This is very long and may take you some time to read. However, it is extremely informative and covers many topics such as clean eating vs. IIFYM, Post-workout protein window, low intensity cardio vs. intervals (although the topic was mainly directed to bodybuilders during contest prep), Is over consuming protein "bad"?, Is eating late at night "bad"?, etc.

These are debated all the time here. While I don't think this post will stop the debating, the industry professionals that were interviewed are very credible.

    The one about protein was an interesting read. I never thought of it that way, when you spend your time reading bodybuilding websites and what not; they will talk about only muscle use and not the fact that the protein can be used by the body in other places as well.

    My favorite part,
    Of course, getting adequate protein is important for body composition change. Veggies are important for nutrients. And healthy fats are critical. But fearing carbs is basically locking yourself in a dietary prison of deprivation for no good reason.

    Thank you for the link.

    Love this quote from Eric Helms:
    Once our nutrient needs are met, we don’t get extra credit for eating more nutritious food!
