Does anyone here happen to smoke and weight lift or just work out in general? I've never been addicted to smoking, though I used to smoke socially about a year ago. I've stopped and today I had a couple cigarettes because it was just that "moment". I don't plan on smoking again anyway. But how does smoking affect working…

So, i've been on a strict diet for about 5 to 6 months. Great progress during that time period. Managed a weight loss of 65 lbs. Sometimes, I suppose you can say that I am "craving" a particular food. Yes, it would be great to have it as a "cheat" meal. However, I am a sucker for food so if I am going to eat, I am going to…

They're only 280 calories, high in carbs, and VERY high in sodium.. 1300 to be specific. Is it okay to eat a couple packages until I go grocery shopping? I never eat fast food or…

Peanuts
I am a huge fan of peanuts. I was wondering if it's healthy if I were to eat peanuts all day long ago not exceed my daily macros while getting in all the fats, carbs, and protein. I mean it's pretty healthy, but I was just curious. That's all.

According to them: Where do the sugars/carbohydrates on the label come from? Real fruit contains fructose (a type of sugar), and carbohydrates, and since…

Snack before bed!
How's it going everyone? I just recently got off a cut and am now currently on a bulking diet. I don't usually like to take casein protein at night before bed. However, I will only take it if I don't have anything else to eat. As most of us know, cottage cheese before bed is great because it has a great source of protein…

What's a good coffee?
I really never drank coffee before and I was curious to see what's your favorite coffee? I want something that has good caffeine in it to help me get through the day. I might even use that as a pre-work out drink as well. Something healthy and possibly tasty? Thanks!
