#best protein bar for muscle gain

[jd07201990]

"Coach.... I think we should quit it with the shakes for a while... I can't get my shirt down!"

I muttered, feeling every ounce of the 40 lbs I'd gained in just 2 months. I could feel the thick, pastelike protein shake churning in my belly, a dull roaring heat gradually oozing from my core, out to my chest, shoulders, waist, legs, and arms. The raw, itching tingle of energy, fuel pumping into my sore muscles up into taut, stretched masses. Despite wanting to play lacrosse, and maybe look good enough to get a date finally, I'd made a mistake when I asked Coach for help. 

I should have known better as I watched nearly all the incoming freshman boys suddenly grow into grunting, sweating behemoths. The Dorms I'd been assigned to just 3 months ago, meant for incoming Science and Math Majors, now resembled a Frathouse. With heaving, lumbering nerds slowly losing interest in Planets and Chemicals, as they packed themselves solid in the cafeteria and snacked all throughout the day. All of us were bulking up pretty fast, and it wouldn't have been so bad, if I was unaware like the rest of the dorm!

Despite my protest, Coach slapped my back, causing an enormous belch to erupt from me. I groaned, my calloused hand going to my gut as I suddenly felt as if I were starving, what little room that belch had opened, now amplified into an insatiable hunger. Coach smirked at me, pushing one of his snack bars into my hand. I tried so hard to shake my head, to deny caloric nuke in my hand, but I found myself opening the wrapper with my teeth, biting into it and closing my eyes as the feeling of hunger subsided. Clach chuckled, putting his hand on my taut, boulder-like shoulder.

"No can do, you know the rules! All coach’s boys need their required nutrition. Don't you want to be the best? You said you wanted this, didn't you?" He said with a sneer, looking my hefty, thick-piled bulk up and down before giving my half-melon sized pec a soft punch, feeling the solid muscle under the layer of fat all of Coach's boys seemed to develop.

By the end of the year, not a single Jock in school was less than 200 lbs. The school had to cut some funding from the Science Department to cover the near mountain of new clothes, specifically shirts and shoes, as none of us fit into our original gear. I for one, ended up an XXL, lumbering around the halls and the gym at a whopping 220lbs. The entire school seemed to reek of athlete, classes with more than 2 jocks, often had some students complaining about the funk, while the girls, and gay guys tried to hide their arousal. My shoes, which consisted of sneakers and cleats, were all now size 14s, with not a single pair in the school less than a 13w.

I tried at first to get used to the size, the weight, the routine of workouts, meals, barely any time for assignments, as the school and Coach seemed hellbent on ensuring the Sports Budget was going to good use. All of us were forced to play a sport, the teams now full of grunting, sweating, aggressive young bulls hopped up on redbulls and creatine. For me, I ended up playing Football. I wanted to play Lacrosse, but coach said I had the genes for some real size, and vetoed my choice. He says by the time he's through with me, I'll be the biggest Biology major in the school. He says its what's best for me but I know why he's doing it. Because I haven't broken down like the others. I still kept my mind, and as long as I have that, the sweat, the meals, the snacks, and the grueling workouts will continue. Coach never fails, some of the sponsors say while they're eyeing us all up and down like priced bulls on a ranch.

I don't know what happens after graduation, but I'm pretty sure Weston Ridgeway, an eccentric foreign millionaire who bankrolls the Football team, has his eye on me. Coach says Ridgeway tends to like his "interns" Big, Dumb, and insatiable... I don't know how long before I fit all 3. I'm already big, and my backpack is full of shakes and snack bars proves I'm insatiable... Coach says he's got 3 years to, as he puts it, "Raise me up good and proper"

so a lil bout me if anyone wants to be moots: (i also have a backup in case i lose this acct, it’s the same username but the “e” in lethal is 3)

you 1,000% do not need to read all of this, however i truly think it is super helpful considering i was raised by a dietitian.

im pro-recovery JUST BY CHOICE NOT FORCE. so PLS JUST BLOCK DONT REPORT. we all have backups and backups for our backups. so it’s pointless. you’re breaking up a community where we get support. so fvck u if u report.

my “rexie tips n tricks” losing weight healthily yada yada yada is below the cut if you’re interested!

cw: 180lxs 81kg (i know it got out of hand 🥲)

gw: 130lxs 58kg (doing everything i can to get here by christmas)

ugw: not sure, just wanna see my b0nes. maybe 111lxs (50kg)? (gimme that angel number baybeee)

lw: 145lxs 65kg

so basically, if you do these things i can guarantee you 100% will lose weight. if you’ve plateaued, if you’re just starting out, if you’re trying to take it slow after relapsing, even if you’re petite and need a metab boost to start loosing lxs again, i’m not saying it’s good to be apart of this community but im along this ride w ya so. here u go.

1. keep your e@ting window as small as possible aka eat to live don’t live to eat (the r3xie motto 🤪). i’m f@sting minimum 16:8 and i try to extend that. but major thing is don’t beat yourself up if you can’t make it 16hrs and be happy the days you can make it longer!! esp if your just starting out.

2. stay low c@l. i’m trying my best to stay under 500 c@l/day. and consume that how it works for you. if five 100 c@l snacks over 8 hrs work best some days that’s ok. if OMAD works best, great! my mom is a dietitian and i promise, eating a little of each food group (dairy, carb ik scary, protein, veg & fruit) will help your metab which in the long run will help you l0se more weight. sometimes just having one protein bar mid day works 4 me. others i need a full meal. fuel your body or you will burn muscle which leads to organ damage.

3. don’t do LONG term fasts. i’d say up to a week with heavy liquids is okay. and not just water, incorporate broths, mio, even sugar free jello is good (if it’s clear typically it’s ok) but long term fasts can lower your metabolism, deplete electrolytes, and sodium, which long term is going to bloat you, keep weight on (or make you gain it back quickly), and overall make you feel like shit (which could lead to hospitalization)

4. don’t eat refined sugar or refined foods. do literally AS MUCH AS YOU CAN to eat sugar free and whole foods. i have a major sweet tooth so i turn to sugar free jello/pudding, sf caramels, halo top ice cream if i REALLY need it. otherwise i do sweet fruits and veggie based substitutions for carbs. i use cauliflower rice, zucchini noodles, or there���s these great hearts of palm noodles.

5. eat tons of fiber!! laxatives will help momentarily, consistent fiber will keep your 💩 regular thus keeping your body from holding onto it aka extra lxs. i add unflavored benefiber to a lot of my drinks (the flavored ones have added sugar). i honestly could promise you that fiber will help with shedding !bs.

6. drink as much water as you possibly can. yes you can become over-hydrated so add electrolytes or legit just a lil salt to your water here n there. but your body is going to retain water (!bs), and bloat if you are dehydrated. #1 thing to remember is you are depleting your body of what it wants. finding a way to basically trick it makes it easier and quicker to lose fat.

7. stay distracted! discipline and hunger may hurt now, regret and guilt are going to hurt 50x worse later. a grumbly tummy is not worth it. get some motivational phrases, tactics, distractions, that work for you and RELY ON THEM. water, i use mio in mine when i’m desperate, gum, diet soda, bubbly water, reading, tv, ANYTHING. i have other reblogs with some good motivational tactics. i also look at th!nspø as well as pics of my own body multiple times per day to keep me on track. YOU ARE NOT ALWAYS GOING TO BE MOTIVATED SO YOU MUST BE DISCIPLINED. i repeat that to myself 100000 times a day.

8. incorporate foods/drinks that speed up your metab. coffee, green tea, spicy foods (pepper, cayenne pepper), cinnamon, B12 there’s sooo many. and this goes hand in hand with making sure you’re getting your vitamins. picking up a general multivitamin will help make it so your body doesn’t want to cling onto every last cal it’s fed.

9. exercise if you are mentally & physically able to. i have some other limiting factors which make me unable to go to the gym or get as many steps in as id like. an avg day is 2k-5k steps for me rotting on the couch. i PROMISE like 100% money back guarantee (srry bad joke i swear im not a damn ana coach 🙄) your diet is 1,000,000x more important than any exercise you’re going to get in. exercise will help with toning so i try to get some laying ones done on the couch but dude you burn calories just existing. so if you eat lower than that which is 1k-2k (you can look it up it’s your TDEE) you will lose weight. it may be slightly slower than if you walked 20k steps/day or worked out 5 hrs every day but give it time.

literal str8 up proof of this^^^ is my father. he’s a gym junkie like going every morning at 4am (insanity but not my kind), but was eating a lot, and garbage. high carb and sugar intake. and even though he was working out A TON with a lot of steps/day he was gaining fat. he came to me and i told him str8 up to eat less and stop treating his body like a dumpster. eat healthier. homie is shedding lxs.

so besides all that, if you wanna be moots ill probs just vent and post th!nspø

SORRY IM A CERTIFIED YAPPER

[octuscle]

Full time barista here I’ve always been envious of the men on stage especially the heavy weights. Don’t want to over work the chronivac but help me become a muscle bull as big as jean pierre fux.

Mate, I understand you only too well…. There are few things hotter than the real heavy beefcakes. I've tried it long enough myself… But I didn't make it either. Jean Pierre is a pretty good role model… But I have an idea…

Friday morning. It's 06:00, you have to hurry, in one hour you have to prepare the first coffee. You don't have time for much more than a few situps and pushups. In the bathroom you have to hurry. You need longer and longer to conceal your receding hairline. You are now 40 years old, slowly you just notice that you are getting older. If you go out tonight to party, it will take you almost the whole Saturday to recover. The cosmetic industry has nothing effective to offer against the wrinkles in the corners of your eyes. And even if you don't need to be ashamed of your body: You won't gain much more muscle in your lifetime.

Shit, at 07:00 o'clock people are already queuing up. You hate it when you can't open the store in peace. But as it looks, it will be 10:00 o'clock, until you have the first moment of rest. In fact, it's even 10:30 when your colleague thinks you can take a break. If you need it, he adds with a wink. You look fantastic today! You take a mineral water and sit down in the warehouse. In fact, you feel pretty damn good right now. You drink the water in one go. You don't have much time for a break. And you have to piss again before the lunch business starts. Your lower jaw drops as you wash your hands. Fuck, what happened to you. There are no more receding hairlines or laugh lines. You look ten years younger than when you got up today. The only difference is that you look as if you'd spent the last ten years doing little else but lifting iron. Your T-shirt is almost blown up by your biceps and pecs. And your jeans look like they're painted on your monstrous legs. How could you not notice that? As you tie the apron back on your way back to the counter, you wonder why you were just amazed. Since your 20th birthday, you've spent every spare minute at the gym, investing every penny you earn in protein and supplements. Hell, if you didn't look the way you do, you would have wasted a hell of a lot of time and money.

The calm in your coffee bar begins to subside again. The lunch business is starting up. There's a beefcake in your line that makes you jealous. Yo, bro! he greets you. It's nice to see that there are real men working here, too. What you can recommend to him. You suggest the protein bomb. A scramble of 10 eggs with 400 grams of chicken breast. He grins and nods. And a liter of still mineral water. The bro shares your taste. While you type everything into the register, he asks you if you're all-natural. Of course you are. With the money for the meal, he slides you a card. In case you want to think about it.

It is 17:00 o'clock, when you tie off your apron. Fuck' according to your watch you have walked 12,000 steps today on the few square meters behind the counter. But it also looks like it's been a pretty good day so far. You're 20 now, and the idea of opening your own café with healthy and, above all, protein-rich food came to you when you were 16. That's when you started getting into high performance bodybuilding. And a place like this was missing at that time. And then you built this place with your mentor and trainer as a straw man. But you can't stand behind the counter for more than ten hours. Even if you are the best advertisement for your products, you have to work out at least four hours every day. Otherwise you don't stand a chance on the big stage.

You might not be one of the big ones yet… But you are on a really good way to get there. You met Jean Pierre Fux once at a fitness fair in Germany. A great role model for you. And he said that at your age he would have been a linnet compared to you. The prerequisites for a brilliant career are there. Enjoy it and make the best of it!

[pcos-and-endo-awareness]

They say it’s really how much you eat, not what you eat. So you eat less. You stop snacking. You count calories. You cut your meals in half. You try fasting.

They say it’s more about diet than exercise. So you cut out pop, quit fast food, eat more fruits and veggies, try this super health food that tastes like dirt. You avoid sweets and processed food as best you can.

They say it’s the alcohol. So even though you don’t drink much, you drink even less.

They say focus on protein. So you buy protein powders, protein bars, protein drinks. You eat eggs and salmon almost daily.

They say increase your water intake. So even though you’re hydrated enough, you drink more. More liquids but avoid the high calories. Try this new zero calorie drink and zero calorie sweetener.

They say oh but you still need to exercise more. So you walk more, bike more. Build up your stamina to go to the gym daily. Buy a fitness watch to closely track your every movement. Run so much you injure your knees.

They say but change up your routine or your body will get used to it. So you spend money on classes for yoga and Pilates, you try different equipment at the gym. You buy hula hoops and weights and restrictive bands to use at home. You look up different exercises to try and do them in the bathroom at work.

They say it’s okay to have some setbacks, just hop back on the wagon! So you do. Every time.

They say it’s your birth control. So you switch to a different kind.

They say it’s your hormone disorder, so you spend money on different supplements and specific diet books. You research your PCOS and endo, start a blog, talk to your physical therapist and doctors, just looking for *something* that will work.

They say talk to your doctor if it’s not working. But the doctor says just keep doing what you’re doing, or spend more money on these useless things.

They say pay attention to your mental health! The scale is just a number! So you try not to weigh yourself as often, or measure instead. You spend money on therapy and worry about getting an eating disorder.

They say plateaus and muscle weight gain are normal. So you keep going even though you don’t think anything is changing. Even when it’s been over a year. And. Nothing. Has. Changed.

They say keep going! But I’m tired.

Roughly a year later from ED recovery

Trigger warning ED

I had this idea of what I needed to be to please other people

And that’s been my life since I was 12.

I would eat normal portion sizes, not binge, but then still purge. And I felt morbidly proud of myself for it. Figuring out how to stick a toothbrush down my throat to vomit.

Honestly that might contribute to my anxiety around throwing up.

I mean I feel nauseous and start having a panic attack which inevitably makes me throw up anyway.

Eating an egg white and a couple berries for breakfast isn’t healthy.

Drinking protein shakes and sparkling water to hide hunger ques isn’t healthy.

Working out multiple times a day and doing so much cardio I was crying isn’t healthy.

Getting weird alternatives when you want food because it’s ’healthier’. The food is healthier than the 50 cent pasta. Edamame pasta is healthier. Zucchini noodles are healthier. Banza chickpea pasta is healthier (I actually like Banza but it falls apart if it gets put in the fridge)

Halo top ice cream is kind of jsut gross. It was really powedery when k got it last.

I seen some people not know how to eat normal amount of ice cream after eating pint fulls of halo top.

I couldn’t stomach more than a couple bites of halo top though.

And hated ice cream because kf it.

I don’t like bread, and I’m allergic to gluten anyway, but lite bread literally made me hate bread.

If all you’re eating is unseasoned Brussel sprouts and tofu, you’re gonna get bored.

I couldn’t bring myself to make actual meals because going over 700 calories made me sick.

So I jsut stopped eating instead.

Because it food had to be gross I jsut didn’t want it.

I’m not sure when it fully changed, and my mindset was finally recovered. But sometime in the last year I went from 100% to 25% terrified of food.

I was weighing myself every single morning. And cuz I was drinking water, working out, and yk. Not eating because it was gross. Lost roughly 7 pounds the first week, 10 pounds the next.

I did gain some of the weight I lost back after eating normal amounts and getting back to weight lifting.

Last June I cried and gagged my birthday cake back up because someone said something.

“That cake is 16 servings, so make sure you only eat a sliver” one of those carrot cake bar-cakes from whole foods. Cuz I’m one person, and nobody I know likes carrot cake.

Two bites of a carrot cake and feeling absolutely disguising that I got vegan takeout because it was my BIRTHDAY

I cried in the days leading up to my birthday becuwse I had people that wanted to celebrate and I just felt disgusting.

I felt like an ugly fat pig, I felt old. Once you’re an adult every year is a ticking time bomb is what I was taught.

I got grey hairs along my hairline and pimples on my chin. Best of both worlds.

I was overworking out. I couldn’t weight lift. I had no strength and lost a lot of muscle. I hated cardio when I once lover running and hiking. Because I thought I had to do it with an extra 45-60 pounds on my chest

I stopped doing the weighted vest when working out and doing cardio because it was cutting my neck and shoulders.

At that time I was basing self love off what the scale said in the morning. Down one pound? You can be happy today

Up .5 ounces on your period?! You have to hate yourself. How dare you gain weight? Up the cardio. Try weights.

I was sitting in the gym weightlifting one day and just started crying. Like uncontrollably. I mean tears were pouring down my face and I didn’t know why. I was tired that’s why.

I spent so much time hating myself and obsessing over food and working out and what the scale said that I was miserable.

Not being enough for people I wanted the validation from.

It fucked my brain up

I was on a lot of meds too at that time

I was dealing with insomnia, in an abusive relationship, and out of my mind between sleep deprivation, malnourishment and overworking out I almost killed my self and barely remember it. Like just wasn’t there.

I was so tired. I don’t deal with insomnia and I only get nightmares on my period now.

Also learned it’s okay to not workout some days. It’s okay to eat a comfort meal. It’s okay if your caloric intake is over 1,200

I have chronic pain from a back injury

Sometimes my workout is a long walk and physical therapy because physically I’d harm myself doing anything more.

And all this to say, recovery doesn’t happen overnight. Especially if you’ve been struggling for years. Nobody is expecting you to be perfect.

If you slip up, and fall into old ED hah it’s it’s okay, you can fix it. You know what works when you’ve been in recovery. Baby steps.

Cuz allll of that. Happened for years. And over the last year, slowly happened less and less. And just minimised itself more and more.

Anyway.

AU where Catra gets SWOLE

Ok, so Catra, during her usual staring-at-adora-time(Shut up kyle, 5 hours is a perfectly reasonable time to watch your totally platonic best friend), she notices Adora doing some staring of her own,

specifically at the newly promoted force captain's muscles.

What the hell!

That should be HER Adora is staring at! Because if she isn't Catra might betray and stab her, obviously, you know those Hordesmen, always...stabbing,

There's only one solution for this!

"Hey you! Stabby! Train me to get MASCLES BIG MACHO!"

Force captain Scorpia seeing this barely 13 year old who seems to appreciate all the extra hours she's putting in at the training rooms"Aw, ok little buddy"

Cut to a year later and not only has she put on an extra 40 pounds of muscle, but also a solid foot from Scorpia sneaking her extra ration bars(Can't get them gains if you don't get that protein little buddy)

This doesn't actually affect the main story in any way, but it does make it significantly Harder for Adora to fight her. And everyone else. literally every princess wants to fuck her. and maybe surrender occasionally, in hopes of a good torture session

Except Entrapta and Frosta. She can acknowledge that Catra's muscles are empirically hot, but Hordak's dick has a built in vibrate function and she just can't give that up

[shesbackagain]

Omg !! Thank you thank you thank you!! For answering! You are such an Angel!😭🩷🩷! When I ask most girls, they don’t reply 😭! So thank you so much!

I have an okay butt! But only due to genetics too🥲(thank you family 🫶🏾) ! But lately, it’s been looking a little less firm. So I’ve been working out since august of last year! And finally! I’m seeing some progress! Barely you know. It’s taken me on such a roller coaster of emotions and self doubt if I should even go to the gym 😭 but thank goodness I did not give up! I’ve been waking up at 5 am to go!! Changing my eating habits, and eating less processed foods/ incorporating a bit of protein! And it’s finally paying off 😭!

So! When I stumbled upon your blog and absolutely wow! You are beyond inspiring! You are so pretty!😭🩷. (Please I’m not a creep, I swear they’re compliments 😭) like your cake is so firm and perky, and lifted! And the shape is just wow! Like my mouth dropped when I saw your pictures! You are so so beautiful! ✨.

My upper body isn’t the best either 😅🥲. But i prioritize it just because I have too😭. But I’ll incorporate more of the hip abduction/adduction, and hyperextension!! I usually avoid those because I’m so shy to use the machines 😭😂. Like I usually grab my weights and bar and go into a little corner of a room! But I’ll give them a try!💪🏼.

Same here I don’t have a fixed workout plan either! And you are absolutely so right about not seeing how far we’ve come with seeing what our body can endure. Or do workouts that used to be difficult at the beginning, but know they’ve become easier🩷 Like it just made sense to me, that I’ve been working out since august of 2023! And barely this month is where I have felt at my happiest and lightest emotionally. My body can finally keep up 😭. My body is looking different and I love how I’m changing physically 🥹.

But thank you so much for answering my ask! It means so much to me! I’m so sorry I’m like spilling my emotions here 😅. It just means a lot. And you are absolutely so nice and sweet and you look good!😁🩷

By any chance,(sorry to bother 🥲) would you mind sharing what your protein intake? 🩷 is it mostly through foods, or are you also taking a specific protein powder? 😯

No worries! I'm happy to help in any way I can 🤗

Congrats on those 8 months going to the gym!!!!!!!!!!🎉🎉🎉 You should be proud of yourself for sticking with it 😊😊😊 I'm a newbie too, I've started going to the gym on September 23' 💪

I know it's hard to keep going because I felt so anxious and dumb and out of place at the beginning of this journey 🫣 so I'm happy for you and myself haha creating a habit is difficult!!!!!! 😤

I'm glad you are finally seeing progress and it's a big part of staying motivated to keep working out and eat more home cooked meals and all the healthy stuff we try to do even if we don't succeed all the time 😂

Thank you for the compliments I appreciate them 💖

Today I did some upper body workout and ugh 😩 it's always like 'am I doing enough?' because I don't feel that strong haha my goal is to do pull ups one day 🙌🙌🙌🙌

You should try those exercises, I know I'm shy too and sometimes I don't want to be in front of everyone but I suck it up and do it and to be honest I've been saying to myself that I'll try squats on the Smith machine for ages and I haven't had the courage to do it yet just to not make a fool of myself 🫣🥲 so I get it

About the protein intake I couldn't tell because the only thing I do is to be more mindful of what I eat and I try to eat a good amount of protein with every meal. But yes, I use protein powder too, sometimes I have a protein shake with some fruit or baked oats with the protein powder or with yogurt but mostly when I think that I haven't eaten that much protein or if I have had workout that day. What I've been told is that if you're trying to gain muscle you should eat around 2 grams per kilo of protein depending on your weight 🤓

(I take myprotein whey powder)

Thank you for sharing your gym story with me ☺️

Low budget in losing weight: pt. 1 - food

As somebody, who grew up on the chubbier and over-weight side the entirety of my life, I can say that I have tried the easiest, the hardest, the middle, the expensive and the cheapest ways of losing weight.

I'm not a professional, I'm not a gym rat or extremely into diets. I'm a normal 23 year old, who eats as normally as I can when it comes to losing weight and throughout the last 5 years, I had realised a lot of things that comes with it.

First thing is that I am quite heavy, when it comes to the scale (101,7kg) but I want to point out that at my height (171cm), I should be 65kg. I can say, that I have been that weight and it didn't suit me at all. My family has always been like stronger women, not in the obese way but my aunts and my mom, we all have strong thighs or big breast. I also have chubbier hands on my dad's side (which, he likes to call it "worker's hands"), so when it comes to your body, you should always include your genetics because in the process of losing weight, the genetics play a big role. Such, with me, coming from a line of strong, bigger women, I cannot have less than 75kg because then I look sick and dried up. Also my imune system is horrible and my hair began to fall out during my weightloos journey back in 2020. My hands will always look chubby and my thighs will always be big. It's genetics. So, the scale, shows how you weigh, not how obese you are. That should also include the fact that in the process of losing fat and gaining muscles, you will get havier because muscle mass is heavier than fat. The number on the scale is irrelevant when it comes your weight-loss journey because all in all, you want to have a toner and more defined body, which shows even if the number on the scale increases.

If you are a beginner of all beginners at all of this, the first week is the hardest. The first week, you probably won't eat healthy, you would probably eat sugar still, eat more meals than you should because you are not used to controlling your intake. That doesn't mean you are failing, it just means that you are trying and that is the process of healthier lifestyle.

Now, I haven't really grew up with a lot of money so salmon, avocados, those expensive proteins- that didn't really play into my journey. I was devestated because I thought it was a big block in my journey. Reality check- it isn't.

There are high protein foods though (eggs, tuna, protein bars, chicken etc.) and foods strong in fiber (apples, oats,...). If you're not a fan of it, you don't have to eat oatmeal every morning. Don't force yourself to eat something you don't want to. Balance it. Today I ate bread, mayo, pork salami and cheese. No eggs, no oats. Oh, and a chocolate pudding. You know why? Because it's breakfast and breakfast is king of all meals. The best thing you should do is start eating breakfast because you will be less hungry in the evening, not eating or snacking after 8pm. At breakfast, you break fast, so you should eat somehing strong to keep your energy levels high throughout the day.

Balancing food in the process of trying to lose weight is actually a struggle. You cannot snap your fingers and decide the next day that from that moment on you will eat healthier. Every food is healthy. Understand that. Oats are just as healthy as bread. Apple can increase your insulin levels just as chocolate can. The only difference is the intake. If you eat too much of chocolate, you'll feel sick but if you also eat too much of apple, you'll feel sick. People are used to over-eating. That's why the first week is the hardest, because you will continue the habit of over-eating but in your second week, your body will start to force you to stop over-eating.

How to Gain Weight: Best Diet for Weight Gain

When we often think about health and fitness, the focus tends to be on losing weight. However, there are individuals who struggle with the opposite problem—gaining weight. Just as weight loss requires a balanced approach, so does weight gain. In this blog post, we'll discuss how to gain weight and provide you with the best diet for weight gain, as recommended by the fitness and wellness organization Fitmorphs.

Understanding Weight Gain:

Before diving into the best diet for weight gain, it's essential to understand the basic principle behind it. Weight gain occurs when you consume more calories than your body burns. Therefore, the key is to focus on calorie surplus and choose nutrient-dense foods to ensure that the weight gained is in the form of lean muscle mass.

Best Diet for Weight Gain:

Increase Caloric Intake: To gain weight, you need to consume more calories than your body requires. Start by calculating your daily caloric needs and gradually increase your intake by 300-500 calories per day.

Balanced Macronutrients: A balanced diet is crucial for weight gain. Focus on consuming an adequate amount of protein, carbohydrates, and healthy fats. Fitmorphs recommends a macronutrient ratio of approximately 30% protein, 50% carbohydrates, and 20% healthy fats.

Protein-Rich Foods: Protein is essential for muscle growth and repair. Include lean meats, poultry, fish, eggs, dairy products, legumes, and plant-based protein sources like tofu and tempeh in your diet.

Complex Carbohydrates: Opt for complex carbohydrates, such as whole grains, oats, brown rice, quinoa, and sweet potatoes. These provide sustained energy and are rich in fiber, vitamins, and minerals.

Healthy Fats: Incorporate healthy fats into your diet, including avocados, nuts, seeds, olive oil, and fatty fish like salmon. These fats are calorie-dense and offer numerous health benefits.

Frequent Meals and Snacks: Instead of three large meals, aim for five to six smaller meals throughout the day. Include nutrient-dense snacks, such as nuts, yogurt, protein bars, and fruits, to meet your increased caloric needs.

Hydration: Don't forget the importance of staying hydrated. Drink plenty of water throughout the day to support overall health and facilitate digestion.

Resistance Training: Combine your dietary efforts with a well-designed resistance training program. Building lean muscle mass is crucial for healthy weight gain. Consult a fitness professional for a personalized workout plan.

Conclusion:

Gaining weight requires a thoughtful approach that focuses on healthy, nutrient-dense foods and a well-structured workout routine. Remember, everyone's body is different, and it's important to listen to your body's signals and adjust your diet and exercise routine accordingly. By following the tips outlined in this blog post, you can embark on a successful weight gain journey while maintaining overall health and wellness. For personalized guidance, consider consulting a registered dietitian or fitness expert who can provide tailored advice based on your specific needs and goals. With dedication and consistency, you can achieve your weight gain goals and improve your overall well-being. When it comes to how to gain weight in a healthy way, FITMORPHS got you covered.

Of course, that’s easier said than done. With work, family, and social obligations, it can be hard to find the time and motivation to hit the gym or cook a healthy meal.

But don’t despair – there are plenty of small changes you can make to your daily routine that will help you shed those unwanted pounds. Here are 7 easy ways to lose weight and get on the path to a healthier you.

2. Eat more fruits and vegetables

3. Get enough protein

4. Avoid sugary drinks

5. Avoid refined carbs

6. Get enough sleep

7. Be active

1. Cut out processed foods

One of the best ways to lose weight is to cut out processed foods. Processed foods are usually high in calories and low in nutrients, so they can contribute to weight gain. They’re also often high in sodium, which can cause water retention and bloating.

To make sure you’re not eating too many processed foods, check the labels when you’re grocery shopping. Avoid anything that has a long list of ingredients, or anything that contains partially hydrogenated oils, high fructose corn syrup, or other unhealthy additives.

You should also try to cook more meals at home using fresh ingredients. This can be a bit more time-consuming than buying processed foods, but it’s worth it if you’re trying to lose weight. Homemade meals are usually lower in calories and unhealthy ingredients than their processed counterparts.

If you do eat processed foods, be sure to balance them out with healthy choices. For example, if you have processed food for breakfast, make sure your lunch and dinner are full of fresh, whole foods. And, of course, don’t forget to exercise regularly and stay hydrated!

2. Eat more fruits and vegetables

Fruits and vegetables are not only low in calories, but they are also high in fiber. Fiber helps to keep you feeling full, so you are less likely to overeat. Fruits and vegetables are also high in nutrients, including vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. All of these nutrients are essential for good health.

Eating more fruits and vegetables is one of the best ways to lose weight and improve your health. To make it easy to eat more fruits and vegetables, keep them on hand and make them part of every meal. Add a sliced apple to your oatmeal, top your salad with diced avocado, or eat a side of roasted vegetables with your dinner.

You can also get your fill of fruits and vegetables by drinking them in smoothie form. Add a banana, some berries, and a cup of spinach to your blender and you’ll have a delicious and nutritious smoothie that will help you reach your weight loss goals.

3. Get enough protein

Getting enough protein can be one of the most effective ways to lose weight. Protein helps to keep you feeling full longer, boosts your metabolism, and helps to build lean muscle mass. All of these factors can lead to weight loss.

How much protein you need depends on your weight, gender, and activity level. The general recommendation is to consume 0.8 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight. So, for a 150-pound person that would be about 55 grams of protein per day. Active people or those looking to build muscle may need closer to 1 gram per kilogram of body weight.

You can get protein from a variety of sources, including meat, poultry, fish, dairy, eggs, legumes, nuts, and seeds. It’s important to mix up your sources of protein to get all the essential amino acids your body needs. Aim to include protein at every meal and snack.

If you’re having trouble meeting your protein needs, there are a few supplements you can try. Protein powders, bars, and drinks are convenient and easy ways to increase your intake. Just be sure to choose products that are low in sugar and calories.

4. Avoid sugary drinks

If you want to lose weight, one of the things you should avoid is sugary drinks. This includes sodas, energy drinks, and even some fruit juices. Though they may seem harmless, these drinks can add a lot of sugar and calories to your diet.

Sugary drinks are often high in calories, but low in nutrients. This means that you can end up taking in a lot of empty calories when you drink them. They can also cause spikes in your blood sugar levels, which can lead to cravings and increased hunger.

If you’re trying to lose weight, it’s best to avoid sugary drinks altogether. You can opt for water, unsweetened tea, or sparkling water instead. These drinks are all low in calories and can help you stay hydrated throughout the day.

5. Avoid refined carbs

When it comes to weight loss, refined carbs are the enemy. These are the types of carbs that have been processed and stripped of their nutrients, making them essentially worthless in terms of helping your body function.

Refined carbs are found in a lot of processed foods, including white bread, pastries, cakes, and even some healthy-sounding snacks like granola bars. They can also be found in some seemingly healthy foods like fruit juices and sports drinks.

The trouble with refined carbs is that they cause your blood sugar to spike, which leads to sugar cravings and eventually weight gain. They also don’t provide your body with any real nutrition, so you end up feeling hungry soon after eating them.

If you’re serious about losing weight, you need to avoid refined carbs as much as possible. This means making some changes to your diet and being more mindful of the foods you’re eating.

Instead of white bread, opt for whole wheat or grain bread. Choose brown rice over white rice, and steel-cut oats instead of instant oatmeal. If you’re craving something sweet, have a piece of fruit or a small snack that contains natural sugars instead of eating a processed dessert.

It takes a bit of effort to avoid refined carbs, but it’s worth it if you want to lose weight and improve your overall health.

6. Get enough sleep

We all know that defined cheekbones and a slender waistline can make us look fabulous, but what many of us don’t realize is that losing weight can also be beneficial for our health. Getting enough sleep is one way to help boost your metabolism and promote weight loss.

When we’re tired, our bodies tend to make choices that lead to weight gain. For instance, we’re more likely to reach for unhealthy snacks instead of fruits or vegetables, and we’re less likely to have the energy to go for a walk or hit the gym. When we don’t get enough shut-eye, our bodies produce more of the hormone ghrelin, which increases our appetites, and we also have less of the hormone leptin, which tells us when we’re full.

A lack of sleep can also lead to cravings for high-calorie foods. When we’re sleep-deprived, our brains are more likely to crave foods that are high in fat and sugar. This is because these foods give us a quick burst of energy, which is what we need when we’re tired.

So, how much sleep do we need in order to see weight-loss benefits? Experts recommend that adults get seven to eight hours of sleep per night. But, if you’re trying to lose weight, you may need even more. A recent study found that people who slept for nine hours per night and took in fewer calories during the day lost more weight than those who slept for eight hours.

If you’re having trouble sleeping, there are a few things you can do to help yourself fall asleep and stay asleep. First, create a bedtime routine and stick to it. This could include taking a relaxing bath, reading a book, or spending a few minutes writing down your thoughts in a journal. You should also avoid caffeine and alcohol before bed, as these can make it difficult to fall asleep. And, finally, make sure your bedroom is dark, quiet, and cool—a space that’s conducive to sleep.

7. Be active

If you want to lose weight, being active is one of the best things you can do. You don’t have to go to the gym to be active; there are tons of other ways to get moving. Here are a few ideas:

• Take a dance class

• Go for a walk or run outside

• Ride your bike

• Do some yard work

• Play with your kids

Being active doesn’t have to be hard work. You can start slow and work your way up. Just remember that the more you move, the more calories you’ll burn, and the more weight you’ll lose.

Losing weight can be a difficult and frustrating process, but it is possible to achieve results by making some simple changes to your lifestyle. By following the tips in this article, you can make a commitment to lose weight and improve your health in the process.

Lose Weight the Healthy Way with Plant-Based Protein Powder

In the world of health and fitness, protein is a key nutrient, especially when it comes to weight loss and muscle maintenance. While whey protein is a popular option, plant-based protein powders have gained momentum as a healthier and more sustainable alternative. Whether you’re vegan, lactose-intolerant, or just looking for a clean source of protein, choosing the best plant-based protein powder can offer a range of benefits, including aiding weight loss. In this blog, we’ll explore how to find the best plant-based protein powder and how it can support your weight management journey.

Why Plant-Based Protein Powder?

Plant-based protein powders are derived from various sources like peas, brown rice, hemp, and chia seeds. Unlike animal-based proteins, these products are free from lactose, making them easier to digest and less likely to cause bloating or discomfort. What’s more, they’re packed with essential nutrients, fiber, and antioxidants, all of which can contribute to overall health.

But how does this relate to weight loss? Let’s dive in.

How Plant-Based Protein Powder Supports Weight Loss

Choosing the right plant-based protein powder for weight loss can be a game-changer if you're trying to shed a few pounds. Here’s why:

Low in Calories but High in Nutrition: Plant-based protein powders are typically lower in calories compared to their animal-based counterparts. They offer a high-quality protein source without adding unnecessary fats or sugars.

Boosts Metabolism: Protein helps increase the body’s metabolic rate. A high-protein diet requires more energy for digestion, helping you burn more calories throughout the day.

Promotes Satiety: One of the key benefits of using a plant-based protein powder for weight loss is its ability to keep you full for longer. Protein takes longer to digest, reducing hunger cravings and preventing overeating.

Supports Muscle Maintenance: When you’re cutting calories, it’s crucial to maintain muscle mass to ensure you’re losing fat, not muscle. The best plant-based protein powder provides essential amino acids that aid muscle repair and growth.

What to Look for in the Best Plant-Based Protein Powder

Not all protein powders are created equal. To find the best plant-based protein powder, you’ll want to consider the following factors:

Protein Source: Look for high-quality protein sources like pea, brown rice, hemp, and chia. These offer complete proteins or complementary amino acid profiles, ensuring your body gets all the essential nutrients.

Low in Sugar and Additives: A clean protein powder should be free from artificial sweeteners, colors, and preservatives. These additives can cause inflammation and derail your weight loss efforts.

Digestibility: Choose a protein powder that is easy to digest and doesn’t cause bloating or discomfort. Proteins like pea and rice are known for their smooth digestibility.

Additional Nutrients: The best plant-based protein powders often come fortified with added vitamins, minerals, and superfoods like spirulina or flaxseeds, which further enhance their nutritional value.

How to Use Plant-Based Protein Powder for Weight Loss

Incorporating a plant-based protein powder for weight loss into your daily routine is easy and versatile. Here are a few ways you can add it to your diet:

Smoothies: Add a scoop of your favorite plant-based protein powder to a fruit or green smoothie for a filling and nutritious breakfast or snack.

Post-Workout Shakes: After a workout, a plant-based protein shake can help repair muscle and support recovery, while also promoting fat loss.

Baking: Incorporate plant-based protein into your healthy baking recipes. From protein pancakes to energy bars, the possibilities are endless.

Conclusion: Choose the Best Plant-Based Protein Powder for Weight Loss

If you’re looking to lose weight while maintaining muscle and staying energized, plant-based protein powders are a fantastic option. At Good Nutrition, we offer the best plant-based protein powder for weight loss, carefully formulated to provide you with the nutrients you need without unnecessary fillers or additives. Whether you’re new to plant-based protein or a long-time user, choosing the right supplement can accelerate your weight loss journey while supporting your overall health.

Applications of Glycine in Food and Beverage Industry

At Avid Organics, we are at the forefront of providing specialized chemicals that are transforming various industries, including food and beverages. One of our key products is glycine, an amino acid that plays an essential role in multiple applications across industries, especially in the glycine industry. From enhancing flavors to acting as a food preservative, glycine is making its mark in both natural and processed food items.

What is Glycine?

Glycine, often referred to as the simplest amino acid, has gained significant attention due to its versatile applications in the glycine industry. It is naturally present in protein-rich foods such as meat, fish, dairy products, and legumes, but the need for glycine in processed foods has surged, driven by consumer demand for better flavor profiles and nutritional benefits. At Avid Organics, we produce high-quality glycine that complies with international safety and quality standards, ensuring its suitability for the food and beverage industry.

Key Applications of Glycine in Food and Beverages

1. Flavor Enhancement: Glycine plays a vital role in enhancing the taste of various food products. It is commonly used in seasoning blends, soups, and sauces to bring out a more balanced and rounded flavor. The glycine industry has identified its sweetness, about 70% as sweet as sugar, making it an excellent addition to enhance flavor profiles without the need for added sugars. At Avid Organics, we ensure that our glycine is of the highest purity, providing the best results in flavor enhancement.

2. Protein Fortification: In the food and beverage industry, glycine is used to fortify protein-rich products. Protein supplements, health drinks, and protein bars often contain glycine to improve the nutritional value and digestibility of the product. The glycine industry is continually evolving, with new research demonstrating the positive impact of glycine on muscle development and overall health, making it an ideal ingredient in fitness and wellness products.

3. Preservative Function: Glycine has shown promise as a food preservative due to its ability to inhibit microbial growth. As the glycine industry focuses on creating more natural and safe alternatives to synthetic preservatives, glycine stands out as an excellent option. At Avid Organics, our glycine is used in various food preservation applications, ensuring that processed foods stay fresher for longer while maintaining their nutritional value.

4. pH Regulation: Glycine’s buffering properties make it a valuable ingredient in regulating the pH of food products, particularly in beverages. The glycine industry utilizes its ability to stabilize acidic and alkaline environments, making it suitable for use in carbonated drinks, fruit juices, and certain dairy products. By keeping the pH levels in check, glycine ensures better shelf life and consistency in food and drink products.

5. Health Benefits: Beyond its technical applications, glycine offers health benefits, contributing to a balanced diet. It is involved in the production of collagen, which supports healthy skin, bones, and joints. The glycine industry has tapped into this growing awareness of functional foods, and Avid Organics is at the forefront of developing glycine-based solutions that enhance the health benefits of everyday foods.

Sustainability and Quality at Avid Organics

At Avid Organics, sustainability is at the core of everything we do. Our glycine production aligns with our commitment to environmental responsibility and innovation. As the glycine industry moves toward more eco-friendly solutions, we ensure that our production processes use renewable energy sources and comply with global quality standards such as ISO 14000.

Future of Glycine in the Food Industry

The future of glycine looks promising, with new applications emerging in functional foods, sports nutrition, and natural preservatives. Avid Organics continues to innovate in the glycine industry, focusing on research and development to unlock new potentials for glycine in the food and beverage sector.

In conclusion, glycine is a versatile ingredient with multiple applications in the food and beverage industry, from flavor enhancement to pH regulation.
