Meat only dieters
I'm thinking about trying a meat only diet to help me get my six pack. I guess technically a few other things are allowable like butter and cream but a 30 day meat cleanse (lol) is just meat and water. Does anyone ever do meat only diets? Besides Goat, I know he's pretty into this type of eating. Is the key to not feeling…

Help out a fellow MFP user
Hey fam, I've been using MFP for years. I'm also a musician & rapper. I need your help! My new song "Heaven on Earth" is a great jam for '90s hip-hop fans & it's a free download. I'm doing a promo campaign for it through Thunderclap (I recommend it for musicians & artists to use that site) & I need 30 more supporters by…

Any evidence that expired creatine is less effective?
I've googled around trying to get a clear answer on efficacy of creatine consumed past its expiration date, but no clear answers. Has anyone seen actual results/studies clearly showing that expired creatine is less effective than non-expired creatine? Thanks.

dairy
I haven't seen many people mention cutting out dairy, but wondering if anyone has experienced trouble with weight loss, bloating, or anything else negative due to dairy. I'm pretty sure I've read in other non-low carb diet articles about cutting out dairy and that helping with stuff. I probably average 1-2 tblspns heavy…

any effect of bcaa's and PWO drink on keto
I would assume not, but wondered if anyone had info. Just BCAA's and a 0 cal/carb/anything pre-workout drink for some fasted exercise. Would those negate any awesome keto fat-adapting effects of fasted exercise? They're not supposed to kick you out of a fasted state if you're on a more normal diet. Normal meaning not very…

do any of you always eat the same things for simplicity?
wondering if anyone goes for pure simplicity with their diet and either ignores or doesn't have cravings for diversity in their diet - roughly eating the same things day in and day out? I know one guy on here said he's eaten the same breakfast for the last 10 years. my guess is women and people with families would be less…

Keto questions
1) Net carbs or full carb count needs to be under 25? I find this one boggling, like how do you know that you're not throwing yourself out of keto if you count net carbs. 2) Fiber? I assume by counting net carbs you will get enough fiber, but if not counting net carbs I'm wondering if that would cause any issue. I'm not…

Losing the last 5-10 lbs
Not to rub it in anyone's face, but I'm pretty naturally skinny all over my body and just want to get rid of my muffin top. Also don't want to contribute to the skinny fat phenomenon, which I could easily do just eating whatever I want for the next few years. But, wanting to hear from anyone who has been overweight and…

Does MFP allow for different calorie/macro goals on different days?
Hi all, I'm entering a bulk phase soon but want to modify my bulk a bit. On weight training days, I'm planning to eat at a surplus. On non training days, I'm considering eating more at maintenance level. Since this will then change my goals for MFP, is it possible to use different goals on different days without MFP…

This would be the carb binge phase
Have been feeling drained the past couple of days. Noticed my energy lacking in my workouts. I think I have exercised too much and need more rest now, but also I feel under-fueled. I can't figure out exactly what's going on because even after 20-30 g carbs before exercising I just felt drained trying to do my reps. I've…

Has anyone bulked on LC?
Might be a strange question, but maybe someone here has experience with LC while at a surplus instead of at a deficit. All of the thread arguments in the main forums are just arguments about LC vs CICO for weight loss...but what about for gaining? Have any of you bulked on LC or keto? I ask because I'm wondering just how…

Stomach/gas issues since going LC?
I'm wondering if anyone knows what's up with some ...gas I've been having. I switched to 100 g carbs total for the day maybe a week and a half ago, but since then I've had 2 nights of really bad, stinky gas. Like, hours, the whole evening. Tonight would be a 3rd night except it's not even close to being as bad. Admittedly…

Impact on thyroid?
Glanced around for some info on effects of low carb diet and read about how it can negatively impact thyroid function and increase adrenal stress (causing additional cortisol). Any thoughts from you guys? Please note, I'm not attacking anything and I'm currently consuming under 100 carbs. Just looking for thoughts and…

Could a woman under 5'10" dunk a basketball?
I know it's an odd question, but I'm curious. Without a doubt, tall women can dunk. Lisa Leslie, Candace Parker, Brittney Griner etc...but I believe they're all over 6 ft or right on it. On the men's side, guys as small/short as 5'3" (Muggsy Bogues!) have been able to dunk. Plenty of other 5'5" and 5'7" dudes have come…

Slow/quick Progress with Push-Ups
I'd like to hear from people how quickly or slowly they were able to progress with the amount of push-ups they can do & any info related to their routine. I get the feeling that it's a bit of a slow progress. Would help to hear more from people who could only do a few push-ups at most when they were starting out. Also, as…

diiodo-l-thyronine
Anyone had success with this supplement? I'm using ThyroTwin by Giant Sports for the first time today. Contains 3,5 & 3,3 DLT. I'm also skinny except for a few pounds of belly fat and love handles, which is basically what I'm trying to get rid of. May work well on people like me. Just took a pre-workout (Ripped Freak) and…

Why am I so sore after lifting?
Consuming about 100g protein daily (I'm female about 132 lbs) - have read in multiple sources that protein helps with soreness. Also taking creatine, beta alanine, and ZMA. I skip around on taking them so they're not as regular as the supplement bottles suggest. Mostly take 5g creatine every day, maybe average about half…

High carb but LOW sugar protein bars?
Gaining but find it hard to reach my MyFitnessPal sugar goals. I can only have 80-90 grams or something, so it's hard to not go over that threshold. Anyone know protein bars that taste ok with 10g sugar or less and moderate or less fat?

Best tasting breakfast/protein/snack bar with high protein and low sugar (under 15g)
I'm gaining as I lift weights in my workouts - it's really hard to maintain my MyFitnessPal daily goals for sugar, I always go over. The bars I eat for breakfast or when I really need a snack usually have over 15 grams of sugar (Clif Bar, Larabar etc). I had the Think Thin brand bars for awhile because they use a sugar…

Cutting after bulking?
So I've never been in a position to cut, mainly because I've never bulked up, which is my big goal right now. I'm weight training and eating at a surplus and all. I've never weighed more than 130 lbs, I'm at about 5'8" and I'm female. Not really worried about the body fat percentage thing, I think bulking and gaining…

Fellow weight gainers let's connect
Hey what's up, I'm a skinny chick with thin arms, so I'm trying to gain a few pounds while also working out with mainly a weight lifting and strength workout. I'm just trying to look and feel more athletic, because I really love basketball and want to get back into playing it. If your goals are similar, it would be great…

How many calories burned from weight training?
Just added some sets on MFP from my workout today, but the program doesn't account for calories burned while lifting, only from cardio. I know it's not a ton but I'm trying to gain so I want to try to account for those calories I burned. Maybe 5 calories per set?

For people trying to gain weight
Not sure where to put this post...for people who are gaining weight, what do y'all do when you are away from home, have to go out-of-town, whatever the reason is...do you just bring a whole bunch of food with you wherever you go? Do you bring your blender and all your smoothie materials everywhere (if you drink…

Skinny athlete!
I'm a pretty skinny girl, always been into sports (specifically basketball). Wanting to start some intense physical training and be a competitive basketball player, but need to get some more muscle or just mass in general. I burn calories insanely quickly or something. So...trying to gain a few pounds before starting a new…
