  • I also eat over 100g on one sitting (intermittent fasting.) But the body can only absorb so much per hour which varies between individuals. It should be obvious what happens when you consume well beyond your body's tolerance
  • In my experience people's bodies respond to things differently. For example, I tend to maintain weight if I have more than 2 cups of milk a day even though I finish the day at or below my macros and calories. At first I thought it was because of the sugar, so I lowered it for the day to make way for milk and it made no…
  • Yes, checkout the "Support for our INSANITY" and Beachbody Fit Club groups

  • Egg whites, protein shakes, chicken, and tuna are a good start

  • If your body is conditioned for the amounts you're giving it then sure why not. But if you're experiencing pain, discomfort, sore muscles tendons or joins, then obviously give it a rest
  • It's not much? That's a nice way to be modest, but that's 25 lbs. Looks good well done
  • When MFP says you burn more calories on a leisure bike ride < 10mph compared to 20 minutes of jogging >7 mph something is wrong. lmao
  • I agree, if you won't go over your goal I don't see why not. This is why I love cereals like Cheerios, 1g of sugar opens so many possibilities.
  • By looking at your diary it shows you're consistently going over, usually due to high sodium foods. I'd work at cutting some of those out. One tip I like for fixing a high sodium diet is to counter it with meals that have more potassium than sodium.

  • Also every morning upon waking. Measurements are once a week
  • Good luck!

  • It really depends on your diet
  • My personal preference is to think of your diet goals on a weekly outlook rather than a daily. It is very easy to make corrections like this, even more-so if you eat 5-6 meals a day.
  • You can try to eat a little bit every 2-3 hours. When this happens to me I still try to reach my goals for the day.
  • Bake some chicken breasts in the oven. Boil your rice. Steam some broccoli. Pan fry some tri-colored bell peppers cut into strips. Microwave 2 tbsp of reduced-sodium teriyaki. Cut up your chicken into bite sized pieces, mix around in a bowl with teriyaki. Put the rice on your plate and spread, add the chicken, broccoli,…
  • I agree, if you have the money Jay Robb protein (whey isolate) is good, the chocolate flavor is on par with Optimum Nutrition's. On the flip side it is expensive and is equivalent in price to many higher quality hydrolized whey proteins on the market.
  • When you're healthy and have normally functioning kidneys excess amounts of sodium passes through urine and perspiration; it is not stored.
  • Always warm-up before stretching. Ideally you want to warm-up -> stretch -> workout -> stretch
  • I personally wouldn't recommend 2 carbs for a breakfast, but instead a carb + protein. Banana + yogurt, apple + egg whites, etc. I also avoid fats for breakfast because it will slow down digestion, not what you want for your first meal of the day.

  • In my experience the temptation never really goes away, but your resistance to them increases. Along with understanding more about what makes a food healthy, the more disgusting that food is becomes revealed. The best motivation is seeing your own progress when you stick with it, then you have realistic expectations and…
  • Pick a caloric intake between your BMR and TDEE. Try this http://www.health-calc.com/diet/energy-expenditure-advanced
  • There is no other helpful tip I can give you for getting the nutrients you need besides eating natural healthy food for them. If you can't make time for your own body then you need to reorganize your priorities. There are no shortcuts, sorry.
  • Most definitely you should include the water in your coffee and anything else you drink. You should also remember that caffeine is a diuretic. Alsot a lot of food you eat has water in it. To give you an idea: Apple = 84% water (116g) Banana = 74% (85g) Broccoli = 91% (40g) Carrots = 87% (63g) Cucumber = 96% (50g) Potato =…
  • I try to stay under calories, carbs, and sodium with a higher tolerance for going over on protein and poly&mono fats. I make an extra effort to get close to my potassium intake which is 3.5g, I rarely hit that much but if I'm equal to or greater than sodium (or > 2.5g) I'm satisfied.
  • It is easy to forget but a lot of food you eat has water in it. To give you an idea: Apple = 84% water (116g) Banana = 74% (85g) Broccoli = 91% (40g) Carrots = 87% (63g) Cucumber = 96% (50g) Potato = 79% (88g) Strawberries = 92% (136g) Tomato = 94% (115g) The amount in grams represents the water weight. This is also why it…
  • My go-to salmon recipe consists of lemon slices (or lemon pepper), garlic powder, soy sauce (ultra low sodium), brown sugar, and maybe a dash of salt. I usually use equal amounts of soy sauce and brown sugar (1 tbsp or less for each 4oz). Put all those into a bowl then add tbsp and a half of water and 1 tbsp of grapeseed…
  • The recommendation from the Institute of Medicine is 45-65% carbs, 20-35% fat, and 10-35% protein. The fewer calories you consume the larger portion of those calories should be from protein. When consuming carbs you need to make sure you are not exceeding your sugar intake, this is the biggest mistake people make because…
  • Jiu-jitsu, boxing, muay thai, wrestling are my recommendations for overall fitness.
  • I would recommend avoiding this site. A lot of his information is based on old studies and information. I called him out on some of his articles on Google+ and the only proof he could make for his claims was based on results from animal studies and non-human trials.
