Title.
I drank some sour long life almond milk that i had left on my desk for about a day and i wasnt sure if it tasted funny because i had eaten some wacky foods just before or because it was funny milk. Looking on reddit people have stories of the worst food poisoning imaginable but im also told it will be fine because i didnt drink that much. Im thinking i drank around half a cup. It obviously wasnt bad enough to the point that it was undrinkable completely so im hoping im scoring some points here...

What are the top 5 supplements known to improve eye vision the most I've heard many say lutein and zeaxanthin combined but is there anything more effective more stronger more significantly effective?

Does anyone feel better after quitting dairy?

In what way has it helped?

Hi! I am M 17 6'1 60KG. Recently started my fitness journey. I am pretty skinny :( (the reason why I started gym in first place) and wanted to know how much bulk calories should I aim for. I currently do intense 5 days 1 hr workout and want to grow optimally without gaining too much fat , but I dont mind some fat as it is neccessary.

When you have time and when you need to run out the door.

I end up eating always the same 3 things and I am bored.

Just after 2:16:16 in this video, Carlson makes an interesting observation. He interviews a lot of people, and he noticed an unusually high level of mental acuity and quick recall in these two. He used the word crisp to describe what he was observing.

What sorts of foods and nutrients help bring this quality about, or contribute to it?

What else helps, and what gets in the way?

Is there anyone who knows a lot about the CSV file organization on USDA central database? I’m a highschool student who needs helps because I don’t really understand what’s going on.

I specifically went looking for information on several Reddit subs concerning the real science behind various preferred culinary salt that people in various subs prefer for cooking or seasoning There are probably good reasons for choices but to claim superior nutritional or toxicity for choosing as we do is not well supported. I noticed there was a lot of argument, not ot of data so I went looking for real measurementsl Here for your value is what I found.

Does anyone know of a good Calcium supplement that is only Calcium without any other added vitamins like D or Magnesium? Thanks.

What are some weird supplements or ingredients that hav been known to unlock secret abilities in humans like psychic abilities or strange effects like super enhanced vision or see things that know else can? Have extreme profound dreams that are beyond our understanding??

I'm wondering what the meaning of "sodium intake" is..

For example, if it's said that the RDA for sodium intake is no more than 2300mg/day

From what I understand, nobody is going to be eating sodium in its elemental form, as that's a reactive metal. They'd be eating "it" in the form of a compound e.g. Sodium Chloride (table salt), NaCl.

There are various sodium containing compounds though.. baking soda is Sodium Bicarbonate. NaHCO₃

I'd have thought the amount of baking soda one can safely consume (and the effects on the body), is completely different to the amount of table salt one can consume?

I'm wondering if sodium intake in the sense of, somebody has consumed these various sodium containing compounds, how much sodium did they consume, is very theoretical and not relevant?

We don't speak about the Chlorine intake, from eating table salt. The Cl in NaCl is part of a compound and doesn't thave the properties of Chlorine.

So on a related note, i'm wondering if when sodium intake is spoken of, it refers specifically to the sodium chloride compound in particular, and not to sodium containing compounds in general?

And would x mass of sodium containing compound have an equally proportional impact on the sodium level in the blood?

I keep hearing this blanket statement about oils being bad (particularly seed oils) despite research that says otherwise. Even some highly educated nutrition or fitness influencers are saying this and it's part of the media now. What are people's reasoning - or how are people coming up with this conclusion? Would appreciate any short studies or information backing this claim so I can hear both sides

• I didn't expect this to spark so much debate, wanted to add: https://www.the-nutrivore.com/post/a-comprehensive-rebuttal-to-seed-oil-sophistry

If someone were to eat mostly smoothies, shakes, and very soft foods like yogurt, applesauce, etc (due to swallowing issues) would this have any long term effects?

Provided they are getting all their nutrition, calories, etc

I'm curious whether this is bad for digestive system or something

My dad is 5´8 "and a big-boned dude. He ate a lot of meat as a kid and exercised a lot. While I, at 5´7", have a weaker-looking shape than him. My wrists are smaller, and I´m just not as big. Is this difference based more on age and genetics, or did he become stronger by eating more meat in his developing years? By the way, I had a normal diet and not any nutritional deficiencies. But I didn´t straight up eat ribs every day like him.

Something with different kinds of fruits ideally. Open to everything as I’m not a picky eater.

What are your thoughts on this:

Being in a slight caloric deficit even if normal body weight?

Is this not harmful? How can this be healthy as wouldn’t we then end up burning more protein?

Thoughts?

The store I go to has a ton of options for each vitamin. Any advice on how to pick between different vitamin brands and options?

I'm currently trying to pick out a vitamin D supplement but there are so many options I'm not sure which one to get. There's different brands, and there's also other variations like IU, the form of the vitamin (gummy/spray/tablet/powder/liquid), some mention raw while others don't, some are vegan and others are not, and so on.

One example among many is seed oils. This is just an example, seed oils are not the topic of the thread — it's the broader pattern that applies to many other nutrition issues.

Depending on which study or studies you go by (even among the better, more credible studies) you can come up with different "truths" or recommendations or paths to follow.

How to resolve this?

Can anyone explain in short and sweet layman terms what “macros” are?

What is a good carb to have each morning?

I’m trying to figure out since we need so much Potassium(4700mg) daily how come I can only find supplements in stores that are 99mg but I can get Vitamin C supplements that are 1000mg and my body requires less of vitamin C as a daily dosage than Potassium. I also don’t see Potassium in expensive multi vitamins.

Also how to deal with picky eaters and get them to eat more veggies. We are vegetarian. Any advice is welcome

Ok so, from what I’ve read, sugary drinks didn’t really take over until the 1950s or so.

And now EVERYONE is drinking this stuff like it’s water. Like, how did we go from actual hydration to THIS so freaking fast??

And it’s not just the US—it’s pretty much every country out there. Seriously, what even happened??

Came across the new brand, sort of direct competitor of AG1 but IM8 disclose all their supplement dosage and details etc compared to AG1 but still unsure if it’s important to take that many different supplement or better off taking 1 or 2 that you think you’re lack of?

Sorry, bit of a wordy title. I’ve used MyNetDiary in the past but it needs a subscription or purchase to set goals for micronutrients, and even just to see them. I look on the health app for info on micronutrients but it doesn’t let me set goals for them (at least, not to my knowledge,) so I was wondering if there are any other nutrition tracking apps out there that let you do this, preferably for free or cheap?

You take your body weight in pounds and convert it to Kilograms.

Please READ this y’all! 🙂🙏

1 kilogram is bigger than 1 pound. Because 1 kilogram is actually 2.2 pounds vs 1 pound.

This is like 1 ton vs 1000 pounds…. 1 ton is still bigger because 1 ton is 2000 pounds.

So how much does the typical person weigh / goal weight, in kilograms?

100 pounds is 45.36 kilograms. 200 pounds is 90.72 kilograms

Somewhere between 45.36 kilograms and 90.72 kilograms.

NOW PROTEIN ‼️ Protein consumption should be around 0.8 to 1.2 grams PER KILOGRAM (KG) of body weight.

100 pound person / 45.36 Kg / protein between (45.36 x 0.8) and (45.36 x 1.2).

*** 100 pound person should consume between 37 grams and 55 grams. ***

Same math for 150 pounds or 200 pound goal weight. 200 pounds is 90.72 kg. So (90.72 x 0.8) and (90.72 x 1.2).

*** 200 pound person should consume between 73 grams and 109 grams ****

We are over eating. We aren’t body builders on PEDs.

Now you have more room for carbs, for more energy! Or for fats, whatever you like! And still be in a calorie deficit!

Historically I skip breakfast and usually don't eat lunch until 12-2. I know this kills my metabolism and probably is a good reason why I struggle with weight loss and usually end up in weight gain. I'm always in a calorific deficit.

I was on a low carb, low calorie diet that had me eating 5 times and I was able to lose almost 40lbs after a few months. Of course it's mostly gained back now. I struggle with eating multiple times a day to keep a metabolism up. Is there anything I can do to continue eating my usual 2 to maybe 3 times a day and just start my metabolism to get back into weight gain?

For context i am 5'9 162lbs female, working out 5× a week. Trying to lose some weight and tone up, calories intake goes around 1800-2000 depending on a day

I'm purchasing a grinder and would like to grind up almonds, peanuts etc into very small pieces/powder to sprinkle in different dishes. Are there benefits that I'd lose from eating them grinded instead of whole? Or vice versa?

I read an article the other day that claimed that vegans consume more ultra-processed foods, and, quote, "plant milks and fake meats aren't the healthy swaps consumers might assume" which surprised me.

But I assume if you check the labels to avoid preservatives or other added artificial ingredients then plant milks should be a healthy substitute for dairy. Is that correct or am I missing something?
