You may select your user flair to indicate your level of expertise/education pertaining to nutrition. Do not select a user flair you are not qualified for. For example, only full time students taking courses in the student categories provided may select those. Taking a non-college/university based course does not qualify you for student status, nor does watching several topical YouTube videos. Anyone who is not able to verify their user flair status when asked to do so, may be banned.

If someone drinks a flavored protein shake with sucralose first thing in the morning after a workout, could it cause them to crave sweet things later in the day or increase their appetite?
Has anyone purchased this brand of supplement & are they any good?
What do ya got for me?
Still got things i have to do today but im tired and sore and no way am i drinking more coffee.
Here i am, rock you like a hurricane.
And i ran, i ran so far away.
Wake me up, before you go go.
You spin me right round baby right round.
I just came back to the states after spending two weeks in Indonesia, and I didn’t have any stomach problems after eating dairy. As a contrast, European dairy treats my body just as badly as American dairy.
Are SEA countries using a dairy alternative, or what is it about their dairy that makes my body not react to it?
I would like to understand why the recommendation is two pieces per day but not more. I suppose this is related to Fructose intake
I've been recomping for the last 8 weeks. High protein diet, low carb and moderate fats. I'm moving things along nicely, strength is good and body fat is slowly reducing. My biggest issue is that I'm becoming backed up for days on end. A typical day of eating is below and I'm consume 3-4 litres of water a day. Any suggestions for getting things going a bit more regular? I train early mornings before work fasted.
Pre Workout - Non stim pre workout
Intra training - 15g EAA's & 10g creatine
Post Workout - 4 egg omelette, 2 chicken Sausages and 20g cheese
Lunch - 300g lean ground beef, 80g green beans, 30g pumpkin seeds
Dinner - 250g chicken breast, 100g broccoli
Snack 1 - 1 pear & 1 kiwi
Snack 2 - 3 rice cakes, 30g peanut butter
Supplementing with a multi vitamin, iron, d3 and fish oils. I'll take a digestive supplement to get things moving after a few days but would prefer for my normal diet to take care of things.
What do you do to find peace and comfort when nothing else seems to work and your mind won't settle?
I recently got introduced to polyphenols, and its a new term for me. Does anyone use supplements like this already, and see any changes in the body?
Also, any prove recommendations in terms of gut health supplements?
thanks :)
How can one balance their diet so they can do a bit of both?

Wanted to make sure before I bit the bullet.
After lifting weights, for how long should someone continue to consume protein for optimal growth for the muscles that were lifted? To put it another way, let’s say someone lifts chest on day 0. For the sake of argument, assume that person doesn’t lift again, for how many days after day 0 should that person continue to consume large amounts of protein?
This is dumb af but I have a hard time believing a white vegetable can be that nutritious 😭
Aside from all the sugar and oil making fast food delicious, the convenience of it also makes it so tempting. Sometimes after a long hard day you just want someone to do the cooking for you and go home. Not sit down in a restaurant, not throw something frozen in the oven, I want all of the work done for me besides the chewing. Drive through any city in the Midwest and you will find 15+ different fast food chains to choose from in a 5 mile radius. 5 different ones for burgers and fries, 3 for pizza, 3 for fried chicken. I wish there was just ONE commonplace drive through that provided healthful foods with no hidden ingredients. Why no drive through curry? drive through veggie tacos? Drive through veggie stir fry?
edit: its ironic that I'm complaining about there being no healthy commonplace fast food options and you're suggesting places that only exist in a few major cities
I bought these but it seems like that’s too little Vitamin D (especially where I live) and too much Vitamin C?
Jamieson Natural Sources, magnesium bisglycinate, 20mg per gummie. It says adults should only have 1-2 a day? Shouldn’t it be much higher?
I've been having alot of young barley grass powder dissolved in smoothies etc lately but for some reason its been hard for me, to find any good comprehensive info online about the avg. nutritional content for powdered barley grass (not barley grass juice powder, just straight up barley grass powdered). Could anyone help me in that regard? I want to find a whole table about macro/micro nutrients per 100g, coming from a scientific study but I got easily confused when looking for it :(
Need to make room in our budget for baby formula so we're trying to cut down on grocery cost.
We've been eating a mix of lenthil and spinach jasmine rice and occasionally have eggs for protein.
Is this sufficent diet for our nutritional needs?
We're trying to only buy pantry food and frozen food and want to stay under $10/week.
I've been using MSG (without salt) for a while as a way to make my foods taste less bland. fromy basic research, I understand that it only contains one third the sodium levels of normal salt. With that said, I've only just recently found out about mono potassium glutamate which, according to Wikipedia, is a non-sodium alternative to MSG. Why is so obscure when it potentially seems to be the best thing to use to lower all the sodium in our foods while not compromising too much on taste? (atleast, I think it won't affect the taste of food too much). Obviously, I'm of the camp that Mono sodium glutamate is safe
Finally some movement in this issue that affects us all!

We really like the olipop and the evolution drinks. But I want to avoid products in aluminum cans. Besides the typical kombucha soda in glass does anyone know of good alternatives?
Can you get calories from carbohydrates that are not starch or sugars? Follow up question, what are the calories in a low starch low sugar vegetable coming from? Like broccoli or turnips.
Hi everyone, I’d like to discuss this topic that basically lived with me forever: I seem to naturally have extremely low body fat, the last BIA test I have done reported 6.3% body fat. I go to the gym 3 times per week and average 2700/2900kcal per day, I’m mostly fine with the progress I’m seeing but I just find it weird how my body sits at 6% and chills there, I have been like this all my life. Is anyone of you in the situation or knows someone who is and how they “solved” the issue? I feel like I’m constantly tired, like a bad oiled machine, I only feel better when working out, so a little increase in body fat wouldn’t be bad for me I think.
Comment in this thread to discuss all things related to personal nutrition or diet.

I recently got a warehouse job that starts at 5 in the morning, now I don't mind waking up that early but I am usually very slow and groggy which does not fly when I have to focus and pay attention for work. I have slowly started relying on energy drinks to kick start my brain and am worried it might become a habit. Is there anything I can do to avoid the high caffeine and sugar but still get energy?
I have an addiction to monster energy drinks. I know that they aren’t good for me but for some reason I love the taste. Are there any healthy drink alternatives? And for soda as well?
Looking for a fairly free. Egg free, healthy fufulling breakfast ideas please!
Does Someone Know any best Liposomal Glutathione brand which available in india

I’m looking for quick plant based breakfast / Lunch ideas I can whip up the night before and bring with me the next day. Tired of oatmeal and Avacado toast need some more ideas. I’m not a vegan but trying to make most of my meals plant based and limiting meat/eggs to a few times per week.
I'm sure many of you are in a situation like mine where you workout pretty hard 4-5 days per week and have specific "rest" days where you are definitely burning less "active" calories than on workout days.
For those in this situation who also count calories, do you purposefully eat less on rest days? For example, if maintenance calories for you is 2500, would you maybe eat 2700 per day on workout days and 2200-2300 per day on non-workout days such that your 7-day average calorie intake is 2500?
Or would you just do 2500 per day, 7 days per week, regardless of whether a workout day or a rest day?
Just curious what the knowledgeable folks on r/nutrition like to do!
Thanks for any input.
When I say “best” I mean in helping a person stay hydrated?
-Nectar
-Ultima Replenisher
-Liquid I.V. Hydration Multiplier
I don’t really know what to look for when reading the labels and these are products I have tried before.
