Eating times
I know it's all CICO but isnt there some truth that eating let's say, a donut in the morning is better than saving it to until before bed? If you think about it, that food will fuel you and might give you extra energy to function throughout the day while, even though calories in vs calories out is true, eating it before…

I dont know if it's this but I take daily progress pics after my workouts and I look fatter but my weight is staying somewhat in the 5pound difference range. I guess on average I gained 2-3 pounds but…

Topic regarding eggs and satiating but low calorie foods
Is it just me, because people say eggs are the most filling foods but for me, even when I hardboiled eggs, they still aren't filling. I typically consume 2-3 which is average but I'm still hungry hahaha. However when I scramble them that's a whole different story. I can scarf down 12 eggs scrambled like theyre nothing I…

Regarding abdominal visibility and more

2 Questions
1). I've seen a "Freaky Eater" episode recently and the female doctor said that if you eat sugar you specifically gain fat around the midline aka stomach. Is this true? I know fat distributes itself but does sugar cause more fat to be stored in the middle? 2). Is it true that working out early in the morning boosts your…
