It would depend on when your last meal was. If it has been a while, and you feel as if you'll be needing some more fuel for your workout, I would eat either a protein shake or a meal with carbs/protein about 30 mins to an hour prior to working out. Otherwise, just have it after your workout.

It was a good article... thanks for posting. High protein diets work very well for weight loss and body recomp. Unfortunately, a lot of good folks here misinterpret that phenomenon and attribute their weight loss to their dogmatic adherence to a low-carb diet. The Energy Balance equation holds true and humans are subject…

Bulgarian squats.

Scoop of cottage cheese.

+1. Exactly what he said! I would "culk", increase protein to 1.5 per lbm, cycle carbs according to your training. In addition, I would alternate days of steady state and HIIT instead of doing exclusively HIIT.

Part of the sugar in fruits is classified as fructose. Fructose gets stored in your body as liver glycogen. Liver glycogen has a satiating effect on your brain. A good cure for the munchies!!

If you haven't lost any weight for the past 6 months but you are adhereing to the calorie deficit set by MFP, then you'll need to re-evaluate your daily calorie expenditure. Based on the info available, that's pretty much all I can say. If you provide more details about your workout routine and how much protein you are…

I drink Monster Milk, but if you're looking for low carb, then I'd go with Optimum's 100% Whey.

If I was a professional athlete instead of someone who spent 50+ hours at the office with not enough time to prepare meals to fit my daily protein requirements, then yeah, I might very well not eat protein shakes. Instead I would have my professional chef or prepare my own meals. But since I don't have those kinds of…

ninerbuff, I agree with what you are saying, but for people who are new to weight training and have a substantial amount of body-fat, there will be a short period of time where fat loss and muscle gain will occur at the same time. But for someone who's been lifting for any reasonable amount of time, it becomes very…

"In all my experience, with all types of people at nearly every possible fitness level imaginable, I have yet to see even one person turn a body they hate into a body they love. To be honest, I don’t think it can be done. I am not saying people don’t end up appreciative of their gains, but many will never be satisfied with…

You're not tracking protein? For me, proper eating begins and ends with two things... meeting your calories and meeting your protein.

6-8 cups of black coffee daily for me. I drink away as I don't consider it a weakness.

I went to college cuz I'm not wicked smaaahrt...

Nope. It's a very good website with its focus on sound, science-based principles, but it doesn't come close to some of the advanced stuff taught by Venuto in his BTFFTM book. I do agree however, that the information is out there and it is free..... See Lyle McDonald, Alan Aragon, Martin Berkhan...

Total myth that just won't die.... Let's not forget just how long it takes to digest protein. A big steak with loads of protein takes over 10 hours to fully digest. Think about that for a sec. So in those 10+ hours, our body only utilized 30 of those grams? I don't think so. Per Martin Berkhan, the 30 grams of protein myth…

Do they have low carb Elvish bread?

I get what you are saying because I'm a high protein person myself. But the Fathead diet wasn't even low carb, was it? Wasn't he eating the bun with each meal? Although I'm a high protein person, I still do eat a moderate amount of carbs... but even I would have trouble meeting my daily macros if I were to down a burger…

An alternative method might be to set your daily deficit pretty low, like say....200 calories and aim for a weekly calorie deficit by filling in the remaining calories via exercise. Basically you'd be aiming for a weekly calorie deficit instead of a daily one. This way you'd have flexibility in your workout schedule and…

That is a lot of protein. hehe. I'm sure you mean 1 - 1.2 g/lb of LBM.

+1! People need to really READ what the OP is saying.. Egg whites are a good tool to help people hit their macro goals for the day.
-
I like Chinese food..... But it doesn't like me.... :frown: hehe, anyone remember those commercials from the 70's? Tiny spicy chicken, nachos, egg rolls...these are all anti-body recomp foods.

Nothing really revolutionary about the movie....except if you're still stuck in dinosaur mode and think the US RDA bible and other mainstream nutritional guidelines are what we should follow. He maintains a calorie deficit and combines that with a substantial amount of low-impact exercises. Health markers will almost…

Big calorie deficits and lots of activity can hurt fat loss. :smile: Sometimes people mistakenly adopt the idea that they will 'exercise off" the weight. When dieting down, it is better to reduce (not eliminate) training volume and rely on dietary control to burn off the fat.…

Here are some of your quotes from this thread.... "I just won't knowingly eat a poison, of any amount. If you want to eat it, good for you." "Here is a bottle of poison, would you eat it? What if I included a bottle of fat and protein and told you it's good for you? Would you eat it still? Now let me charge you money for…

Expensive? Interesting. A tub of Optimum Nutrition's Whey protein costs 44.99 and contains a 120 servings....each serving containing 24 grams of protein. At 37 cents per 24 grams of protein, I really can't think of a cheaper source of complete protein.
-
For people who place a high priority on meeting their macro-nutrient goals, a protein shake can help. Of course, it can also be done with so-called "real foods".... it just takes a little bit more time and effort.

I know you'll respond with your patented, "hey, it contains mercury, but if you want to eat it, go ahead! Eat away!" response, but this thread is more about your trying to validate your own feelings on mercury with positive affirmations from us instead of you just simply stating that you don't eat seafood. Seriously, ease…

I would make fresh cuts of meat and non-starchy fibrous veggies the foundation of your daily eating plan. Everything after that would be partially dependent on how active you are or what your training routine is like.

Most fruits do not have a high amount of fructose. On average, most fruits have between 5-7grams of fructose per 100 gram serving. There are different types of sugars in fruits as well as other foods.
