PROTEIN FOODS Locations

When it comes to competitive bodybuilding, steroids aren't just an optional "boost"—they are fundamentally the dividing line between a natural physique and the massive, hyper-shredded looks seen on modern professional stages. To understand why they are considered so essential to the sport, you have to look at the biological limits of human muscle growth and how compounds shatter them. 1. Smashing the Genetic Ceiling The human body has a hard genetic limit on how much muscle it can build and maintain, largely regulated by an internal protein called **myostatin**, which acts as a molecular brake on muscle growth. Anabolic steroids effectively override these genetic bou...

Today is jab day and I’ve just administered my 8th dose and my first ever dose of 5mg. A part of me is gutted I’m no longer on 2.5mg as it was working amazing… until it didn’t. Im too stubborn to admit that 2.5mg just isn’t working for me anymore and for someone like me who has a lot of weight to shed, I was lucky that it worked for as long as it did and as well as it did. (6 weeks.) The last 7 days in particular have been quite difficult. I slid back into my old habits e.g. snacking and drinking sugary foods, eating takeaways (I’ve ordered 3 since last week), my cavernous appetite making a return and just feeling demotivated overall. Although I have bounced back and ensured I ...

\*\*Link to Study\*\* Effect of oat β-glucan of different molecular weights on fecal bile acids, urine metabolites and pressure in the digestive tract: A human cross over trial https://doi.org/10.1016/j.foodchem.2020.128219 \*\*The Core Issue\*\* Oat beta-glucan is a soluble fiber that shows up in everything from breakfast cereals to health supplements. But here's what product labels never tell you: the molecular weight (basically, how big or small the fiber molecule is) gets routinely altered during food processing, and nobody was sure if that actually matters for your gut. \*\*The Finding\*\* It matters quite a bit. High molecular weight beta-glucan (over 1,000 kDa) created no...

Hey everyone, I’m a 38-year-old male looking for some realistic advice and direction on where to take my physique next. I’ve been working out consistently, staying disciplined on a calorie deficit, and cutting out alcohol slowly (drinking on one of day of the weekend and before I used to drink 4-5 times a week) I will attach some progress pictures below, but here is a breakdown of my current stats and routine: Diet & Macros: Calories: Strict deficit. Protein: High focus. Hitting at least 201g/day (aiming for roughly $0.9\\text{g}$ per pound of body weight). Carbs: Very low carb. Current Supplement Stack: Daily: Creatine (5\\g on my workout days), Whey Protein (1 scoop), F...

Hi everyone! I need some help. I’m new to quails and have 3 (1 male and 2 females). I’m trying to add 2 more females because I read somewhere you need a good ratio of males to females to reduce stress on the hens. I’m looking for some advice on how I should set up my run. This is what I have them in right now and I have a small bird house inside the run where they typically like to sit together. I have a heavy duty tarp over it so it protects from wind and gives them a hide away location/dry space. Does anyone have advice on what I can do to this run to make it more comfortable for them? They hens have stopped laying eggs completely now. 😔 For food, I give them high protein tur...

Hi All, I currently do CrossFit about 4-5 times per week. I don't eat enough, so I supplement my diet with protein shakes. I currently drink a Nurri post workout. It has about 30 grams of protein, and 150 calories per can. Are there any better brands/recommendations you all have? Thanks!!

It’s safe to eat/drink and tastes exactly like the food/drink BUT it lacks any nutritional value or anything food wise in terms of health and nutrition, so- it’s not good or bad for you. It also only works on real foods/drinks. It even allows expensive/discontinued foods/drinks

Hey everyone! I wanted to share some fascinating information I've dug up regarding MCT oil and its potential for SIBO sufferers. We all know how crucial the Migrating Motor Complex (MMC) is for sweeping bacteria out of the small intestine, and how fasting between meals (meal spacing) is key to activating it. Usually, eating *any* type of food or traditional fat (long-chain triglycerides or LCTs) immediately interrupts the MMC and triggers the fed motor pattern, stopping the cleansing wave `[1]`. But MCT oil is an incredible biochemical exception: * **Maintains and Speeds up the MMC:** A clinical study using antroduodenal manometry demonstrated that infusing MCT directly into the g...

Hello, Sorry I’m not sure if this fits here, but I’m so miserable and desperate for answers. I’m F25, and I’ve been getting bad flu-like symptoms every 4-5 weeks, lasting at least one week. It ALWAYS starts the same way, very tired for a day, which i tend to just assume it’s from gym training, but then the tiredness doesn’t go and I immediately get hit with a sore throat and bad dehydration even with taking electrolytes. I get flu symptoms soon after for at least 7 days (coughing either dry or productive, headache, exhaustion, tired legs, shakes and weakness, breathlessness even with inhalers for mild asthma that i take every day, and warm head and chest). I recover and then g...

This is the “mother” lady Chantal keeps talking about and saying she’s going to start eating like….. the lady literally just boils or steams a protein with a bunch of random veggies and herbs and garlic with little to no seasonings and no butter or oils. She calls it “clean food” just like how Chantal would call whole unprocessed foods “clean”. She just did a grocery haul showing all the produce and whole fish she bought to make this….. and she’s now convinced this is going to be the solution for her weight and health issues. I swear this woman will do anything but watch her calories and carb intake. Can’t wait for this Mukbang!! Can’t wait for our gorl to chow down ...

Issues are ADHD, fainting (suspected POTS), sleep attacks (suspected narcolepsy), and fatigue. I think the award was solely based on frequent fainting and risk of injuries. I don’t have any evidence of injuries of fainting. I work in an office and drive there (5 minutes) but can’t go in every day, often not well enough. Currently have no hobbies due to health. Mostly just sleep. Daily living (6 - none) Preparing food: 4 Washing and bathing: 2 Mobility (16 - enhanced) Planning/following a journey: 12 Moving around: 4 Next review: 2 years I feel I should have been awarded points for ‘taking nutrition’. I would only need 2 points to achieve ‘standard rate daily living’....

After nearly three years of organizing, campaigning and fighting legal battles, the time has come for Oklahomans to cast their ballots on State Question 832, which will appear in the June 16 election. If passed, the question will bring Oklahoma’s minimum wage up to $12 an hour at the beginning of 2027. It would then increase by $1.50 each year, hitting $15 an hour in 2029. Starting in 2030, it would increase with the cost of living, using the U.S. Department of Labor's Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers (CPI-W) to determine the amount. The question also removes some previous exemptions to the minimum wage, like agricultural workers and certain workers u...

Hi all, so apparently my situation is a bit odd. I had a sleeve done 9/17/25. However, I had reflux so badly it caused a hernia and I had to sleep sitting up for the last 3 months despite a ridiculously high amt of Rx acid reducers. So 7 months after my sleeve, I had to have a revision to the bypass. I had that on 4/29/26. It ****** because I had JUST gotten to where I could tolerate most all foods. lol. But I felt prepared since I knew the restrictions and basically just needed to start over. At my 2 wk f/u my doctor had me do a barium swallow and just laughed because my pouch was so small. Said I would lose a ton of weight. That’s great and all, but I’m 3 wks po today, and can’t...

I woke up this morning with PEM feeling like I had a really bad hangover, almost identical in feeling except additional physical symptoms. I also remembered that alcohol intolerance is often reported early on in mitochondrial dysfunction related conditions (MECFS, long COVID, MCAS). It got me wondering, has anyone ever tried those Hovenia dulcis raisin hangover supplements? **I don't believe it would be a cure,** but something relatively accessible to see some mild reduction in PEM symptoms might be useful. And this is widely available and consumed in Japan and Korea. # TLDR for below: Acetaldehyde and other stuff like inflammatory mediators, and anti-inflammatory pathways are invol...

Hi all, I want to apologize in advance for the length of this post but im begging for some input. TLDR: so many weird unexplained physical things going on throughout my body, looking for insight/ideas from drs I am one of those people that just has a number of what I’d call quirks health wise/physically that I’ve never been able to get any answers from based on my annual check ups with my PC/other drs. I believe some of these things might be related but I wanted to get the opinions of doctors regarding all my little odd things, especially because I’ve had some changes in the last year or so. My medical history: 26F \~120lbs Bipolar disorder: lamictal 200mg in the am since 2...

31 F, 5’2. My weight has always been fairly consistent at 175 lbs. When the beginning of my GI issues started, i was sick and not eating as much and my weight dipped down to about 164. I’ve been on Omeprazole 40mg once a day since January (on/off, each time I tried to come off it, my flare ups would be so bad I found myself going back on.) I’ve been consistently taking it for about a month now and plan to slowly taper down this time and work on cutting out triggers (coffee is my biggest, and has been impossible to quit.) I’m currently sitting at 185 pounds which is the heaviest I’ve ever been. I have a fairly clean diet, besides the occasional junk food or takeout. I used to bing...
