Why is it so important to eat 6 meals a day?? Isn't this theory just a myth?
What are the tips/tools of doing things differently based on your bodytype (endo, meso, ecto)?? If I am an endo, for example, is it a much better attack plan to be cycling calories and carbs??

These are/were some of mine. Some of them may not be appropriate.
- Heavy weight - few reps vs. light weight - many reps
- Running & knee problems - elliptical, treadmill, dirt and sand
- What are some exercises I can do at home without hitting the gym?
- Is flavored water OK to drink?
- Is diet soda OK to drink?
- Body fat % and how it is calculated.
- What type of classes should I consider at the gym if they are offered?
- There are many machines at the gym that new people recognize. Most people know what a recumbant elliptical bike or treadmill is. There is also some equipment that nearly every gym has but aren't known by those who aren't "in the know". List their names, what they are used for, how using the machine offers benefits over using free weights, etc.
- What NOT to do... lift uncomfortable weight, use bad form to complete your set, overuse supps, etc. NORMALLY common sense stuff but I am a "cover all bases" type of person.
My last suggestion is something of personal importance to me. Stretching. I can't even begin to describe how important I think it is. However, improper stretching can lead to injury so a good "guide" on proper stretches or even just links to other forum topics would be very nice. I have, like nearly all people, had to deal with the most annoying of injuries. Sprained ankles, aching knees and elbows, pulled muscles, etc. Some simple suggestions for dealing with these common "non-serious" injuries would be great... It is almost gauranteed everyone will experience each of them.
PS... when running a large block in town, twisting your ankle on the exact opposite part of the block from your stopping point is the most horrible thing EVER.

Hi all,
I noticed people were getting away from the "cut/paste, then add" format to the questions list, so I figured try to put it all together now to save someone the trouble later on. It really is much easier to read when it's all together, IMHO. Plus, I'm bored.
Duplicates eliminated, some questions edited for clarity. Grouped by poster, my additions in bold.
1. How can I lose fat and gain muscle at the same time?
2. How many cals can/should I eat?

6. Is it OK to drink milk while cutting?
7. How much Protein per day?
8. What is dextrose and/or maltodextrin?

13. What/Why Flax Seed and Fish Oil?
15. What are some Helpful Resource Sites?
16. Best Bed Time Snack?
17. Carbs + Fats Same time or no?
18. Apples Or Bananas?
19. Best Form of Cardio? HIIT Or 45Mins?
20. Cardio AM or PM?
21. Are diet-cheat days ok? Necessary?
22. Should I eat breakfast? Or, when should I?
23. Meals vs. Snacks -- how many and how far apart?
24. How do I know if I'm burning fat, carb or muscle?
25. Can I really burn more fat on a ketogenic diet rather than an isocaloric diet containing carbs?
26. If so, why doesn't eveyone diet in ketogenic fashion?
27. If not, what benefit do no carb diets give you?
28. Should I cycle carbs? If so what does it mean?
29. If I do A.M. cardio on a empty stomach, when do I eat and what should I eat?

47. Types, names, uses of gym equipment? (free vs machine, cardio, etc.)
48. What NOT to do? (lift uncomfortable weight, use bad form to complete your set, overuse supps, etc.)
49. Useful stretching practices?
50. Difference between male and female diets?
51. Best way for a woman to lose fat vs a man?
52. Are there food sources for dextrose?
53. What is creatine? Is it useful/detrimental while cutting?
