Nutrition for boxing

dont try to cut out rice all together as it is a staple part of your diet try to cut down on portion size's and if you do want to take rice try different sources of carbs like pasta wholmeal bread etc

 

Nutritionists might recommend brown rice instead of white rice...

 

How do I tell my family that I'm eating my own food at family gatherings without being a dick?

 

I've decided to return to my old form when I was training consistently as an amateur boxer. However, during my long period of downtime I've developed a taste for a daily Americano. I do try to stick to just a single shot, with some soy milk to top it off. But since I do drink these fairly regularly (5-6) times a week, I was just curious whether I'm being nutritionally sound or not (I am a vegatarian who eats well, but am going to follow the nutritional guide fairly closely).

I am also trying to lose quite a bit of added weight. So the question is, should I cut them out completely, or as long I'm working out daily and eating healthy can I afford myself the luxury? I'm clueless as to how bad espresso can be on you (and losing weight).

 

What is your opinion about the frozen meals.. Like Lean Cuisine or Healthy Choice...

Would it be ok to make those a daily diet... It says they contain about 260 calories.. And they portions are small, which is what I struggle with...

Any pros or cons would be appreciated..

 

im getting sick and tired of doctors giving bull**** advice on nutrition and exercise.

one doctor told my brother he needs to eat less eggs and prawns because they are full of cholesterol

another doctor told my sister she needs to build some lean muscles and wrote out a training plan consisting of mother ****ing bicep curls, crunches etc.

 

Thanks RDJ... I struggle with my portions.. I never feel like I'm full... So I help myself to seconds.... I'm 5'10" at 200lbs... And I want to get back to the shape I was in when I was In college... A solid 170.. I always start a diet and exercise plan but It doesn't last long.. I hope this time I can stick with it.

 

What about nuts, like pistachoes? any good as a light snack?

 

it's very important for you guys since you need cholesterol to feel so big and macho lol. your bodies (female too) need cholesterol in order to make testosterone. there's an obvious difference though between the cholesterol in a bucket of kentucky friend chicken and a boal of oatmeal. fish like salmon, various kinds of berries and different kinds of nuts like almonds are all good for this purpose (good cholesterol) and using oils like olive & coconut to cook w/. egg is also perfectly good.

absolutely

 

is drinking coffee bad? a lot of people here are saying that you should substitute tea over it but i like coffee more

 

Rice might as well be classed as junk food, it raises blood sugar too much (even brown rice) and is highly acidic. It containts anti nutrients which block the absorbtion of vital nutrients like magnesium. You would be better off switching to a grain like seed called Quinoa, its is an alkaline, gluten free and contains many more nutrients than rice and is a complete protein. Tastes better than rice in my opinion too. :thumbsup

 

Real organic ground coffee is loaded with antioxidants. Drink 2 cups a day for maximum benefits. Anymore and you might have side affects due to the caffeine content. The freeze dried coffee that you can buy is a load of crap.

 

Has anyone here tried Cellmass? I'm thinking of buying it, just wondering if anyone here has had any experience with it?
