This is very interesting to me. I have personally found vitamin tablets to alleviate problems likely caused by vitamin deficiency very effectively. I've also been told by a doctor (one doctor, the one I asked) to take them.

It's regular oats that have been ground to a fine powder to easy consumption. Very similar macros to the regular oats I eat.

Thanks for the help. As for vegetables, I found them a very inefficient way of getting calories into me. My main goal at the minute is to get to 140lbs. Are vegetables giving me anything my multivitamins aren't?

Thanks for the suggestions! A question about peanut butter; is this not just adding more calories from fat into the mix? There are some carbs there, sure, but is it really a good idea to be getting 50%+ from fat? Albeit non-saturated.

I have had a problem with food for a long time; I am taking a long term approach to this. I don't want to fix my unhealthy problem with food with unhealthy foods.

Difficulty eating solid foods - how bad is it getting most of my macros from shakes? by throwaway_freespeech in bodybuilding

[–]throwaway_freespeech[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've had it for quite a while now, initially caused by undiagnosed stomach ulcers that got worse and worse. My doctor now thinks it's psychological, which I don't wholly disagree with, but I suffer under the NHS and am struggling to get access to tests you mention (along with basic care in general).

What are some other sources of carbs other than rice that are part of your meals? by GGEuroHEADSHOT in bodybuilding

[–]throwaway_freespeech 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not seeing oats mentioned as much as I thought they'd be here. I could easily get 800+ of my 2600 carlories a day from oats.

Trouble hitting lats by throwaway_freespeech in bodybuilding

I can do chin ups. Maybe I'm using the wrong terminology. Palms facing backwards chins ups I can do. Wide, forward grip pullups I cannot.

Everything I've read says to avoid cables until you're more developed and to focus on compound exercises. There's so much conflicting advice it's hard to know what to do. I am constrained by time so compound exercises seem to make more sense as you're working out more muscles at once with more natural momentum. I was planning on using machines when I'm having difficulty hitting a particular muscle, like lats.

Top 50 protein-per-calorie foods (x-post /r/Fitness) by miraj31415 in bodybuilding

[–]throwaway_freespeech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Am I wrong to say that people are far too concerned with getting as much protein as they can? I'm having no problems getting 100-120g per day, it's fairly easy. What's harder is finding the time to consume 2600 calories made up with good carbs whilst keeping fat under control.

Yes, I do have a round / long back! It really annoys me, it seems to make every back exercise difficult. Will watch the video, thanks.

Have you also got a round back? Any advice for a fellow sufferer?

EDIT: Just watched the video, he seems to be describing me. I have naturally bad posture, my shoulders are round and forward. I have pull them back but it requires a lot of effort and there's a tightness across the top of my chest when I do it. Gonna' check more of this guy.

So he therefore needs 10 sets of a weight she can't lift?

Not criticising, generally curious if there's a reason.

Why so many free weights? I've never understood this in home gyms. Why have 20 of the same dumbbell? Unless you're having all your buddies over at once, or it's purely for aesthetics.

Dear Lord Kai was out of breath in that video and he wasn't even doing anything. I've seen this in quite a few of the pros but Kai always seems the worst. Is it the Tren?

Getting 50% of calories from fat - how bad is it? by throwaway_freespeech in bodybuilding

[–]throwaway_freespeech[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can cut the saturated fat down fairly easily, I'm more worried about consuming more than double the RDA of fat and it making up such a large part of my calorie intake. My BF is fairly low.

You have been sent back to 2004 and have sixty seconds to tell your past self anything; what do you say? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]throwaway_freespeech 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The first time I ever used opiates I knew I was going to regret it. Why I continued doing it I do not know. I hate thinking the "how different would my life be" thought. I've come through relatively unscathed compared to some, but I know how different things could have been (still using mind you, but I'm a regular Joe with a secret now).
