Haha! Yes it happens. Ppl like to call it "bro farts". It'll clear a room

Haha... Sorry, got it. Simple one track minded here. The individual should consider whatever makes them happy in life. Go with what you like and factor in the health. Take everything into account.

Good rule of thumb to use in everything purchased. Great post!

Eating a "ton of protein" to gain weight doesn't make sense. Too much protein can have negative effects. All you need is 1g of protein per lb of body weight depending on your body fat %. You don't gain weight by eating more protein. You gain weight by eating more calories than your body needs daily. Eating "too much fat"…

If you're monitoring your calories and care about having balance in your meal plan then YES you could consider paying attention to your macros. Otherwise how would you know what you're eating? But, if you're just worried about staying within a calorie range then it doesn't really matter. I make sure I have the proper…

Man, all these recipes sound good!

^^^ what they said...

Overly processed proteins carbs and fats and fillers. You can get all your macros and a good amount of fiber and potassium and sodium balance with *kitten* u have in your fridge if u take the time to prep it. You're spending more money for them to process it where there is better quality in whole foods that cost less and…

Yep. They're always having deals. Before u buy let me know and I'll give u a code for a discount

Make sure you're daily caloric intake is pretty spot on. 1-1.5g of protein per lb of body weight, .5-.8g fat per lb of body weight, fill the rest with carbs. Eat in a surplus of 250-500 cal on training days, eat at maintenance on off days. Lift like an animal and eat well. I tend to keep the protein a little higher and the…

I understand your point. Forgive my vagueness. I didn't mean that we only have one type of muscle fiber gene. But our bodies, depending on our genetics respond better to certain weight training types depending on fast/slow fibers. Point being you'll destroy more muscle fibers in the high rep rang low rest period type…

? I always consider my macros. Lol

I make my own peanut butter. It's easy and delicious.

If building muscle mass is what your trying to achieve then you need to be doing 2 things. Eating in a surplus which is what your doing, and focusing on high volume. 5x5 is not considered high volume. 4 sets 12-15 reps of moderate weight 3 exercises per muscle group to get u started. U notice lagging muscles a few months…

Dairy, low fat cottage cheese, protein powders, low fat cheese, nuts

It depends if you're in a calorie surplus or a deficit. If you're in a surplus then u eat more. Deficit either let the cal burned equal your deficit and eat at maintenance or for accelerated loss use the cal burned as an addition to your deficit As said above its difficult to know exactly that's when your monitoring comes…

MYPROTEIN 100 cal 1.5g fat 0 carb 20g protein per 25g scoop. 5 lbs $60 shipped

Awesome glad to help. Let me know what u think

$ per lb vs chicken? My guess it's way more expensive...

Worst thing u can do is get depressed bc that will result in low self esteem and more binging. What was the cause of your bing? My guess it's because u have been cutting out certain foods that you once enjoyed and now u have such a craving that it's uncontrollable. Share your story The thing abt having a controlled and…

Depending on the ingredients u use. The proats I make are around 550-600 cal around 12g fat, 75g carb, 50g protein

U can also blend the steel cut oats up and make oat flour just to get rid of them then go buy old fashioned oats. I use oat flour instead of all purpose flour.

Why eat steel cut oats? They all have the same macros. They're all complex carbs. They're all processed. My opinion they're too much of a pain to cook. I eat oats every morning and have been for 2 yrs. I take a cup of old fashioned rolled oats. 1 cup of milk or substitute cook in microwave for 2:00. Put 1 scoop (30g) of…

My suggestion to u is simple. 20+ bf % is on the high side but not obese by any means. I too was on the very high side of bf% and I did a "cut" of abt 35 lbs. Once I did the cut I found I had no muscle mass to compensate for the body mass I lost. So I looked sickly. My suggestion is to do weight training and eat 250-500…

Yes!!! Best source of protein for sure.

I haven't had any issues but that's not to say u won't. Everyone's body is different as u know. I say give it a shot. Not sure where u live but in the US it's less than $60 shipped. us.myprotein.com

Totally doable. Like said before slow and steady. You don't want to add too much weight too fast. Why gain 50 lbs when you'll have to lose 20 of it bc u gained a lot of fat? Focus on lean bulking and don't put a time line on yourself. You'll get there but do it in a controlled manner. Once you create a fat cell it NEVER…

I posted in another board on this same topic but I'll post here too. I used to make a healthy weight gainer shake that was 1200+ calories. It consisted of oats, protein powder, cocoa powder, my homemade peanut butter, coconut oil, eggs, and whole milk. Don't buy the commercial weight gainer it has so much crap in it that…

I used to make a healthy weight gainer shake that was 1200+ calories. Magic ingredient was coconut oil. The shake consisted of oats, protein powder, cocoa powder, my homemade peanut butter, whole milk, coconut oil, whole eggs, and a banana
