PROTEIN FOODS Locations

Been taking ashwagandha for about three months now and noticed my sleep quality actually improved noticeably. I was skeptical at first, but the cortisol reduction seems real - I'm less irritable and handle work stress better. MEO Nutrition Ashwagandha has that black pepper for absorption which makes sense. The 655mg dose is solid and I take one capsule before bed. Not a miracle supplement, but definitely worth trying if you're dealing with stress or sleep issues.

Does this seem to anyone else "too good to be true"? This is from Mcdonald's website. I know restaurants/fast food are notorious for BS nutritional info on their website, alongside a lot of "liberties" taken when made on a case by case basis. Upon checking, I just feel like such a junky item would be much higher in fat/carbs/calories and lower in protein... because these macros don't even look that bad.

Building muscle involves a combination of resistance training, proper nutrition, adequate rest, and consistency. Whether you're a beginner or have experience with strength training, here are some tips to help you effectively build muscle: **1. Set Clear Goals:** * Determine your specific muscle-building goals, such as increasing overall muscle mass, building strength, or targeting specific muscle groups. Clear goals will guide your training program. **2. Create a Structured Workout Plan:** * Develop a well-structured workout routine that includes resistance training exercises targeting major muscle groups. This should include a mix of compound exercises (e.g., squats, deadlifts,...

Here's a summary of the last year for me. I aggressively cut from June 2025-Jan 2026 from 185 pounds down to 150lbs by eating about 1200-1400 calories and at least 150g protein, 30g fiber about 5 days a week. In terms of fitness, I was indoor biking in Zone 2 for about 70 minutes each day and lifting about 3x a week-ish. Starting in Jan I was 150lbs but still had a little bit of fat according to the mirror but figured gaining muscle would even everything out. So now I lift 5x a week and I average about 5k steps a day, and ride my bike for 25 mins 2-3x a week. So far I gained 8 pounds back and feel like it’s mostly water weight + muscle according to the mirror but I really dont know. ...

Hi everyone, I’m looking for some advice about my beagle who has been struggling with allergies. Right now his diet is mainly pork with vegetables, and he’s currently taking Apoquel 16 mg as prescribed by the vet. Even with the medication, he still constantly licks his paws and they sometimes get red and irritated. Another issue is that his anal glands seem to get blocked quite often, and we’ve had to have them expressed multiple times. I’m wondering if anyone with beagles or allergy-prone dogs has experienced something similar. Could this still be a food allergy? Has anyone had success changing proteins or trying a different diet? Any suggestions or experiences would be really a...

I am 23f and my friend is 25f. She has a daughter that just turned 3. We do stuff together frequently but it’s not that often that she brings her daughter along because she is just bad and doesn’t act right in public. Whenever we do all go out together I feel the amount of soda and sweets she gives her daughter is strange, especially considering she’s barely 3. I’m not around kids much so I didn’t think much of it and don’t want to undermine her parenting. Anyways flash forward to this week. We planned a trip to take her daughter to Disney world. On the first day, the day we drove there, all her daughter ate were Oreos, a chocolate bar, and nerd clusters. The next day when we to...

Height: 195cm Weight: 74kg Race: Caucasian I’ve generally been bad and inconsistent with my health. At 18yo I had a BMI of 14, and I caused permanent damage to my eyes while starving in my early 20s. I’m typically sick for maybe 8 weeks each year. Since the start of November 2025, I’ve been ill(bad cold or fever) for six weeks. I had my blood drawn last august, and was told the results looked good, which frankly came as a surprise. Over the past year I’ve  been gradually eating healthier. Recently, I’ve pushed myself harder and started revolving my life around diet, measuring all of the macronutrients I consume with a somewhat varied diet. The past three weeks I’ve been...

Blood cancer is a serious condition that affects the blood, bone marrow, or lymphatic system. When abnormal blood cells grow uncontrollably, they can interfere with the body’s ability to fight infections, carry oxygen, and control bleeding. What surprised me while reading about it is that early symptoms are often very common and easy to ignore, such as: * Constant fatigue * Frequent infections * Night sweats * Unexplained weight loss * Swollen lymph nodes * Easy bruising or bleeding Because these symptoms can look like normal illnesses, many people don’t realize something more serious could be happening. There are also different types of blood cancer, including leukemia, lymphoma, an...

For context, I am chinese 23 yo Male with 63 KG, currently still in uni. Tbh my gym fitness journey has been on and off and I have been leading a sedentary lifestyle recently. This is partly because I was disappointed and struggling to keep check with my daily protein intake as I feel like it takes great measures to consume enough intake compared to normal meat-eater. I stumbled across this sub recently and was hoping to get some insights and some diet recc for my situation. Here are some insights I have tried before in the past: 1. 1 scoop of Optimum Nutrition Isolate Choco bliss flavour everyday 2. Consume nutrisoy/HL milk pair w 2 scoops of Greek yoghurt 3. Fried 3-4 eggs per day an...

I’ve received an invitation to serve as Agriculture and Nutrition Coordinator in Nepal, departing January 2027. I currently work as a garden teacher in San Francisco, and I am concurrently enrolled in both the University of California Master Gardener and Master Food Preserver Programs. I am happy to apply all that I’ve learned to my community as a Peace Corps Volunteer! I plan to apply to graduate/medical school post-service. While I was initially hoping to serve in the Health sector, I feel most qualified to advise on horticultural subjects. I plan to teach CPR as a secondary project and generally lean into the nutrition/public health side of things while onsite to prepare myself for a...

hi fellow victims of research negligence! i'm 19, got diagnosed with pcos and insulin resistance late last year (roughly november?) after a grueling battle against blood draws and circling back and forth on what the **** could be the issue with my health. though, i've been dealing with my pcos symptoms since roughly my preteens - which i'm pretty sure is natural.. around sophmore year high school, i developed a bad diet of just low calorie popcorn, jello or yogurt, and diet sodas -- where i'd total maybe 400 calories a day and was at the lowest weight of my life. go me? i guess? even at my lowest, i was never at a point where i was underweight. lowest bmis i got too we...

Here is the formatted post with the 3 prioritized sources hyperlinked (books first, then BeFreed as mandatory): --- okay so i've been noticing this pattern among literally everyone i know, including myself until recently. we're all constantly exhausted, chugging coffee like it's water, complaining about being tired... but still repeating the same behaviors that are absolutely destroying our energy levels. i spent months going down rabbit holes, books, research papers, podcasts, youtube channels from actual sleep scientists and neuroscientists, trying to figure out why i felt like a zombie by 2pm every day despite "doing everything right." turns out, most of us are ...

I've tried vitamin D in many forms. I've used the Thorne vitamin d3/k2 liquid, the AM/MD liquid. Both of those are made with coconut oil. I've also used the Carlson liquid brand and I've had a prescription of vitamin d3 tablets from my doctor. I'm not sure how long I've actually had a vitamin D problem. As I've only recently got tested for the first time last year, ever. One thing I've learned about my health in recent years is that I suffer from pretty bad chronic inflammation, from head to toe. With the main driver of that being my gut, the damage I've caused it and just being pretty much sensitive to all foods. However after getting my leve...

TLDR:,extreme diet and exercise worked for me to get healthy when younger, but as desperate as I am to get to the same metrics, I’m not sure I could manage the same program. I’m older, and in more extreme situation of poor health. I know that 1600kc is standard, with loss rate of about 1% current weight per week is healthy, but I urgently want to lose it faster. I always struggled with weight growing up, but had some strength and endurance from hiking a lot and farm chores as a kid. Once in the military, I was marginally better, but averaged in the 40-60% tier among peers. Target weight per military age and height (68in, late 20s male), was \~175lb. It was a challenge sometimes, bu...
