My meal plan has me eating two meals w 55g protein. Been told by some that the body can only absorb 35g and the rest goes to waste, and others say that’s a myth and it just takes longer to process 55g. I’m doing intermittent fasting, two meals w 55g of protein each meal (plus other macros). So...

Thanks for reading and responding if you're willing to help. So I used to workout like crazy but I stopped about 3 years ago when I started heavily abusing alcohol and I've been back in the gym for a month or so now trying to lose the weight I gained and get back to a good body shape. I'm...

I'm going to start lifting soon. For now I'm just going to focus on the main lifts. I'm not sure how fast I should gain weight. I want to get my lifting numbers up, but despite my low bodyweight I have kind of a large belly. If I gain weight too fast to get my numbers up I'm worried I'll just end...

Hello, I'm thinking of double majoring in Nutrition & Food Sciences and Business Management. I would love to become a dietician in the hospital setting and work in the fitness industry on the side. My introduction to management professor really sees something special in me, I must listen to...

Hello all, I am looking for advice regarding my diet. I have been doing what I would consider a clean bulk for about a month now, and I have been making decent gains. My diet has been fairly consistent revolving around three meals a day ranging from 600-900 calories each, resulting in...

Is dirty bulking really a thing? My brother(18, ~180 lbs) will goto the gym and do strength training for about an hour and then come home and eat an entire hershey’s cookie pie from pizza hut in a few hours (1596 calories, 71g fat, 36g saturated fat, 207g carbs, 143g sugar, 80 mg cholesterol and...

Does anyone know where I can find a thorough and accurate spreadsheet with common foods and nutritional facts (macros, calories, fibers, etc.)? I'm looking for either a Google docs spreadsheet or Excel. Either would work just fine! Thanks!

I've been recently eating Cream of Rice before the gym because it's a fast digesting food and almost all carbs and I was curious if you can make your own cream of rice? And by that I mean to make just like the Instant Cream of Rice, just pour water/milk over and it's good to go. I know you can...

Distal Clavicular Osteolysis..aka "Weight lifter's shoulder" my AC Joint has opened up and the bones are wearing out faster than they can re-generate in a nutshell. Been dealing with this since last October....had a Cortisone shot back In January and it helped..but only for a month..physiotherapy 3...

A family member and diver co-worker of mine mentioned to me one day that he had heard that the sea cucumbers that we dive for are a natural steroid. I was already aware of both the cancer and HIV research they are involved in and was interested in their regen properties but this piqued my interest...

What do you guys recommend for vitamins and supplements to get back in shape besides a clean diet.

Hey Everybody, I could use some insight. I was eating about 1,000 calories (I am a male, 5'7" 150 for reference) a day for many years now...mainly due to depression issues and lack of motivation to eat. The depression is fixed, and I would like to get my nutrition on point now. I have upped...

Here they are, all in one convenient, easy to read thread.

I have always hated cooking, the less time I can spend in the kitchen the better. I'm ashamed to say it took me until 29 to discover the holy grail that is the slow cooker, and this year the rice cooker entered. All my meat for the week is cooked in a slow cooker on Sunday, almost zero prep...

I have searched on the internet and found answers ranging from 400-900 calories in a lb of salmon. Is there a site or app that I can trust to calculate calories accurately? I currently use myfitnesspal.

Hi there and thank you in advance for clicking on my post and any help you may be able to give me. 3 months ago I started a High Protein Diet and now would like to get off, but I know it’s not just as simple to just quit the diet as if I did that and went back to my normal self I know my lab...

Just a recommendation: if you get a result that sound way off, definitely ask for a free replacement/redo. I had a bunch of things tested lasted week, and my test levels came back at 83... Zero chance I could have had that happen given 6 months ago they were ~500. Got a free test to...

4 months into carnivore diet. Ask me anything. Before and after shot. (Disclaimer: i looked similar to the after previously, i was trying out vegan and was riding a bike 20 hours now down to 8 per week for commuting to work.) https://www.instagram.com/p/BqcZp8_Fj7a/

Hello, New to BB forum just have a question about an issue plaguing me right now. Here's the story. I've been lifting for about 10 years since I was around 14. I'm 6'0" 225 lbs. From late 2017 until Feb. of 2020 I basically lifted for "maintenance" about twice a week. Starting at the...

I am having trouble figuring out the best solution. Currently taking adhd medication which is reducing appetite but still trying to get proper protein intake. Liquids seem to still go down pretty easy. Would it be okay to replace 2-3 meals with protein shakes health wise? Also slight lactose...
