Whey protein is highly hygroscopic — meaning it attracts and binds to water molecules.

During the baking process, the proteins tighten and squeeze out moisture.

The more whey you add, the more water it pulls away from the starches and fats in your batter, which leaves your baked goods dense, rubbery, and dry.

I feel like we’ve all been there 😅

By combining these moisture retaining ingredients, the batter counteracts whey’s drying effect.

The result? A protein packed baked goods that’s soft, moist, and actually enjoyable to eat.

Be careful of recipes that seem too good to be true, they might just be AI Slop.

Sleep is the foundation for everything— more energy, focus, more patience, higher testosterone, better food choices.

Unfortunately, we’re hardwired to get one more quick hit of dopamine before getting some shut eye.

A 2009 study by Dr. David Lewis at the University of Sussex showed that just 6 minutes of reading reduced stress by 68%.

A good day starts with a good nightly routine. Make reading a part of yours.

Pumpkin spice Barebell review! I'm a huge fan of Barebells, I think the exterior texture is great, and the interior isn't too chewy, dry or chalky. Often times with pumpkin spice flavored things, it can taste too artificial, too pumpkin-y, or over spiced. Barebells USA absolutely knocks this one out of the park. Run to TJs/your local bodega to grab a whole pack of these, they're that good.

A successful week!

I went back to VA & my childhood home for the first time since we moved to NYC, celebrated an amazing couple (congrats Luke & Sarah!) (swipe for scenes), and made some delicious food.

The pumpkin loaf recipe will be up this week— it’s phenomenal.

And don’t worry, Conehead Sunny is getting her cast off later today.

Increasing your fiber intake is easy when you’ve got a tasty little treat waiting for you in the fridge. Trust me… let’s just say I’m feeling a lot lighter these days 😅••••••••••••••

Fantastic food all around. Some loaves of high protein zucchini and pumpkin bread, lots of protein & a delicious (not so healthy) crispy chicken cutlet and Caesar salad for dinner. Atrocious game though.
