Peanut butter will not make you fat, overeating your basic required calories will. Buy the natural peanut butter or the one called smart pb. It is a great pre and post workout snack along with some carbs or fruit like banana and oatmeal. Throw it on 1 piece of wheat bread, wheat crackers, bake it in no-bake cookies, or mix…

Awesome, amazing, cool, tweet, woot, and finally BIEBER.

+1 on Brandon74's answer. But, serving size based on your goal, I'd shoot for 1/2 to 3/4 cup cooked measured in a cup loosely, not packed down. As long as you have a protein source along with it, you are on the right track.

Hello, all these are good and funny answers. Here is some advice on doms, it does go away. If you are using weights, leg day is the absolute worst. I still get it up to 5 days after but results are always promising. Fitness has become like a hobby to me and is a way of life so pain and soreness are part of the game. Some…

Well since cardio is not your interest, stay away from planet fitness and all that hype. 24hr fitness is alright, but look for a no contract place with pull up and dip equipment. Life fitness machines are good for isolation and cable exercises. Best gyms have a big dumbbell area and mirrors to check proper form since that…

Jump rope HIIT style, by far the most underrated, fat burning, cardio, cheapest, simplest exercise out there. Best weight training day pull-ups with weighted dips.

This is a controversial subject to answer. A cheat meal is really the more logical way to go about it. A cheat day you are going to just add up alot of unsensible choices more than likely. A cheat day might push your results back 2-3 days to recover, as a cheat meal maybe 1 day. If you have 4 cheat days a month, you are…

You're welcome, the hardest part is knowing what to cook. Chicken and brown rice gets old sometimes.

Congratulations on your personal goal and quest. Losing 50lbs. by next summer is completely possible. Your mind will have to be more powerful than your body to overcome the hunger pangs and physical abuse you are going to endure. The truth is at the end of the day no matter what you hear is "calories in calories out." I…

All these above are great exercises. Once I developed my core, I hit abs 3x a week for 30 mins. Here a sample of what you can do with awesome results: 3 sets of 45 secs planks 3 sets of 15 kettlebell swings (no weight less than 10lbs or wasting your time) 3 sets of 20 oblique side dumbbell lifts (15-30lb. 1 dumbbell) 3…

+1 On Optimum Nutrition, an honest company with guaranteed results. Any whey that is an isolate is more pure and better processed. You can buy eas at wal-mart for $12 but I doubt you get what's on the label. Check out a vitamin shoppe in your area, they carry ON protein all flavors.

Any cardio before a weight training session would be less energy before weight training. A 10-15 mins slow walk on the treadmill before hitting weights is fine. If you do an all out sprint or hiit before weights you have no glycogen left in your muscles. Now, you will be using your muscles for energy with no gains or fat…

+1 on cardio but there are 2 key times in the day to do it. If you don't get hungry as soon as you wake up, walk 15-25 mins slow pace 3-4 days a week, anything fast your body will tap into the easiest thing it can burn which is your muscles. Another time in the day after you get your balance of protein-carbs-fat, maybe 1-2…

Hello, here is some quick advice to your situation. The description of what you just wrote is possibly due to a muscle sprain, by abnormal posture or extreme movement maintained during that act you described. Such pain can respond to medications like Ibuprofen 400 mg taken 2-3 times a day. This generally resolves within a…
