Lactose Free Protein Shake
Apparently, I am lactose intolerant (or at least that is my doctor's suspicion). I have been told to eliminate dairy for a month. I did some quick research on whey protein shakes and apparently it can still have lactose in it even though it's a lot less than milk. What is a good alternative to whey protein shakes? I'm…

Help with Bulking
I want to start bulking during the winter. Preferably, I would like to do a "clean" bulk. Not looking to get huge, but I want to put on a minimum of 2-3 lbs of lean mass by the end of February. My ultimate goal is to do a bulk/cut over the next year or so to increase muscle definition and reduce body fat. Here are my stats…

New World Record at Berlin Marathon
Dennis Kimetto broke the world record with a blazing fast 02:02:57 finishing time at the Berlin Marathon yesterday. Looks like the possibility of someone breaking 2 hours is more likely now.

Muscle, fat, density, weight, mass...oh my!
As a mechanical engineer, I find it upsetting the lack of understanding in basic scientific principles on the forums. I know people are just going to say "get over it" or "what's the big deal?" However, if people do not understand basic science then the perpetuation of fads, misinformation and outright lies in the fitness…

Catobolic vs. Anabolic
This is a general thread about catabolism and anabolism. I've done research on the topic and I get the general concept (even know the actual chemistry behind can be complicated). However, how does it apply practically to bulking and cutting routines and/or recompostiion. For example, people say that if you lift while in a…

Football ('Merican) Safety

Prilosec/PPIs and Magnesium Deficiencies?
Has anyone heard of this? I am concerned because I've been on some sort of protein pump inhibitor (i.e. Nexium, Prilosec) to treat GERD for several years. All the doctors I've had said that PPIs have very few side effects and are very safe. Low magnesium is no joke! http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23325090 (seems only…

Thermic Effect Studies??
I am struggling to find studies done comparing curbing weight gain through increasing thermic effect alone (i.e. eating more protein, Atkins) vs. reducing overall caloric intake and/or increasing activity (i.e. eat less, move more). I remember one that looks at the Atkins' diet specifically, but forgot who did it. Not…

Carbo Loading
I am running a Tough Mudder on Sunday and I plan on running a half-marathon later this year. I've been doing some research on carbo loading. One website (Runners world) said I should eat 500-600 grams of carbs per day for the 3 days prior to the event. That seems like a lot. I only ate 350 grams yesterday and it felt like…
