Food with carbs. E.g. oat, yam, brown rice, sweet potatoes and coffee.

How much is whey?? I would like to try it out first, how much is one small bottle?

I am 48 kg 165CM, less of weight. From the beginner I'm decided going to GNC for more information, they recommend gain weight powder for me. Although I want build muscle, but come from the first point I have to gain weight after that muscle right? In the same time can I mix them protein powder and gain weight powder ? I really don't want have those big big muscle as you know I wanna be stronger, because for my age now I am really thin.

What makes you think it is so easy to get big immediately? Do you think those powders can turn you into the Hulk overnight?

Nonono..I just wanna looking fit. I believe healthy food should have a good result become fit.

for your case, i think good exercise and sufficient protein and calories can keep you fit.

can a 16 year old take supplements or will there be terrible side effects?plan on taking lipo 6 and ON whey

160cm
63kg
-Man Boobs =.=

i do HIIT thrice a week,and as for nutrition,i try to eat healthy but sometimes i eat unhealthy coz of the food my maid cooks

any advice?

You have to workout as well if not your whey will in the end be urinated out from your body.

HIIT is good. What you can do to speed up the process is cut down your carb (e.g rice, white bread, potato) intake. trust me, you should be able to see progress in 2 weeks or so

As for man boobs...it will be longer coz u have to lose overall body fats. But no biggie...once u start HIIT, you will be motivated with the results.

But must make sure you are discipline about it. 3 times a week is good. Cut down on carbs and oily food and you should have good progress.

all the best bro.


Oh also, skip the whey and lipo 6.

1 noob ques..how to make diy protein shake?

Hi, I have been working out for about 2-3months now and i am really really bad in the nutrients section. tell me your opinion on my supplements.

for pre workout: NO-Xplode pre extreme pre workout (on empty stomach)
during workout: i just drink heaps of water
Post workout:within 30mins of my workout i take 2 scoops of Muscle Milk with water
Before bedtime: 2 scoops of Muscle Milk with milk

for my breakfast lunch and dinner, i've been trying to control the calorie intakes and up protein and carbs. but it will take awhile to have full awareness on that.. but for my supplements what do you guys think?

One has to consume X g of Protein of his X pound of body weight.

Does this apply to work out day only or everyday?

Normally people take more protein on workout day but not on non workout day, I wonder why? On non workout day, the muscle is being repaired, so it needs protein too. I remember that someone said, the muscle grow when it rest but not when you workout.

From this statement, I THINK that protein consuming equally important on both workout or non-workout day. Anyone please comment?

Yes. Yes. Yes.

Ya. My friend at start just work out but can't get the muscle he wish. Then he start taking protein and then only can see the meat coming out.

I heard the protein is quite expensive. must be not easy to maintain that muscle. I just started to join my friend. Any idea where can get discounted protein.

i think i'll go broke if i eat all the above food before i see any muscle

try garage sales.
scivation is a good and cheap protein whey.

offering my banal remarks to spark abler talk from you guys~
1. How much protein do you guys eat every day?
2. what is the macronutrient breakdown of you guys diet?
ie. my diet is of 55-15-30(carb-protein-fat), roughly 2500 kcal per day
translate into 350g carb, 100g protein, 80g fat per day

since i am not much into bodybuilding, I am doubtful about consuming too much protein, as many healthy professional said, too much protein is taxing to the kidney
eating too much protein:

guys, what do yall think?

I consume about 125-140g of protein a day. From a 2000-2200kCal diet.

My breakdown is 50:25:25 - I'm into bodybuilding right now.

As for too much protein, i not sure about that. From what I know, if you eat more protein, you have to drink more water to aid your kidney. It's ok for normal person to eat about 30% protein i guess, provided they drink a lot of water. For kidney patient, it is not advicable to eat alot of protein.

That is what I know. will hear what others say

2. Around 45:30:25, 2000-2100 kcal p/d

Cutting phase.

Hey guise,

15 eggs daily is it too much?

- 5 eggs for breakfast (2 whole, 3 whites only).
- 5 eggs (whites only) pre-workout.
- 5 eggs (whites only) dinner (right after workout).

Lunch & Dinner = Tuna, Chicken Breast, Beef.

I don't take whey protein.
