  1. Nuts before bed good or bad?

    Cashews, pistachios, almonds, are these ideal late night snacks close to bedtime? Ideally, I try to avoid any foods at least an hour prior to going to bed, but it was part of an argument and I thought I'd present it here.
  2. Sweet Potato alternatives

    Or good carb sources in general. I only have access to white rice and am looking for other ideas. I'm in Baghdad, Iraq and not on a military camp so what I can get varies and is somewhat limited. The idea is to get a few things and see if some guys can find it downtown or in a market that's...
  3. Sweet potato powder opinions

    Sweet potatoes are not available to me (I'm in Baghdad, Iraq), however, I was thinking about grabbing some sweet potato powder or a powdered carb source next time I go home. Options here are for the most part white rice, fried rice, and bread. I usually scoop a little white rice for the most...

My bf% is high and I am focusing on training and diet, however, I have seen people around...
  8. Hydration Thougts?

    I constantly drink water, almost a gallon a day, and of course talking to a guy, he tells me a gallon a day is actually too much as its flushing out all your minerals and such and such.
