PROTEIN FOODS Locations

**Eat your highest carbs on training days, front-loaded around your workouts and in the first half of the day. On low-carb days, push your limited carbs to the meal right after exercise. Timing matters almost as much as the amount itself.** I've spent 15 years adjusting carb timing for hundreds of clients, and the single biggest mistake I see is people who nail their high and low day amounts but eat carbs at completely wrong hours. They wonder why fat loss stalls. The fix is almost always the clock, not the calories. --- ## What Time of Day Should You Eat Carbs on High-Carb Days? **On high-carb days, concentrate 60-70% of your daily carbs between breakfast and early afternoon. Your ...

So, about 3-4 years ago, I was at my goal weight of \~168lbs. However, looking back now, I realize that I went about it the wrong way. I wouldn't eat anything until dinner and then have a smaller meal. I lost weight pretty fast, but obviously that isn't the healthy way to do it. Now, after convincing myself I didn't need to workout anymore, and slowly giving up on my nutrition, I now sit around 245lbs, which *****. These are the issues I have encountered when trying to lose the weight, and I would appreciate any advice: \- I love food. Some of the best parts of my day are getting to eat the foods I love. This makes it really difficult to change my eating habits. \- Anyt...

Long period without iodine and believe I'm paying for it, but after finally finding an iodine salt brand without the dozen other additives in America, I'm reacting to the tiniest pinchest of it already. The problem with my flares is it dominoes and I began losing safe things which I cannot go through again after finally finding safe foods and brands I've trialed so long to get. Is taking iodine through seaweed (super high in histamine on the SIGHI list because of iodine) somehow less reactive than supplements? I've seen in subs people recommending that but literally what's the difference? Is it a difference in how we with MCAS metabolize it, or people in general ...

i had my worst and longest relapse that started jan 2025 and lasted 15 months. and got diagnosed with anorexia this february and i finally decided to recover in march. i was (and currently still am) recovering on my own, and honestly it hasn’t been that difficult…? i eat whatever i want whenever i want, i’m physically incapable of stopping myself from not eating even if my ed thoughts are particularly loud. i think i’ in a period of extreme hunger atm. i’m uncomfortable with the weight i’ve gained, feel a lot of guilt and shame, excerise compulsively sometimes (but not an extreme amount, just walking and light weightlifting), i entertain the idea of relapsing, body checking more,...

Hi all. My senior boy (left) is coming up on his 17th birthday this July. I’m 28, so I’ve now had him for the majority of my life, and I want to make sure I don’t cause him any unnecessary suffering. Over the past few years he’s shown some general signs of aging. He’s gotten quite affectionate, can’t jump as far/high, and has slowly lost weight. He also started pooping outside the litter box, for what seems to be two separate issues: constipation, and what I call “angry poops” because I can tell it’s out of spite by the location he chooses. He saw the vet a few years back when this started, and she recommended supplementing with fiber. This mostly fixed the issue and brou...

My vet appointment's tomorrow and I'm going to have him X-rayed to check for cancer. I'm just trying to come up with possibilities that I can discuss with my vet if the X-ray comes back negative. This is my buddy Shadow. He started being a little bit lethargic in January, around the date this photo was taken. I took him to the vet, got him checked out for insulinoma. No sign of insulinoma, but the vet had me start him on prednisolone anyway to see if it would help. She also palpated him and didn't find anything at the time. He's not showing the hair loss or hind leg weakness that would make me think adrenal disease. I know that adrenal can present without hair los...

I had my cat Papaya on Senvelgo for more than a year and I decided to try and see if she would do well on a low/no carb diet. When on Senvelgo, I gave her food that had around 20% carbs in dry matter analysis. I did try giving her lower carb foods like Fancy Feast pate and Young Again Zero, and after a few days of only low carb food, both times she had a hypoglycemic event that was solved with honey and Temptations treats. The vet was skeptical that they were hypoglycemic events, but she didn’t see Papaya while it was occurring, she was very lethargic and drooling while sitting up and not reacting to stimulus. Senvelgo works by filtering glucose out of the blood, so you would think that l...

Honestly, a lot of people feel this way—and it’s not because you’re failing. Healthy eating today isn’t just about food anymore. It’s about navigating a ton of rules: eat clean, avoid processed foods, increase protein, cut sugar, eat organic, support energy, recover properly… it adds up fast. That constant decision-making creates mental fatigue. You’re thinking about food all day, not just eating it. What seems to help is shifting away from perfection and focusing on consistency: * Keep meals simple and balanced * Stop trying to optimize everything * Focus on energy and how you feel, not just “good vs bad” foods A lot of newer wellness approaches (and even some coll...

I made the pesto with basil, spinach, lemon juice & zest, Parm, olive oil, and garlic—blending in cottage cheese and nutritional yeast to boost protein, umami, and adding a creamy texture without resorting to heavy cream. Set aside while I cooked chicken and set pasta to boil. Finished it off by giving it a final blend with some pasta water. I browned the chicken, adding broccoli and peas. Then added garlic, lemon zest, red pepper, s & p right before taking it off heat. Tossed it all together off heat, slowing adding in pasta water until glistening. Done. Very tasty.

Just curious if there’s an anti-thesis of Reta for gaining weight without consuming 3000 calories a day in a calorie surplus? Supplements and peptides etc only- please don’t reply with “food””milk””protein shake” this is for research from a Biohacking perspective not looking for a nutritionist or diet plan.

I feel I should add a disclaimer that I’m not vegan or vegetarian for health reasons, but I figured that this community would be the best place to figure out how to fill need in my diet that can’t be solved with meat. I have a chronic health condition where I’m required to eat a low oxalate diet and limit animal protein. I recently did some medical testing and found I’m pretty anemic and I want to make sure I’m getting enough iron in my diet. Eating more beef isn’t really an option because of the medical diet I mentioned earlier. I also can’t eat spinach, most legumes, and most nuts due to the high oxalate content. Does anyone have any advice on supplements or foods that me...

Im 16 yrs old weighing 175 lbs, 5'4. My dream goal is to be 130 lbs. I drink a protein shake on the weekday mornings, i eat a small sandwich at school. When I come home I exercise for 35-40 mins ( treadmill and the elliptical 4 times a week). Then after a while I eat some rice, lots of green veggies, salmon/chicken and greek yogurt. Or I eat mushrooms with chicken or salad with tuna. then at night before 8, i try to limit myself with a protein bar, some fruits and if i feel like i need junk food then some diet pepsi. I have been doing this since 1 month and lowkey dont see clear result ( i mean i guess its like that). Does anyone have any tips or anything I should add to my routine. I d...

AIO: Roommate with no kids making comments about how I parent in front of my kid I have lived with my roommate for almost 2 years now. My only real problem with her is that she constantly gives her opinion on how I should parent my 16 yo daughter, and no, I am not asking for her opinion. Some background on my child, she is a good student, will finish high school with her associates degree, is active in JROTC, and has a beautiful heart where she volunteers to help with special needs kids at her school. She wants to be a nurse. She has a severe form of epilepsy that we just recently were able to get mostly under control. She does have some pretty severe trauma from age 10 that has caused mult...

**Carb cycling is a structured eating pattern where you alternate between high-carb and low-carb days to manipulate your metabolism for fat loss and energy. It works because your body responds differently to carbs depending on timing, activity level, and hormonal state. Done right, it lets you burn fat on low days and refuel performance on high days.** I've spent over fifteen years watching people white-knuckle their way through low-carb diets, lose twenty pounds, then gain back twenty-five. The pattern is brutal and predictable. Carb cycling exists precisely because permanent restriction fails for the vast majority of people. I've guided hundreds of clients through this approach,...

Diet & exercise-wise, im a total health nut & stay on top of the latest nutrition research, biohacking, etc. I try to utilize all of this knowledge to just experience decent sleep & close to “normal” energy levels. I miss them… I’m trying to demystify what supplements are doing what w/ me. That can be difficult when you’re singling them out &, perhaps, they haven’t fully left your system or even built up enough; & you’re moving onto the next experiment (& might have interactions that aren’t ideal). I can’t quite pin down if taurine is jacking me up sometimes. It doesn’t ever make me “sleepy” at night, & I often...
