I am a big fan of chicken over rice from halal carts, but recently, I've been on a cut and trying to ignore the urge for it. Should I continue ignoring it or try to implement it into my diet? Please help me!!!

Also, if someone knows about the calories in it or any other alternative for it, please mention

I'm a 5'10 male with a weight of about 85 kg (fairly muscular)

Some people, i know a few, can just eat low amounts of fiber and no high fiber foods at all and have perfectly fine digestion and elimination. However, myself and others need to eat a lot of fiber otherwise we end up with constipation and other digestive issues.

Why is this? I thought that we evolved to have high fiber diets so why are some people fine without it?

Im looking to start to bulk out im 6’8 and 83kgs what diet should i start to bulk out a bit and gain muscle?

I recently took to fasting. While it’s obviously great, when I don’t eat for too long, my vision get blurred and I become cranky. Apparently this is because of “hypoglycemia”. I don’t want to use this as an excuse for me to eat more, so how do I keep my blood sugar up while fasting?

I've been thinking a lot lately about balance in life, you know? It's like this never-ending juggling act where you're trying to keep all the balls in the air without dropping any. For me, it's about finding that sweet spot between work, relationships, hobbies, and self-care. It's not easy, let me tell you! Sometimes it feels like I'm teetering on the edge of a tightrope, just hoping I don't fall off.

But here's the thing: when I do manage to strike that balance, everything just feels right. I'm more productive at work, I'm present in my relationships, and I actually have time to do the things I love. It's like I'm firing on all cylinders, you know? So, I'm curious, how do you guys find balance in your lives? Any tips or tricks you swear by?

how much grams protein for a 73 kg guy to maintain muscle who goes to gym during cutting phase?

73 kg and 5'9 height

And also how much protein is too much?I don't want to strain my kideny and cause kideny problems,so bit confused regarding how many grams of protein I should have inorder to take care of my kidney health and also to maintain muscle or built it..please let me know

Unblended food is supposed to be healthier but doesn't your food get blended before you send it down your throat (chewing). For example if eat a banana shaped like a banana by the time give it permission to enter my stomach it's appearance is far from a banana. More like a banana paste or smoothie.

So I have been lifting for a few months now but have really just started taking it serious a couple weeks ago (training to failure and applying progressive overload). Before I would half ass and just do the same weight for the same reps. I definitely feel better after workouts but I also want to dial in on my diet. I tried dirty bulking a while ago (stupid idea) and got up to about 190 (which is where I am at now). But I am more skinny fat than anything right now. Now I am confused as to whether I should cut off 10-15 pounds and then try a clean bulk or just clean bulk from my current skinny fat frame of 190 lbs. btw I am 5’10 and 19 yrs old(if that matters at all) I apologize in advance if this is a dumb question but I also would appreciate any insight.

When do you use it, especially for corrective purposes, while, of course, maintaining a healthy, calculated diet and exercise routine?"

Hey everyone, I’ve hit a point where I’m just not feeling great about myself. Currently weighing in at 80 kilos and it's really getting to me. I used to be way more active and confident, but lately, it's like I've lost that spark. I know it's time to make a change and shed some of this weight, but I could really use some advice and encouragement.

I’ve tried a few things here and there, but nothing seems to stick. Any tips on how to kickstart this weight loss journey? Maybe some workout routines or diet plans that have worked wonders for you? Also, any mental health tips for staying motivated would be much appreciated.

It's not just about the number on the scale for me; it's about feeling good in my own skin again. So, if you've been through something similar or have some wisdom to share, I’m all ears! Let's turn this frown upside down together!

Hi all, I’ve been pondering about the utility of drinking protein. I a F(24) about 52kg 168cm and gym about twice a week. I was taught in nutrition class that someone who is sedentary needs 0.8 x body weight in kg and someone who has an active lifestyle is 1.2 x “. In which both is 42g and 64g of protein respectively.

Some days I get muscle soreness from working out and was advised to drink protein. But on most days I would be able to consume the amount of protein that was calculated above.

So the question is should I be (1) taking protein shakes for recovery even if I can consume enough for a day meaning it would probably exceed the recommended amount, (2) take only when I cannot meet my protein needs for the day or (3) not take protein shakes at all..?

I am eating two meals a day to lose weight. I eat plenty of protein but in between my stomach hurts a lot. Is there a specific food I can eat that will stop the pain? And make me feel less sick? How do I stop my stomach from growling while still keeping this routine?

Hi, I'm on a weight loss journey. I had a sudden weight gain from medication and I'm off it now, I lost a ton of weight but I'm trying to lose the last bit and build more muscle.

I don't usually eat lunches, I eat breakfast and I eat dinner. My dinners are usually large, full of protein with a side of veggies, my family is keen on health. But I'm alone for the daytime so I have to make my own breakfasts.

What are some good ideas for weight loss breakfasts? Preferably lactose free, since I'm lactose intolerant, low carb, and easy to make. Preferably something I can meal prep for the week so I don't have to worry about cooking much. I'd like something rich in protein specifically. Thanks for any ideas

Stats: I'm 29yo male, 167cm, weighing around 69kg at 10-12% bf. Training seriously for 1 year.

Been bulking now for 3 months (tracking everything as accurately as possible) and went from 65,5kg to 68,5kg.

Proceeded to incorporate creatine 2 months into the bulk and basically hyperresponded (within 1 week I was much stronger and looked way, way fuller, putting on 2kg roughly). So I was almost 71kg and a little mind-blown how easy it was.

Since I upped my kcal significantly when I started to bulk (around 300-500kcal more than before easily) I thought it was also due to the surplus in food.

I then stopped creatine to see what would happen (without modifying my kcal intake of course) and went back down to 69kg within 2 weeks (of course while still bulking). Now I have been stuck around 69kg for the past 2 weeks, although I am still in a surplus of 300-500kcal every day...

How can that be?

I am already eating ~3000kcal a day, training 2-3 a week, 7-10k steps a day, might go and play basketball or swim a couple of times a month. Living fairly actively.

Can it really be that 3000kcal is now my maintenance food intake? Seems to be a lot for my height, weight, and activity level. Keep in mind that a couple of weeks prior I was putting on mass easily with those 3k (very clean diet, 2 grams of protein per kg/bw, 300grams of carbs, tracking with cronometer which is also adding the kcals the body is using to digest the food you track so it should be very accurate.)

Just want some clarity and it would be nice to hear what more experienced guys think about this.

My goal is to bulk up to 75kg until fall, putting on roughly 1kg per month and staying under 14-15%bf (I build muscle fairly easily)

Thank you in advance to shed some light on this!!

My mouth water..they look absolutely delicious. But i cant make myself to eat it. I ve tried, but i cant enjoy it. For example big prawns. Big red prawns with butter grilled over the fire. Delicious thought right? But when i eat it, it doesnt meet my expectations. And i wont take another bite of that. I asked my mom when did this happen because i cant remember when i started not eating seafood. Shensaid i dont know, when i was little(probably too little too notice i exist) she fed me with pretty much anything. And if this is not enougj to puzzle myself, i can eat processed seafood like fishballs. Help?

I would like to start using a supplement on top of proper diet and exercise. I just need something that will suppress appetite and/or burn body fat. I’m new to all of this. I was also looking into G6 Keto ACV gummies. Thoughts? TYIA.

Any advice on if this diet is good to build lean muscle and drop fat I do cardio everyday for 30 minutes to 1 hour

im changing diet completely and im exchanging my meat for vegan options and when i feel i really want some meat i will swap it in but i want to try an all vegan diet first to lose some weight off my fat ass and also just generally feel better!
if anyone has any tips or recipes please !

im currently doin alot of stuff with chickpeas and humous and making my own tofu!

So basically, growing up all I really have eaten my entire life is pizza, chicken, sweets, taquitos, tacos, etc, and now I've had an intense hunger for like a month and a half, been tested for diabetes and all that and I don't have that, so everyone thinks it's lack of nutrients suddenly catching up or something. Help?

Hi All

I currently got diagnosed with diabetes type 2 and high cholesterol due to years of eating terrible things but time to change my lifestyle.

My main issue is what to have with my dinners so can have chicken, fish, salad but I can't have chips (fries) even homemade ones 😪

Posting this hoping someone can help with meal ideas and some tips.

Concerned about the possibility of not matching my daily water intake goal of 100 oz because I’m full from the non-dairy horchata I had with vegan takeout for supper.

I’m up all night until the morning because “healthy” eating leaves me unable to sleep. I take an ungodly amount of stuff to try and sleep. I’m avoiding psyche meds atm because they make me gain a ton. I’m diabetic and very petite too. So being a bbw isn’t an option

I'm getting a tonsillectomy in a month, but I'm on a diet. For weight loss purposes and general health purposes. I generally aim for low carb, high protein, almost dairy free. It works best with my body and has virtually healed my stomach problems. I'm willing to drop my deficit for my recovery, if I need to. But I'm not willing to give up dairy-free and low sugar. The only foods I really know for post-op are broth, jello, and ice cream. Dairy-based ice cream is a no-go, although I'm not sure if there's non-dairy ice cream. Sugary jello will make me ill. I have nothing against broth.

So I'm looking for suggestions. I need this surgery more than I need my diet, but I'd still like to try keeping to it. Thank you!!

Can someone explain this to me. I calculated how many calories I need to eat for weight loss it says 1750. So if I eat 1750 calories a day and also lose 300 calories by exercising. Then could I eat an extra 300 calories on top of the 1750 calories I have ate and still maintain my daily calorie oie intake for weight loss. Hope that makes sense Thanks

Hey guys, I need you suggestions and advise, I am in my cutting phase right now and looking to lose fat, I am a vegetarian, so what I do is, I consume normal food which is: 2 x Indian Bread, some rice, lentils and curry in the afternoon i.e. my lunch and then in the evening post workout i consume the product below

https://www.almarai.com/en/brands/almarai/liquid-dairy/protein-milk

Nutritional info as below:

Serving Size = 200g

Calories = 151 DV(%) Total Fat 0.6g 1% Saturated Fat 0.4g 2% Trans Fat 0g 0% Cholesterol 3.7mg 1% Sodium 209mg 9% Total Carbs 19.4g 7% Dietary Fiber 0g 0% Total Sugars 18.5g 0% Includes Added Sugars 9.5g 19% Protein 17.0g 0% Vitamin A 400 IU 15% Vitamin D3 80 IU 13% Calcium 539.7mg 54%

Kindly note the above information is as per 200ml but the bottle comes in 400ml pack which is as good as 34gms of protein and then after a 30-45 minutes break i consume a scoop of whey protein which offers 30gms of protein along with water, i basically skip dinner.

Just kind of second-guessing myself with the decision to go with this nutritionist, as I am so fucking hungry right now.

Nutritionist with PhD assessed my weight/muscle mass/fat % /hydration levels. She concluded I probably burn about 1390 cal per day doing nothing. I don’t have a car and I live in a city and walk everywhere. She said she would make me a plan consisting of 1500cal/day.

I have a history of anorexia but I have been at a restored weight for 2 years. Diagnosed 3 years ago. Frustratingly now I am just a few pounds overweight. Trying to work on getting down to a healthier weight but my GODDDD I am hungry.

To be fair this is only day one and I haven’t really stuck to the meal plan very well.. feeling really lost and confused.

I am not sure who made the meal plan.. I think it was probably the younger woman who works in the office as she is the one who took my food preferences.

Sorry about the language, basically that says breakfast to snacks, lunch some snacks, and dinner.

Historically, I have been vegan, but I am trying to work on not being vegan anymore.

I am so hungry I actually want to cry.. but I don’t know if that’s because these are big and hard changes or because of I don’t know what?

I didn’t get to see A nutritionist when I first was diagnosed with anorexia because of insurance. Now is the first time and I am feeling really really sad.
