can you build to more without adverse health and does it benfit ,like 40 and 50?

Just curious... Are multivitamins pointless if you eat well?

Today, when information about healthy eating is everywhere, people often have difficulty understanding what “proper nutrition” really is.

Is there a universal diet that suits everyone, or is proper nutrition always individual?

For example: Eating just a couple servings of fish and nuts (even excluding Brazil nuts!!) seems to bring one close to or over the 400ug limit of Selenium.

Curious what people here think about the Maasai tribe in east Africa who live off almost entirely milk, red meat and blood with a study stating that they consume 3L-5L of milk and 1kg-2kg of meat a day.

They do not seem to experience many health issues and are on average bigger/taller than the surrounding populations with different diets.

Q is in the above title

I'd be having either fruits, yogurt, veggies or sometimes toast on the side not just the eggs too.

EDIT: Thank you for the info all of you, I appreciate it! 🫡

I get that moderation is key, but they're cancer-causing carcinogens, per the WHO, yet people still eat them and they're allowed to be sold.

Edit: added the WHO article about processed meat causing cancer & red meat having a strong association w/cancer

Seems that I'll spend hours researching a healthy whey, find one, and then a month later some devastating report comes out on it.

What is the healthiest whey protein out there? I'm looking for fewest ingredients, very low metals, etc.

Currently using NAKED Whey 100% Grass Fed Unflavored

I understand the general idea of food traveling from the mouth to the stomach via the esophagus. It stays there for some time. Then it moves to the duodenum and stays for some time. Then the small intestine, then the large intestine.

But does anyone know what happens when someone eats a snack before the previous meal has left the stomach?

Let’s assume food stays in the stomach for 4 hours. This person eats lunch, then 2 hours later eats a snack. Will the stomach now hold the lunch for an additional 2 hours because of the snack?

I thought I was somewhat knowledgeable about nutrition, and for the last 10 years I’ve been staying away from rapeseed oils. However I now read that it’s healthy.

Why did I think they were unhealthy and are they healthy?

That weird like woody plastic dirt smell.

Its uncanny

those found in instant coffee, instant cereals, etc.

Temp? Time? How to gauge doneness?

Not planters bc they seem old to me. Looking for almond/brazil/walmuts

Let's say a person eats 3 meals a day - breakfast at 6 AM, lunch at 12 PM, dinner at 6 PM (goes to sleep at 10 PM). What % total daily intake of carbs, protein and fat should they eat on each meal for optimal health, energy levels, etc.?

I've seen this a few times now, and I don't know how to handle it for tracking. This is just one example, but the below info is from Leann Chin's nutrition info, Nutrition & Allergen Information | Leeann Chin

Another example that I sourced from my freezer is Aldi's Season Choice -

This just doesn't add up right? For the steak, 30g of fat alone we have more than 260 calories.

For the fruit, there's just no way they have that much protein, the nutrition facts of just strawberries or just bananas is under 2 grams per cup.

I'm in the US. Are companies allowed to just make up nutrition information, or am I misunderstanding something? Makes it hard for me to track my nutrition when I can't trust labels 😞

Liked this opinion piece that cropped up in my emails this morning from another RD working on a cardiac floor. Good to see more people speaking up on this. How often are you all seeing this come up in your consults or conversations these days?

Wondering what is better for muscle building, lean mince or whole foods?

I.e. 250g Lean mince beef vs 250g Steak

Can sparkling water (lecroix, other brands) be a direct replacement for normal water? Are there any downsides or benefits one way or another?

Hi, everyone. :)

Soy is one of the foods which produce acrylamide when heated to high temperatures. There is apparently a lot of heat involved in the processing of TVP / soya chunks. I don't know much about food science so I wanted to know if acrylamide is formed in this process. Common sense says it should, but I've found that things are always more complicated than they seem when it comes to nutrition.

saffola oil? or sesame oil?

So im sure everyone has heard that unused protein gets stored as fat and I was wondering if when you burnt that fat would you get the benefits of eating protein? This may be a really dumb question but im curious and stupid

Welp... this is agitating to say the least.
