Is My Cat Orthorexic?
He used to eat whatever food we put in his bowl, but lately he's getting picky... first he just turned his nose up at the regular cat food - friskies... that was no big deal because I just kept trying different foods figuring we'd find something he likes... but then it just kept getting worse and worse to the point where…

Gaining vs Exercise
Aight so this is my new favorite section of these forums, as I'm 5'7 and probably just shy of 130 right now. I've been trying to build muscle for the last year+, but have been off the wagon for a while. That said, when I was really going hard, I put on about 8 pounds in 6 months, which was great, but my question is, with…

My Pizza Day Experiment - A Comparison
I did a little experiment yesterday to see what would happen if I ate a ton of pizza, but still stayed within my calorie limit and mostly within my macros. I'll admit I did go over on carbs, but I already have my carbs set at a very low 25%, so even when I'm eating clean, I don't really worry about going over on them. So…

Bulking While Eating "Clean" - Need Advice
Alright well apparently karma decided to smack me a new one. (Magerum you're gonna love this) Had a meeting with my agent today (I'm an actor) and he told me that even though my body looks great, all the eating well and exercising has leaned out my face, and it's confusing for casting directors when they want me to be…

Best Fitness Tracking Product
What's your favorite? Fitbit? Jawbone UP? Nike ... whatever it is? I'm in the market for a HRM, but I was wondering if I should blow the $$ on just a HRM or if I should do one of the all-in-one fitness trackers that syncs to your phone/computer/etc... Thoughts?

Chicken Hearts
What should I do with 'em? Just bought a ****load of 'em because... well... I saw them at the store and they only cost like $2.50 Kali Ma and all that. :smile:

You Should Study Nutrition - The Other Perspective
...even professionals are leading you in the wrong direction. Learning about proper nutrition will save you a lot of wasted time and you'll get to your goals faster. When I take on clients I make them do ridiculous amounts of research. Its not enough for me to just summarize things to them. People always end up trying to…

New Study: Processed Meats
Because we need another mega-thread today. this is my new favorite study, just published a couple days ago: http://www.biomedcentral.com/1741-7015/11/63 "One of the largest studies to address this question, published online March 7 in BMC Medicine, found a moderate positive association between processed meat consumption…

An Argument Against Fast Food
Before you flame without reading the post, please keep in mind that while I have not listed the sources, Brendan Brazier, top triathlete and nutritional specialist lists ALL his sources in his book (Thrive: The Vegan Nutrition Guide to Optimal Performance in Sports and Life). It would take pages to list them all here. I'm…

Vegan Protein beyond Tofu
So I managed to eat 3,200 calories today - entirely vegan. I'm not quite ready to go all the way, so I'll probably do something along the lines of weekday veganism to see how it goes and see if I really do see the benefits I'm expecting. Question is this. I dig tofu, and it works for me, but what other readily available…

You Can Not Quit.
Why shouldn't you quit? It's as simple as this: American life expectancy is now lower than 27 other countries in the world. We are killing themselves with our food and our laziness - but the good news is that people like you and me are doing something about it. Congratulate yourselves for being a part of the solution. But…

Les Mills Combat - 60 Day Challenge Starting 1/21/13
If you haven't heard about it yet, this is a brand new program that just came out in late December, and it's entirely MMA (Mixed Martial Arts) inspired. It is just ridiculously fun. I am LOVING it so far. Doesn't even feel like working out! Check out this video and see if it's something you might be into:…

The 3 %
My resolution this year is to work out at least 260 days this year. That's an average of 5 days a week. If I work out ONE hour a day, 5 days a week, that's 260 hours out of the 8760 hours we have every year. Does that sound like a lot? Well guess what? That all boils down to just 3% of my time. THREE PERCENT! Can you spare…

My 7 Month Transformation!
P90X. The Asylum. Body Beast. I love Beachbody programs, and I'm a Coach - I'm not gonna beat around the bush. But I'm not some brainwashed drone. Far from it. I dig the programs purely because they WORK. Anyone who claims otherwise gave up and quit without finishing. Anyway, enough of THAT. lol here's my story. I'm a…

THROW AWAY THE SCALE!
Hey everyone - I'm new here, but I wanted to throw this out there for you all to think about. I've been coaching people with their fitness goals for some time now, and one of the most common complaints I hear is "I'm working so hard but I'm not losing any weight!" or even worse "I'm gaining weight!" Almost ALWAYS, this is…

Hi from NYC!
I've been using MFP for a while, but just found these boards today - how awesome! My name's Andrew, and I'm a small guy. 5'7" 135 pounds. Was 125 a few months ago, but I've been working to gain size and it's been going great! I know that's not what you all wanna hear, but listen, whether we want to lose weight or gain…
