You should only be going up by the bare minumum when increasing weight. Not by 5kg. That's stupid.Kampframmer wrote:
how do you go up 1 or 2kg? The smallest plates my gym has is 2.5kg so i have to up at least 5kg
Yes. I use whey. It makes my recovery faster after a workout. It's just a food supplement though, it really makes no massive difference to working out. It is cheaper.Kampframmer wrote:
Any of you guys use whey? Because I want to know how you can keep up with the costs. I bought a 5lbs tub at the start of the month and i think it last just another week or so.
5lbs per month of protein.
Fuck yeah
@ Jebus - That's far too much protein in one serving before bed. You should be spreading out your protein across the day.
My diet consists:
Morning:
3 eggs + oats
Mid-morning snack:
cottage cheese
Lunch:
Tin of tuna + wholewheat pasta / 2 chicken breasts
Post-workout:
Shake + banana
Dinner:
Vegetables (anything really)
Chicken breasts
Before bed:
Cottage cheese
Total protein: 7x3 + 22 + 40g + 24 + 50 + 22
= 162g approximately.
I vary depending on how much I weigh. I've lost about 3kg in the past two weeks due to a problem with my shoulder.
Also, Jebus how much do you weigh now?
man your sodium intake is pretty high
edit" cholesterol intake seems high also

I would ask the manager to get in some 2.5KG plates, and maybe some 1KG plates too.
we have 2.5kg plates. Whats with peoples reading these days?
And its a chain of large gyms, not a small gym with an owner thats always present. I wouldnt even know who the owner is, so I'm pretty much stuck with what i got

Where's my high sodium intake? The cottage cheese I take is low in sodium... and the rest of the foods contain little to none. A tin of tuna only contains about 10% of your daily sodium recommended value.11 Bravo wrote:

And the cholesterol intake is absolutely perfect. The whole "lots of eggs give you high cholesterol" is a total myth. It's all bullshit, and people should know this by now. It's been on the news for a good few years. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/7882850.stm
I've researched this enough to know that my diet is perfectly healthy.
@ Kamp - I can read perfectly thank you very much. I was saying that you shouldn't be going up by that much. I never asked why you couldn't and as you've said your gym only supplies 2.5kg plates... but that's not really an excuse. Go buy some 1kg or 0.5kg plates and bring them in. You cannot simply go up another 5kg when you feel like it - because if you are, then you aren't working out at the best weight for you in the first place, which means it's useless.
I think my brother has some 0.5 and 1 plates, I'll check if those fit
how many milligrams per day of sodium do you take in?Zimmer wrote:

I try to get in enough protein every meal, but it can be hard to do so when I'm 'on the road'. I haven't found a store that sells nuts around here.Zimmer wrote:

By the way, I believe there's no scientific evidence that for example you can only process xx grams of protein per meal (I'm not saying you said that )
I'm at 71.5kgs now for 1m70. Snowboarding and exams (Meaning 2 months of inconsistent lifting) really took a toll on my weight..
Anyone know where i could get some of those small plates?Zimmer wrote:

Afternoon, muscular dudes. Was hoping for a bit of advice. I'm currently doing pretty alright at the gym and slowly putting on some muscle, however I'd still like to lower my body fat % a bit for pool party season come May. What's the best way to do this? Should I keep working out and eating large amounts as I am now to help build muscle, and then a month or so before start dieting seriously to drop the last bit of fat? Or just keep going as I am now and hope I lose it like that?
I think the way most people do it is to keep bulking for another month, maybe less. Then you can start cutting by dropping the intake by like 500 calories or something.
If you really want to lose BF you should eat less, but with a high amount of protein. Keep working out as you do, and do some cardio as well. Maybe HIIT or something (it has a wiki page). You could go on the way you do with eating, but i doubt you'll lose that much BF
a 500 calorie defict is the most common. So you need to find out how much calories you burn in a day, and then get a diet thats abut 500 under that. Personally, i'dd try aiming at 2000 so you wont starve, but still loose weight/bfPrivateVendetta wrote:

Downside to a calorie defict is that you might loose some muscle mass.

Can a couple of you guys who take your diets seriously just post the sort of stuff you'd eat in a typical day. ie breakfast, lunch, dinner, plus snacks. I'm having a hard time deciding exactly what to eat.

Throughout the day I have a slim fast meal bar, a 90 calorie snack bar, a slim fast shake, two handfuls of baby carrots, 1 package of instant oatmeal, 1 cup of organic applesauce, 1 cup of yogurt, 1 cup of jello, 1 cup of pudding, 1 bottle of fruit-2-day, 1 can of chicken with organic mustard (dont like tuna) with 14 kashi crackers
