First, try to correct your diet look and look whole food sources. 100 grams of protein, give or take, isn't too difficult to hit on a regular basis with whole foods. If you still want a protein powder for convenience purposes, check out the following companies and pick a flavor that interests you: PES Select Giant Sports…

Meat.

I wouldn't be worried about going over 20% fat, which is probably too low for you. That said, don't go by percentages, but rather the actual grams that MFP is suggesting with those percentages. As an example, let's say a person is 170 pounds with a TDEE of 1900 calories per day to maintain their current weight. To lose…

Best as far as what? Be more specific or else you'll just get a lot of opinions based on 1 or 2 protein powders that person has tried in their lifetime.

Check out SAN raw fusion if you are going the Vegan route. It's raved about by the Vegan crowd on bodybuilding.com

Another solution would be to increase your activity level and plan/cook your meals in advance. Boosting appetite could actually be a helpful thing for someone who is Bulking. Have you ever tried to eat two or three as many calories as your TDEE? It's tough!

People can drink, smoke, and enjoy weed without having mental issues or mental pains.

Bamm!! I love your word choices; so accurate and so true!! OP, use the search bar and you'll see a couple hundred queries on Quest bars. This topic is beaten to death. If eating processed convenience foods truly make you curious (as opposed to eating whole foods) then you should learn how to make your own protein/fiber…

Go to SeriousEats.com and type "potatoes" in the search bar.

Make the shift toward eating a rich variety of nutritious whole foods instead of resorting to processed TV dinners. It's important to note that one thing about sodium is that it is not as evil as people claim... unless you are sedentary and your daily intake is also very low in potassium and water.

Spot check the information on the Subway website with the entries in MFP to see if they are accurate. There is no easy way to do this since you can customize a sub a hundred different ways. You can enter a basic sub (e.g. turkey, swiss, lettuce, and tomato on 9-grain bread) and then add any condiments and additional…

Visit their website: http://www.subway.com/nutrition/nutritionlist.aspx The footnote says: Sandwich nutrition values include 9-Grain Wheat bread, lettuce, tomatoes, onions, green peppers and cucumbers. So it does not include mayo, mustard, or any additional condiments and toppings. When I used to go there, I noticed that a…

Which is fine if you're cutting the pie into 6-8 servings. I've never tried something like this, but for the sake of flavor and authenticity, I would even go far as to incorporate flour, salt, sugar, and yeast into the vegetable base. No cheese in the crust, just on the surface with the sauce.

My suggestion would be to check your daily dietary fat macro and see if you even come close to it. Chances are you do not, if you are eating healthy (whole foods vs. processed) and yet still scared of exceeding dietary fat. 0.40 to 0.45 grams dietary fat Per 1 lb. bodyweight is about the minimum of what you should be…

I prefer them made with simply oil/butter, salt, and maybe some pepper. Great caramelized onions are really more about being patient and cooking them low and slow without browning them. Should not take 6-8 hours in a regular pan... More like 30-50 minutes, but you have to babysit the pan. The sweetness of the onion is the…

You'll have to experiment with the flavor and texture for your palate, but per bar... -35-55 grams Fiber syrup -3/4 to 1 scoop of any cheap vanilla whey blend -1-2 Oreo cookies

40-50% of your calories from protein is insanely high. Are you part T-Rex? And yes, the listings on here are accurate if you use the barcode scanner, weigh your foods, cross reference the entries, and use common sense.

^ All of this is rubbish. Here are the facts: Creatine is a system saturater, which means that it needs to build up in your system over time to notice the benefits. Even so, some people are not responders. If you are a responder, then taking creatine pre-workout, post-workout, or any other special time is inconsequential.…

You could also use a reduced fat cheese. https://www.sargento.com/our-cheese/shredded-cheese/reduced-fat/sargento-shredded-reduced-fat-colby-jack-cheese * 90 calories per 28 grams * 7 g protein * 5 g fat * 2 g carbs The minimum recommendation for dietary fat intake is approx. 0.40-0.45 grams per day. For a 160 lb. person,…

Lol, there's no need to be so defensive. Take care.

Just to be clear, most crockpot recipes will advocate extended, 6-8 hour cooking times, regardless if that timing is actually necessary. Reason being, crockpot cooking recipes are typically designed for the 9-5 worker who want dinner ready when they come home. That does not however mean that you actually need to cook…

If you are an active person then just be concerned with hitting the Minimums... -- 0.60 g protein per 1 lb Bodyweight. -- 0.40 g dietary fat per 1 lb. Bodyweight. -- Fill in the rest of your calories with a mix of nutritious whole foods that you enjoy.

Alternately, you can heavily season bone in, skin on chicken with a variety of spices, kosher salt, black pepper, fresh or dry herbs, fresh garlic, scallions etc. and add olive oil to marinate for a day. Afterward, get a Dutch oven very hot and add some oil or bacon fat. When the oil is hot, sear the chicken skin side…

^ Correction Animal based protein powders can be sugar free and devoid of fillers, too.

I can tell you right now that you don't need 200 grams of protein. I don't care if you're a bodybuilder. Depending on your stats, 90 grams is probably still within range at the low end.

Try to get all your protein from whole foods first. It isn't that difficult. For convenience, you can look into a quality protein blend (whey & casein). Isolates are really only for people that are lactose intolerant. That's really all you need to know.

Never said any of that... You did.

The ironic thing is the amount of people here (like you) who get offended by something someone says and comments in reply to that comment instead of helping others. Maybe you have no clue how to help the person in need of help. And that is fine. But why comment at all if you have nothing constructive to say?

Hmmm... Does being not obese make me more of authority on nutrition and fitness than obese people with no culinary background?

Preference is a present term. It can be altered. You can prefer something now and hate it in the future. Just as you can dislike something now and prefer it in the future. What is so difficult to understand about that? ...Unless perhaps you are comfortable being a closed minded person with and extreme unwillingness to…
