If eating 100-200 lbs above maintenance isn't working for you, try bumping it up to 300-400. If you're lifting and hitting the right macros, you'll be fine (considering you're...
Probably not. The primary beneficial elements in red wine are antioxidants and resveratrol, which I wouldn't imagine are in vodka. Some scientists think that the same or similar compounds might be...
Are you saying that the milk itself would be close to 1k cals? How big are your glasses? 2 cups of whole milk (a big glass in my household) is less than 300 calories total...
You may want to try out some software that does most of the work for you, as far as recording what you eat and keeping track of nutritional values. I personally recommend either FitDay or DietPower,...
I'd hate for you to feel like people are looking down on you, so I'll inform you that recent research has shown that meal timing and pre/post-workout nutrition are negligible factors towards your...
Take a quality multivitamin, and this question becomes (theoretically) irrelevant. Eat what you like, just less of it. Check the stickies for guidance on adjusting your kcal intake.
Wow, someone who isn't just kicking the door down to this section and proclaiming that all we've ever known was wrong, they're right, and everyone else is stupid for not agreeing with their...
Most surprising, way back when I first learned about counting calories and started doing it (16 y.o. or something), ranch dressing. Mind = blown. It was real tough getting used to eating salads with...
That's what it looks like, to me at least. In the absence of good, relevant studies, it seemed like a sensible number. From what I've been reading recently, it seems like 1.2g - 1.9g of protein per...
I would just sleep in and eat one or two big meals after 6 PM. Late carbs don't automagically turn to fat. The only problem might be hunger if you're not accustomed to IF or something, but, well,...
Your body will not store fat at a caloric deficit. Currently accepted is that the body loses 1 lb per 3500 calories lost via deficit (this has been debated, but seems to at least be approximate)....
It sounds as if you're implying that all calories from alcohol result in weight gain. This is not true. If you consume 1,500 kcals a day in alcohol and, say, 2,000 kcals a day in food, and your body...
Ok I guess I should add more detail. What I do (did) is use the stickies to figure out my BMR + activity factor, TDEE, etc... I then figure out my protein and fat macro minimums, and use carbs as a...
