@cdlara381 Alcohol is useful if when around people you don't really know that well as it can lower your inhibitions and make it feel more relaxed. Are you planning to just invite friends to this you know quite well? If anything I'd say alcohol would make that experience worse as you'll have...

@cdlara381 The less you have the better you'll be for it. That being said unless you're going out multiple times a week or something I don't really mind having a couple drinks when seeing friends. You can absolutely have fun without alcohol and making the mental connection between having...

@straw23 Something that actually makes a big difference i found is moving about after eating. Going for a short 20-30 minute walk after dinner really has helped me with digestion overall.

@straw23 I drink a protein shake most days made from: sci-mx v-gain chocolate protein powder, unsweetened soy milk, oats and pure peanut butter. That's makes up 70-75g of my daily protein intake. As far as meals go, i tend to stick to whole / minimally processed foods so i mainly eat chickpeas...

@david61 It's uk cups so i don't know if that makes a difference, it's equal to having roughly 380-400g of rice (that's before cooking it) in one meal. White uncooked rice is 365 calories per 100g so that's roughly 1.5k, probably a little over after seasoning it. It's certainly not for...

@david61 My protein shake is ~1,000, 2 cups of rice is ~1,500, I normally use 2 cans of legumes which is another 600-800. The rest is then usually made up from adding oils, spices and veg to the meal. It sounds like a lot and it is, but you definitely adjust to it and I've definitely felt...

@ready123 Always happy to help and offer additional advice/insight if you have any other questions!

@ready123 I am currently in a calorie surplus eating one meal a day and have seen good growth. Here's what I've learned: - soya milk instead of water in a protein shake adds a good amount of kcal - add a scoop of peanut butter to your shake - use oils in cooking, even if not to fry with but just...
