I would flip that around completely and make it (if you insist on having breakfast): 200 calories for breakfast 400 calories for lunch 800 calories for dinner (100-200 calories before bed). There's no real reason to be snacking, and for 100 calories any snack you have will just make you hungrier. Give yourself some time to…

There IS a limit but it really depends on what the "body of your dreams" is. For example: things like wrist size, abdominal belly shape/size, shoulder structure, and where/how my body stores fat would prevent me from achieving the identical physique as someone who had vastly different characteristics. As a general question…

I don't think it has any effect on your weight loss but I would probably avoid sugary foods before bed for practical reasons: I don't want sugar when I'm trying to sleep! What's the bootcamp eating plan?

Whenever I start to come down with cold symptoms I eat a grapefruit, drink gallons of water, then have my regular meal with some tea and honey and then take as many naps as I can. Unfortunately with colds (assuming you mean the rhinovirus) you really just have to let it run its course. The vitamin C and honey and making…

Personal preference, but I prefer multivitamins that have the dosage split 2 or 3x throughout the day. With most multivitamins that you only take once/day, my experience has been that the dosage is simply more than your body can absorb in one sitting and consequently you're pissing most of the vitamins, along with your…

I'm sure doctors do learn about nutrition. They're using textbooks published 20 years ago, it seems.

My rebuke, as you put it, was for you referring to the null hypothesis as the null hippopotamus; as if your mockery of the term itself somehow calls into question the validity of the scientific process. Think about it.

Being purposefully condescending doesn't exactly do you credit.

This thread is called "How and why carbs and a high carb intake will keep you fat". How can you say that OP isn't saying or implying that carbs make you fat?

There are a lot of things that "work" that aren't necessarily the most effective or even commendable. For instance: eating a diet consisting entirely of donuts while maintaining a caloric deficit. But the three following statements are very different: (1) I stopped eating carbs and I lost weight. (2) I stopped eating carbs…

A calorie is CLEARLY a calorie. There is absolutely no support or evidence even suggesting otherwise. A little word to the wise: rather than trusting something as important as your health blindly to regurgitated and antiquated notions -- e.g., eat six meals a day to stoke your metabolic fire or carbs are the enemy!! --…

Let's be serious. Her "maintenance calorie count" isn't 1200-1400. 1400 might be her BMR, but unless she's lying in bed all day that's not her maintenance calorie intake. If she's active at all her actual maintenance intake is probably closer to 2000. Which means, for a maximum recommended weight loss of 2 lbs/week she can…

Strong transformation btw.

Better question is... what kind of meal is peanut butter on toast? If you're talking two slices of bread that's a snack, not a meal.

Healthy IS more expensive... if you look at price per calorie and time. Not much you can do about it though!

As interesting as that would be I can't just "visit any hospital" today and make that a valid basis for comparison without going into prehistoric hospitals as well. Not to mention that the consumption of grain (percentage-wise) of our diet has actually been DECREASING over the past 100 years. Yet, as you say, the level of…

No. Not even close. If you believe in evolution you must admit that the evidence is clear that for the vast majority of our EXISTENCE, humans were not grain eaters. [From 200,000-20,000 years ago]. Conceded. If you believe in evolution, you must admit that the greatest DEVELOPMENT was made post-adoption of grains [20,000…

Obviously not the most qualified being neither young or a girl, but promoting healthy eating and exercise doesn't have to be obtrusive. Healthy and sustainable eating doesn't even have to be boring! It doesn't even mean you can't have desserts or cookies or ice cream or all that stuff... I would think that if you just make…

Aragon reps would just make my week. Anyway, good to have you here. I try to get in on help threads early on before all the other stuff comes though lately I've found myself wondering if a little bit of structure, even if misinformed, is still better than none. I mean: 6 meals per day to stoke the metabolic fire and…

For information, but not to post very frequently. Especially when I have little to add to conversations -- I am unashamedly an Aragon/Berkhan follower, and while I independently research hotly/newly contested topics to develop my own opinion I'm happy to trust in their critiques.

Not surprising. The majority of people still, understandably, get their information from Men's Health or blogs. And the blogs don't exactly keep up to date on nutritional developments... Too late -- just finished, and I literally busted out laughing every other post. I loved the part where basically: Sometimes, but I try…

From Nutrition? Then MFP must drive you crazy... I just started reading the Carbs - friend or foe? thread and lol. Also, I like it here, the food tracking is pretty easy to use and makes it easy to track macros (albeit a little loosely). And the people are pretty friendly and supportive -- sometimes too much so.…

Just do it? Who cares if you're the only guy. Yoga is great for flexibility and helps in all your athletic goals. Although it is slightly emasculating when all these tiny women are going through the yoga poses without breaking a sweat and I'm struggling and hurting to hold downward dog. A relaxing pose? Relaxing? REALLY?!…

I try to legitimately help people here but it's like fighting the tide sometimes. I've completely stopped posting in high-reps to tone threads.

What gave me away?

Nice. Hydrowhey is a good choice because the hydrolyzed proteins get them into your system when your body needs it most. Also. Aware?

I try to stay out of paleo threads now but I read the post about how evolution means eating paleo is better than eating grains and I couldn't resist. 'night, enjoy your breakfast! Eggs = delicious.

I'm all for being supportive but let's not go overboard. I saw the exact opposite. (At least for the past week). It looks like you're eating chocolate or candies or chips/cheetos everyday. These are foods that are very sweet and high in sugar while being very low in satiety which makes them easy to binge on. If you're…

Gotta slam those BCAAs pre-workout, Bro!
