You are a ****ing wizard. Had that last time. It's good bro.

[Hawke]

Yeah, I couldn't put it down. I've never had a Cannoli before so I had to try it.

BnJ Cinnamon Buns has to be my favorite out of the ~10 I've tried. The worst one was Americone Dream, the one with Colbert on it.

I loved Americone Dream. Late Night Snack wasn't that good, though. I've had some chocolate brownie something or other that was pretty damn good.

Ah, wasn't a fan of either personally. Chocolate brownie does sound immaculate though. That may have to be my next one.

How bad is your intolerance? I'm lactose intolerant as well but I can get away with taking Lactaid or a fiber pill before/after and avoid an upset stomach.

[paintballh00dlum]

last time i ate a dilly bar i felt like ******* for like 4 days. maybe a coincidence idk or maybe its a type of milk allergy or whatever.

[black_angus]

Our dining hall has a soft serve ice cream machine with tons of toppings available. Vanilla+oreo bits=****ing mouthgasm.

Try making your own ice cream using Lactaid milk. Then throw it on a double chocolate brownie and go to town.

Thanks Anthony!

All humans are lactose intolerant with cows milk. True story.

So let's say that you are doing a hypertrophy, or even a regular strength maintenance type of program, and you don't intake as many calories as you would need to either make gains or keep up maintenance, for a few days. The result of this is muscle loss, no? My question is, how does your body determine where to take the energy it needs from the muscles in your body? Does it take it from the abdomen area first, since it is most centralized?

Going back to this: You would lose fat first. The amount of muscle loss would depend on just how far under maintenance you are eating and for how long. I would assume it would happen in equal areas at the same time, but then again thats just my best guess

You can't spot lose body fat. It's essentially genetically pre-determined. During my contenst prep, My back was the first thing to get shredded/Striated. My Abs didn't come in until the last 2 weeks or so. Just depends on your genetic response to starvation, man.

Interesting.

I know that you can't spot loss, the question was more out of curiosity of whether there is a systematic way that the body chooses where to first start pulling muscle or fat loss first to meet energy demands for the body.

I should probably change, "for a few days" to "most days"

[Pump Revolution]

I'm 7the weeks into my cut, and today was my second low carb day. AmIdoingItwrong?

[Soviet Tacos]

What kind of food should I eat to build muscle? I don't have a gym membership.

Basically just a 2x 20 pound dumbbells.
2x 10 pound dumbbells.

I've been eating almonds and chicken and bagels cream cheese.
