Q&A: Fiber and Counting Carbs, Soy Protein Myths, and Food Combining Diets

Published: Jan. 22, 2021, 11 a.m.

I\u2019ve churned through over 150,000 emails, social media comments and messages, and blog comments in the last 6 years.

\n

And that means I\u2019ve fielded a ton of questions.

\n

As you can imagine, some questions pop up more often than others, and I thought it might be helpful to take a little time every month to choose a few and record and share my answers.

\n

So, in this round, I answer the following three questions:

\n

1) Do you consider fiber intake in your daily total carbohydrate? 

\n

2) Should I stay away from soy? 

\n

3) Should you not combine certain macronutrients in certain meals?

\n

If you have a question you\u2019d like me to answer, leave a comment below or if you want a faster response, send an email to mike@muscleforlife.com.
