Bulking & Cutting
If you’re trying to build muscle and lose fat, there’s a good chance that you’ve come across two terms—“bulking” and “cutting.” These two terms refer to two different phases of improving your physique. Bulking is the term that refers to consuming a large number of calories while training hard at the gym. Cutting is the process of cutting calories (particularly carbs) while continuing to train just as hard.

3 Eating Habits for a Healthy Start to Summer
It is common for anyone to lean towards comfort foods and treats that are not part of our everyday diet during the winter season. Although, as we enter the warmer season by heading into summer, we must leave unhealthy food habits that are common during the winter. We like extra food intake for our body during winter, and in the process, we eat items like chocolate brownie and sweets—not so good for our fitness goals. Remember, life is all about balance!

Boost Your Productivity with the Right Food Choices
Eating highly nutritious meals can be a bit of a challenge, especially in today’s day and age: we often feel too busy or stressed out, so we tend to gulp whatever comes to our hands first. And it’s not just that we consume bad/junk food, but we also tend to overeat.

My Obsession with Food
This title may be a little deceiving. Yes, I do love food, not really to the point of obsession (though I'm sure my spouse will tell you otherwise). I have phenylketonuria, better known as PKU, a rare metabolic disorder in which phenylalanine cannot be digest. Phenylalanine can primarily be found in protein which means I cannot digest protein. People with phenylketonuria are treated with a low protein diet; being left untreated can result in seizures, brain damage, behaviour problems, and more. Since this is a serious disorder, it is screened for only a few days after birth, as to ensure treatment can be given right away.

Add Protein Powder to Your Diet
There are only so many foods you can eat that contain the protein you need. If you are a picky eater or vegan, your sources of protein are limited. It may feel like you aren't getting enough protein in a day. The answer isn't eating more food in a day. Add protein powder to your everyday diet. You can get all the protein you need without eating foods you don't enjoy. There are many different ways you can prepare the powder and incorporate it into your diet. Making this change will change your diet for the better.

Develop a Weight Loss Plan That Works Perfectly for You
Is there anything more frustrating than attempting to lose weight and never seeing the pounds shed? The process should be a relatively easy one. Cut your calories, and the weight comes off. Pick up your activity levels, and you burn more calories. Both these ideas are, honestly, the way to lose weight. However, you need to right steps for reducing calories and becoming more active. Sometimes, we think we're cutting calories, but we aren't. Counting calories is harder than you might think. And some activities don't burn as many calories as you think.
