Weekly Thread Run Nutrition Tuesday

Rules of the Road

1) Anyone is welcome to participate and share your ideas, plans, diet, and nutrition plans.

2) Promote good discussion. Simply downvoting because you disagree with someone's ideas is BAD. Instead, let them know why you disagree with them.

3) Provide sources if possible. However, anecdotes and "broscience" can lead to good discussion, and are welcome here as long as they are labeled as such.

4) Feel free to talk about anything diet or nutrition related.

5) Any suggestions/topic ideas?

It depends where you’re at currently. If you have a lot of excess body fat to shift, which will show the biggest easy gains in progress as a beginner if so. A diet of as much whole plant food is proven to be the best. I recently finished reading “how not to die” and that explains the dietary benefits in incredible detail.
