I eat once a day...I always try and train on an empty stomach...I don't eat anything that wasn't on earth 10,000 years ago, it's like a paleo-warrior diet...Pretty much the whole idea behind it is we evolved for millions of years to eat a certain way, and the human diet has changed more in the last 50 years than it has in the last several thousand. So if we're pretty much evolved to eat and fast and eat and fast, that's what's kind of called intermediate fasting.

etc.

I want to take it as a supplement, and it's easily available all over.

however, my main point of confusion is how MCT oil relates to coconut oil. Apparently coconut oil can contain as much as 55% MCT oil by mass - but I have yet to see a referred or academic source which can confirm that, just random forum posts that seemed to be pulled out of their ass.

Does anyone know what the relationship between these two oils are?

if coconut oil truly contains 55% MCT, I'd rather cook/eat 2 TBSP of CO a day rather than take MCT separately, as both are high in calorie. ]]> Dieting / Supplement Discussion Nemesis48 http://forums.sherdog.com/forums/f15/mct-oil-coconut-oil-2489297/ http://forums.sherdog.com/forums/f15/25lbs-lot-lose-3-4-weeks-2489131/ Tue, 18 Jun 2013 07:14:23 GMT So I was hoping to gain some weight lately and get to 200lbs for a drop down to 170lbs when competing, however I've just been asked to fight in 6 weeks time.

I think in 2 weeks I could get to 192 lbs (I'm currently around 188) and was then thinking of using the 4 weeks left to slowly bring the weight down and retain as much size as possible.

What do you guys think of this? Is this sensible? Am I vastly overestimating the time it takes to cut the weight? This is the first time I've cut weight properly, as I used to weigh 155 and fight at lightweight.

Edit: I should also say I'm pretty lean. 6,2 at around 12-15%bf. ]]> Dieting / Supplement Discussion Fenderson http://forums.sherdog.com/forums/f15/25lbs-lot-lose-3-4-weeks-2489131/ http://forums.sherdog.com/forums/f15/eating-out-2489099/ Tue, 18 Jun 2013 05:30:56 GMT Hi, so the past few days I've gotten some great advice here. I went with SS and the routine has been working really well for me.

I am trying to eat 2,500~ calories everyday and that's the only thing I'm struggling on.
I often get to 2,000 or so short but then I feel like puking.

So what I do is, because I have to work, school then take care of family / home, I have very little time to myself.

So I found some little secret, by eating Subway I can get in 1,000 calories in one meal. Then I only have 1,500 calories to worry about. The rest of the 1,500 calories I get from eating with family and protein shakes (Cytogainer).

Any other place you guys can recommend that'll give me an easy 1,000+ calories in one go? I can't eat Subway everyday. Subway seem healthy because I can select my own veggies, etc but it'll gets old eventually. ]]> Dieting / Supplement Discussion shadowskip http://forums.sherdog.com/forums/f15/eating-out-2489099/ http://forums.sherdog.com/forums/f15/how-do-i-calculate-diet-not-increase-fat-get-slow-gains-2489091/ Tue, 18 Jun 2013 05:07:03 GMT so im going to start doing starting strength (went off it for bout a year) i want to eat enough so that ill 1) not gain fat (or gain only a little) 2) its fine if i have slow gains for the time being (next two months) how exactly do u guys know how much calories to take in? its like the... so im going to start doing starting strength (went off it for bout a year)
