Snacking (in a healthy manner) is an essential part of a balanced diet. While we try to eat our typical meals throughout the day, life gets in the way. We may work odd hours or be caught waiting for a train or plane when traveling. A delicious, healthy snack will help you out in these situations, as well as be perfect if you’re trying to lead a healthier lifestyle but are always on the go. You could choose to hit up the vending machine, but that won’t really satisfy your hunger or be a healthy option if you’re trying to lose weight.

Non-exercise activity thermogenesis (NEAT) is simply the calories we burn from doing day-to-day tasks like shopping for groceries and cleaning the house. It is important because it can help us better manage our weight without even going to the gym.

IFBB Pro, Mr. USA Nick “3D” Trigili is on the rise. His channel is blowing up, his tips are second to none, and his view counts are going through the roof. Comments are up, likes are up, and just around 50% of his views are coming from subscribed viewers. This means he can still grow substantially more. His sponsors have changed from Savior to Chicken Pound to Old School Labs, though, he may be working with all of them. One thing’s for sure, he seems to be upping his game every time I check out the channel. In fact, he rarely reads my DM’s anymore, but I get it, he’s super busy and I’m happy for him.

Yes, unfortunately the great Nick Walker dubbed “The Mutant” for carrying darn near 300lbs of muscle, has blocked your ole buddy Christian Duque, for being an objective journalist. In all my years covering bodybuilding, I could count the top pro’s that have blocked me on one hand. There’s Phil Heath, and there’s Nick Walker. No other top bodybuilder has ever done that. And believe you me, there’s bodybuilders that I’ve grilled, I mean really put on the spot, but none have blocked me. I have been blocked by other top bodybuilders, but many years after their best years were behind them. And even these grumpy has-beens don’t keep me blocked for long.

Fitness trackers have become quite popular lately as more and more people are checking their statistics thanks to the introduction of innovative technology. Unfortunately, even with today’s technology helping to improve health and fitness levels, most people are still not physically active throughout the day. In fact, according to the US Department of Health and Human Services, studies show that less than 5% of adults participate in half an hour of physical activity every day.

It’s true; I’m not going to lie, most vanilla flavor protein powders taste like crap. There’s very little money in protein. It’s very expensive to make, it ships in 2lb or 5lb tubs, which take up a lot of inventory space and expiration dates are very much the hourglasses that keep investors and corporate officers at edge.

The news that IFBB Pro Evan Centopani officially retired made the rounds very quickly throughout the fitness industry. Although he hadn’t competed in quite some time, there were credible reports that he was in full prep for the 2020 NY Pro; however, when it moved to Florida, that no longer made it a contest in his own backyard. Who knows what would have happened had Centopani taken the stage in 2020.
