not knowing the effects of having high cholesterol is like not knowing the dangers of saturated and trans fat which is more like general knowledge to most people.

Did u even open the link and check all the 8 references (of research done) riiiiight below ? No ? Go check em out .

references? where?

it is said that daily cholesterol intake for healthy individual is 300 mg and one large egg already contains 186mg. so what's your point?

Scroll down again please. Right below the "facebook/twitter logo". Thank you

like i said what's your point? I'm talking about eating more than 6 eggs yolk in a day but if that's not much of a concern to you, then so be it cuz its ur heart

Let's set things straight. Dietary cholesterol (from food) has little impact on your cholestrol levels in your blood because your own body produces cholesterol, which is essential for the basic functions of your brain and other many organs.

And saturated fats are actually really good for you. We human beings have been consuming meats and fats for thousands of years and why did CVD and obesity epidemic only showed up in the 1900s ?

Thats a good diet plan. Add in some vegetables.

Thanks for sharing this. I'm particularly fascinated by the first video on cholesterol. I remember watching another video previously with a similar message but this one is better.
I have higher than normal HDL and LDL, but workout out regularly and eat a healthier diet than most people I know so this discovery is pretty interesting to me.

High HDL is a sign for lower risk of CVD. If your triglycerides is low as well, it's even better as it shows your consumption of carbohydrates are low. I wouldn't worry too much about LDL unless they are the small and oxidized one. However if you smoke, you are definitely at high risk for CVD.

Certainly all these "new" information can be hard to comprehend at first but give it time and people will come to realize about the truth regarding fats, saturated fats, cholesterol, etc.

I don't smoke and have a very low triglycerides level, so after the most recent blood test I told myself that I'm just going to continue things as normal as I honestly don't see what else I can do to reduce the LDL level. I'm certainly not going to consider statins.

How much protein do I need per day ? Currently 69kg with 169 height.

1g per pound of lean body mass is a safe bet. So, you need to know your body fat percentage to determine your lean body mass.

My lean body mass is about 120 pounds so I need to eat around 120g of protein

But how do you measure lean body mass ? Let say my body Fat is 25% then how much lean body mass I have

Best to use expensive equipments which uses sensors to measure your body fat and body composition. For example inbody 570.

If you can get to use such equipments, can just search online. Just Google search "men body fat"

If your body fat is 25%, then your lean body mass is 0.75x 69kg=51.75kg.

51.75kg is 113 pounds. Just eat 113 grams of protein as mentioned in my previous post

Thanks for the tips! Appreciate it

Hey guys, im new to bodybuilding. Im 21 male and trying to bulk then get lean muscles. What should i eat daily to bulk and to get lean muscles. Im 65kg and 175cm. Erm, any meal plans that are affordable and easy to get?

Excuse me for not reading previous posts. Will try to read them when im free. Cheers guys!

Know your TDEE (Google it) and eat at a caloric surplus to bulk. Eat at a caloric deficit to cut (lose weight). These are the most basics.

Contrary to popular belief you don't actually need to eat that much protein to get gain muscle mass, I'm talking about like eating a whole chicken a day kind of thing. Just target 1g per lean body mass in pounds. Yes you need to get your body fat percentage.

Good sources of protein: meats, Eggs (really cheap and awesome), nuts, fish, whey protein, dairy like milk, Yoghurt, cheese etc.

Don't forget your fats too like olive oil, fats in meat, fish, nuts, cheese, milk, etc.

As for carbs, I'm pretty sure you know about it

I start clean eating two months ago and did a lot of cardio (jogging and body combat). And I became thinner. Results are obvious. Then I decided while I am now thinner, I am not toned. So I started going to gyms two weeks ago and start taking protein powder. This is my diet. Please comment if its suitable for me.

Morning:

Overnight oats - 5 big table spoon of oat, 1 big table spoon of plain yoghurt, chia seeds, 1 scoop of protein powder and fruit of my choice.
BCAA Lemon infused water

Noon:

Salads with chicken breast. (sometimes will swap with tuna in water if I'm sicked of chicken breast)

Pre Workout:

1 banana

Night (After workout or cardio):

Soup with chicken breast and 2 eggs.
Protein shake

For weightlifting, is there such thing as too many sets/reps?

I just want to be stronger, not looking into bulking or what nots...

Example, for deadlifts, I do 60kg - 4 sets, 10 reps. For fifth set, I will add 10kg and do till fail.

Or should I do it differently? Go heavier, less reps?
