]

It took me this many days to read that @Sonorous. I finally finished 😂

[Sonorous]

That only took me like 5-10 minutes to write 🤣 how did it take you that long to read it?

[BruceWayne987]

I’m in love with your booty in those shorts you used to have as your profile picture but sadly I haven’t seen my love in SO long ☹️

[7Phoenix7]

Lmaoo hahaha 😆.

[BruceWayne987]

Hopefully that really made you laugh ha

[Xawyx-2]

Well, there is one very special girl... but I know I don't stand a chance :(

[7Phoenix7]

Why not

[Xawyx-2]

Because she's really too hot, and I'm not...

[7Phoenix7]

She might think you are attractive... you should be more confident

[Xawyx-2]

I know, but how, are there any pills for confidence?

[Kelly3_]

Not in love but heading that with a woman I’ve been going on dates with.

[7Phoenix7]

Aww cute

[Kelly3_]

Thanks.

Hot sauce

[7Phoenix7]

Whats your favorite

[Staximus]

I make my own, usually fire roasted habanero with onion, garlic, seasoned salt, and sometimes I put Cajun or Creole seasoning and celery in there. I have about 15 or 20 pounds of habanero peppers in my freezer right now

[7Phoenix7]

That sounds good!

[Staximus]

I learned to make salsa from a master salsa maker I used to work with in the kitchen at Claim Jumper, but my salsas never turned out as good as his. Now I just make hot sauce because it's much easier to get the ratios right so it tastes good. The peppers are the main ingredient, everything else is just like seasoning on the back end. I work at another restaurant as the maintenance guy and all the cooks are afraid of my habanero sauce. I heckle the shit out of them and say stuff like "man I thought you guys were real Mexicans" haha. I just bring it for me and the cleaning guys from Oaxaca

[Staximus]

Sometimes the kitchen manager asks me to make some hot sauce for his barbecues. He says there's always some tough guys that ask if he has any hotter salsa, so he brings that out so people can laugh at them

[7Phoenix7]

You should start selling it haha

[Staximus]

A few people already that want to buy it, I need to get a reliable source of peppers and build up my customer base. The guy that delivers produce to the restaurant I work at is not very reliable when it comes to getting me the peppers. My boss at my other job will let me use his business license to buy wholesale produce if I want but I'm going to have to drive up to LA and pick up the peppers at like two or three in the morning.

[7Phoenix7]

It's all up to you and how you write your story 😉 lol

[Staximus]

I was thinking about turning my whole backyard into a pepper patch but the dumb ass landlord contaminated the ground. I could build a raised bed but I don't really want to shovel 2 truckloads of dirt into a wheelbarrow and haul it into the backyard

[7Phoenix7]

Contaminated the ground with what? Pest control chemicals?

[Staximus]

Roundup. He sprayed half of the backyard with it before I moved in. Like a shitload of it to kill the grass

[7Phoenix7]

I see... I have a backyard. Want me to grow some peppers? Lol hehe
