After is good, but really you should make sure your daily intake is high even on off days, since that's when you're gonna be building muscle.

Beef jerky, greek yogurt, albacore tuna (better than the chunk light stuff) or pouched/canned salmon/chicken, and string cheese are all pretty decent choices. Protein powder + milk is also an option. I wait for some to go on sale...got 8.8 lbs for 45 dollars shipped. That's 120 scoops of protein, each scoop is 21g of…

Big thing I notice in these threads is moderation, or a lack there of. I generally consume 1 can of diet soda at lunch every day of the work week. At home, I will go through about one 2L bottle of pop a week. I drink at least 80 ounces of water per day. I see some people hardly drink water or pound back six or seven cans a…

Special K Protein Use almond milk or light soy milk to minimize calories Not sure about you guys but whenever I eat cereal I get hungry two hours later

I'm not a doctor, I'm someone with common sense and enough time to read various articles, medical journals, and forums. You won't "starve" eating 1,000 calories, especially for one day. The reason you don't want to consistently eat a low number of calories is because eventually, you will have nothing to cut and will cease…

Oatmeal with soy milk is always good. Low in calories, high in protein. There's a plethora of things you can do with eggs, vegetables, and leftover meat. Light yogurt and a piece of fruit always works for me if I'm low on time as well.

Diet soda = 0 calories. You gain weight if you consume more calories than you burn. Zero is zero. Period. You cannot make up math to suit your opinion, math is what it is. And in the world of counting calories (which, if you're using mfp, you are), you should realize anything with 0 calories is not adding to your daily…

The above poster is spot on. If I know I'll be going out drinking, I try to eat less calories that day or go hard in the gym to compensate for the difference.

Weight loss is about calories. Diet soda has no calories, and therefore, has no affect on losing weight. I have lost over 30 pounds and I drink it (not every day, but fairly occasionally) and my brother who has lost 60 pounds drinks more than I do. Of course I drink about 80 ounces of water a day as well, but the idea that…

Starvation mode is either nearly impossible to enter or doesn't exist at all. You're being very irrational.

Soy Milk is high in protein and calcium, and low in calories. The light vanilla version I like only has 70 calories in 8 ounces and tastes really good.
