Technically, it's a processed fast food. A person can opt to using protein powder to "supplement" their diet, usually for convenience, but whole foods should be the prime focus when it comes protein intake.

Now I am confused. http://www.1percentedge.com/ifcalc/ Use that link to plug in your numbers (page 2, basic info). Be sure to include bodyfat% and activity level. The TDEE it gives you is what you maintain at with exercise included. No need for guess work. Cut 10-20% off TDEE to safely lose weight without losing a bunch of…

It's not that difficult to understand, Petunia.

No... It's still not. You talked about macro minimums. Protein and dietary fat have minimums; carbs do not. Therefore, why are you including carbs in this mix? The truth still stands: Most active individuals will not exceed roughly 700-1200 calories after fulfilling their protein and fat minimums. That gives them a ton of…

nope

No, it's not. The average active person who hits their protein and dietary fat minimums will still have several hundred calories to consume before any concerns of overeating. Loose example: 80-130 grams protein = 320-520 calories 44-76 grams dietary fat = 396-684 calories Total calories just from hitting protein and…

Gimme gimme

In essence, HIIT is a resistance training idea in which low to moderate intensity intervals are alternated with high intensity intervals. You are getting the benefits of both endurance and strength conditioning with HIIT. I absolutely think that a proven HIIT routine with clear, measurable goals and progression is better…

Fantastic glutes

I'd eat the booty like groceries...

Mixability is not really an important factor. Most powders will clump up if you don't put the liquid in first. My suggestion would be to get a wide brimmed cup capable of fitting 20-28 oz. Those wire balls don't really help nor do the plastic grates. Just make sure the lid fits securely and doesn't leak.

For protein, that is why I gave a range. 0.80-0.82 g/lb. is the highest amount justified by research. I used a round figure. I doubt someone is going to lose muscle mass based on 3-4 grams of protein. A range of 0.60-0.80 g/lb. is sufficient. Hope you're ready... here are the studies:…

Well, hitting 100+ grams of protein is more important if you lift. A sedentary person does not need that much. However, the minimum for dietary fat still stands for most people (unless obese). Dietary fat is crucial for a variety of body functions, notably hormone and brain health.

Protein is the bricks. Carbs are the brick layers. Fat is the cement. Micronutrients (vitamins, minerals, etc) are the weatherproofing. * Protein: 0.60-0.80 grams per pound of bodyweight -- the highest amount justified by research for active individuals. * Dietary Fat: 0.40-0.45 grams per pound of bodyweight -- the lowest…

None of these have fillers and all taste excellent: • BPI Whey-HD Banana Marshmallow Pie • PES Select Snickerdoodle • Giant Sports Vanilla • IFORCE Protean Strawberries & Cream • BioX Power Whey Chocolate Peanut Butter Swirl • SAN Titanium Banana Coconut • Scivation Chocolate Whey • Trutein Cinnabun • Metabolic Peanut…

No supplement is necessary unless you have a deficiency that you are either unwilling or unable to correct. Some supplements are great to take for convenience purposes. Others can give an athlete or lifter a slight performance boost. However, most supplement purchases are made by novices who waste their money by being…

Just making the point not to believe everything you are told at face value, even if it's coming from a person with "qualifications". Do your research and look to a multitude of sources for answers. "Go see a dietician", is an easy answer to resort to when someone is asking for nutritional advice, and most of the time, that…

Even so, there are some dieticians, doctors, nutritionists, and other "qualified" people who should be giving sound nutritional advice and do not. While you're likely to receive better nutritional information "on average" from this crowd, they are human and make mistakes, too. And some are not even involved with fitness,…

It's not impossible to buy fruits, veggies, oats, and rice for $15-20. However, if this is all someone eats for a 2 week span, then it is not a rational diet. Almost no dietary fat and protein are offered.

Another vote for white rice. I prefer Jasmine and Basmati. Brown rice tastes like dirt and the texture is off-putting, too.

Re: 3 meals vs 6 meals a day It doesn't matter when it comes to weight management. You could eat one, large meal and nothing else for the day... or you could spread that out with 6-12 tiny meals. Assuming both plans are the same calories at the end of the day, your weight will be adjusted in the same respect, too. Don't…

No low fat diet is good. Dietary fat is crucial for a variety of health functions. And no diet can cure your acid reflux. I would avoid spicy foods, hot sauces, and overdoing acidic foods and alcohol... but that's not really a diet per se. Those are just foods that can trigger acid reflux symptoms, as well as the sinus…

Here's 3 ways... * Thick cut chiffonade and serve raw in a salad. * Blanch in heavily salted, boiling water (3-4 minutes) / Shock in ice water / Squeeze completely dry / Store in Refrigerator. When ready to use, saute with olive oil, seasoning, and aromatics (garlic, shallot, red pepper flake, salt, pepper, etc.). * Place…
