how much carbs are there in an average banana? is it recommended to take one or two before workout?

whoa..... thts a lot of eggs

hey wats the best whey product out there? i've used ON 100% whey but i mite just switch to muscletech nitrotech soon. is it any better? will i see results if i stick to a clean diet plus sufficient workout? cuz using the ON, i havent gained much muscle mass.

but tht could be due to me not eating enuff, i dunno. lol

yeah whey isn't filling.

hey i've been working out for a few months now but i still havent seen significant gains to bod. my diet mainly consists of this:

breakfast: 4 eggs whites + 3 beef/chicken slices + 1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil

snack: 30g of almonds / 2 teaspoons of PB / an ounce of low-fat cheese

lunch: fresh vegetables + 2 meat slices + 4 egg whites

snack again

dinner: tonnes of vege and beef/chicken/fish

before sleep: a scoop of whey + 250 ml of HL milk

i also tried supplements like nutrex massxxplosion. can anyone help me with my diet? i'm not trying to lose weight, just trying to build some lean muscle mass.

so eating whole eggs isn't as bad as people make it out to be? awesome-est. i'm so sick of separating the whites from the yolk everyday. waste of time.

but just to clarify things, the fat content in the yolk will not increase our bodyfat percentage rite? i'm adhering to a low carb, high protein and moderate fats diet.

so if i eat 10-12 eggs in a day with the yolk, it should be ok rite? no side effects or anything rite?

yeah i dun eat carbs until the weekends, and that too depends whether i have any special cravings. if not, i wud continue my usual diet throughout the weekend too. i eat a lot of protein and moderate fats, like snacks of almonds/a slice of cheese/2 teaspoons of peanut butter and i try to have at least two teaspoons of flaxseed in the morning plus two tablespoons of olive oil for every meal. i dun eat chicken skin tho, and i always get lean cuts of beef/chicken.

hey does microwaving eggs denature the protein and its biological value?

how about grilling chicken? does this mess up the protein/biological value in any way?

and i've this old school toaster/oven were its like a box and u put ur stuff on a tray, close the oven and presto ure heating up whatever it is ure heating up. does it mess up the food's protein value?

i just had a low carb pancake for breakfast. the ingredients were basically 6 whole eggs, 2/3 cups of cream, and 2 tablespoons of olive oil. it was goood stuff......

coconut oil? haha i dunno about tht. but i've got this book named 'tnt diet' and its full of good recipes for low carb dieters. in fact, i'm gonna try this almond crusted chicken recipe.

just asking, is mayonnaise reali bad for health? i onli take once in a while, but just curious....

oh and is vadai masala carbs? im asking cuz its made from kacang kuda, which is a type of nut, but now my co-worker said its made of kacang kuda "flour". so is it carbs or fats?

and i thought u get salmonella poisoning from eating raw eggs? can anyone address this?

i reali like this high fat high protein low carb diet. i feel more energetic and i feel full at all times. just one question, can i eat as much fat as i want on this diet or do i have to somehow limit my intake?

hey i was wondering, lets say i've got a dinner this sat and its gonna involve a lot of food, will it affect my progress? i've been on the high fats high protein low carb diet for a while now... should i lay off the high amount of fats prior to the dinner or should i just continue with my diet and take the dinner as a cheat meal and continue the diet the next day?
