I suppose it is different for everyone. I really think it also depends on what kind of shape you were in to begin with. For example, if someone used to eat fast food a lot and was never into training hard, then as an adult they started getting into fitness, working out and and changed over to...

I would say 60% training and 40% nutrition. When I am doing cardio 3 times a week (usually running 2-5 miles) I don't feel guilty about eating ice cream or pizza once in a while, because it won't affect the way I look or feel. I do generally eat a healthy diet though, but I don't count calories...

Well, there are other fish in the sea. LOL :)

Multivitamins make me very nauseous unless I take them with a big meal. And I don't always eat big meal, I prefer to eat a bunch of little meals throughout the day. Sometimes the little meals are not enough to keep the vitamins from making me nauseous. I have tried several different brands. I...

Mercury in Tuna? I used to eat a lot of tuna, but I have read several news articles in the last year that say canned tuna is high in mercury due to the polluted ocean, and that we shouldn't eat more than a can a week. Especially women of child bearing age, and kids under 13, because it causes...

Thanks for the interesting article. So I am guessing that in summary, it is saying we should eat less sugar and less carbs, that we should be eating a lot fewer than the food pyramid recommends. I have 2 questions: 1) The author mentioned something about resistance training increasing...

Sorry, no pic. It was just a show that was on the other day. I don't know the name of it. It also had these 2 idiot teen girls who got liposuction all over themselves instead of just going to the gym. Maybe one of them would go out with calf-boy, LOL. Maybe the MTV web site has pics?

It was a show that featured all these people getting cosmetic surgery. The kid was such a bonehead. He was walking around after the surgery bragging about how awesome he looked and how he now had "everything" to offer to the ladies. Hahahaha like any girl in her right mind would ever go out...

The only fast food I like is pizza. And the shakes from McDonalds/Burger King. Cheeseburgers gross me out.

Someone at the gym told me that your body needs egg yolk to efficiently use some of the nutrition in the white, because they are designed to work together. Anyone else heard this? I usually make a 4-egg omelet but I use only 2 yolks.

My mom is the butter QUEEN! Yuck! I am really glad to see this thread. My Mom practically lives to cook for us which is very kind of her, but she has a really warped sense of nutrition. She thinks sugared cereals are the worst thing in the world, yet she is the butter QUEEN. She loads all of...

There are so many theories on this. I have read you should strive to get your body weight in protein grams, I have also heard from some people that this is way too much. What is everyone's opinion on this? Especially from the ladies, how much protein do you get? I like to work out a few times...

I like oatmeal or hot cereal like Wheateena of Cream of Wheat. I have this as an afternoon snack at about 3:00 when you get that carb craving. At Wild harvest-type stores you can get a huge bag of oats, they are the good kind that don't turn all gluey. I make mine by bringing skim milk almost to...

thanks! Thanks for the advice!

I have been thinking about getting started in fitness competition and possibly fitness modelling, and I was wondering if anyone here has done it and if so do you have any advice? I was a gymnast for a long time and this looks like something I might be interested in doing and might be good at...
