But there's nothing wrong with eating late at night as long as you're not loading up on carbohydrates, right?Eating less rice/noodles/pasta while keeping the same level of vege/meat intake usually results in my snacking at 11pm though...
Basically any vegetables, casein proteins (like milk or even lean beef), or the right kinds of fats are good for you up to at least hour before bed. To my knowledge, at least.

My metabolism is pretty damn fast, I would actually need to eat a meal like every 3-4 hours or so to actually gain weight, so cutting back on anything would make me lose weight.
Today I learned AOX's ( anti-oxidents) somehow make me feel a bit better, why is this? Buff >_>?
If you eat brown rice don't cut on it:
1) its tasty and delicious
2) its healthier than white rice
And i don't care still - i'll eat what i like(that means rice, meat, fruit, and some other things)

You're actually pretty close. It's recommended that people eat 6 meals a day, or 1 meal every 2 to 3 hours. I did that last summer and fall, eating about 600 calories at each meal and I went from 145 pounds to 185. It's just a matter of constantly feeding your body the nutrients it needs so it doesn't eat away at your muscle mass.Originally Posted by darkshadow

Substances called "free radicals" are produced when your body functions normally, as a result of metabolism of compounds. Free radicals are unstable, and so like to go around attacking things to form something more stable. Sometimes, this can lead to a chain reaction where radicals attack to make more radicals etc, while sometimes two radicals can combine and form a stable product. Either way, they do nothing constructive, to my knowledge. The damage on your system by these radicals is called Oxidative Stress - because Oxygen itself can commonly form this highly reactive product.
Anti-oxidants are things that can mop up these free radicals, reducing cellular damage and oxidative stress.
Reducing cellular damage = feeling better makes sense to me.

Ahh yes, that makes sense, thx
and Xan, I would need more then 600cals per meal, that would only land me a total of 3600 a day, that's not enough to make me gain weight, I would need at least double.
Well I was just estimating that, but you never want to eat more than about 300 calories over what you usually would on a regular basis. If you want to gain lean mass, a gain of more than at most 2 pounds per week would have you looking like this poor kid in no time. That is, unless you're Michael Phelps and exercise for a living.Ahh yes, that makes sense, thx

Lol that's pretty bad, but yeah I do exercise but not a lot, only like 4 hours a week, but combine that with my really high metabolism and I would really need a lot of calories to gain any sort of significant weight.
I've been having difficulty losing any excess Fat. MY scale (although surely inaccurate it is consistent) always has my body fat % between 19-20.5%
Try as I might I can't seem to get this number lower. I've quit drinking except for a few beers on the weekend. Cook all my own food, (ie no more fast food). Have pretty much cut fat out of my diet, and ride my bike around at least 3 hours/day M-F.
But I'll be damned if I can get my body fat down. Since Feb 17th I've ridden 1600 miles. Though I was eating a lot of crap when I started, I don't anymore. I don't mind gaining some weight, in fact it's probably inevitable if I can keep up my commute. But does anyone have suggestions for slimming down?
Why you ask? Why do I care? I can increase my power/weight ratio my getting stronger or losing weight. However just straight weight loss will probably also mean smaller muscles. I'm guestimating (completely unfounded guess) that the scale is 3-4% off so I'm really around 16-17% body fat percentage. I want to get down to around 8% (possibly lower) so that would be going from 32 lbs of fat on me to 15 pounds of fat. If I could lose 15 pounds of fat, and maintain all other fitness I could become much much faster.
When man invented the bicycle he reached the peak of his attainments. Here was a machine of precision and balance for the convenience of man. And (unlike subsequent inventions for man's convenience) the more he used it, the fitter his body became. Here, for once, was a product of man's brain that was entirely beneficial to those who used it, and of no harm or irritation to others. Progress should have stopped when man invented the bicycle. ~Elizabeth West, Hovel in theHills
I have a friend who says this when I asked him why he didn't defend himself at work (people were accusing him of something):
"Don't ever fight back. Always assume that everyone's right and you're wrong. You can try to defend yourself, but you'll probably end up getting fired. This is real life, not some imaginary wonderworld. Just go in and get out."

That actually happened to me at work the other day. The manager kept tell me that this and that happened and to do it right next time, when obviously by colleague was the one who's completely out of it that night. Well, it was obvious to me anyway, since I was working with him, and I actually corrected a few mistakes myself.
Meh, you just listen. What I do do is relay the manager's words back to him. Like "Oh, Jason told us to watch out for X, cuz WE stuff X up." I leave it up to him if he wants to own up or not.

Since I was young, probably around 7, I've noticed that breathing through my left nostril takes significantly more effort than breathing through my right. If breathing through my right is normal, then taking a breath through the left is akin to taking a breath through the cusps of your hand -> noisy and restricting, requiring effort.
I never knew why, nor did I really bother to find out. All I know is that it hasn't always been this way, though the exact time of occurrence has long been forgotten. If I put my finger up my nose, I can put it no higher than the first joint of any finger. I assumed my left nostril was somehow narrower.
It results in, not loud, but heavy breathing when I sleep. On a day to day basis, it doesn't bother me though, so I've always lived with this fact.
Today, I got in front of a mirror and shined a flashlight up my nose for no other reason than to satisfy my curiosity of how much nasal hair I have. I looked up my right, and found, contrary to my expectations, that nasal hair isn't that dense at all. The nasal canal is actually rather spacious, taking the shape of a slit. The sides are lined with moist tissue, and the occasional boogie.
Interesting. So I take a look up my left.
And was I surprised.
As I've said, my left nostril's status is rarely, if ever, on my mind. So taking a peek up there, it was quite the WTF-moment when I see, about 2.3cm (~1inch) up this slit of a canal was this red...thing.
The first thing that came to mind was something off Starcraft. Sitting 2cm up my nose was the reason for my heavy breathing for the last ten years. A red, fleshy outgrowth attached to the top-left left nasal canal, taking up 65-85% of the airway.
Putting my finger up as far as it'll go, I give it a gentle push. Moist and soft. From past experience, I self-diagnosed it as a cyst. (I had one in my mouth before).
I'll probably mention it to the doctor if I ever see him for some other reason. I could try a nasal spray, but surgery is out of the question. It's stable in size, it's not bothering me, it can stay.
So yeah, today I learned I've got a cyst up my nose, the reason for my heavy(ier) breathing.

Why is surgery out of the question? You are too big a Starcraft fan?
No, it just hurtsA needle's still required for local anesthetics. Plus, the chances of getting rid of it is (only) ~90%.
There's no pain or inconvenience, so weighing it up with all that, I can't see why I'd bother. I'll probably still see him just to rule out cancer or something.

Hmm, that must be scary to see a red, moist cyst in your left nostril. Hope it gets fixed!

Dear God, that is absolutely disgusting. Your description of it makes me imagine it worse than it really is. I would have freaked the hell out if I found that up my nose and probably would have tried to get it out myself.
I hope it's not too much of a bother for you. I wouldn't be able to sit still knowing that was inside my face.

That Total Recall, while an awesome action movie, is actually much deeper than I thought the first several times I saw it.
If you view the entire film after Quaid goes to Rekall Corp. assuming that it takes place as one huge delusion, the movie takes a much darker turn. The director and Schwarzenegger confirm it several times during the audio commentary from the 2001 DVD. The characters mention huge parts of the plot mid-film no less than three times. It adds a huge amount of depth to the film that wasn't there if you simply view it as a good adventure flick. The end of the movie even fades to white as opposed to the normal black in support of this darker vision.
Not to mention the pretty amazing animatronics and miniature effects used for a film produced in 1989 (released in '90-91). There is actually quite a bit of Mise en scène in the cinematography as well.
It's nice to return to things you once viewed just one way and look at them in another light.

That i'm both an extreme misanthropist, yet very liberal with certain aspects of life.
Wouldnt change a thing about me.
I would think the majority of us are the same way, at least I am.

Today I learned that the famous squeal from Cypress Hill's Insane in the Brain was sampled from a horse.

Anyone who grew up during the 90s should recognize it.
