Biggest nutrition myths or misconceptions....

If you don't consume a slow digesting protein before bed, you will melt

Eating at, around or below you're BMR is safe.

All the poor women of the world causing their minds bodies and minds tons of stress.

Honestly everyone's body reacts differently to different foods, i would say do some testing of your own to figure out what works for your body and lifestyle. One thing i have learned from trying to gain muscle, its a lot of trial and error till you find the perfect formula for your body

The food pyramid.

Oh... don't get me started. Things upside down!

Fructose can be pretty bad.

Why don't we make that 'high fructose corn syrup'. I think everything though can be used for good. It's in knowing how to use it. Less dogma. More logic.

Ha, some cottage cheese or casein protein right before bed? I think that one has finally started to go away....I hope.

1. That you must eat small frequent meals to stoke metabolism.

2. That whole grains, soy, brown rice, peanuts, and corn products are good for you.

3. That only some people are allergic to gluten.

4. If you fast for 16 hours you will lose muscle.

5. That carbs are something you need.

6. That Keto is only for the super fat who want to lose weight eating only cheese and beef sticks.

7. That type II diabetes is a real thing and not a result of your carb heavy/calorie heavy diet.

But the UNDISPUTED WINNER would be "THAT FAT MAKES YOU FAT"

PWO nutrition is by and large the most propagated myth on the planet.

Overheard a skinny guy at the gym the other day saying he was confused on why he wasn't gaining. "I drink my shake before and after I train. Why am I not seeing any gains?"

[Nara22]

How people act like protein shakes are some sort of super food that gets you "ripped" or "toned" overnight - "If you don't take them as soon as you finish your workout, all that potential muscle will be lost!"

It's always the first question when you say you lift: "Do you take protein shakes?"

"I weigh 120 lb so I need 250g of protein a day."

Or "Too much fat makes you fat."

Eat 5-7 small meals per day to stoke the metabolic fire.

Bull.

"If I take cutting pills I'll look shredded for the summer without changing my diet"

"I haven't been putting on mass for months, I don't know why, I take my PWO shake"

"Why aren't I losing weight? I run 2k per day, workout 5 days/week, and I eat clean"
