Hey guys, Well, all the hard work is finally about to pay off as I head to the beach for the first time this year...anyways, my question is I've been following a relatively low carb, high protein diet for a while, but I was wondering if it would benefit me to maybe carb load before the beach to...

RED SOX/YANKEES! Too bad none of you guys are from New England...the Yankees are in town, and already the first 2 games have been the shit! A Sox/Yanks game is like no other in baseball...oh and by the way... YANKEES SUCK!!!

Here's what I do, and I love it: Add some Splenda, Equal, or some artificial sweetner and a little bit of sugar-free chocolate syrup....tastes awesome!!!

It's Heinz....15 calories per 1 tablespoon, 4 grams of carbs (all sugar due to high fructose corn syrup I'm guessing) My cutting diet now is fairly strict, but I just want to make sure I'm not screwing it up by using the ketchup.

Ok, I put ketchup on all my salads instead of salad dressings. But how bad/good is ketchup for you? I'm curious because I'm cutting right now and I'm trying to get rid of anything that could screw it up. Thanks. -jcregs

I hear ya man...I come almost from the same boat... In high school I was very active in sports and school, and never had a weight problem...until I got to college. I gained the freshman 30 eating crappy dining hall food, junk food, smoking weed and drinking every weekend. Entering sophomore...

1 gram Carbs=4 calories 1 gram Protein=4 calories 1 gram Fat=9 calories

OK, so what suggestions do you think I should make to my diet to add more calories to keep strength and muscle, but to strip fat as well?

Sorry my other stats: 5'11, 195-200lbs.

Hey everyone, I just got my body fat tested today, and it came out to be a little over 10%. I'm wondering what I need to do just to lower it by only a percent or more (to only 8 or 9 percent) and retain as much muscle as possible. I follow a diet where I eat carbs and protein with my first...

YOUR AB WORKOUT? Hi Missy, I've seen many of your posts on your cardio and diet that seem to be in check, but have you looked at your ab routine? Maybe it's too easy for you...I know that I usually use weights or a steeper decline to really work those abs and get the muscles popping. Like I...

-3/4 cup low-fat cottage cheese -1 to 1.5 scoops of whey protein powder (vanilla, chocolate, strawberry work well) -2-4 tablespoons fat-free cool whip 1 tablespoon flax oil -top w/ some sugar-free syrup JUST LIKE ICE CREAM...BUT BETTER AND GOOD FOR YOU!!! -jcregs

Well right now I'm cutting (i'm 5'11, about 193-194 lbs.), just want to get the body fat down a little before spring break next month...should i still be doing morning cardio or should i just do a little after lifting later in the day? (i do 35-40 minutes, keeping intensity medium to high...

1) I can't make up my mind and need a definitive answer: should I be doing morning cardio on empty stomach or morning cardio w/ a protein shake before (to supposedly save muscle and burn fat)? 2) I use a LOT of sugar substitutues (Splenda, Equal) during the day (for coffee, oatmeal...

Hey DTM, I'm a college journalism student myself with all eyes toward spring break. Here's what I eat (plenty of protein), and I have actually made small muscle gains while simultaneously dropping body fat over the past few months. Meal 1: (breakfast)1/2 cup oatmeal and egg beaters/eggwhites...
