Also, water is good for you, I hear.

If you're looking for straight protein, protein shakes can get about 20-25 grams for 100-120 calories If you eat eggs, egg whites can get you around 20 or so for 100 calories and can be eaten with veggies (omelete) or otherwise (hard boiled, scrambled, etc) For the record, I'm not saying nuts/nut butters aren't good for…

I'm glad y'all get it, at least.

6 grams of protein is pretty insignificant as it is, and there are a bunch of lower calorie, lower density, higher protein things that people could be eating. Ones that are complete proteins, too.

I'm not trying to disparage nuts or nut butters in anyway, I think they're great and I have at least a serving a day, I just think that people somehow associate nuts and protein, despite the fact that most only have about 6 grams for 150 calories (if that) and it's a pretty measly and useless standalone protein source, as…

These studies only test correlation, not causation. Just because they gained weight doesn't mean it's because of the diet soda. They have no scientific proof that diet soda itself causes any sort of weight gain, only proof that people who drink diet soda are overweight and gain weight, which makes perfect sense.

Just because there shouldn't be any confusion, neither of these snacks are particularly high in protein, but high fat.

If you're looking for a shake that is giving you lots of protein, you could do better than muslce milk for the calories. In a protein shake, I look for the ratio of protein calories to fat/carb calories. The bottled muscle milks don't do all that well when compared with Optimum Nutrition or IsoPure in that regard.

I eat over 200 grams of protein a day. The MFP recommendation is very, very low. I'd go in to the custom settings and change the protein percentage.

I mean, you'll cut calories and lose weight, but your diet will have woefully low amounts of both fat (unless you're eating avocado) and protein. Definitely not sustainable for a long time.

All of the people that are actually giving serious answers to this question amaze me. This is clearly, CLEARLY, a joke. Internet is srs buzness, yo.

For me to fit into my healthy range I'd have to lose a lot of muscle... and probably some bone. Personally, imma try and hold on to that.

Foods with healthy fats are your friends. Nut butters, Olive Oils, Nuts, Avacado, etc.

As Acg67 said, there are no proven metabolic benefits to eating more frequently, so don't feel like you need to eat every couple of hours because of it. Second, grazing doesn't work for some people, and maybe that's what contributed to your weight gain. If you were never full and continuously overate when you were gaining,…

I'm a college student as well. On Sunday, while watching Football, my friend, who had, to his credit, just crushed my fantasy team, ordered himself a large "Victory Pizza" from Domino's and proceeded toe at the entire thing. He's over weight, but I have many a skinny friend who pull that off. Whenever we go to the dining…

BMI is an incredibly inaccurate number. I'd imagine that I'd have an extremely tough time getting to the top of the healthy weight for BMI, at 6 1.

You can gain weight on Broccoli if you eat enough of it. Everything in moderation.

It seems like it's better to eat the regular versions and just watch portions because it is better to eat the regular versions and watch portions.

The sugars in flavored yogurt are by and large not from lactose but from the additives for flavor. Other than that. natural sugars are fine.

The question is asking how to up their calories, eating nuts makes perfect sense...

Why?

Personally, my favorite low carb snacks are eggs and cheeses. Very filling mix of fat and protein in both.

Muscle loss is inevitable. However, you can minimize muscle loss by eating a lot of protein and doing strength training.

1740 on days I don't work out 2200 on days I do.

In my opinion, it doesn't really matter. Take and believe whatever reading will keep you motivated and making progress. I think that weight is a superficial number that shouldn't hold such importance. Qualitative factors like how you feel and how you look are far more important.

Part of that isn't necessarily putting on lean muscle. There are arguments (I don't have the studies they're based on at hand, so I'm not going to state anything as a fact) that after strenuous weight training, the metabolism can be heightened for up to, I believe, 39 hours or more. While cardio does spike your metabolism,…

Cutting Carbs isn't the actual answer. Eating more protein is, and switching up carbs for protein is a good way to do that.

As far as I know, the taking a BCAA before a workout that is otherwise fasted is that it helps prevent muscle loss.

I mean, I eat the same amount of vegetables, roughly, everyday, so the calore difference is basically the same, I just figure the amounts offset each other.
