Currently on the 8th week of my cut, and at the first weeks I ate 4 meals spaced throughout the day with 40-50gs of protein . However these last couple weeks, I tried something different, which was skipping breakfast and fasting till lunch, and have only 3 meals a day. For whatever reason I...

So I’ve got terrible insomnia, and as such last time I bulked, the only real way I was able to make progress was to dirty bulk. After such, I dove headfirst into what in the end turned out to be a 5 month cut, ending with crazy leg, ab, back and chest veins. I ended up crashing my hormones (no...

Hey y’all, Currently I weigh ~145 lbs, looking to weigh 160 lbs. Right now I am eating roughly 4000 calories a day and close to 200 grams of protein each day. These calories are coming from healthy foods, not crap. Anyways what are y’all’s thoughts on consuming this many calories at this...

Was curious on some feedback for a cutting phase - I ate this yesterday and I felt great and leaned down this am. The chicken breast, if not overcooked, was very tasty and I didn’t feel like I need any sides. Looking for any feedback on Macro mix and overall if this is a good approach to adhere...

From the IG post below. Was planning to start this but wanted to get some feedback. He acknowledges he takes peptides but would like to keep this focused on macros and not about PED's. His physique has been consistent and that's mainly what I'm looking for. 225g protein, 100g Carbs (sometimes...

Hello all noble natties, I am currently on reading week and will not be able to get in the gym for about a week, which I'm okay with since my body is beat up anyways from training hard 7 days a week for 5 weeks straight, and running an UL split before that. I am currently 187lb and between...

My whey hydrolysate has >7 g of glutamine per serving. Can I have 4 servings (>28 g of glutamine) of that whey every day or is that too much glutamine? I’ve heard it raises ammonia in blood serum at higher doses. Thanks!

This may be a stupid question, I’m just curious and trying to learn. Why is it that so many people on gear eat like 250+g protein? As a natural, do we need less, if so, why? I’m someone that naturally just loves protein and gravitates towards it, so at 160 I tend to eat 200g no problem

I’ve been cutting for about 7 weeks and for the first 5 weeks I was losing about 2lb a week and now I haven’t lost any weight on the scale for the past 2 weeks. I’ve been eating slightly less than I was the first 5 weeks to account for the weight loss but I’m not losing scale weight. I know for...

G’day, I’ve been a long time lurker, first time poster here. I wanted to see what people’s favourite meals for a weight loss diet may be. What I’m looking for is high protein, low/mid fats, and scaleable carbohydrates. Also needs to be something that is satiating and tasty - unless bland is...

Hi guys. Bit of a different one here. Any tips for staying awake at the wheel whilst bulking? During a cut it’s not as hard, but whilst bulking I find staying awake at the wheel really difficult as a van driver. I work out at 6.15am to avoid the rush and by the time I’ve trained and got a few...

Okay so I was previously in a fat loss phase and was 90kg(198 lbs) at the start. So due to being in a deficit and the higher bodyweight, I was consuming 1g/lb which came out to be 200g approx. Now I'm 70kg(154lbs) and this new thing came out and Dr. Mike even made a video on it that says we...
