As long as you take multivitamins you should be okay.

Not sure if this question has been brought up

I took a nutrition course last semester
My professor who has also worked as a part-time Nutritionist for the past 25 years said
whey protein powder / protein drinks ie muscle milk is not good for you since it could potentially lead to kidney failure
He continued on telling the class we'd end up in a nursery home stuck in bed and having someone wipe our asses

Says we get enough protein from our diet aprox 4-6 oz of meat will do

I'm curious to know your opinion on whey protein / protein drinks

hey bro a few questions

1) since i added 1 scoop flax seed for its fats to my oatmeal in the morning i have to take a dump easily more than 5+++ times a day
and the flax seeds are literally coming out as they were eaten every session. is this normal?
i just read that flax seed swell in your stomach big time when drinking water so i have to go to toilet more often
what do you eat for good fats?

2) can you post your top 5 sources for protein// good fats// good carbs please?

3) and when is the best time to have a cheat meal? right before workout for more energy while working out or right after to refill glycogen store?

4) does coffeine effect creatine? can i drink coffee while supplementing with creatine?

more to come soon but thats it for now thx

LMAO!

I'm sorry I have to laugh when I hear nutritionists say things like that.

Throughout med school and even pre-med undergrad I had to deal with a lot of professors who believe in this total BS garbage that you only need about 60g of protein per day.

Take a look at these people and tell me, do you want to look like them?

Also how many bodybuilders have you heard ending up in nursing homes? Not many. How many normal every day people who probably eat only about 60g of protein end up in nursing homes? Almost all of them.


The key is GOOD health through a combination of things - 1. adequate and proper nutrition 2. proper exercise 3. good mindset with low stress 4. meaning and purpose in life


For a human being, you require approximately 1g of protein per pound of LEAN body weight for simple maintenance (as in to avoid muscle atrophy)

That means a person at 200 lbs and 20% body fat would need 200 - 20% (40 lbs) = 160g protein per day MINIMUM to sustain muscle levels.

To build muscle you require around 1.5g of protein per pound of lean bodyweight.


Do not worry about "kidney problems" from protein intake. It's absolutely absurd to believe that a reasonable amount of protein could cause any health problems. Quite the contrary, it will actually help you maintain a lower bf%, higher muscle mass, increased metabolism, increased immune system, increased recovery time, and better overall quality of life. Protein is absolutely essential...without it, you become sick and eventually will die.

Kidney problems from excessive protein only occur in two primary cases - 1. People with existing kidney problems taking in excessive protein (2+ grams of protein per pound of bodyweight or more) and 2. healthy people taking in absolutely obscene amounts of protein (500g + per day)


Don't listen to that psychobabble that these so-called "professionals" try to educate people on. They don't understand anything about nutrition, physical fitness, or basic biology. If we listened to them, our diets would be 60g protein, 300g carbs, and 60g fat. Obvious idiots are obvious.\



Hope this helps!

hey there.

Replace the flax seeds with flax seed oil. The oil will not cause this much of a problem and also has more concentrated fats than the seeds alone.

My top 5 sources of protein/carbs/fats are:

chicken,eggs,lean beef, tuna/fish, and protein shakes
oatmeal, brown rice, whole grain pasta, granola, and sweet potatoes
olive oil, flax seed oil, coconut oil, eggs (also protein obv), and fish oil

cheat meal is best POST WORKOUT

I like to avoid caffeine and creatine together. Caffeine pre workout and creatine post workout.

can you give any advice on improving piggy back rides? i'm 190 lbs 5'10, she's 5'4 120. what kind of workouts can she do to give me a piggy back ride around the park? she can carry me a short distance before crapping out, so i think it's more of an endurance issue. also, what position would be appropriate to avoid putting too much strain on her neck/back/knees/etc? i'd feel really bad if she got injured. i wrap my legs around her sides and she carries them with her arms. i wrap my arms around her neck/shoulders.

lmao are you attempting to troll sir?

no, i am not. i like tickling, swing sets, piggy back rides, and stuffed animals (stuffed blood drop in my avatar might give it away). i'm not giving up on my childhood yet lol.

i started working out ~ 1 month ago and your advice on routines/diet have helped me a lot. she's going to start coming to the gym with me to do cardio, and i thought it would be awesome if i could strengthen her up to give me piggy back rides

lmao I don't know what to say...lol

probably the best way to increase the ability to carry things on your back would be to perform deadlifts, good mornings, and squats. Stick to 5x5 format and train all 3 on the same day, twice a week. That's 15 sets a week of those exercises which should be sufficient for strengthening in this case.

If you are being serious and not trolling, I hope this helps.

If you are trolling, then gg sir.

what are the positive effects of not masterbating, or having long breaks between ?
