This can be regulated by eating a strict surplus of only 10%+ TDEE. Enough to promote growth, but not so much where you noticeably get fat. Once you start eating 20% or more than TDEE, the added extra fat becomes apparent.

WHOLE WHEAT PUMPKIN OATMEAL MUFFINS Makes 8 jumbo muffins • 1 cup reduced fat buttermilk • 1/2 heaping cup soaked rolled oats (not quick oats) • 1 large egg, at room temperature • 3/4 level cup dark brown sugar • 1/2 cup unsalted butter or coconut oil, melted and cooled slightly • 15 oz. can pumpkin puree • 1-1/4 cup whole…

http://www.bodybuilding.com/store/opt/whey.html It seems that most of the flavors get roughly the same taste rating, with Extreme Milk Chocolate and Mocha Cappuccino being the best of the bunch. Even so, I never thought ON was a good tasting protein. There are other brands that taste way better.

@williamwj2014 I was talking strictly about the best taste, "big man". In that regard, protein is not protein... Never said anything about the brands sucking or spiking the protein powders with fillers. But if you want to drink something that tastes like chalk, then be my guest.

^ Great advice right there.

1200 calories a day for a 175 lb. person is likely far too low. 1500 cals/day I could understand in select cases.

There are tons of people that stay on the elliptical for 1-2 hours non-stop...burning upwards of 500-1000 calories at a time. That's legit all they do when it comes to exercise. I see it a lot in the gym. If they are not taking in enough calories, that would put them in a caloric deficit. And if you're in a caloric deficit…

This guy has posted like 17 threads about under/over eating in the past week. Time to give it a break and see a professional if you really want help, or some need to justify how you're eating.

Cycling (what it should be called) is great for heart health, but be cautious about how long and often you are doing it and how many calories you are consuming (notably protein) vs. how many calories you are burning via spin class. Burn too much, and you lose muscle as well as fat... It can be counterproductive in that…

Doesn't matter from a weight loss perspective. What matters is total caloric intake. However, if you're consuming 1300 calories from carbs and 200 calories from protein, then there is an issue. Protein and carbs carry the same caloric load at 4 calories per gram. The difference is that there is a minimum requirement for…

If you did, then you would have no problem taking in what you need, protein-wise, from whole foods. And you also wouldn't fear carbs...

Super lean protein is not as satiating for me as something like a fatty ribeye steak. I could eat a pound of sashimi and be hungry again in 2 hours time.

You just need more knowledge and experience about protein rich foods. Use this forum to research protein rich food choices. It isn't that difficult to hit 100-130 grams of protein from whole food sources.

Rest days are really only when you feel so sore that you can't imagine going to the gym. Otherwise, stop making excuses. It's really that simple.

It's not a competition. This line-up should work for most people unless they are at the extreme end of the spectrum: Protein: 100-150 g/day Fat: 60-110 g/day Carbs: 160-280g/day

Protein: 0.60-0.80 grams per pound of bodyweight (or target/ideal weight in the obese) -- the highest amount justified by research. If your sedentary or have a very low activity day-to-day, the range isn't this high, but it won't hurt to get at least 0.60 g/lb. either way. Fat: 0.40-0.45 grams per pound of bodyweight (or…

Chances are you don't need 40% protein. Approx. 25% is fine for most people, but it really depends on how many grams are offered relative to your stats and your lifestyle. Range of 0.60-0.80 grams per 1 lb. bodyweight.

Green lentils with veg stock, veggies, ham and/or bacon and fresh parsley. Black bean and cheese quesadillas with guacamole. Cold chickpea salad with veggies, citrus, herbs and spices. Proats (protein powder + rolled oats) and a dash of coconut oil. Potatoes (twice-baked ~ or diced, roasted and tossed with cheddar,…

It's okay. I've had better. Middle of the road protein powder.

He is also an extreme case, probably consuming upwards of 8-10k calories per day, and other "hush-hush" factors are involved there. Not the example you want to use to compare to the average person.

You can cut out everything that is not bolded and be richer and just as healthy.

I can't speak on the damaging, long-term effects on your organs, because I am not a Doctor or certified professional. However, on the topic of new muscle synthesis, 0.82 grams protein per 1 lb. bodyweight is the upper end of what human muscles can actually utilize per day. This fact has been studied for over three decades,…
