HOOOOW to make apple cider vinegar drinkable?
I've heard a lot of health benefits of apple cider vinegar but WOW does it taste awful. I tried mixing a few tbsps with a cup of water and plugging my nose to drink it but nearly vomited. I'm thinking of trying some tomorrow with water, lemon juice and splenda, but I'm not sure even that will be okay. Any suggestions?…

Too much water at a time?
I drink a ton of water throughout the day, sometimes I'll even just quickly gulp down 2 or 3 cups at once just to make sure I drink a ton of it. Recently a friend told me that it's useless to drink more than a cup of water per hour, as your body can't actually use anymore than that and all you'll do it pee it out, and it…

I've heard lots of great things about Bragg's organic, raw, unfiltered apple cider vinegar so I decided to buy some, but I'm wondering how much of it I should drink a day? I've mostly read a couple tablespoons, do you guys agree with this?

Do sore muscles always mean a good workout, vice versa?
Basically what I'm asking is when doing weights, if you're sore the next day does that always mean you did a really effective workout? And if you aren't sore the next day, does that always mean you didn't go hard enough?

How often should you work the same muscle?
Does it matter which days you work which muscles? For example, if I have a muscle I'm really trying to grow (at the moment its legs and glutes) sometimes I work them two days in a row, or at least a few times a week, but I've heard from some people you shouldn't do this. I'm wondering why? Wouldn't it make the muscle grow…

Does a cheat meal once a week hinder weightloss?
I know that to lose weight you need to be in a calorie deficit, basically -3500 cals a week for a lb. I usually have a cheat meal once a week, but I feel like all my progress from the week goes down the drain since I'm ingesting so many additional calories. Granted, I have lost a lot of weight, but very slowly. So I'm…

Are pre workouts worth it?
A lot of times I struggle finding the energy to workout. If I drink a coffee or take a caffeine pill beforehand it usually helps, but I'm wondering if I should consider a preworkout drink. I know they're expensive though - would it really give me a boost better than a caffeine pill or coffee? And I do cardio as well as…

Hurt leg doing squats?? help:)
I've been weight lifting for a decent amount of time now but I just started squatting with actual weights a couple weeks ago. I hold a free weight in my hands infront of my chest and squat. All was well until about a week ago my outer calf on my right leg started hurting whenever I squat? It only happens on the one leg.…

Different ways to eat Quest Bars
I've been wanting to try quest bars for months, and a nutrition store in my city FINALLY started selling them! I bought a few but I'm wondering what some fun ways to eat them are besides the standard eating them in regular bar form. I know you can microwave them for a bit for make them warm and goo-ey, or you can crumble…

What should I eat before an early morning run
I'm not sure if I should post this here or under food and nutrition, so I'll probably post it in both places. Anyways, I love outdoor running, but I usually do it in the afternoon or night, after I've been eating all day. But I wanna wake up early tomorrow morning and go for a morning run. I don't want to eat a full meal…

Almond butter vs. peanut butter?
It seems a lot of people who are into fitness are obsessed with almond butter, a lot of the time it seems preferred over peanut butter. I personally think almond butter doesn't even taste that good, especially compared to peanut butter, so what's so amazing about almond butter? Does it have more protein or something?…

How often after working out should I eat?
I do both cardio and weightlifting. When I'm finished I immediately eat whey protein. I don't make a full on protein shake, I usually just mix it with some water and make a thick, gooey sludge (honestly delicious) but sometimes I'm not even hungry until an hour or so after my workout. Should I force myself to eat…
