Sorry man I really don't encourage this.

Although it may (or may not) damage the protein, overcooking the egg like this definitely changes the molecular structure of the egg, which is probably not healthy (just like overcooking meat on a barbeque is asking for cancer).

I don't boil my eggs for anything longer than 4 mins.

So a hard boil egg is not good to consume?

Hey some of you guys don't know how good you have it. I'm 189cm and 58kg.

Yeah, I know I need to eat, but at 19 and just about to start university I can't really afford all the expenses. How do you guys (students) cope? I mean there's a shitload of food to buy, gym membership, protein. Very frustrating lol.
Btw is 3200kcal a day good enough to see gains (of any kind)?

You first word kind a confusing to me rclxub.gif Nevertheless, I am currently in the same boat as you. Still studying with not so much money so this is what I do.

1. Work as a part time. You have to and you need to. Just like what rc2x said. I do part time job every weekend and I can get RM 120. That can last me for the week.

2. If you can cook, you better cook. If you compared buying food from outside than cooking them, you will found out that cooking them is far more cheaper. For example, 1 serving of white rice can easily priced at RM 1.50 but 10kg of 'beras' is RM 15.00.

3. Your university should have a gym. If it is a well equipped gym, then use it. If not, there is no other way. Beggars can't be choosers.

4. Supplements are not a necessity. A good diet, a good workout and a good rest are needed. You can spend your money to buy supps but if you don't even have enough money to eat foods to meet your calorie intake, then it will be just a waste.

5. Again, supps is not a necessity. Just want to make sure that this point is heard.

And if you need to ask whether 3200kcal is enough for you, then you need to do some calculating. There is a lot of posts lately on how you can calculate your required calorie.

taking mass gainer supplement without body exercise, will the supplement just wasted, or still the body will be able to absorb and body put on weight?

i'm using inner armour hardmass now. gaining about ~2 to 3kg since 24th aug.

All those extra calories will go to all those fats and you'll wish that you didn't do that in the first place.

Hey Kyo, I'd like to put on some weight too, could you give me some tips on how to do it efficiently ?

I'm 23 this year with a height of 170 cm and have been staying at 61 kg on the weighing scale for a few years now. I can eat 2-3 bowls of rice for lunch and dinner ( but i usually skip breakfast as I sleep rather late and have supper instead ).

I just started to switch to bulking mode. Unsure whether it is sufficient enough ...

Height : 178cm, Weight : 80-81kg

Weekdays
----------
1. Breakfast - Cornflakes + pumpkin seed + almond mix with low fat milk and protein shakes
2. Lunch - Rice (slightly more than 1 clenched of first) + 2 pieces of omelets + 1/2 Vege + 3 types of meats ... Quite heavy
3. Dinner - Usually after workout, protein shakes will be the one. Once a week, will have broccoli, salmon, dim sum, eggs.

Weekend
---------
1. Breakfast - Cornflakes + pumpkin seed + almond mix with low fat milk + protein shakes
2. Lunch - Diversify - It can be noodles, fried rice ....
3. Dishes

Well, weekend could be junkie days for me but when back to weekdays, it will be totally different.

Any ideas if I able to bulk ? I don't really extreme bulk ... My goal is to build more muscle mass ... Used to bulk and tone to get the shape ...

Let me know if you need more information. Thanks.

Total calorie for this diet? What's you calorie maintenance?

Cutting mode is around : 1500+ calories with whey protein
Bulking mode is around : 1800+ calories with muscle mass protein (additional 300 calories)

That is for weekdays, but for weekend my calories tend to be slightly higher.

Seems like really insufficient ......

are you being serious?

I feel a little awkward by the way, but of course I don't intention to be a body builder ... I just want to have a nice shape of muscular body ... maybe we can PM to talk things in detail ..

Well, I'm in the middle of final exam week so I don't think that is possible at the moment. Sorry. But you can refer to the 3 links on my signature since you are seriously didn't know much about nutrition.

hi guys, if i'm doing cardio (squash) and hitting the gym few times a week,
and i want to gain some volume to my body ( i assume its called bulking ), should I start dirty bulking?
cuz even if i drink gainers/proteins, eat regularly (only breakfast, lunch, dinner), i seem to just be getting fitter (i see some shape but its still considered skinny).

Have a read on several stickies thread here such as this one. You'll understand what you actually need.

my body type is ectomorph with 5 feet 9 inch and 57kg. very skinny.

i plan to reach 70kg weight by lifting and high protein diet. but i wonder, will i lose back if i reduce my lifting workout and eat just normal 3 meals instead of 5-6 meals per day ?

in another words, will i stay on at 70kg if i stop working out and eating 3-4 meals per day ?
*
Since I'm in a good mood albeit a bit tired today, I'll answer your questions.

Meal timing will never effect your progress. Doesn't matter if you eat 1 time a day or 10 times a day, it is all about calorie in vs calorie out. If you do consumed enough calorie for you to grow, then you'll grow. If you eat 10 times a day but you never consumed calorie to even fulfill your TDEE, then you'll never grow.

Is there any method than high protein may I ask?

Hi All,

I have a few questions I want to ask about my food intake that is shown below:

1. What other on-the-go real meals that I can take to substitute the true mass?
2. It looks like I do not have enough Sodium and Sugar. What are the food that I can take that can fill up the missing Sodium and Sugar?

On the go as in food you can buy from shop? I'll say KFC. It's chicken, and it's high in sodium.
