t do it regularly, try to at least go for a jog around your block once or twice a week or do workout videos (like the well-known P90X videos) that are quick to whip you into shape at home.
As for meal plans, combining complex carbs and protein is your best bet for gaining muscle.
If you are having problems with your 3 year old eating (as I was last year), you should try these new nutrition bars with a seed/grain called salba. I dont like most of the "nutrition" bars out there with the chocolate coatings and food coloring. But after a friend recommended them, I tried the salba bars and I was pleasantly surprised. They're really, really yummy and my son is practically addicted to them (not to mention me).
Did you know that what you eat directly after exercising – typically within two hours – can have a significant impact on the health benefits you reap from your exercise?
Consuming sugar within this post-exercise window, will negatively affect both your insulin sensitivity and your human growth hormone (HGH) production.
A recent study in the Journal of Applied Physiology found that eating a low-carbohydrate meal after aerobic exercise enhances your insulin sensitivity.
I think I've been gaining weight because I have recently been eating energy bars. Are they "bad" for you?
Is there anything else that I can do to get rid of this embarrassing condition? (I already workout 1+ hrs per day, 5 days/wee; I regularly do cardio interval training, circuit training, and resistance training)
***I've read that this condition is caused by low levels of testosterone. If this is the case, should I be taking testosterone supplements?
It has lots of sugar, again, pro-inflammatory, both natural and added, which might be good before doing a long aerobic workout but not after. There are so many better sources of protein and nutrition; stay away from fads promoted by the dairy industry (let's see, how many can I recall that proved harmful?
Hi, whey protein is just dried milk without the calcium caseinate, lactose, and fat... plain and simple. It's best to use whey protein only for pre-and-post workout nutrition. You're really better off getting the rest of your protein from real food. Drink it 30-45 minutes before working out. For post-workout nutrition it gets a little trickier because the mixture depends on your goals. The post-workout shake is made from skim milk, whey protein.
I eat nutrition bars if I'm hungry. It helps a lot. I eat three meals a day and go thru a box of nutrition bars a day.
By protein bars I mean Balance or Power bars. A lot of times I will eat them for lunch as well. I have eaten them for all three meals, although that is not typical. At least one if not two meals is typical for me.
I have a lot of digestive and health problems and I'm starting to wonder how bad this habit is on my health. Where are some good resources for me to read about this?

Ok so I work 8 to 5 Monday thru Friday. I usually don't have time to make a healthy breakfast so I whip up a smoothie and get on my way. What can I put in my smoothie, like protein or something that will help me get my morning nutrition. Before pregnancy I didn't care, but I am 13 weeks and I want to make sure I'm doing this right.
All the help is appreciated!
I really feel motivated to exercise and workout the muscles that haven't been used in probably 8 years. lol! Back when I was 14-17 I would join my father in the gym, but his trainer gave me different things to do to just be fit and toned. I do have some equipment at my house and my husband works crazy hours so we can't just go to a gym. Plus, I would like to look semi-decent to be able to even show up at a gym. (Yea, I've let myself go that bad.
Eat controlled amounts of carbs like small amounts of potatoes, but try even to change potatoes often to root vegetables with more nutrition, such as parsnips, beets, turnips. Instead of rice, which has little nutrition, try making quinoa. Whatever food you tend to binge on is probably a food your body turns straight to fat. Change is good. Colorful foods are good. Absolutely no soda, especially not diet. When you crave sweet, don't use artificial sweetners; try agave nectar.
Thanks for your help, my food tracker seems to be working now. I have another question though. I make a large batch of Almond Power Bars, (a recipe for protein bars I got from my Maximized Living Chiropractor). Is there a way to calculate the nutritional value of one serving so that I can add it to my tracker?
I was in the habit of taking granola bars/digestive biscuits/crispy nuts bar/croissants etc to curb my hunger when the lunch is delayed or when breakfast is skiped. So it become a habit and I used to keep them in store at office for frequent consumption.Recently I heard about the transfat menace and how dangerously it will affect the arteries. So what is the guarantee that eating these items will improve the health or is it the reverse??
The muscle building ideal is 25 to 40 grams of protein, half before and half after your workout. Chicken, Turkey, or Tuna
(3 oz) 14-22 grams protein 66-100 calories
Wrap one of these standbys in a piece of bread. Four slices of chicken or turkey provide 14 grams of
protein, while half a can of tuna has nearly 22 grams.
Eggs (three)
19 grams protein 232 calories
Hard-boiled eggs are most convenient, but it's also easy to
scramble a few in the a.m.
My diet consists of salads with reduced fat dressings, salmon, chicken, tuna, occasional steak, green vegetables, occasional sweet potato, nuts, cottage cheese, greek yogurt and Atkins bars. I recently had a blood test and my fasting blood sugar went from 87 to 96, and my A1C rose from 5.8 to 5.9. I was shocked because my diet has not included simple carbs for the past 6 months.
Great choices for post workout is a combination of protein and whole grain carbohydrates. I usually go for a protein shake with a little oatmeal, or 4 ounces of chicken with some quinoa. Some people choose a simple protein bar, but be careful of excessive sugars and fats. Quest bars are usually the best choice since many can pack either a ton of sugar or worse, fake sugars.
