That's actually not a lot... 150 grams = just about 5.3 ounces, or smaller than the average fist. Nevertheless, who says you have to eat chicken every day? Protein can come from a multitude of food sources. Tips for logging: Try to always input food by using the barcode scanner on your app + a digital scale to double check…

Your answer: Constant cut & bulk cycles relative to TDEE, combined with adequate protein intake and a proven weightlifting routine designed for a steady progression of new muscle synthesis.

Timing protein shakes (or protein from whole foods) around your workout is not important. What matters is total intake from all foods per day. The recommended amount of protein per day for someone who is concentrating on new muscle synthesis is a range of 0.60-0.80 grams protein per 1 lb. bodyweight. If you regularly fall…

It would be wise to limit moderate to highly processed foods, but individual foods do not dictate a person's health. Try to think of nutrition from a perspective of daily macro, micro, and calorie intake instead of whether cookies, coffee, or cold cuts are good/bad for you. If you are a normal weight, 30 year old female…

Egg Frittatas You'll need a 10-12 inch non-stick skillet Makes 2 Servings 400-500 calories per serving as well as a decent amount of protein, healthy fat, and micronutrients The Basic Frittata * 6 whole large eggs, whisked to combine whites & yolks * 1-2 tbsp. unsalted butter * few pinches of kosher salt, to taste * few…

^Yup, personally 3-4 grams/day (or every other day) is fine. When supplementing and lifting, it can offer boosts of Power (research Creatine + ATP) at the same point in time that your muscles should have completely tired out by not supplementing with it. If you're not weight lifting or interested in gaining new muscle then…

1) Omega 3 Fish Oil is a great supplement for daily use, if properly dosed, molecularly distilled to remove impurities, third party tested, and derived from deep sea fish. Avoid 3-6-9 fish oil supplements. Omega 3 is the only one worth supplementing as the large majority of people get enough of the others in their diets.…

Tastes awful. Not magically better for you, or a better option than something like Sucralose.

PES Select or XF Ultra Peptide 2.0 would be my first recs given your preferences.

A normal, delicious food. Also, a healthy whole food fat. Nothing to worry about. The trick in loving it is proper technique and cooking execution. It should be scale free, crispy, salty, almost bacon-like but without the smoke in its pure form. It's one of those things that seems gross until you try it executed perfectly.

^ Nailed it. Too many people on this forum concentrate on rare conditions and medical diagnoses to build a diet that makes them mentally comfortable. Couple this with media scares and diet propaganda, and fear sets in. However, these diets are not rational for the large majority of society. Unfortunately, a lot of you need…

^ Macros are relevant from a nutritonal standpoint. There are minimums for protein and fat. Also, hitting Macros targets is relevant when it comes to attaining an ideal body composition in active individuals.

Hitting macro targets can however be very relevant when it comes to body composition, overall health, and optimal nutrition.

And why is too many carbs an issue (as opposed to too much dietary fat)? Fat has a caloric load more than double that of Carbs (per gram).

If you're struggling with your weight, then it's a good idea to count calories. After awhile, you will become so good at it that you can estimate total calories simply by sizing a meal up.

Visit page 2 of this site and enter your basic info, being sure to include bodyfat %: http://www.1percentedge.com/ifcalc/ Ideally, ensure macronutrient sufficiency predominantly from whole and minimally processed foods. Protein: ~0.60 to ~0.80 grams per pound of bodyweight (or target/ideal weight in the obese) -- the…

@ninerbuff I know you're an American Ninja Warrior fan, so taking the above comment into consideration, what do you think about Tremayne Dortch's abs? They certainly seem to pop out of him more than other people of the same bodyfat %. Awkward pic of his abs, but you get the idea...

Just clarifying that even though the program only lets you adjust by percentages, to instead look at the grams those percentages provide for a clearer picture. There are target ranges when you measure by grams, but throwing out percentages and comparing them with other people is arbitrary and does no one any good.

Mix these ingredients with cumin, chili powder, red pepper flake, and any spices you desire for a sort of Mexican Chili, a one pot meal. Serve with cilantro & lime zest scented rice. Other ideas: * Marinated & grilled chicken, zucchini and yellow squash with crispy kale chips and roasted sweet potatoes * Spinach, Red…

For someone who wishes to bulk wisely, you are overconsuming protein and underconsuming dietary fat. Protein is the most expensive macronutrient in the supermarket. Why would you eat double the protein you need if it isn't going to do anything for new muscle synthesis? (more on that below)... Also, why would you not eat…

Don't go by percentages... go by grams. MFP provides the grams when you select the percentages.

I have read that limiting refined sugars like white sugar, and those found in baked goods, ice cream, candy, most store bought juices, etc. to approx. 50 g or less per day is a good health strategy. I don't eat too many of those foods for it to ever become an issue. But like others have said, you really can't quit whole…

It's not ignorance. Your rationale is just idiotic. So are your charts.

Lol, nice name troll boy.

Honestly, no. But thanks. It's funny that you trust mfp recommendations by the way. Also, what are you trying to accomplish with that chart? That is just breaking down omega 3 and 6 intake rates. To even suggest optimal omega 6 is actually kind of funny. And the omega 3 chart ignores epa and dha for adults for ala, which…

You're bound to be deficient in your dietary fat and protein macros as well as more than a couple micronutrients with most of these plain rice and oatmeal meals people are suggesting. It's just very unhealthy. You'd struggle to hit more calories than someone who is in a coma with these low fat plans. It's kind of hard to…

Can you eat a pound of lentils, a pound of rice, and a pound of oatmeal with some vegetables peppered in there for 10 days straight? I understand the need to be healthy, but that is what I was claiming wasn't realistic... eating healthy for 10 days straight at just $2 per day.

No... Strong reading comprehension. How did that come across as me making fun of her for being poor? Stop being angry because you tried to prove me wrong in another thread. Then I turned around and actually proved you wrong.

My point is that it's doable in that particular scenario, but not ideal or realistic in the slightest.

Beta Carotene is different than Retinol. Do some research and you will see what I mean. Essentially, don't worry about it. Eating two pounds of carrots is different than eating two pounds of calf liver in one sitting as far as Vitamin A goes at least.
