Good thread stan! I use www.nutritiondata.com to look up various foods' nutritional information. Also, www.stumptuous.com seems to have some good general advice on nutrition (although it says it's for women, most of it obviously applies to both sexes, it is a good place to start). A lot of...

I read an article recently about these people who are doing what is known as a Caloric Restriction Diet (google this term for more information) - they basically eat very little (males are eating around 1500 calories per day). The idea is that it boosts their immune system, protects against...

Sonny, just take a deep breath, chill out, and re-read (note the bold bits): Nothing "lawyerish" about it, the guy said he wasn't an expert from the start, nothing to get your knickers in a twist about. You need to watch how your beef intake mate, it's turning you totally...

I say just avoid processed food as much as possible, then you can't go wrong. If you want pretzels, make them yourself. Just kidding, if you want a salty savoury snack, go for peanuts or cashews. Processed food is full of rubbish, which should be avoided. Also, for some foods the more white a...

But did he eat beef?

That's what I would have thought, I've been giving some consideration to eating Quorn ground beef with her, just because it's a lot less fattening than real beef... Thanks for all the info, btw!

Well, she eats dairy and eggs but no animals (including fish). She is using Quorn, which is good (high protein fake meat). I think she's also going to go in for some Quorn burgers and that sort of thing. She's not taking a protein supplement at the moment, but I think she is considering it. She...

Unrestricted, certainly not. But I think panicking and slapping a "Class-A" stamp on everything that alters your mood or physiology is not the approach to take either... MDMA, for example, is not as toxic as alcohol (more people die from alcohol poisoning, and MDMA has less known long...

The assumption that legal status reduces use is unfounded. In fact, a lot of research has found the opposite - for example, marijuana use is proportionally higher in adolescents in the US than it is in Holland, where it's use is decriminalised. I think a good approach is education on the real...

Whether or not steroids can be used in sporting events is a totally different issue to them being legal or illegal. For instance, high levels of caffeine in the blood is not allowed for sporting events, but caffeine is not illegal. The two issues should be kept completely separate... And...

I'm of the opinion that all illegal drugs should be decriminalised, so steroids are no different. I think the government really should have better things to do than dictate to the masses how they treat their own bodies. Obviously, various substances would require various levels of control. IMO...

Against my good advice (well, I think it's good), my wife has decided to go vegetarian. Something about the cute unfortunate animals... Fortunately, she hasn't given me an ultimatum (i.e., "it's the meat or me, you choose"), but she is concerned about eating adequate levels of protein...

Here as an interesting piece about the creatine/caffeine thing: http://www.thefactsaboutfitness.com/news/coff_creat.htm

Ummm, can't you just have bigger meals? I mean, instead of 7 separate medium-ish meals, can't you have 4 bigger meals? Obviously you'll have to eat a lot more in those sittings, but it should still be do-able...

Cottage cheese blends nicely into protein drinks too...

Well, just wanted to post my thoughts on my HST program so far. I feel really strange about it. I have basically done four workouts so far, so am into the second week of my 15s. I know people say the 15s kick your arse, but I feel fine. Before my HST program I was doing a split program designed...

Hey belly, no way, I live oop north too! Are you in the Rochdale Police force? My dad used to be in the Rochdale Police Force. Until he moved to Australia 30-odd years ago, anyway. Such a small world, never ceases to amaze me... But anyway, I'm an Aussie living in the UK, gone back to my...

Er, I was daydreaming sitting on the bus one day, pulled into the bus station and I looked at the road and thought to myself, "Why is MO75 written on the road?" Realised fairly quickly that it was SLOW upside down, but nonetheless it made me laugh to myself. I happened to be thinking...

Starting my HST program next week, so thought I'd give this recipe a whirl for my breakfasts and post-workout refuel - good work, insane_man. Not only is this thing packed with protein, but it actually tastes nice too! Kinda like a healthy thick thickshake. I put in an extra banana and a bit of...

Pretty much told me what I needed to know - that it isn't a matter of life/death if the figures are not 100 percent accurate. Obviously to work out your totally accurate max of any exercise is going to be a variable issue, nigh on impossible there are so many factors to consider... His post plus...
