You can also supplement your diet with calorie dense beverages (protein shakes, meal replacement shakes, etc). But I agree with the other two posts, 1/2 cup of almonds or peanuts is ~420 calories...

Going to stick with the general trend here, with a personal twist: add liquid calories. Eat what you're eating and add more protein shakes, meal replacement shakes, non-water beverages, etc....

Didn't see either Alan Aragon or Lyle McDonald in my library's catalog, but I'll scope them out on the internet. If they look promising, I'll order them. Thanks for the suggestions!

I wouldn't take this the wrong way either Mrpb, but perhaps you could learn a lot from this website (book): http://www.emilypost.com/etiquette-18th-edition

However, your site has been noted and I...

Last few months I've been reading some diet/nutrition books. However, they tend to gloss over the details of metabolism, biochemistry, chemical structures, and synthesis. Having a strong background...

Back day (or a day in which I do a grab-bag).

My two cents: I find that quest bars don't do a heck of a lot of energy boosting, making them a mediocre pre-workout food. I prefer an apple or a handful of almonds. But, if you find yourself getting...

I would have you answer the following questions:

1. Is this something you feel you can sustain and improve upon as your summer progresses? You need to continue challenging yourself as week 1's...

Although not an expert, I have read there are lots of general benefits to a low (or lower) carbohydrate diet. Keep in mind that carbohydrates are one of the best ways to raise insulin levels in your...

Remember that abs are not simple. For most it's not as easy as "what weight do I need to be to have abs?" Yes, if you keep losing weight you eventually will see something, but that's probably not...

With regards to laxatives, they are not an effective weight loss mechanism. The weight you do lose is water weight which is incredibly dangerous if abused. As mentioned earlier in this thread,...

Shane, generally I've read that during bulking you want to hit between 1x and 1.6x g of protein per lb of mass you want to be (upon completing bulking). If you're 165lbs now (and want to be 185), you...

I think DannPM nailed it. However, I might suggest you consider investigating the source of your bloating. If it's lactose or similar problems, there are tablets (gasX, lactaid, etc.) that you can...

This is a vague question: When you ingest 7000 calories - what are you ingesting? 7000 calories of fat ~1.7lbs of food. 7000 calories of protein/carb is ~ 3.8lbs of food. Before you defecate, you'd...

@TorreTornado - Common numbers I have read typically say 1x to 1.6x grams of protein per desired body weight. So in your case I think the absolute minimum amount of protein intake you should have is...

To be honest, it's a multi-purpose question. I find it interesting that there is very little factual information on this topic... considering how much effort goes into the breakdown of other...

This has bothered/perplexed me for a long time. Do people with high levels of lactose intolerance (the inability to break down lactose, a disaccharide, into it's core monosaccharides: galactose +...

So I found the thread (30mins later)... if anyone is interested this is the 10-day shred article I was talking about:

It came out a few months ago (late 2012). I've searched the article database but I can't seem to find the right one. From what I recall it was either a 2 week or a 10 day before...

Having similar hanging-issues on the "Enter Weight", "Enter Body Fat %", etc. in the profile. When I click I get the entry box, where I can enter the new value, but when I click save (or enter),...
