Cadbury Crème Eggs are as synonymous with Easter as the bunny rabbit itself. Cracking through the chocolate shell into the sweet fondant center is the kind of moment kids can’t wait for, but as adults, they’re a lot sweeter than we remember. Our homemade version tames the sugar count by substituting dark chocolate for milk chocolate and nixing the corn syrup. The children will love to help make them, and perhaps it’ll start a new Easter tradition.Homemade Chocolate Creme Eggs RecipeYields 24Active time: 1 hour, 30 minutesThe SkinnyPer egg:200 cal7.5 g fat (5 g sat)33 g carbs107 mg sodium0.6 g…
Florida’s Parker Valby suffered an injury just before the indoor track season and had to sit it out, so going into the SEC Outdoor Track and Field Championships on Saturday, she only had one other opportunity to race and test her fitness. Her coach says her recovery is ahead of schedule, and based on the intensity and effort of the race she won a week ago—a 15:32 solo effort—they knew she could still contend for the title in the 5,000 meters at SECs. Valby came away with the victory, holding off Mercy Chelangat, a two-time NCAA champion from Alabama, in…
“Superfood” is a term assigned to foods that possess exceptional health properties. While there is no formal definition for the nutrients a food must contain to be considered a superfood, there are generally accepted ideas of what constitutes a superfood.

Share on facebook Share on twitter Share on pinterest Share on email Not so long ago, if you wanted to change your appearance without undergoing plastic surgery, you were limited by a relatively narrow scope of possibility. You could use makeup to cover your blemishes, diet and exercise to change your figure, or dye your hair to any shade of the rainbow. But you could only stray so far from how you naturally look.

Women naturally hold more fat mass than men, so they rely more on these fats (lipids) for energy. It makes sense for women to eat more fats to support their energy levels. Healthy fats play a pivotal role in women by regulating hormones and exercise endurance. Lipids & Hormones It’s important to consider the menstrual cycle in women’s nutrition. The menstrual cycle involves peaks and dips of hormones between a 21-35 day period. This cycle can also cause…
The barbell bench and overhead press are the gold standards for pressing strength and adding size, but when it comes to unilateral training, a necessary but sometimes undertilized training method, the barbell may not be the most ideal option and that’s where the unilateral dumbbell floor press comes into play. Lifting with two hands allows you to lift more weight for juicy gains, but performing bilateral lifts—lifting both sides simultaneously—all the time leads to strength imbalances between sides. These strength imbalances, although not always a huge deal, can alter the technique, can lead to injury niggles, and leave gains on…
