nah, i am 21 and thats why my avatar is the way it is. guinness is my fav actually.

thats the only beer my roommate had in the fridge, so we both made avatars while taking a drink.

i consume 250-300 grams of protein daily. i try to hit the 40/40/30%. protein/carb/fat.

300 grams wow which brand of protein do you buy ?
i usualy match my body weight in grams per day

for breakast usually 2 waffles syrup and a bananna

[kittedb18bt]

i get a darn good deal at GNC because i know the manager of the store. bodybuilding.com has better deals overall. just ask around and make sure what you are taking mixes well. nobody likes chunky protein drinks.
i take gnc 100% whey protein-the chocolate flavor. it is actually pretty good and it doesnt upset my stomach.

[Beastiek2]

cool thats exactly what i have been taking it mixes okkkk not the best, and yea ur right about bodybuilding.com i used that site alot in college to split protein with my roomates

My average breakfast looks like this, Egg Sandwich (with cheese and ham), 1 Scoop of 100% whey protein in a cup of milk with celtrum multi vitamin, bannana or apple (usually bannana), and 6 grams of creatine mixed with a juice that has simple sugars such as glucose/dextrose like for example grape juice. Thats my breakfast usually....

I either have:

8 scrambled eggs (4 whole, 4 whites) and 2 pieces of wheat toast and 2 servings of skim milk

-or-

1lb of 1% cottage cheese, 2 pieces of wheat toast, and milk


Kitted, there is no such thing as a 40/40/30% diet, that equals 110%. Also, if you want 40% of your diet to be protein and you consume 3600cals, you need 360g of protien. Also, 250-300g of protein is too much unless you have 250-300lbs of lean body mass. Taking shakes in the morning is not necesary. Shakes should only be used when you need protein and can't get it elsewhere. At breakfast it is very easy to get protein. After my workouts I have a whey shake with maltodextrin to get a rush of protein to my muscles. Also, before bed is the only other time you should need a shake so you can get slow abosorbing protein (egg or casein) to absorb while you sleep.

1 pound of cheese, i would throw up! sorry about the mis-type there of 40-40-30. i believe most people understand what i meant. you do have a lot to learn it seems. you came to the right place. myself as well as a few other members are extremely knowledgeable in the matters of nutrition.

edit: great point on the absorption rate. i never pointed that out to anyone. also, i was wrong in the percentages to make a point. humans tend to stretch their stats to get a point across.
it also seems as though you will be a valuable asset to this forum. welcome.

[cpcg32]

So I am guessing that you go for a 40/40/20?

What do I need to learn? Tell me. Thats why I'm here.

[kittedb18bt]

40/30/30 is what i meant. i am off in my caloric intake which is really about 3200, but i like to think that it is higher to keep me motivated.

the only real problem i had with your post was about when to take protein. your body is rebuilding muscle all the time. although natural sources of protein is more important than supplemental, no natural source compares to the completeness of whey.
protein must be consumed throughout the day, preferably every 2 hours. breakfast on the other hand is where protein actually gets in the way, or hinders the bodys ability to absorb simple carbs to get up and going. then again, as you stated slow absorbing proteins should be taken at the evening-very good point once again. do not eat eggs for breakfast, i dont care if you see bodybuilders eating eggs or egg whites for breakfast. what people need to do is eat pleanty of carbs with a good amount of fibre.

some peoples routines may differ than mine, but i like to tackle my cardio workout during the morning hours right after breakfast. this is why carbs are sooo important. our energy comes from carbs for those that didnt know.

Don't get mad by me asking this but do you even know what whey is? Whey is the same protein that is in milk. By drinking milk and eating dairy products like cottage cheese I am consuming lots of whey protein. Whey is a natural. When your drinking your whey shake you are drinking natural proteins.

[kittedb18bt]

whey is naturally found, but not in the state that we buy it in. therefore, it is not natural, and the body does not break down and absorb supplements (protein powder) as well as it would absorb a food found in its natural state (chicken). that is all that i was trying to say.
i actually thank you for picking apart my posts. this shows me how careless i have become. it also shows that i just want to type and get the post over with instead of putting some real thought into it.
