I thought this is a long known myth?

Hope this is the right place to ask, since its just a questions. Not necessary to create new topic 😊

To all the sifus,

I am trying to cut my body fat %, perhaps another 5% in 3 months (hope is realistic) Currently 17%, 76kg. I do bring my own food to work as well.
Today i couldnt control my craving and i started to eat a lot more (tandoori chicken with egg white n veges) once at 1pm and 5pm. During 5pm, i ate another starbucks egg white n apple 😣😣

Questions is tht how badly cheat meals affect for those of us who is on diet?

Thanks Sifu 😊

how badly? Or you wanted to ask "how good"? Why bad? I enjoy my cheats to the max. Cheated for more than a week, still cheating 😊.. Anyway do u know why actually u need a cheat? Don't follow blindly, find out the fundamental, then you play with your body...

I guess in a way i am asking of the pro's n con's of cheat meals. 😊

My craving was bad today. Wanted to eat all sort of food (kfc, cakes, chocolate you name it) but i recalled people telling me tandoori chicken is healthy and tasty. Luckily after eating it, the craving was not so strong anymore. But i still went on for the starbuck sandwich 😭😭😭

Again same question putting to u, do u know why you need to cheat?

Pro & Con: it can be double edged sword. As for myself, there are no CONS at all. I'm cooking a Penang White Curry now while waiting for my McD Prosperity Burger 😊

mana beli the Penang White Curry???

Made in Penang.. This My Kuali will give others run for their money. Demand > Supply, could be their strategy now to create a great market awareness. Taste: So far best curry mee in packet 😊 Friend beli from Penang..

can we take 6 scoops on whey protein a day? 1 scoop = 24g
is it over? btw bodyweight 72kg. thanks
he is a vegetarian

YES. take 20 scoop also ok. still if extra protein will make u fat. watch the calories intake


just to be clear: High protein diets do not cause kidney damage.

The origin: Back in 1983, researchers first discovered that eating more protein increases your “glomerular filtration rate,” or GFR. Think of GFR as the amount of blood your kidneys are filtering per minute. From this finding, many scientists made the leap that a higher GFR places your kidneys under greater stress.

What science really shows: Nearly 2 decades ago, Dutch researchers found that while a protein-rich meal did boost GFR, it didn’t have an adverse effect on overall kidney function. In fact, there’s zero published research showing that downing hefty amounts of protein—specifically, up to 1.27 grams per pound [2.8g/kg] of body weight a day—damages healthy kidneys. - Alan Aragon from Mens Health Online

Pre-workout. (30 minutes before working out)
1 medium sized banana
1 cup of oatmeal

Post-workout.
1 scoop of whey
Dinner consisting of about 1/2 cup of rice, about 200g of lean meat, potatoes, fruits.

Is this a good diet? Or should i drink the whey pre-workout?

According to this article, taking whey pre-workout is more advantageous.

What's proper pre & post workout meals? Well don't follow blindly. You gotta know your goal and know how effective your workouts are. Worrying about losing muscles if you don't feed them, chill.. If weight lifting is so taxing, what's life?

Noob here , need help from you guys =(
Basically I m trying to lose body fat and build some muscle ( not bulky as per weight lifter , just to look fit) through swimming and bootcamp , so should I drink whey protein post workout? and what s your recommendation?

no. you should invest in reading 1st. read the weight loss thread and gaining mass thread. Simply drink whey protein will make you fat.

uh ...where is the thread? I cant find it . mind to put the link?

how to find this thread then?

o .. I type whey protein in the search bar , thanks

Don't worry, take your time, read slowly.. You will find this site very informative, be it famous or infamous information as well. Macam macam pun ada.. Learn to differentiate them as well. Just remember there ain't any magic pills/powder or shortcuts. Different goals different games 😊
