Can I bulk while lowering glucose (A1c)?
As title suggests, I started trying a bulk diet (+200 cal) with ≈45-60min of pretty strenuous weightlifting 6 days a week. I currently have a BMI of 23 and to note, have LADA.

Here to build knowledge of nutrients and muscle
Hi everyone, after being on noom for over a year and losing most of the weight I was aiming to, I am starting here so that I can better track my macros and gain muscle.

What and when to eat?
I’m a chef and I work all day so by the time I’m off I’m hungry because being around food all day typically makes me not want to eat, idk if that makes sense or not but it’s true. My issue is when I get off late at night and I be hungry but I feel that I shouldn’t eat because it’s so late. I was told that I don’t have my…
