1st Place: Wheat germ. 2nd Place: soybeans. 3rd place: Beans! Beans! First two are ridiculously high. I'm practically a fertilizer factory on wheat germ. Still trying to sort out the "uremic toxin" designation spermidine has. However, wheat germ is the best off the shelf band-aid in a jar. Ur blood pressure will drop just eating this crap. Ok. You’ve got me interested. The research says very nutritious, etc, and it’s cheap. I ordered the Bobs Red Mill wheat germ and it arrives tomorrow. How much are you taking? Time of day relevant? 100g was the benchmark I used. 100g=100ml. I eat OMAD from 4 to 8pm time slot. I do it this way because it is easier for me to skip breakfast & lunch since I wake up 12h fasted anyways. However, the science says I'm stupid for that & that protein synthesis is primed for anabolism from 6 to 10am according to circadian rhythms. So, I ought be eating breakfast from 6 to 10am instead of late afternoon. Oh yeah....I mix the wheat germ with kefir as anything fermented boosts spermidine production. I throw cinnamon on it, a carmitive, so I'm not farting all day.

100 grams...that is a lot of wheat germ (about 1.25 cups). Did you notice any benefits before eating this much?
thanks

No. Just farted a bit more than I like. I added a carminative, cinnamon. I am high dosing at 100g for 2 weeks & then cutting back to maintenance dose.

That seemed reasonable to me ATT. In any event, I'm dropping it to a maintenance dose as it's been 2 weeks already for my attack dose. I feel great. Wish I'd done it sooner.

In addition to my previous comments about Spermidine, I incorporated heavy leg training twice weekly for the anabolic effect it provides. I had no science behind doing so other than my native intelligence & experience. I wanted the added stimulus of the healing factor growth hormone provides. I ensured I stopped all caffeine & chocolate intake by 2pm & hit the rack at 10pm. 10 to 2am is peak release for GH during sleep.
The leg routine is simple. It's an OCI leg press against the wall. Unilateral training with knee bent perpendicular (long muscle length). Left side: Monday. Right side: Tuesday. Rest on Wednesday. Repeat. Standard 4 day split. I skip rope after my iso session afterwards. 3 minute rounds/1 minute rest. 18 minutes total work time. Skipping rope helps with my shoulders too.
I ingest a package of unflavoured beef gelatin on a empty stomach with 500mg of drinkable Vitamin C, 30 to 60 minutes, prior to any training. I have my OMAD & wheat germ soon afterwards.

I gave up wheat germ years ago when I discovered the toxicity of the standard gluten grains; barley, rye, oats, wheat & spelt. The irritation I experienced from the (Kretschmer's) wheat germ then went away. I'm sticking with legumes and doing fine.
I eat protein when I feel hungry for it and let my body sort it out as it will, along with its continual disassembling of dead tissue and such for recycling the protein and other retrievable nutrients to make them available for re-use. There may be times of day when the body is more active in certain functions, but I believe these processes are, more or less happening all the time* and I trust the wisdom of my body to do it correctly and to heal itself. It's not like the body only uses protein between 6a and 10a or whatever. Besides, with DST, the time "changes" twice per year, so that throws a monkey wrench into it, doesn't it? No interest in micro-managing my food, my exercise, my weight or much of anything, really.
* I mean, what are the actual percentages of difference in use volume between a few specific hours (& in which time zone?) and the rest of the day, week or month to make meal timing of great importance? I'm not a bb'er or competitor, so don't need an extra 0.001% edge in muscle development or performance.
I could probably do some research to find the answers to my questions or confirmations to my beliefs on this topic, but I guess I don't care enough about it to dig in right now. If someone has links to that info, I'd be happy to check it out though. :-)

I repeat the same pattern every year it seems. Christmas gets me used to eating more. I gain a bit of weight during the first few months of the year. Then I get very lean over summer. I’m always stronger when eating more. Getting very lean for me is chore to be honest. I do it each year, but I’m fighting my body all the time. Fasting worked best, but I had to stop that as I was getting some digestive issues. How much of a weight difference is it for You? In the winter months I may gain 5 to 10 lbs. But when spring and summer comes it comes off pretty easy. I'm always soak and wet with sweat from work. I tend to get really busy from March all the way to September/sometimes November. If I lived in a hot climate I would have no problem keeping my weight around 165-170 lbs all year round. Yes probably no more than ten pounds over my average weight, which is around 165 pounds.
