Yeah that's prob true I tried making it and it was pretty bitter and dry and gross, the onions were good though lol

You have to just barely cook it

Hmm that makes sense

Also dont salt until done cooking. If you salt before you cook it dries it out even more.

Would it be wise for me to start portioning out meals for the week? I've seen professional body-builders do this, and seems like a good idea.

Yes meal planning and portioning is a very good idea!

it saves money too and helps make sure you’re sticking to macros(if you’re into that)

Wife and I are trying out planning, and has worked well! I'll look into it then, PRobably saves time in the long run as well

Sunday night and wed night cook/prep worked for me in the past

Been trying to get my macros and micros in check but it's not easy

56% carb 20% fat 21% protein

I've been doing some research, and how should I go about portioning my meals?

Broccoli, nuts, berries, etc?

Hmmmm that is tough it depends on your goals right

Like if you want to lose weight

And things like your current weight and activity level should be taken into account too 😊

Bought chicken liver last night. Going to try to make this

nice

What is up with this onion thing lol

@Coghasta - FL see onionposting

@StrawberryArmada Fast food is not a good source for looking for nutritious foods. I think if you eat grass fed beef and free range poultry etc you will gain great nutrients and gains without side effects brought about by fast food and high sugar diets that most americans consume.

Beef. But also eat some vegetables like chicken or pork

All meat diet.

I only eat fast food

No time to go slow

Someone told me i should eat lots of fats and calories so i'm eating some ice cream

I love this dietary advice

lol

support Ben and Jerry's. They are the accelerationist candidate for ice cream-funded degeneracy.

Wow... I'm finally an alpha now

Here's a repost from the old server. Paleo Mac and cheese. The "macaroni" is diced cauliflower

I thought cheese wasn't Paleo?

Definitely isnt. Cheating is what a caveman would do though

Meant to type keto. I'm a nutrition noob but the chef wasn't

Oh. Well I dunno what that is but sounds fancy

Does anyone know what effects drinking a lot of tea has on you? Iced tea (sans sugar, of course,) is basically all I think, and several more cups of hot tea before bed. A while ago I experienced kidney stones for the first time, and needless to say that’s something I’d rather avoid in the future. I’ve read that drinking too much tea, coffee, and soda (don’t drink the last one at all,) can sometimes cause kidney stones, but does anyone here know anything about that? How much is safe to drink then? What’s optimal?

My wife can't drink much tea bc of kidney stones.

According to doctors

I wonder if it depends on the tea

Might. I know they told my wife it was minerals from the tea leaves. Probably have to look at nutritional info to determine if one is worse than the other.

Do Brits get a lot of kidney stones? If not I call bs on that advice

Never got a kidney stone yet, but could be the tea you drink.

Its also possible it's just the inability to process minerals in the tea quick enough to exit the body

@The Eternal Anglo many different kinds

How the fuck does tea give you kidney stones? Wtf that makes me mad

I refuse to cut down on tea

@Deleted User sounds like liberal bullshit tbh

You would think the water in the tea would counteract any ill effects of minerals or whatever

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12495262

It's the oxalate in some types of tea apparently

RIP I drink a ton of Arizona Green Tea

That has so much sugar

Precious calories

Drink milk for liquid calories

So what's the rundown on IBS and nutrition?

@Koba#0202 Don't eat fried potatoes

Eat clean. Stay hydrated, and you should be good

☝🏻I thought I had ibs for a lot of my life until I got ahold of my diet

Now I don't ever have a problem

Interesting, that could be it then because it doesn't run in my family. At RIT I only really ate Oreos, scrambled eggs and ramen with a lot of alcohol on the weekends. Diets gotten better since then, I'll experiment with it some and see what results I get

One of my new year resolutions is to improve my oral health. Does anyone have recommendations for a good natural toothpaste?

And actually since I'm asking this, perhaps we could also add hygiene channel?

I like perioclear a lot

What's good about it?

@Deleted User

https://hippocratesinst.org/shop/periopaste-toothpaste-4oz

Oh that looks really good. I've been looking for one that doesn't have toxic fluride in it.

Yeah give it a shot and let me know what you think

Thanks man I will.

Check toms or even (((dr bronners)))

@Deleted User how long does that one tube usually last you?

Good question. Same size as standard toothpaste.

Toms of Maine? I love that toothpaste

Periopaste

Toms is good, but they only own 15 percent of the company. Colgate owns the rest.

Jason's is good, too.

dang

I've used Jason before. I liked it also.

No homo

Jason’s is good, can confirm

The Chad meal prep step one.

Woah!

Sexy.

https://examine.com/

really good website to learn info about supplements

@Fox whole turkey is probably cheaper than frozen ground turkey isn’t it?

Get the whole turkey. It's not as processed, and the organ meats are high in nutrients.

@Deleted User I would assume so, yes.

Are there any good ways to make beef liver?

Depends on if you like beef liver...

If you hate it then chop it up real small and add it to something like meatballs, chili, spaghetti sauce or something like that with a bunch of ground beef.

If you do like it then just sear it hard in a cast iron or on the grill and don’t cook it over medium.

Cook it with onions too, very 👌🏻

I’ve been buying Vegan protein powder from Costco over the past few months because it just looks healthier. Can you make any gains from it though or does it just give you an adequate amount of protein to be moderately in-shape?

It's a good source of bioavailable protein. I used it for a year and never noticed a difference between that and whey other than texture, taste, etc

@AltRightMick

@BigBadSaxon#3903 Thanks man, that’s what I figured. My client sells nutritional supplements online and said that there was some chemical in the whey which provides toning for you muscles that’s not in Vega.

Stop. Drinking. Whey. http://darwinian-medicine.com/10-reasons-why-you-shouldnt-use-whey-protein-supplements/

I don't like that article. If we should only eat what our Paleolithic ancestors ate then we shouldn't be eating or drinking 90% of what people eat nowadays. No coffee, no avocado, no potatoes, no rice, no tuna, no pineapple, no coconut, etc... it's basically just an anti-dairy article, and at the end they even say that the most interesting point imo (gut bacteria) hasn't had any proven effects positive *or* negative

I have spent many years cycling as transportation to and from work. I would sometimes cycle 30 min to get to work, I would work 12 hours, and then I would cycle the whole hour to get home. I would do this several days per week. The only reason why this was possible is because I was consuming recovery drinks within the 30 minute time frame. Without recovery drinks, I never could have maintained the energy level necessary to accomplish this.
You can make a case that perhaps whey is not the best protein for this, but recovery drinks, particularly grass-fed whey mixed with rice milk, massively reduced my recovery time.

There are many things that are "natural" that aren't necessarily good. Snake venom is "natural". So is dog shit. We are conscious beings, and we can add things to our diet and adapt over generations. It's called "evolution". Evolution is about as natural as it gets.

If you can’t process dairy, you aren’t white. Additionally, if we are going to have a civilization we will have cheese production and will need a use for whey.

To be fair it is much better to get your nutrients from actual food.

But no, I think anyone who thinks correct supplementation is somehow bad for you is autistic and likely a soy goy

Give us this day our daily macronutrients

Sounds like no one read the article

I believe whey protein powder increases your risk of testicular cancer

Bad for your hormones

Try using protein powder that doesn't contain massive quantities of dairy

Rate my supps

Huge sale at Sprouts today

35% off

10/10 would ingest

Wow nice stack

I don't even know what some of that stuff is

is that non-whey?

Non whey yes

More expensive than whey though

right, whey a little rough on the stomache was gonna give it a shot

I've been using this stuff for a while and i like it, the flavor is breddy good

It's got more than protein that's why i prefer it

This one also has probiotics and a good amount of vitamins

"risk of testicular cancer" is enough for me to pay a bit extra

It's because of the way it can mess with hormones

I'll definitely give it a shot, been looking for an alternative

Ok buy it off Amazon it's cheaper lol

It's still 'expensive I think 2 dollars a serving

But I love this stuff lmao

that's manageable

I'm a cheap ass about food 😂

it's the best investment!

So true

besides mcdonalds

Made that mistake of being too cheap with food buying ramen noodles every day

Gained 20 lbs of fat

oof

Yeah good thing I lost it all though

Can't live off of ramen noodles haha

no not for long anyways, I'm going in opposite direction, put on 20 lb since starting back up at gym, 150 to 170

really fast too, noob gains

20 lbs muscle?

has to be largely muscle

will slow down now probably

Woah that's good though

I was surprised

*steps on scale* damn!

How long it take to get to that

two months maybe

Woah sheesh

Gonna get stretch marks 😂

lol

That's pretty impressive

that's why I dont want to stop shakes ha

For real

What's your protein intake now

don't count :/

Lol I guess eventually you'll have to count macros

yep, need some app or something I guess

or a really good chart

Hmm what phone do u have

apple

Does the apple have a health app already ?

I know mine did

probably, sounds easy enough

oh yea, nice here it is

thx

not sure I'm organized enough to document everything but I'll work towards it... I tend to do better with shooting from the hip

Ok cool it's actually pretty easy to do

I've been doing it for a bit now

So right after you eat something you should probably log it in the app so u don't forget what you ate

And if it's like mine, the app will tell you the macros of the food you type in

I'll give it a shot, good habit to form

Like this

lol length and everything

Haha ikr

ill keep my ruler handy

I mean what kind of autist measures their bananas

😂

I'm gonna have to try this

And it will tell you what your macros are for the whole day or it should

nice, okay I'll start tomorrow why the hell not

It might be interesting just to know

easy to over estimate without tracking, in many things

finance too obviously

Yeah you may be surprised

most likely

What is the protein shake you take now

it's this stuff "six star" pretty standard I think, just grabbed at walgreens

actually the whole label ripped off when I opened it so that's all I can tell you lol

it's almost gone

That's funny lol

I have when that happens cause then I forget what it is

Good thing it's easy to remember a tub of powder as big as your torso

yea, don't put it near the laundry detergent

Lmao!

Was gonna look up the macros for the six star thing but there's like 100 different versions of it of course

yea that might help, I'll use a generic one and then buy the vegi

Meal prep is fun they said.

When you have to ice your tendons but you forgot to make ice. Frozen broccoli, bodybuilders best friend

Something something, of it looks stupid but works something something

Your prepped meals look like you shoved two containers of pretzels into a model fridge at a home depot

haha

So I bought a giant bag of flaxseed from Costco to put in my smoothies. It wasn’t until I got home that I found out that flaxseeds have phytoestrogens, but they are lignans and not isoflavones.

Yes :/

I have removed most nonanimal fat sources

I'll eat mixed nuts but flax is not ideal

But is flax ok to consume?

Yes

Lots of Omega-3, which helps with Testosterone production, among other things.

I believe the whole phytoestrogens thing is extremely overblown. Like Praetorian said, they’re actually a great source of omega 3s.
But if you *really* care about avoiding phytoestrogens that much, chia seeds are almost identical in nutritional profile.

Check out this video if you want to see what soy does to men. Soyattle is full of these manginas.
https://youtu.be/SqlfHbH55W0

Chia seeds are the ideal food

http://www.fertstert.org/article/S0015-0282(09)00966-2/fulltext Interesting read.

"The results of this meta-analysis indicate that neither soy protein nor isoflavones affect reproductive hormone concentrations in men regardless of age or cancer status. These results suggest that consumption of soy foods or isoflavone supplements would not result in the adverse effects associated with lower T levels (31, 32, 33)."

Vegan master race @Ekdromoi

All I want to say is I’ve been vegan for 2 years and eat soy products semi regularly. No negative health effects, no problems with test levels, and I have been lifting 5 days per week over that same period - you can ask anyone from the Northeast who all know me IRL for reference.
It’s likely the Try Guys eat a standard omnivorous American diet and are betas by nature - not as a result of phytoestrogens.

BUT ITS OK IF YOU DISAGREE AND ARENT VEGAN THATS FINE YOU DONT HAVE TO EAT SOY IF YOU DONT WANT TO

They have no more arguments, they need to go vegan

I’ve seen too many friendships die this way.

Agreed, but if they have can't formulate an argument against it or any argument they have doesn't hold water logically or in terms of health, then they should go vegan. It's definitely not a pressing issue right now, but when we have our future secured, it'll be a talking point then.

I go full cod liver oil for fats

Omega 3 I mean

My system is very sensitive

Would rather avoid all possible sources of estrogen

Yeah, the soy argument for whatever reason can get pretty heated.

It is not de wae

We had a new IE member flip out in here a while back -- he told someone who was arguing that soy wasn't that bad that he was a Jewish shill and should get killed by antifa.

Needless to say, we let him go.

Lol

what do you guys think of the ECA stack?

Are primatene tablets a good way to get ephedrine for pre-workout?

It works but the A is now considered unnecessary

Bronkaid is the common go to for ephedrine

Can be bought behind the counter at Walgreens.

Just be careful because it can get your heart rate really high if you do HIIT or any high intensity cardio

want to do it in combo with intermittent fasting

i don't do HIIT

That's the best way to do it I think

And definitely don't do MMA while on it
