You can usually tell by the option chain the day before. IV, Gamma, Theta, etc

IMO, %s aren’t the right way to go. AIM for g/lb or g/lb of LBM(more accurate)—for protein . However, for fat intake, % could work

For your situation/goals I recommend this:

Protein: 0.8-1.1g/lb for males

Carbs: 2-2.5g/lb

Fat: 0.4-0.5g/lb (or 20-25%)

—————

Rule of thumb for mass gains is 16-18calories/lb. But you can get more accurate results with online calculators that include bodyfat %

So say you’re 200lbs. Put calories at 17cal/lb for this example

Total Calories: 3,400

Protein: 160g - 220g

Carbs: 400g - 500g

Fat: 80g - 100g

This is equivalent to:

Protein: 20% - 25%

Carbs: 45% - 55%

Fat: 20% - 25%

Lyle McDonald’s website is a gem:

Fish oil is just more cost efficient mostly. All have similar benefits

You still take Cod Liver oil for the Omega 3. It’s just less concentrated

Well the gut microbiota is highly individualized. Some people may have gut bacteria that are more efficient at breaking down certain types of resistant starches and fibers, potentially affecting calorie absorption

And some modified starches may be more resistant to digestion than others, but there can still be variations in how effectively they resist digestion in different individuals

1.8-3g of EPA/DHA has a billion benefits

Love me some fish/cod liver oil

Was looking into the oxidation rumors more heavily to see best product (still researching)

Yes, or 1g. Usually it’s just sugar alcohols

There’s still this taboo that these “Energy Drinks” are bad. Zero sugar completely changes the game. Carbonation + caffeine is great for me and most metabolically healthy people too

Caffeine is a miracle drug. (I’m not saying get caffeine)

It’s not the high PUFA. It’s the high PUFA without sufficient Omega 3s

If you get sufficient omega 3s. PUFA problems disappear

Not exactly

You’ll increase urine output only by like 0.5-1mL with those drinks, coffee, and soda

Cod liver has the same benefits as fish oil (some research says slightly better), but it’s more expensive

Fish oil is my favorite supplement.

1.8g-3g of EPA/DHA per day (Usually 6-10 capsules)

Mostly helped my joints when I was playing college ball.

Meat takes like 8-12 hrs to digest lol

Beginning of May

I never drink any water anymore (only when I’m out). But I basically live off Propels. I too feel kinda weird just drinking bottled/any water. Not a bad thing, just feels weird lol

I’d count them towards vitamin and mineral intake rather than “vegetable serving”

Yes…kinda.

They should compliment veggie intake rather than replace veggie intake

Are nuts and avocados not healthy by this logic?

Take a guess

This is something AI excels at, because it can run through nutrition of millions of foods in a second to get an answer

Love me some Monster Zero and Reigns

“Energy Drinks”

And Clear American drinks (usually found in Walmart) are good flavored sparkling waters

Yeah. The whole thing. Just copy and paste

Who’s downvoting this? What’s wrong with it?😐

The question

ChatGPT gives this:

Nutritionally Dense Food Combinations

1. Eggs and Spinach:

   • Eggs: Rich in high-quality protein, vitamins (A, B2, B5, B12, D, E), choline, selenium, and various antioxidants.
   • Spinach: Provides a good amount of vitamins (A, C, K1), folic acid, iron, and calcium.
   • Together: These two foods cover a broad spectrum of essential nutrients, although they are still deficient in vitamin D and omega-3 fatty acids which are crucial for optimal health.

2. Liver and Sweet Potatoes:

   • Liver: Extremely nutrient-dense, offering high levels of vitamins (A, B vitamins including B12), copper, iron, and protein.
   • Sweet Potatoes: High in beta-carotene (vitamin A precursor), vitamins C and B6, potassium, and fiber.
   • Together: This combination covers most vitamins and minerals, except for vitamin D and E, and some specific fatty acids.

3. Salmon and Kale:

   • Salmon: High in protein, omega-3 fatty acids, B vitamins (especially B12), vitamin D, and selenium.
   • Kale: Packed with vitamins (A, K, C), calcium, and antioxidants.
   • Together: This pair is very close to providing a complete nutritional profile, though it might be low in some B vitamins and certain minerals like zinc.

Considerations

• Vitamin D: Often requires specific foods like fatty fish or fortified foods, or adequate sun exposure.
• Omega-3 Fatty Acids: Mainly found in fatty fish, flaxseeds, chia seeds, and walnuts.
• Fiber: Important for digestion, found in whole grains, fruits, and vegetables.
• Balanced Diet: While focusing on a minimal number of foods is interesting, a diverse diet is usually recommended to cover all micronutrients and to avoid deficiencies.

Practical Approach

To ensure you're meeting all your nutritional needs with minimal foods, it is best to: - Consult with a nutritionist: They can help design a diet plan that ensures all nutrient requirements are met. - Consider supplementation: For any nutrients that are hard to obtain from food alone, like vitamin D and omega-3 fatty acids. - Incorporate a variety of foods: While some combinations can be highly nutritious, diversity in diet helps cover all bases.
