Now the the Real Food Challenge is over, we wanted to provide a forum for our members to discuss nutrition and share their ideas, recipes and logs.  We’ll try to set up a separate food blog but for now we have a couple of options.  First, you can post on the workout of the day blog, where we occasionally post nutritional info, just not as regularly as we did during the real food challenge.  Second, you can use our Facebook page.   I’ve set up a discussion forum and set up permissions so that all the page fans can participate in discussions, post photos and share links.  We already have a thread started called Real Food but you can start your own thread to use for your food log or discussions.
