What would be your biggest problems with your nutrition?

[CoachTiger]

Hey there, I'm Robert and I'm an Online Coach for weight loss.
Don't worry I'm not here to sell you anything I'm just doing a little research to further help my clients regarding the subject.

I try to make the lives of young men easier when it comes to weight-loss. Hence, I have these two super simple questions:

1. What are the 2 biggest issues you are having when it comes to weight-loss and nutrition?
2. regarding your food, nutrition, diet, weight loss, your weight, staying fit - what do you wish for more than anything else?

Thanks in advance, looking forward to reading your comments

For me (when I just started) was:

1. I didn't know what to do and how to start the process.
2. Get an aesthetic physique that I could be comfortable and proud of. Also, maintain it in the long run.

Have a nice week

1. Hunger and social events/eating out
2. Crushing my enemies

1. Hunger and social events/eating out

In your case is it not enough hunger? This has always been an issue for me/eating out.

[yoojungl]

My current struggle is meeting my protein intake for the day and making sure to get enough fiber in my diet as well

[Andrew578]

my overall relationship with food and fear of gaining weight

[Budjola]

1. not enough pizza
2. not enough pizza

Precisely!

If I’m distracted or active, depending on the type, I just don’t have it.

This is my issue. If I'm engaged in doing something or busy in any way, my appetite completely disappears. The more stressed and/or excited I am, the less hungry I am. I'm the complete opposite of a stress eater.

[Yakery]

1) Buying fast food since I'm lazy and don't want to make food
2) I'm trying to gain weight an I'm not eating enough

[jademonkey]

Not currently cutting, but when I was:
1) Hunger. Obviously. I don't understand how this isn't the only answer. I mean why eat if not hungry?!? Solved that by just waiting til lunch/late breakfast before eating. Was still hungry but got most of the hunger out of the way early.
2) I don't really wish for much having always been fit naturally. I guess the main one would be I wish for less beer cravings in the evening!

This is why I have to be very cognizant if I’m out golfing, or super busy with work, because I can forget about how hungry I am until I sit and relax for 20-30min.

I think perhaps there is an aspect to my sympathetic nervous system that tones down hunger... perhaps it is the opposite with stress eaters where it ramps up.

Once I’m in the parasympathetic state again, it comes on like crazy.

[snailsrus]

For me as a women:
1. Remembering to take time to eat, and not skipping meals because on the go and busy and I hate eating fast or supplementing, even more so when I travel and I travel a lot

2. Feeling guilty for spending money on quietly food and taking time away from the family to prep it

For the hubbie

1. Stress and time management, sleeping in because he goes to work super early and grabbing something with out protein for breakfast and not trying because to tried

2. Work makes it hard to meal prep, he never knows if he can make it back to his truck to get a packed lunch and some work sites don’t allow food/ we live in the middle of nowhere and going to the store can be a pain because it’s a 30 min tire drive each way and we both are busy with work and stuff for at least 12 hours a day, often I find a uneaten lunch I packed with snacks and fast food boxes

[allthevitamins]

Getting enough vitamin E through diet alone.

Consistently hitting a great omega 3 to omega 6 ratio.

Hitting 5 protein rich meals with even spacing throughout the day. Sometimes it's 3 or 4, sometimes I accidentally fast, sometimes I eat at strange times during the night or early morning.

Sometimes my cholesterol intake for the day is too high for my liking. I don't buy the pre-cursor theory of more cholesterol leading to more testosterone.

I wish my diet was richer in nitrates and vascularity friendly foods. It's pretty good, but I always want more.

On some days, my zinc intake could be higher through food, but I supplement a few times a week with a multi or zinc tablets anyway.

Sometimes my trans fat intake could be lower. I'm talking about natural trans fats, yes it should be as low as possible. Full fat dairy=trans fats, fatty meat=trans fats, fried food=trans fats in a lot of cases.

Aiming to increase bean intake again as well.

Aiming to increase complex carbs in the form of sorghum, quinoa, oatmeal, beans, potatoes, etc. I eat fruit for over half of my carbs and wondering if having things like oatmeal primarily will lead to better pumps or more even energy levels.

Aiming to reduce coffee consumption and cut it out earlier in the day to improve sleep quality. I am all for the appetite suppression, but I think a lot of benefits are negated if sleep is impacted. Additionally have been drinking chamomile tea after sundown to increase chance of sleepiness and retiring early for the day.

1) Suppressing the appetite of a grizzly bear.
2) To keep the weight off that I lost.
