That "works" in the sense that you're meeting daily caloric target, but it's not wise from a nutritional standpoint.

Quinoa has more protein than rice, but as pointed out above, it's still majority carb. One of the main benefits of quinoa is that it's a complete protein - it contains a full spectrum of amino acids. My experience has been is that it's not great as a standalone food, but good when mixed in with beans, meat, vegetables,…

Is butter a carb?

Pros - You get to eat more food during the times you're not fasting. Cons - You're hungry during the times you are fasting.

Ashley Judd works out at the same gym as me (at least she used to). She has an emotional support dog named Shug. I've done spin class with Ashley and Shug. I've seen them on the wellness floor together.

"Best" is a very subjective term. What's most important to you? Taste? Percent protein? Price? For me, the best combination of taste, quality and value is Myprotein Impact Whey, and it's not even close.

Macro goals are targets, but that doesn't mean you stop eating once you've reached your goal. It may influence subsequent food choices. For example, if you've hit for carb goal for the day, you may opt for a piece of cheese or almonds over a piece of fruit.

Just enter "1 Troll (large)". Make sure you use the verified entry.

Fair enough, but regardless of which training protocol she chooses, hypertrophy is the goal.

By definition, a recomp is simultaneously losing fat while gaining muscle, no? Isn't that hypertrophy?

You're right, there is no difference between the two. I don't know what I was thinking.

Do you lift weights? I've noticed that when I train legs twice a week, I have trouble on long runs (> 8 miles)/

I'd have to eat a ton of Halo Top to go through all of that trouble.

The class I go to is more about cardio/intensity than martial arts. We do some bag work, but don't really spend much time on form. If you come from a martial arts background, it might be a little frustrating.

It varies by age/sex/weight, but I guarantee if you do 100 burpees, you're going to burn a heckuva lot more than 100 calories.

Adequate free weights so that I don't have to wait during non-peak periods: rack, bench, dumbbells, etc. Hammer strength machines Early hours - at least 5 AM

Go watch the Seinfeld episode on frozen yogurt.

I didn't think this is true so I Googled it. Turns out, you are correct > https://www.fda.gov/Food/IngredientsPackagingLabeling/LabelingNutrition/ucm248732.htm All chains had to be in compliance by the past December.

I hate to be "that guy," but I did the math and it came to 898 calories.

At most, you really only need 100-130 grams of protein a day. If you're having trouble hitting that goal while staying within your daily calorie target, then protein powder may be a good option. Otherwise, there's no additional benefit to powder over other sources of protein.

I get that, but your split is 40% protein and 30% carb, yet in almost every example the carbs exceed the protein. This is more like a 35c/35p/30f split (which there's nothing wrong with).

I'm confused. The meal plans you posted don't match the macro split in the title at all.

No matter who hard I worked on my form, I couldn't stop from getting debilitating lower back injuries (as in can't walk for up to a week) at least once a year from doing deadlifts. Eventually I said it's just not worth it and haven't sweated it since. You can still kick *kitten* in the gym without doing deads.

33% lean meat 33% protein powder 33% other (greek yogurt, eggs/whites, bars, etc.)

I buy ingredients in bulk and make my own: creatine, beta alanine, citrulline malate, taurine and mix it with caffeinated drink mix. Why? Because it includes well-researched supplements at effective doses.

I like to wear training shoes for activities that require more lateral movement, jumping, etc. Zumba may fit into this category. Shoes tend to last longer if you rotate them instead of wearing the same pair every day. Once you find some models/styles you like, you can find deeply discounted shoes on the interwebs and…

Listen to your body - if you're having trouble making it through your workouts, up your calories. A word of caution about exercise calories - in my experience, the exercise calorie calculators tend to significantly overestimate burn rates.

You should never be embarrassed to ask for a spot. Here are a couple of items to keep in mind: - Be sure to tell your spotter whether you need help getting the weight off the rack and into position. - Tell them whether you want your last set to be a "forced rep" (the spotter helps just enough so that the bar keeps moving…

I think you've overestimated by about 400 calories.

Every time I go to grab a Lenny and Larry's, I look at the calories and macros and put it back down.
