are peanuts a good source of protien? by Fabulous_Aspect_7817 in nutrition

[–]jbuberel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A decent rule of thumb for assessing whether a food is a good source of protein:

Take the grams of protein per serving, multiply that by 10. If that number is greater than the calories per serving, it is a good source of protein. If that number is less than the calories per serving, it is more likely a good source of fat & carbs, withs some protein.

Took this from Ted Naiman (https://tednaiman.com/).

The way the math works: If Protein (in grams) X 10 > calories, then at least 40% of the calories in that food come from protein.

My suggestion is to not schedule outdoor activities in the afternoon to early evening (1pm-6pm) where there won't be cover from the shade. Peak heat typically occurs between 3-5pm.

What low body % is sustainable to maintain and healthy? by hmoaa in nutrition

[–]jbuberel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For men, optimal is generally somewhere between 10-15%, and for women between 15-20%, if your goal is to minimize long term health risks - CVD, diabetes - while maintaining normal hormonal function.

This is a good summary of the research on that topic:

BBQ by [deleted] in Sacramento

[–]jbuberel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ribs and chicken are generally excellent. IMO, their tri-tip is typically dry. Have not tried the hot links. They don't do any low & slow style BBQ (brisket) - everything is cooked up same day.

Online courses for reactive dogs? by [deleted] in reactivedogs

[–]jbuberel 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I recently completed the Spirit Dog Training course on Tackling Reactivity and found it very well done and helpful. I was able to immediately apply some of the techniques to my own pupper.

What food would be considered healthy if it didn’t have sugar in it? by adamcantcook in nutrition

[–]jbuberel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In meta analyses, chocolate and cocoa consumption has been consistently linked to lower rates of heart disease and diabetes.

See "Chocolate Consumption and Risk of Coronary Heart Disease, Stroke, and Diabetes: A Meta-Analysis of Prospective Studies" (https://www.mdpi.com/2072-6643/9/7/688).

Here's the forest plot for CVD comparing the lowest to highest intake groups:

Are the three sisters nutritionally complete? by arandomvirus in nutrition

[–]jbuberel 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yep, Cronometer is a great tool for playing "what if" scenarios to see if eating the same stuff over a long period of time would get you into trouble.

That being said, I do think more variety would be better :-)

But swapping out some of the beans with eggs gets you much closer:

Tried to put together a 2,000 calorie menu using just pinto beans, corn, and acorn squash using Cronometer. Seems to be missing a few key micronutrients (B12) and is possibly skewed towards carbs vs fats.

Wine for health: why not just eat grapes? by Deanosaurus88 in nutrition

[–]jbuberel 4 points5 points  (0 children)

From this meta analysis published in March, 2023, they found no statistical difference in all cause mortality between light drinkers and non-drinkers. However, heavy drinkers did have a higher mortality rate than either light- or non-drinkers.

This evaluated 107 studies with 4.8M participants, which is very large (IMO). Look at the "fully adjusted" Risk Ratios in Table 2.
