FAQ: Best QUALITY, but least expensive sources of protein given todays inflation of food prices?

You can't always trust what's on the food label of a product under the heading of "protein".  It's not that companies mislead you (they don't), it's that not all protein is created as equal when you look at muscle building properties.
 
We dive into that AND answer the question on how to stretch your dollar and meet your daily protein goals (plus some extras!)

FAQ: Is salt bad? (Perspectives for the backcountry AND long-term health)

We could argue there's been nothing more controversial in the world of nutrition than carbs, dietary fat, and salt.
 
One minute you hear we should have no sodium and most recently that we should be eating more.  What complicates the matter is the backcountry meals we consume contain almost 100% of our daily salt need.  What's THAT mean for our long-term health?
 
We dive into that and more this week on the podcast!

FAQ: Will shift work (random eating times and sitting all day) wreck my health?

"My job causes me to eat at random times and sit for prolonged periods.  What are the negative effects of eating this way, if any?  With such little usage of calories and energy throughout my day, my concern is that I will improperly balance what my body needs/doesn’t need?"
 
If you're a medical professional, military, law enforcement, (or even a parent for that matter!) who is forced to work random hours,  you'll want to listen to this!

Ep 27: FAQ How do I manage my nutrition and training around the holidays? (Operation Net Zero)

"I want to enjoy the celebrations with friends and family, but I don’t want to do it SO much that I find myself having to make a ton of ground up by the first of the year..."
 
Sound familiar?  You wouldn't be alone if so...
 
It’s a great question and one we’ve built a strategy for that we outline here.  We also tackle questions like: 
Why does the weight go up so much after 1 meal?”  Is there really that little margin?….and what do I do with that?
How do you account for stuff you didn’t make yourself in MFP?
How do you deal with the abundance of holiday office parties, family gatherings, etc.  Should I just skip?
