I've read a few recent articles that imported rice has high levels of lead.

A little outside the box, but could it be that a warm mug of liquid relaxes you and makes you sleepy? Warm drinks do that to me if they're not caffeinated.

You don't need an MRI to diagnose a concussion. It sounds as though you may be dealing with one though. Concussions are tough because you mostly just have to wait them out. If you can deal with the...

This is probably way off base, but I thought I'd throw it out there. I recently dealt with a concussion and had persistent symptoms exactly with the ones you listed below.
Chronic Headaches...

Different types of squashes are usually extremely cheap as well. Don't fear potatoes because of the carbs.

One apple is not enough carbs if strength and mass are your goals! Don't fear fructose or starch! You're a young male with not metabolic problems, not an older, sedentary overweight adult. Add in a...

I would suggest upping your protein as well. If your goal is to build muscle, P90X might not be the right program for you. I would get on a starting strength or other beginner lifting program. It's...

If you post a whole day's worth of food it might be helpful to get a better idea of your overall intake

There aren't really any foods that aid in muscle soreness if you did a ton of activity in a day that you're not used to. As long as you're getting adequate protein and a good amount of carbohydrates...

I love the chicken thighs idea. I did this all summer when they would go on sale. BBQ up a huge batch and keep them in the fridge for snacks.

That's funny, I'm the exact opposite. I feel like I can really focus and have great mental clarity after I train. What about lying down and relaxing peacefully for 20min before you hit the books?...

I go through periods of being on or off dairy depending what my training schedule is. I also find that the more I eat dairy the more I want it. I just chalk it up to it being delicious. I stick to...

Great post, thanks for breaking that down.

Agreeing with everyone here. The probiotics in pill form provided transient benefits. They're good to take if you really need a boost in gut flora but won't "repopulate" your flora for a long period...

That's what I figured, thanks for the tips.

Is two hours enough to extract all those good minerals from the bones? I thought that 12+hrs is needed but would be very happy if it only took two!

Yellow mustard and some of the fancier ones are usually pretty safe as long as you read the labels.

Lately I've been having a big bowl of pumpkin for dessert. Pure pumpkin with lots of pumpkin pie spice and some stevia. I like to put it in the freezer for a little bit too so it's nice and cold.

What does your diet typically look like in a day?

All good advice above. The only thing I would add is that eating out doesn't necessarily mean you have to eat poor food. Most places have salads, steaks, grilled fish, etc. You can stay very primal...

Is the bone broth recommendation because the injury is to bone? Does the same advice ring true for a soft tissue injury like a muscle strain?

Nothing appalling at all!

Could be the probiotic or perhaps the dairy. Try cutting those to see if it improves.

I have lousy teeth too so thanks for starting this thread. Fruit is the worst for me as far as making my teeth extremely sensitive. My enamel is fading as well. I've been playing around with oil...

Would he be able to stomach liquid calories in the morning? I shake with coconut milk, avacado, almond or peanut butter, etc. can be very calorie dense and might not make him sick like solid food.
