I work out pretty late (9-10pm), and always take a protein shake afterwards before bed. Should I just leave for the next morning if Im looking to lose weight? (Im already taking flavourless protein to minimize carbs and calories)

Switch to casein and do it consistently

I always dismissed casein, but will look into given my current schedule

Make sure you consume something after your workout because your body will need some fuel to recover. If you are trying to lose weight, working out and then starving is not how to do that. It doesn’t have to be a protein shake.

Should be fine since it’s protein and needed for muscle recovery

Don't skip the protein then. If you don't want the shake every time, or need some variety, have some turkey slices, has protein and tryptophan which could help with sleep.

I have been approached by 3 separate HR people at a startup company to interview for a position. I already have a fulltime job that pays well and I only started 6 months ago too.

At the last interview, at the end I was told the job was for management but I prepared for a different kind of interview. I am waiting for an offer or rejection letter. I feel peeved that they wasted my time. Red flags?

I started working out and cleaned up my diet with the main goal being weight loss, but I'm really frustrated.

It's been a month, I feel like the effort I put in is huge and exhausting, but I haven't lost a pound, although I can see there's been a bit of muscle gain and I lost half an inch from my waist.

How do I find the motivation to keep going when I feel like the progress is so minimal?
