Carb cycling diet
So I started a carb cycle diet to get my body fat just a tad bit lower to around 10%. Currently 16%. But my question is people who have done this before what is your method to keeping you carbs low? My current goal is 80 grams of carbs (half of my total body weight 160)but that quickly goes up for me as I like to eat fruit…

Carb Cycling Question
So I just recently started to do a carb cycling program and was wondering if I should count fruit and vegetables towards my carb count for the day. I've read that I should only count complex starches and also read that carbs are carbs and another article stated that I should subtract my total fibers for the day from the…

My cholesterol results
So I recently went in for some blood work and just got my results back. I think overall it's good but seems like my LDL is on the high end but I eat only cooked meals and maybe once or twice a month of eating out at a restaurant and that's usually consisted of fish. What is your guys take on my results? Any feed back is…

BCAA
I was wondering if BCAA supplements were really needed in my daily supplements. I was taking them only during my workout days for about two months and didn't see any physical difference for me. I do take whey protein daily three times a day so was wondering if that was enough to get my BCAA's.

Herbalife
So does anyone take this? I have a friend who swears by their product but to me it's waaayyy to expensive for what it's worth. I can get whey protein for about $35 but through them it's like $90! I can get my creatine around $12 but through them it's $40 for the same amount. They say there stuff is pure and clean but it…

Is too much protein bad for you?
So was browsing around the internet and came across a blog that stated that it was bad to have too much protein (it was a vegan blog, and no I'm not vegan or vegetarian) they recommended that it should be no more than 0.4g per body weight even if you're working out to be a body builder. But I have fitness books that…

Eggs
So I have friend who said I shouldn't be eating eggs because of the yolk. I eat about two to three hard boiled eggs through out the day and he always says that I shouldn't be eating such a high cholesterol food and find something else because they are better foods instead. Will it be better to find something else or just…

Extra protein = fat?
So I've been hitting my daily protein count consistently the last couple weeks with a lower calorie count. My question is if I over do a higher protein intake without changing too much of my calorie count will it still make me fat? For example a extra protein shake or lean meats without increasing my calorie intake by too…

Protein powder
I have a question about protein powders. I usually just take post workout protein on the days that I lift which is 3-4 times a week within a hour I'm done. My question is do I need to be taking protein on my off days as well?
