How hard of a calorie deficit can you go into if you prioritise protein as the main source of calories before you risk muscle lose? I am 105kg 6ft. Would 1300 be to much of a deficit? Weight train 5 days a week and cardio 7 days.

Of course the ideal is meal prep, but sometimes life gets in the way. Personally, in more than one occasion I’ve forgotten to bring my lunch to work. I usually order either Chipotle or Chick-fil-A. What’s your folk’s go to? And what do you usually order?

Starting a new thread 2 weird food combos that come to mind off the top of my head; 1. Chicken and rice with banana and peanut butter 2. Vegemite, avocado and egg on toast

Anabolic-androgenic steroids (AAS) are synthetic derivatives of testosterone that have both anabolic (muscle-building) and androgenic (masculinizing) effects. While these substances are commonly associated with improving athletic performance or enhancing physical appearance, they come with significant psychological and behavioral consequences. In a paper by Michael S. Bahrke, the full range of these effects is examined, shedding light on the serious mental health risks associated with AAS use. Anabolic-androgenic steroids are often used in two primary ways: by athletes seeking an edge in strength and performance, or by individuals aiming to enhance their appearance by building muscle mass. These substances are typically taken in doses much higher than those used for legitimate medical treatments. This overuse can cause a broad range of psychological and behavioral changes, some of which are severe. Bahrke’s article explores the various psychological impacts of AAS, which include both short-term and long-term effects. In the short term, users may experience mood swings, irritability, or euphoria—often described as a "steroid high." However, these seemingly positive effects are often accompanied by anxiety, insomnia, and aggressive behavior. More seriously, long-term use of AAS has been linked to mood disorders such as depression and anxiety. Some users report feeling highly irritable or experiencing uncontrollable anger, often referred to as "roid rage." These feelings of aggression can sometimes lead to violent behavior, making AAS a potentially dangerous drug not only for users but also for those around them. Bahrke also highlights that the behavioral effects of AAS go beyond mood swings. Some AAS users exhibit risky behavior, including reckless driving, substance abuse, and criminal activities. Additionally, prolonged use may lead to dependency, where users feel compelled to continue using AAS despite negative physical or psychological consequences. One notable behavioral effect of AAS is body image distortion. Many users start using steroids to enhance their appearance, but over time, they may develop an obsessive concern with their physique, often referred to as muscle dysmorphia. This condition can drive individuals to continue abusing AAS in an unhealthy pursuit of perfection, fueling a dangerous cycle.
