None. That being said, I still do six meals/snacks a day. I find i get snacky even if I eat a large meal. So putting that right into my calorie allotment for the day helps mitigate the risk of that.

I love honey as much as the next person, but this chart is just wrong on so many levels. I also only purchase local honey, and most of the time it is raw. Mostly because I prefer the flavor. Processed honey also anti-viral, fungal and bacterial. It never goes bad. Raw honey doesn't necessarily contain royal honey, and it…

Yes, a calorie is a calorie. A calorie is simply a unit of measurement. It's like asking if a ton of feathers and a ton of steel weigh different amounts. Now, nutritionally, cookies aren't that great for you. But who cares, so long as you meet your macro and micro nutrient profiles, treat yourself a little bit. Whatevs.

I'm in for cleanses.

Besides calipers, use a tape measure and track the size of all your limbs and muscle groups (calves, thighs, upper arm, lower arm, neck, waist, booty, chest). Choose a method, either flexed or unflexed, and measure those spots once a month.

56 grams? My breakfast practically contains that much! You might lose weight, but you certainly won't be building any significant strength gains. ETA: You say vegan bodybuilders "eat like this" and build muscle. Here is a link to one that is vegan. They eat 300 grams of protein a day.…

Eating (cooked) animal products is what made us humans. It's what allowed us to be the dominant species on earth. So, because it allowed us to have awesome things like cars and MFP, I would say animal food products are good for you.…

Paradoxically, there is a calorie loss for weightlifting if you search for it under "cardiovascular." How accurate this is, is impossible to say. I'm lifting way more weight now than I did 6 months ago. In theory, I am burning more calories during that time than I was back then, despite my workouts taking the same mount of…

To an extent, I can understand why they don't want GMOs labeled. Most people who are lobbying for labeling don't want to eat GMO food and want to scare people into not eating it. They don't care about understanding GMOs, or what could make them safe or dangerous. They want to drive people to buy more of their food.…

Literally 100% of them. Since most everyone eats GMOs, I can contribute any disease I feel like to GMOs! I even saw one patient the other day that got the flue from GMOs. They were eating a GMO apple after not getting a flu shot, sitting outside in the cold for an hour, then going to a middle school and nursing home.…

In addition to what others have said (it being an infomercial, etc), haven't most of the claims in this movie been thoroughly debunked?

Maybe don't go low carb? If that's your problem, just do something like IIFYM.

You can't target belly fat. Your body will take it off in whatever order it feels like. Usually if you put it on first in a particular area, it will be the last to go. (Imagine sipping a straw out of a bowl. It doesn't matter where the straw is, the water will always go from the edges to the center). If you want to build…

Has to be exactly 78.4 minutes, though. 78.3 and you might as well do nothing, 78.5 and you are going to bulk up and look like a bodybuilder. That's just science.

I'll take a scoop of protein powder and a multivitamin and save a bunch of money then? A tub of ON Whey lasts my wife and I at least 2 months, costs $50, and a multivitamin costs me 20 bucks for a year? Total cost, $0.88? And if your meals cost more than $4 each, you are doing something wrong. My wife and I spend $130 a…

My wife has Celiac's. Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard Whey for us!

My wife and I are having this "problem" right now. I eat larger portions of dinner, she eats smaller. I also make my own breakfast which is higher in calories. And I have lots of nuts like almonds, cashews, etc. In short: Make the same food, he eats more, you eat less. Add a portion of nuts or two to his plate.

Most of what Dr. Oz says is crap. He touts fad diets, and spouts BS to lure housewives with a little too much money to buy stuff from his sponsors. In short, eat under your calorie goal for the day. Literally all that matters for weight loss. ETA: I would sooner take advice from Doc Ock or Doctor Doom.

Do a handstand. Hold it for a minimum of 10 seconds. Do the 300 workout: http://www.menshealth.com/fitness/muscle-building-11/page/2 Bench 2 plates minimum of 5 reps (currently at 185x5). Get to a full plate OHP.

So many people/ I agree with The Rock/Bruce Lee, but I would love to lift with Hugh Jackman (besides, his name sounds like Huge Jacked Man), even if I would totally be pretending, because my bar is not bending.

Nah, I don't crossfit. Bro Science taught me everything I need to know :P https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qnjYyfkcaNI

To everyone who says you can't make a meal for under $4, this is just not true. My wife and I spend about $160 a week on groceries (includes other stuff like TP, fabric softener, etc, not strictly food costs). That comes down to around $80 per person, $11.42 per person per day. Assuming we ate 3 square meals and nothing…

You can't spot reduce, correct. But you you can spot add muscle! That's how it works. Otherwise all those curl bros would have massive legs instead of little chicken legs! (since we all know curl bros skip leg day. And back day, which are the legs of the upper body.)

When it works (which is more often than not) I love Fitocracy, which tracks exercises. When that doesn't work I use Jefit as my backup. I don't use anything besides that and MFP.

I usually keep some core moves the same (pull ups, deadlifts, bench presses, OHP, squat), and then mix up the accessory work every couple months. Switching from one armed dumbbell rows to pendlay rows, for example. Or not doing the pec deck and doing dumbbell chest flys.

All of it.

Once a week. Though I switch up what day it is on. I suck at them. My family has a history of back problems, so a super heavy lift for me is small compared to others. It's the only lift I am considered untrained in (accoting to strstd).

I do all three on my chest days! I start with flat barbell, then do incline dumbbell, the go to the pec deck, then do decline barbell, then finally do cable crossovers.

I like the BB workouts, simply because it was easy. Once I finished a couple, I just hit the gym, though. It's much better for my goals. I still use them to supplement my workouts, however. If I want to get some cardio in, I pop in a DVD. I hate the treadmill, and sometimes I don't feel like going for a run, or the weather…
