I've been reading quite a bit about macronutrient timing, and the studies cited in those articles would seem to contradict what you're saying here.Jaekus wrote:

There's been studies done to show that eating one massive meal is no different to eating 17 small meals in a 24 hour period as far as metabolism goes, despite popular belief.
Rapidly digestible protein (ie, whey) with simple carbs within 45 min of a strenuous workout does far more than just eating a high-protein meal after.
Of course, ensuring one is getting the right amounts of those macronutrients (protein, carbs, fats) over the course of a day is most important.

Yeah I totally agree. Pre and post workout nutrition is vital. But I was talking about his macronutrient intake in regards to studying uni; I wasn't expecting him to be working out whilst in class.FEOS wrote:

I hate protein bars, or any kind of bar marketed to fit the 'work-out-lifestyle'.
The ones that are good are extremely expensive. Most brands are over 2euros a bar, eating 1 bar a day makes that a pretty expensive snack.
The ones that are affordable are pretty much a candy bar nutrition wise.
I make my own. Same nutritional values as the high end brands, but at a fraction of the price.
I'm not familiar with the ones you mentioned though. But if theyre any good and you can afford it, go for it.

Eating two of them is 400kcals and 40g of protein. Ive used that to more or less substitue meals, but only if it would mean having no meal if i didn't.
I just eat them with lunch. They dont fill me up all that much so I can always stuff one in next to my lunch. The extra 200kcals and 20 of protein helps.
e: i'll put up the recipe for the bars i make shortly. Ive put a recipe here before, but i believe those were the ones you had to stick in the freezer. Theyre about the same nutrition-wise but these dont require freezing and wont melt.

3 cups of oats, 4 scoops of whey (i use chocolate, ive heard vanilla also tastes good), 1 spoonfull of pb (heat it up a bit so it mixes easier) and 1 cup of milk (i use whole, use whichever milk you like but change the macros).
Stir all of it until it becomes a batter. You can make mixing it easier by heating up the pb (as mentioned before) and use oat-flour/powder (i sometimes just stick it in the blender to make it into a fine powder, but this isnt necessary)
Put all of it in a container that you can spread it out in, thick enough to make decent sized bars and then stick it in the fridge. Cut into 8 bars after 24h. They get harder as you keep them in the fridge longer, so always take one out and leave the rest in. Theyre pretty much 100% solid after 3 days or so.
You can take these with you (unlike the freezer ones), but they do tend to get a little bit soft and sticky.

I made my own Calorie Tracker (and learned about Excel in the process). It works really well and turns out just through regular eating I get easily 200g of protein a day, often more, though my minimum is 150g.
(open in a new tab for the full size image)
As you can see for breakfast today I had a scoop of whey (30g) but add the protein in the oats and milk and that brings it up to around 45g (I weigh everything up on a set of kitchen scales).
If anyone wants a copy I can email one either with the foods I've got included or blank (add your own foods on the data page)

I use an app
I used to but I find this more accurate for my needs.
Today we went through my 1RM, which I've never done before.
Bench press: 75kg
Squat: 130kg
Deadlift: 135kg
It's interesting setting your own benchmarks. My next goal is to make all these my working weight of around 6 reps.

I thought I was doing pretty well on the cross-trainer - until someone showed me it could be switched on.

Temp PT as my regular PT is over in the UK.
Yesterday he forced me through a 30 minute crossfit workout. I was utterly fucked by the end of it. He said he was going easy on me

why do gym memberships seem to have more restrictions and gotcha fees than frequent flyer miles? i mean is the only way to make money as a gym is to nip at the wallet with stupid fees and contracts or is it just extra money for the trophy wife?
What are you looking at dicknose

I think it was this one...but I seem to remember the article I read also talking about the nickle and dime issue, as well. I'll keep looking.

Not sure what you guys are on about. I pay $14.50 a week and can access any Goodlife gym in Australia I want as many times as I want for as long as I want. No other charges, though I don't do any group classes.
I pay my PT into his own business account which is separate from the gym as he works there as a contractor and pays the gym a weekly fee from his own income.
