Pork tenderloin ... i never knew it was as protein rich and lean as it is per serving. One of the best meats, pork who knew

3/4 cup ... why?!?! I don't eat it often either but that blew my mind when i realized the actual serving size.. it's a bit crazy considering how bad things can get out of control really quickly with a bowl of cereal ..3/4 cup, no i want a bowl of cereal lol not whats floating in the milk when I'm nearly done

Yeah you're right, i was thinking fats and no carbs lol i never really worry about protein because my intake is so high... my bad... still a good snack though haha nice catch

Other than stimulants there's not any real effective supplements that will cause weight loss ... yohimbine and caffeine are solid choices but again these are stimulants ... performix sst is a great thermogenic and will get you going lol most products though are gimmicks and nothing beats a solid nutrition plan and cardio

Its a marathon not a sprint so keep in mind as long as you stay consistent in eating right and exercising the weight loss will come, its different for everyone so don't get discouraged, enjoy the journey and embrace the fact that you're making positive changes that impact your longevity and life, accept that mistakes will…

I didn't miss that part which is why I'm stressing the fact that its going to be hard, the old school approach is tried and true, its the most basic way to approach cutting, easy no not at all but i think its just confusing when people suggest that he eats the way he wants but just dial it back, i have to assume he wasn't…

Its ok to go over protein a bit, but if you want filling low protein foods you can eat a bunch of stuff, sweet potatoes, salads or pretty much all the leafy green veggies you want, or just veggies in general lol rice, quinoa, cheese,... i love parmasean chips, you make little 1 tbs mounds of shredded parmasean flatten them…

Its always a 50/50 type of debate, there are those that say it doesn't work and those that swear by it.... I personally see it as beneficial and something that has worked for me, i tend to burn more calories throughout the day on fasted cardio days and feel so much more energetic, having food in my belly when i do cardio…

Unless you're running aas or something like clen or winstrol I'm not buying the whole contest prep is easy bit and even on cycle its not easy... such bullsh!t... not one person I've ever talked to who has placed in a contest am or pro has ever said prep is easy, its literally draining and one of the most taxing parts of…

Low fat in a cut isn't arbitrary, i didn't say no fat i said keep fats low at this point while he has a bunch if stored energy the excessive fats are unnecessary his body is storing enough.... and I'm sorry but the harsh reality is no bodybuilder cuts by eating what they want just a little less of it, i take that as eat…

I've said many times if it works for you then that is amazing, I'm simply saying there are more effecient and effective ways, flexible dieting is great when it works, trust me i enjoy variety but when the discussion is "clean" eating vs "dirty" or whatever verbage was used then I'm in the side of clean eating, because it…

When i say burger its in reference to fast food, McDonalds, burger king etc. I eat healthy burgers from time to time, turkey or even 93/7 grass fed beef .. but thats a clean option opposed to getting McDonalds simply because its in my calorie and macro budget, totally disregarding cholesterol, sodium, fats, etc. I'm not…

There's a reason food is euphoric and the issue with that is people get addicted to that feeling and chase it, the more you're dependant on that happiness from food the more your body will crave the foods that trigger that release of dopamine and serotonin... once we change our relationship with food thats when it no…

I didn't fail to make a case for it, whats being said is just being ignored. Answers may not be what people want to hear but it doesn't mean they aren't true. Simply put, a clean diet of whole foods is and will always be the better choice. The source and the quality of food you eat makes a difference and plays a part in…

Whats overly complicated about eating whole healthy foods? Whats complicated about learning simple nutritional timing? Its more complicated to continue to eat garbage and try to sort out why you're still struggling with weight issues quite honestly I didn't post that article with the intention of plagiarism is was 5 in the…

It has everything to do with fat loss and the average person, bodybuilders don't cut this way because they aren't average people they do it because it is the most effecient and effevtive way to cut fat while being able to maintain or build muscle, i said having a cheat is ok in moderation but for people who have bad eating…

"Different foods go through different metabolic pathways. Some of these pathways are more “efficient” than others. The more “efficient” a metabolic pathway is, the more of the food energy is used for work and less is dissipated as heat. The metabolic pathways for protein are less efficient than the metabolic pathways for…

My definition of cut is in a different context... OP knows what i mean ... didn't mean to offend you the comment was for the person who posted, if the advice i posted doesn't apply to you disregard it, no need to be offended or that emotionally invested

Cmon man thats survival and not health and fitness, thats such an unfair example.... the minute details are what gets someone to a fairly small body fat percentage and aesthetic that most strive for ... everyone's goals are different but losing weight doesn't always mean getting healthy or looking good.

I understand that, what I'm talking about is the bioavailability of the nutrients we eat, if it takes more energy to make one source bioavailable than it does another than the body will choose the easier source, this can mean not everything you're eating is being utilized the way some might think it is and may be getting…

Not at all irrelevant, and thats all dependant on how fast the food you eat is digested and metabolized, how quickly that energy is readily available for the body to use. Quality of food determines this. You know as well as I that the body will use the most effecient and readily available source of energy, the energy that…

It's not about eating what you like man, don't listen to that garbage, you're trying to cut. You want to get ripped so get disciplined and follow a strict nutrition plan, slowly cut cals and get your macros in check, if you're lifting make sure you get enoufh carbs , keep fats low and proteins high, increase cardio and…

The type of food you eat determines the bodies energy expenditure, how that food is metabolized and used... energy expenditure is a real thing and regardless if one is at a caloric deficit the type of food you eat determines weight loss, the human body processes and uses energy efficiently if it needs to use more energy to…

Sounds like a good plan, just make sure those calories are accurate, use a tdee calculator. You want to establish solid maintenance calories so you can safely stay at a deficit as you lose more weight, at your height and weight under 2000 seems very low, and you have to think ahead, when you plateau you'll have to drop…

I commend you on achieving your goals as well as maintaining them so long, others struggle though and its mainly because of bad habits and eating bad foods, my goals are probably much different than most peoples as a bodybuilder so the minutia is very important, cutting bodyfat is a large part of my program as well as…

True in the APPROPRIATE deficit you will lose weight, but if you don't manage the minute details you cannot be in control of what type of weight you're losing, are you losing only fat? Is it mostly water? Are you losing muscle? .... losing weight is great and I'm not going to knock anyone for their goals but until people…

I agree to a certain extent, natural yes but they can also be a huge reflection if dietary flaws, such as sodium intake, not enough water, etc. Etc. Excessive water retention can be quickly corrected with small changes, so thats why i like to weigh myself the way i do because I like to guage my weight as close as i can to…

I've read the previous pages, and again there's a major difference in clean and junk eating as well as timing, there's no magic in simple carbs being stored its science. even if one is in a deficit that doesn't mean the body will utilize it first as an energy source, the body uses the best energy source for its current…

In a way they are false, if for some reason you're 5lbs heavier because of water retention, something that can be quickly and easily corrected then thats a false value, fat loss is most peoples primary goal, fat oxidation isn't a quick and easy thing, so some people may see the number fluctuate by a few pounds because they…
