Here's some basic information on EFAs from Supplement Watch: Fish oil v. Flaxseed oil One article, citing this study, says: So, rather than relying on your body to convert ALA to EPA and DHA (as with flaxseed oil), presumably it is better to get EPA and DHA directly (with fish oil). Dosing...

Bryan said the following just a few days ago in the aptly-named What is volume and frequency thread:

This site NutritionData with its <span style='color:990000'>Nutrition Facts Calorie Counter</span> has just that sort of nutrition info, all for free. Just FYI—no problem with you posting the question. :)

Thanks for the response, Bryan and Aaron_F! Personally, I've never been all that concerned about the creatine-timing issue—as far as I could tell, basically, as you and Aaron_F said, practically everyone reaches saturation regardless of when creatine is taken. I was just curious as to your...

Now I'm curious. Bryan: If the FAQ by Blade and the article I mentioned say exercise increases creatine reuptake, and the article and the nutritionist cited by EctoSquat both say it is better to take creatine post-workout. why do you say it is better to take it before working out? Is your...

An article I quote below (<span style='color:990000'>emphasis added</span>) agrees point for point with the nutrition expert you checked with: These statements as to the timing of taking creatine refer to the rate of creatine reuptake, not to increasing the amount your cells can hold. Whether...

Hijacked and reproducing, yes, illegally, but for a good cause, at least! &lt;Heh, heh.&gt; I wasn't sure if that question was, like, <span style='color:purple'>totally</span> idiotic or not but I figured I would take that risk... Or, maybe not such a risk. given my reputation, after this...

Aw, heck, guys, I just <span style='color:990000'>made all that spreadsheet stuff up</span>! No, seriously, I'd be happy to send it to anyone who asks ...but, being an old WordPerfect guy (believe it or not), I'm actually using Quattro Pro, rather than MS Excel. So, I'll try to do some...

Joe <span style='color:RED'>Weider</span> Man, am I embarrassed! I think all that math fried my brain. (And the dotcom company I used to work for, now defunct, of course, got bought—who knows why?—by Weider's company.} &quot;Technical difficulties?&quot; Too funny! (OK, well, just funny...

My &quot;mathematical genius&quot; (what little there is of it—but, <span style='color:006600'>thanks</span>, in any case, dkm1987) gives way to monumental laziness in situations like these. Like most everyone here, I have a spreadsheet for HST which I use not only for calculating my weights...

<span style='font-size:7pt;line-height:100%'>&lt;pssst, Lars, <span style='color:red'>old buddy</span>, wouldn't that Kung Fu come in handy right around now in finding about about this Joe guy?&gt;</span> Yeah, how about them monkeys? [Serious aside: <span style='color:green'>So</span>...

Oh, yeah, right, Joe! ;) Sure. Um, yeah, Joe. :confused: <span style='font-size:7pt;line-height:100%'>Joe?</span>

Just kidding, Lars! Couldn't resist! ;)

Oh, Lars is just trying to divert attention away from his crappy ma—um, er, never mind.

<span style='font-size:10pt;line-height:100%'><span style='color:719b00'>&lt;BLEH!&gt;</span></span> Man, I'll have to keep that in mind when I'm running out of steam on the elliptical trainer tomorrow! You're right—a squishy bag of fat, perhaps dripping out all over the place, has it all over...

Well, now that we all know the indispensable Standard Brick/Human Adipose Tissue Conversion Factor (one wonders how we ever got along without it?), that question is a snap: 1 lb fat = .45 standard brick so <span style='color:ff4000'>5 lbs fat =</span> <span style='color:red'>2¼ standard...

The gym I go to sometimes has those anatomical replicas of fat and muscle lying around, and I've wondered just where they get them from. The five-pound fat replica definitely gives one pause before dropping by the local Krispy Kreme. (Oh, given the international character of the board: that's a...

Oh, no, problem, Lars. I had a feeling you were rounding for convenience. I wasn't at all trying to make a statement about your math skills. I might have misinterpreted the phrase which might mean <ul>&quot;a quarter of&quot; (as in &quot;25 is a quarter of 100&quot;), &quot;a quarter less...

BTW, I wasn't trying to dis tigerfan_9 by not using his figures, and, in fact, if I had used them, it would have made the calculations a little easier. Using tigerfan_9's figure of 1lb fat = 29.40 cubic in, a pound of fat is roughly 45% the size of a standard brick (so, real close to the other...

First: I think that's correct. Second: Huh? Let's take a currency example: $1.22 is 22% more than $1.00. $1 is 18% less than (not 22% and certainly not a quarter of) $1.22. Third: Anecdotally, I can stand to lose, oh, about, 7-8 pounds around my midsection, which is in no way (thank...
