Organic foods are often sprayed. It would be good to know more specifics. With what? What are the allowable pesticides that can be used, within regulatory limits? How toxic are they? How concerning? What are the best strategies for dealing with this?

Is it not the skin where most of the fiber is? Why would blanched almonds be just as concentrated in fiber, according to nutritional facts?

Looking for some insights on Almond Gum/Resin for bodybuilding. Not sure if it is a supplement consuming worth while.

Palm oil good?

Hello all. Last year I went on a trip to the Bahamas and in one of the tours we learned about a tea that can kill cancer cells. I can’t remember which tea it was but it wasn’t green tea. I was hoping someone here could help.

Any nutritional recommendations / suggestions for increasing low potassium levels, that are not high in sodium or saturated fat ( and don't include potassium chloride supplements)?

I was watching ep 4 of season 1 of "Down to earth with Zac Efron" and on that episode, he visits the blue zone Sardinia. The researchers there told him that that a low protein diet was one of the factors to why they lived longer. I was already quite sceptic of this due to the water episode before (EP 2) being very pseudo sciencey. What do you guys think? And know? Could someone perhaps link me some studies or videos discussing high vs low protein diet? Which is better for health etc.

Can using coconut oil as a lotion cause cholesterol issues or does it only do that when consuming it? Thanks in advance <3

I'm more amazed at humble popcorn all the time. I've just learned that popcorn was originally used as a cereal! Apparently it's the OG cereal. Just take all these ingredients and mix together:

Popcorn Protein Cereal:

Approximates:

1 heaping scoop whey, some almond milk, and a cup of popped popcorn

35G Protein

250 calories

15-20 carbs

2.5G Fibre

You can also just pop the popcorn with salt and a light oil spray and drink the whey and almond milk. More calories with more popcorn, but still easy to keep it under 400 calories total with a good snack.

Popcorn is amazing, and cheap! A plus nowadays for sure!

If I’m eating at a 350-375 calorie surplus about how many weeks/months does that take to become my new TDEE and when would I need to add another 250 calories or so?

I can't have seafood or nuts and I dislike beans so I can't use the sheet I was given as most things had one of the 3 in the combo.

Any ideas?

A corn tortilla with protein, veggies, and fruit. Tacos are the 🐐

Is it worth the benefit adding onions to your diet? If so what’s the best way to consume, should you chop it, blend it, add other stuff to it? Or do you chomp away at a deluge of onion as tears roll down your face from each bite of pure raw onions. Thoughts?

This is two years old so I'm sorry if most people here have already seen it but this paper is really good and helps answer a lot of questions I see pop up often

Practical, Evidence-Based Approaches to Nutritional Modifications to Reduce Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease: An American Society For Preventive Cardiology Clinical Practice Statement

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8914096/

I know that if a nutrition label explicitly has “0g trans fat” on the label, it could actually just mean <0.5g as the FDA lets companies round down to 0g within that range.

Many sources recommend that you don’t trust only the nutrition facts and look through the ingredient list for “partially hydrogenated vegetable oils”. Foods with this ingredient have trans fat in them.

But I just ate a lasagna that I later realized had 0.5g trans fat on the label. Yet, when I checked the ingredient list on my box, I didn’t see hydrogenated oils anywhere there.

Does this mean that foods with trans fats don’t necessarily have hydrogenated oils in the ingredient list? If so, how else would I detect there’s any?

I am just wondering what strength of the capsule is a good one to take.

What effects it has? Positive or negative!

Do you prefer capsules or tablets? What is the difference?

Thanks for your advice

There’s a lot of websites out there, not sure if it’s all myths.

I read that it helps to sleep better and I'm in need of that. Can you guys confirm if that is true? I do weights, cardio and eat healthy.

Hey guys, I am confused regarding the coconut oil subject. I've heard people saying is a great option for cooking due to its thermal stability. Also read somewere that is has big amount of MCT's (medium-chain triglycerides), which are beneficial for the brain. I read a book called "Bread Brain" and the author recommenda eating 2 spones of this oil per day. But I mean for me it sounds weird, looks too much to me. Specially because I've heard that coconut oil has many saturated fats. So yeah, I don't know what to belive, as you can see I am also not an expert on the subject. So if anyone got some opinions or sources to share, that would be great!

Which of these is healthier and I guess overall ‘better’?

I want to take one over the other but not sure which one to choose

Keto focuses on protein fats; Dash focuses on heart health; Cico focuses on weight; etc. Is there a 'diet' or cuisine that focuses on maximizing nutrients and overall nutrition?

Edit: I use the word diet loosely. Can be a commercialized diet or just a way people eat.

Thank you for all the recommendations!

so recently I heard online that eggs have all vitamins except vitamin C, so what I've been doing recently is preparing my meals around that idea, for example- today for breakfast I had a bowl of brown rice with greek yogurt mixed in (sounds weird but an ex bf taught me it and it's pretty good) with two eggs on top and two mandarin oranges plus a side of broccoli. Is this wrong? This feels wrong. I call this voltron style because the foods come together to make the full "voltron" lol.

I just dined at a restaurant that provided water bottles which claimed on the nutrition label to have 56g of carbohydrates per serving. There are 2 servings included in each bottle. Can anyone explain how a bottle of water can have 112g of carbs? I am not an expert but could not find anything online to support this. Thanks in advance!

Just curious due to our protein-obsessed society

Asking since I'm aware that a lot of fake honey makes use of high fructose corn syrup which is (as far as I'm aware) not great for your body, but excessive amounts of sugar aren't great for you either. So, assuming equal amounts, would take honey or sugar be better for you?

I’ve been searching for some alternatives to the daily “milkshake” of whey protein powder and milk (besides being a grown up and cooking/preparing healthy meals).

I’ve stumbled across ads for this “SEEQ” clear protein powder in fruity flavors. My initial thought was mixing this into my water bottle and just passively consuming this throughout the day.

It has 22g of protein per serving, and is 100 calories. Zero sugar. Undoubtably packed full of chemicals.

I guess my main question is - would it be healthy to slip this into my water and just go about my day? I have a fairly active job and drink a lot of water. Would this have negative health effects if I treat this unnatural concoction as any other beverage?

I am just trying to slowly transition out of my unhealthy lifestyle a bit. I work night shift sitting at a desk all night and eat and drink like crap because I don’t have time to cook for myself a lot. Been trying to drink a lot more water though and running when I can.

This olive oil I have has more saturated fat then polysaturated or mono saturated fat, is it still good to use?

My countries new recommendations for a healthy diet are limiting animal products drastically.

They call to eat 1 egg per week maximum, 300g of meat or fish per week maximum and 2 portions of dairy daily.

1 portion of dairy = 1 slice of cheese or 150g of yoghurt or 1 glass of milk.

My question now is, if there is any evidence that animal products are harmful in small amounts that they need to be limited so drastically for the diet to be healthy.

What I‘ve read so far about this topic does not support that. Maybe there are some newer studies I‘m not aware of.
