What's the question: But what's your concern after all? Are you trying to lose weight, maintain it or....?

Question 2

looking for high protein vegan foods. what percent of tofu (regular square blocks, medium or hard type) is protein, fat, and carbohydrate?

Accepted Answer

Beans, nuts, seeds: 1 cup of tofu has 20 grams protein, 10 grams of fat & 4 grams of carbohydrates.
All beans, lentils and chickpeas are good sources of protein, as are nuts & seeds. Hemp seeds contain as much protein as any food and it is a "complete" protein. Quinoa is the highest protein grain. Seitan from gluten is also high in protein.  See http://www.Vrg.Org/nutrition/protein.Htm for more info.

Question 4

Accepted Answer

Outdated: Claims related to somatotypes are considered outdated and not supported by modern science.

Question 5

is 100grams of carbs enough for a high intensity boxing workout? my weight is 75kg

Accepted Answer

Might be.: You gut can only absorb about 45 grams of carbs every hour, no matter how intense your workout.  So if your work out is in the 2 hours range, that should be enough. If you are working out less, then it's likely too much.  What's more important is the post workout snack.  You will need about 120-150 kcals within about 1 hour of finishing.  This helps restore your energy stores for your next workout.

Question 6

50%protein 40%carbs 10% fat.(3300cal)clean no junk. i workout 6 days per week 3 high intensity  cardio.will this cause problems to liver nd kidney.

Accepted Answer

Hydrate: As long as you hydrate well your liver and kidneys should be fine.  The exercise program might not give you enough recovery time for muscle growth though, so watch it.

Question 7

which type of foods do i avoid that are high in carbs?

Accepted Answer

Multiple: It's not advisable to avoid foods with carbohydrates as they often contain multiple sources of vitamins, minerals, and fiber.  These are vegetables, fruits, breads, and cereals. The only other food groups are proteins and fats and, while important in a balanced diet, should not be eaten exclusively.

Question 8

i exercise 3 times/week and my fasting blood sugar is 94-107. why is it this high even when i don't eat carbs or sugar?

Accepted Answer

It has nothing: To do with eating carbs or sugar. By the way, there is no diet that doesn't have any carbs in it. My guess is that you're overweight and Insulin resistant with prediabetes. Check w/your doctor.

Question 9

best indian food with high protein and carbs for body building? my weight is just 51 and heighr is 174 cm.. i want to puton weight. please suggest me

Accepted Answer

Plant-based protein: To build muscle eat more calories than you burn using healthy whole food sources like fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and beans. You will be getting plenty of protein if you eat a variety of vegetables and legumes, such as dal and chana masala. You will of course need to train hard and get enough rest to recover between workouts. Do these things consistently, and you will see results.

Question 10

could i have a carb intolerance? a wellness4women dr said my body doesn't digest carbs properly, instead of using it as fuel, it stores it as fat. please give specific guidelines on how i can lose weight. i gained 30kg in pregnancy 2+ years ago.

Accepted Answer

Carbs: Many people respond well to a low glycemic diet. Excess carbs tends to cause an excessive Insulin response. This is what pushes the sugar into the cells, but it is  also the fat signal. Regular activity can help especially high intensity exercise.
