  1. Caffeine pre workout. Good or bad?

    Sure, but nothing for improving DHEA or testosterone is necessary if your under thirty years old. 18-29y, you have plenty of testosterone and growth hormone circulating and if you're worried about depleted zinc and magnesium, you could always supplement ZMA.

  2. L-carnitine health, working out, and dose

    Huh? What do you mean?

  3. L-carnitine health, working out, and dose

    L-carnitine works similar to creatine in the sense that it is saturated into the muscles. 2g a day will be enough to saturate. The bioavailability of L-carnitine via orally, is terrible (<10%). To reap the benefits of beta oxidation an insulin spike is needed to transport L-carnitine into the...

  4. Pre Workout Meal - Fat or No Fat?

    I would suggest having a proper portion of fats, proteins, and carbohydrates in each meal. If one meal is just protein and fat, what if your protein source and fat source are not complete proteins? Maybe the two you've chosen will complete each other, maybe not. It would be best to include all...

    Wow, I've read and use a 10:1 ratio, piracetam:choline and if alpha-gpc as choline anywhere between 250-1300mg a day.

  8. protein shake before bed

    I have 3 cups of milk roughly an hour before bed which is equivalent to 30g of simple carbohydrates like you stated. I'm fairly certain the simple carbohydrates will digest within an hour, given their structure. Leaving me with ~27g of protein through the night. So if you are consuming 30g of...

  9. egg whites from the shell vs. egg whites from the carton

    The sodium may be slightly higher. I noticed it on a carton I bought. One serving was 13g protein and 200mg sodium; with 2 whole eggs there would be ~13g protein ~100mg sodium.

  10. nutritions tips that many/most people don't know

  11. nutritions tips that many/most people don't know

    Long periods of freezing will denature the nutrients. High heats such as those from toasting will create instantaneous denaturing. Towards the white bread study, it was frozen; the nutrients magically disappeared during the toasting.

  12. nutritions tips that many/most people don't know

    Any extreme temperature will alter the nutritional value of nutrients. Whether it be freezing or hot (~150+) temperatures.

  13. Cardio questions

    Heart health. Whether it need be fasted morning cardio...or LIT cardio anytime during the day; no, the time doesn't matter.

  14. nutritions tips that many/most people don't know

    Freezing, toasting, microwaving, frying (off the top of my head) all cause a decrease in one, two or all three macronutrients. For example, toasting bread or frying pancakes, when you have burnt nutrients those are the destroyed blackened nutrients. Destroyed proteins turn into carcinogenic...

  15. Cortisol?

    Don't worry about it. One cup of coffee will barely increase cortisol; it takes at least 200mg to notice a significant increase. I take it in pill form 200mg, several times a week and it is not hindering my progress. For some people it is not a logically option to withdraw completely from...

  16. how many omega is enough omega?

    Yes, exactly, Omega 3's are ALA, DHA, and EPA. Chances are, once again, you as with most will most likely consume an adaquete amount of ALA's. Now it takes up to 10g of ALA to convert into one gram of EPA/DHA. EPA/DHA are the known Omega 3's that support heart and brain health, amongst many...

  17. What artificial sweetners have been show n to case problems.

    I try and stay away from any sweetness as I can, yes that means refraining from many processed products, which I'm capable of. Honestly, it is the way to go.

  18. nutritions tips that many/most people don't know

    A nutrient can be a macronutrient (lipids, carbohydrates, and proteins) or a micronutrient (vitamins and minerals). White bread has a high GI. White bread's GI impact decreases after freezing/toasting. The decrease in its GI is not through freezing/toasting directly, rather indirectly. It is...

  19. Cardio questions

    Fat Burn zone/60-75% of your maximum heart rate/LIT (low intensity) You can use the Karvonen Formula as BryanM posted above or since technically the KV formula has been proven inaccurate you can surf the web and there are a bunch of calculators to asses a more accurate fat burning heart rate...

  20. Cardio questions

    Consuming BCAA/carbohydrates/protein pre-fasted workout would just be giving your body energy to burn during the workout. BCAA and/or whey protein consumed with low glucose levels will just be converted to glucose through gluconeogenisis, therefore inhibiting your fat loss approach as the body...
