Calculating your calories: 2 methods to help you manage your intake.
The first step is to figure out how many calories you'd need to maintain your current weight, then from that you can make adjustments to add size, or drop pounds.

Is chocolate milk good to drink after a workout?
When compared to either a carbohydrate supplement, or placebo, it would seem that chocolate milk is superior in replenishing expended muscle glycogen, and has even been shown to result in positive adaptations in both absolute and relative increases in VO2 max.

Intermittent Fasting: Your Questions Answered.
Simply put, intermittent fasting is time-restricted eating. This means eating normally, but only within a predetermined window, outside of which no food is consumed. The length of your eating window and duration of your fast can vary depending on your preferences or the protocol that you choose to follow. In a sense, it's not really about what or how you do it, it's actually about doing less. All you have to do is not eat when you are outside of your eating window.
Is that cup of coffee before a workout a good idea?
It is important to understand that regardless of the source, caffeine will affect all users differently based on their prior level of consumption and tolerance. The research has shown that 3-6 mg per kilogram of body weight, 30-60 minutes before activity may produce the best results, with no increased risk of dehydration or gastrointestinal issues.
Rehab Purgatory.
In the Christian religion, purgatory is an intermediate state between physical death and eternal salvation. In terms of rehab, it’s the point in the recovery process from an injury where pain or discomfort still exists, however you are unlikely to cause any further damage to the tissue in question. Typically, at this point, the injured person has graduated from the care of a doctor and is now working with a trained physical therapist on a return to action plan, with the goal of strengthening the damaged tissue or surrounding areas. Eternal salvation in terms of recovering from an injury in this sense, is being pain free. How long it takes the person to get there, determines how long the injured person ends up staying in rehab purgatory.
