Forum: Nutrition Misc

I am a week out from competition and 5 lbs over. Never cut weight before (thank you coach for deciding now to drop me a weight class). What foods should I be eating? Also I am a woman and I've noticed that cutting weight is a little harder for us. Thoughts greatly appreciated :)

So I've been going to the gym, pounding the weights and I have most definitely got progressively stronger, I even make sure to drink my protein shake right after my workout but I am still not gaining much weight. I started out two months ago at around 160lb and I'm now at 163 lb, and my body fat...

Over the years I've seen Youtube videos recommending against normal bread for muscle gains. It contains a decent amount of protein, and the fibre from multi grain is good for you. Why is it considered bad to eat for gains? If you are eating it for lunch and you workout between breakfast and...

Heyy all, It's been a while since ive posted here. Anyway nutrition is probably the closest to a relevant subject as I could find, please move if not. I have been getting back into training recently and making some steady gains thanks to muscle memory. After a few months of training im...

I feel like more carb rich foods make me hungrier while pretty much the opposite can be said about fats and oils. Pork for instance, as a high fat food, I will have a craving for it, but if I eat that instead of chicken then I feel somewhat bloated after. Is it true that fiber elicits satiety? I...

I've discovered that cinnamon is very high in antioxidants and is supposed to be very healthy. Doesn't cost much either. Just 95 cents for a small container at Aldi. But now I've been reading that it's not all that safe, especially the variety that is most commonly available, which is the Cassia...

When I make Macaroni and Cheese (from a box), the recipe calls for 1/4 cup of butter or margarine. I've been using a half stick of the Imperial spread: ...

Anybody interested in a turn-key, high profit margin opportunity?

It doesn't show the nutritional information, only the ingredients. While my main source of carbs is rice, I often have a hard time making myself eat enough. I love this stuff and could down a whole loaf of sourdough a day but I've never heard it mentioned in bodybuilding talk. Is it something to...

When I was 16.5 I was overweight(just had too much fat), so i cut down from 155 to 125 over the next 6 months. Apparently I'm still on track with my growth, but afraid I missed out on dem height gains. Trying to cut again at 18 going on 19 and 6'0-6'1, and I'm afraid guys. Have some chin and neck...

I really want to take some of the recipes I have had from over the years that do not have any serving size, replace unhealthy ingredients with healthier ones, and portion it out accordingly. I am quite new to meal prepping and am feeling a bit overwhelmed with this. I would appreciate any advice...

Hey guys I'm 19yo 6'5" and 149lbs I keep losing weight and I don't know what to do any suggestions? I also dont have a lot of money to spend on food

I can slam a 16 ounce energy drink per day. Sometimes I can drink 2-3 (16) ounce drinks in a day. Is there a noticeable problem that might occur over a few months or a year? Im trying to curb my obsession and go to about 2 drinks per week. Any input on problems that might happen from drinking one...

So I have been weight training on my own since April of this year and I have noticed that I have definitely gained muscle from going from 95 on bench to now currently 165 for 3x5. But counting my calories I noticed I am not nearly eating enough to satisfy the needs that my body needs to build...

Hey guys. Was just just hoping to gain some insight from those of you that have successfully leaned out using IIFYM compared to cutting by eating clean and whole foods. A few or more years ago when I was attempting to do either a bikini or figure competition, I was introduced to IIFYM. I had...

My question is, as I gain weight over the course of my bulk should i recalculate my maintenance calories in relation to my new weight and up...

Hey everyone I am looking for a low-calorie sauce for white rice, i don't like soy and just want something to make it less dry, any advice? Thanks

I recently switched to a bulking diet, and I noticed that my fiber levels went WAY up, almost between 120-160 a day. This is mostly because I always opt for the whole grain items, I like my wheat products, and I absolutely pile on the fruit and vegetables. Plus, I just seem to really enjoy foods...

So I follow this guy on Snapchat, the dude is lean and ripped, you can’t denie that. I’ve been stalling and was curious what he had to say so I paid for a 1 month one on one private coaching. Few things that threw me off which make me think wtf? Is someone else on the end of his emails and phone? ...
