Hi. I was wondering if there's any significant problems eating a higher protein intake than usually recommended after hitting most other goals? I'm a male, 21, 5´8 and 150 pounds; trying to lean down a tiny bit more while resistance training. I used to be quite overweight in my teens. If I'm eating...

Been getting pretty slack 5 months into my bulk with my recipes and have been eating "bro-foods" because my cooking skills are... questionable... Just wondering if yall can share some nice budget friendly bulking recipes that don't taste like dogfood and are quick/easy to cook. Cheers

Had a blood test done with "medichecks" after seeing Steve at revive stronger recommend them! Mostly looks ok although my testosterone came back below normal (6.27nmol/l).

What are the long-term effects, if they exist, of gaining a significant amount of weight (50-60 pounds in 6-7 months), and then losing that much weight again in another 6-7 months? I would expect that things like cholesterol and blood pressure would rise short term, while you gained the weight, but...

I'm confused. I hit the gym 3 times a week, with each session lasting an hour and a half. I also run for about 30 to 40 minutes 3 times a week. I have a sedentary job. Do I multiply my BMR by 1.55 or 1.725? A different level makes a HUGE difference. Hence why I'm asking.

I'm currently eating 1,778 calories a day (macros: 178g of carbs (usually eat around 190g) 130g of protein, and 59g of fats. I feel fine, don't feel hungry, and it's a simple two big meals a day, with snacks in between, (fruits and vegetables.) I've been following these calories for 14 days. I have...

Hey everyone, I need some help / advice in how to go about preparing a diet plan, based on a TDEE of 2.5k (plus gym exercise). My long term goal is to bulk up, though I have read that it is best to cut body fat to about 10% before bulking up (is this true?). I intend to hit the gym three...

I am 18 years old and I have been lifting for two years. In the past I used to count my calories but its not easy, especially when I am busy with University etc. Literally thinking all the time about what I am going to eat in my next meal is also putting pressure on me too.. Is it possible...

After reading the sticky about calories and macros am I right in thinking all I need to do is hit my target calories for my size/weight/age so long as the min protein and fat is reached? Is it of no importance which macro fills the void? i.e. I am 197lb so need at least 137g protein and 78g...
