Do these electric muscle stimulation devices work?
Hello there guys, I was wondering if these devices really stimulate and develop your muscles? And more importantly, don't they damage them? Is it healthy? Or even worth? I would appreciate some feedback because I'm thinking about buying one for my abs 🙂 Thanks.

Curiosity: My friend never cared about his nutrition but his biceps are way more defined than mine
Approximately one year ago I got an office job where I met this colleague who turned out to be one of my closest friends. Even though we work in different teams, we often share the same breaks so we use to have lunch together. The fun fact is that he, a 1.75m (5.7 ft) guy who never really cared much about his nutrition,…

Are these "no equipment workout" apps on Play Store viable?
Anybody here who tried them and had expected results? I'm just asking because I tried one exercise, with my correct weight and height in and it calculated 273 kcal lost in only 13 min of exercise, is it possible?

Is being vegan an "excuse" for when I exceed my sugar or sodium or other levels?
I've been pretty healthy lately keeping up with my vegan regime, but I use to exceed a bit on my sugar levels and sodium (sugar because I tend to eat some vegan cookies with dates and sodium because the pea protein powder that I usually buy has around 3750 mg per 100g). My question being: even though I'm being 100% vegan…

How long until I start increasing the difficulty of my exercises?
Hello guys, After some months of trying to keep strict to my exercises and getting little to no results (for personal reasons), I decided to come up with a more fitting, flexible and disciplined abs + arms exercises that fit my routine and my needs better.

If I divide my series of exercises throughout the day will I still get the results?
I've been doing exercises for the past 2 months and I'm gradually increasing the difficulty. I do a series of different exercises resting around 30 sec between them, and after the first series, I repeat it at all again. The second repetition is becoming harder for me to do and I was wondering if I could divide them…

How often do you guys cook?
I'm on a workout/weight gain plan for the past 2 months and I've been around 3000-3100 calories per day but it's exhausting having to cook or go to the supermarket everyday. How do you guys manage your food, how often do you guys cook and do your shopping? Thanks

Is it possible to define your muscles/get "shredded" without equipment?
Let's say... No-equipment workout exercises, push ups, pull ups, abdominals... After a while, is it possible to actually develop your muscles in the long run?

Can anybody explain me this?
So, every time I see the nutrition info of a package I often have salt in account. Every time I see the salt level of a product I always calculate 40% which equals more or less the sodium that's in there. (So if the package says 1g of Salt per 100g, I suppose I'm having 400mg of sodium), but today I bought this product and…

Offtopic: Why am I always so tired?
I'm 25 years old, I'm a male. I workout every weekday for 20-30 min before work and I drink from 2L-3L of water per day. I'm a non-smoker (I was, in the past) and I have a pretty vegan healthy diet consisted mainly of peas, grains, fruits, vegetables and nuts.

Not quite reaching my macros lately but still noticing a small improvement
Hey guys, I changed countries 9 months ago. It was my first time going away, being far away from my family and living independently. It was also the first time that I had to cook for myself on a daily basis and pretty much surviving alone. Also the country that I'm in currently uses the Cyrillic alphabet, which made it a…

Difference between hydrogenated and non-hydrogenated fat?
Are they equally bad? I'm reading the back of this chocolate bar that I bought for myself and I wanted to know more about "non-hydrogenated vegetable fat". I believe it has something to do with palm oils? Also the difference between hydrogenated and NON-hydrogenated fats? Thank you!

Do you guys compensate your macros the next day if you had deficit the day before?
Like, let's say you were missing 10g of protein the day before you somehow didn't ingest, do you compensate it the next day? I've seen people claiming to do it because your daily intake should be as it is only, but I've also read other people claiming our body doesn't function in a 24h cycle so we should compensate it. How…

Is canned food worth?
Lately I've been cooking lentils as my main source of protein and I stumbled upon some ready to eat, canned lentils. When I saw the nutrition info I noticed a big difference comparing to the lentils that I've been cooking, but I also suppose it's because the gross!/net weight of already cooked lentils to raw ones is…

A question that has been bothering me for a while...
Hello guys, Hope you had a great week. This might actually be one of the most ignorant questions, but I need to be clarified just so I'll be able to insert the correct amounts on my diary. So, I bought this high protein porridge that I made. It's a 70g package and, just like on every package, the nutrition facts were on…

Is it fine if my right arm is bigger than my left arm?
I don't really mean bigger, as in something you see by the naked eye, but I'm a left-handed person and when I exercise I train both my arms evenly, and whenever I measure them (every two weeks), my right arm has about a 1.5cm difference. Is it normal? Thanks

Can't seem to be able to balance my nutrients/macros
Hello guys, I'm new here. Just created an account recently in order to start living a much healthier life than I had before, since I had to change countries recently and now I'm on my own (which means I now need to cook my own food). Besides, I also want to define some muscles on my body. I've been doing these "No…
