Breakfast is not the most important meal of the day. Breakfast does not 'kick start' your metabolism. This is just information that you have been fed since you were a child, and now it's habit. You can totally skip breakfast without any harm. Many people do it with intermittent fasting (your eating window is 8 hours each…

It's hard to say which is more effective. I believe that each is just as effective if you are doing the same number of total repetitions. Circuits are good for keeping your heart rate up for longer, and for cutting down your time at the gym. I would use repetitive exercises when I really want to focus on a specific muscle…

Knees is common. I didn't realize how much I sweat on my knees until I started playing volleyball, just ask my kneepads! I sweat everywhere, so I don't think there's an odd place to sweat.

If your profile pic is you, I think you're doing fine. You can eat that much protein without any issues. I eat 170-200g per day. The more protein and healthy fats you eat, the less carbs you will eat, so it's all good!

This is true, but it doesn't take into account other issues. People don't JUST want to lose fat, they want to gain muscle. So by this logic, if they ate nothing but sugary treats and ate a deficit, they would lose weight (which is true). However, they would not improve body composition, their body would look like *kitten*.…

I'm aware of this, but the OP was making eating fat out to be the culprit. I was merely dispelling the age old myth that eating even a little bit of fat makes you fat. I stand by my statement.

Fat doesn’t make you fat. Sugar makes you fat. Try to eat the good fats, which can actually help you stay healthy.

There was an interesting study done about the effects of chia seeds. They found that the omega-3's in chia seeds only really benefited people who ate ground up chia seeds. I would suspect that our stomachs don't digest the full seeds, so to reap the most benefit, you may want to buy preground chia seeds, or grind them…

Be strong. I know you can do it. Like I said before, if anyone is judging you, they're terrible people.

It's not full of healthy and fit people, it's mostly full of people who want to get healthy and fit and are at different stages of their own journey. Just join and get out there! Seriously, no one will judge you, and those that do aren't worth your time.

Unless you have 45 lbs plates on the sides, or something of similar size, you shouldn't go to the floor. My gym has wooden weights that are cut the same size as the 45 lbs, for lighter lifters. If you go all the way to the floor with the weight you're lifting, the bar will be lower than normal, so you have to bend over…

Increase your protein, take the calories from carbs. Your fat intake is fine, just make sure that you are getting healthy fats (nuts, cheese, eggs), try to avoid trans fats.

Definitely beef, bison, deer, elk steaks. Any kind of steak.

There are common 'minimums' thrown around, but most people miss the caveat that these are minimums for best results for gaining muscle mass and burning fat. You can gain muscle mass eating less protein, but it will be slower. If I weren't working out, but was maintaining and wanted to live a healthy lifestyle, 1g of…

There's a topic on this on the first page already.... http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/1222374-abs-are-made-in-the-kitchen-vs-core-work

Some people need to consume over 200g per day of protein powder. Trying to get that high is hard, the supplement just makes it easier. There's nothing wrong with protein powder, and good powder is not processed crap, but thanks for your uneducated input.

Pretty much this. A young body can adapt way quicker than an older body, and provided that he eats right (lookin at you Mum!) he'll be able to grow pretty easily.

Just to clear the air, for some people the DOMs don't ever go away. I'm always sore after a leg day and for three days afterwards, even if I work legs twice a week for months. It's just the way my body works, and the DOMs are just as bad after months as they were on day 1.

It's nearly impossible to eat so much protein that you are actually causing damage to your kidneys. As long as you try to stay around 1-2g per lb of body mass you will be fine.

It's fox news..... I wouldn't take it as fact.

OP has stated at least three times that they can't drink milk because it affects her acne.

I gave you ideas for snacks in my previous post. Protein bars almost always have added sugar to make them taste good. I would suggest getting your snacks from natural foods. Peanut butter on a spoon, a couple handfuls of almonds...

I don't think it's that healthy. It has glucose, cocoa powder, caramel, lots of unnecessary ingredients. Go to a nutrition store and see what types of protein bars they sell.

If you're working out, and trying to build muscle, you should eat at least 1g of protein per pound of bodyweight. Protein powder is a useful alternative to meat, but is not necessary. It's not hard to get over 100g of protein each day, just cut out some carbs and fat and eat more meat. Meat free alternatives include…

Nothing wrong with push ups, they are great, but as you get stronger, if you really want to work your chest, you're going to have to eventually bench.

IF is fine for anyone. I currently eat all my calories between noon and 8 pm. I found that the key to not be hungry in the morning is to get at least six hours, if not eight hours, of good sleep each night. Getting adequate sleep will reduce the amount of the hormone ghrelin in your body, which increases your appetite,…

Bench Press; flat, incline, decline.

I say the same thing to everyone who posts about pain and what activities they can do. No one here can diagnose what happened to your back, nor can they provide you with beneficial advice. Their advice could actually hurt you more. You need to see a doctor to determine whether or not you can continue to do physical…

Working chest is important to women as well as men. Your misconception is that you'll end up with a man's chest, which couldn't be further from the truth.

Using dumbbells for squats is a bad idea if you ever plan on trying to perfect your form and increase your weight beyond 50 lbs per side. For heavy weight, you really need to be supporting the weight with your entire body. I suggest what others already have, ask the person using the rack if you can have it next. A busy gym…
