andrew.anderson Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 To answer the original question listed in post # 1....drink more water and try to use alternate forms of protein intake. Meaning, not just the protein shake stuff. Tuna, eggs, meat, some beans etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTTuner Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 canned Tuna man. Each little can is stacked with protein. Only 120 calories, but 30 grams of protein. 2 bucks. Beat me to it. When I was younger and going to the gym regularly tuna fish all day the day before a workout was like superman! Tuna FTW man! "Creatine" Helps you pass drug tests. Do not use if you have heart problems or are a diabetic! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BDII Posted April 2, 2008 Author Share Posted April 2, 2008 for the most part.... whey protein is whey protein You drink it or eat it. Need forum help? Private Message legGTLT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BDII Posted April 3, 2008 Author Share Posted April 3, 2008 Depends... most Whey proteins you find at GNC (canada?) is all the same. it's called pre-digested whet peptides. Basically its Whey broken down to it's simpliest form for easier digestion. Need forum help? Private Message legGTLT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gire Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 Seb- just hit up a knowledgeabe staff member at GNC. Don't let them suck you in to their 'musty have multi-vits' story though... if you truly eat a healthy balanced diet, you don't need multi-vits. You'd just pee them out.

I said "not just whey protein" meaning replace some of those grams of protein with somethign other then whey. You can get away with about 80-100 grams from shakes, bars etc. and the rest from subsidizing your diet with the items I mentioned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even though I only eat 3 yolks? Today I ate no yolks because your scaring me. I know there is cholesterol, but I think egg whites are great for you with little to no cholesterol.

Rilla, this was the first website to pop up on google, when I typed in "recommended intake of eggs". read up. http://food.ivillage.com/mainingredient/eggsdairy/0,,5x4,00.html I thought this was common knowledge? Well, maybe not... I had a public health nurse for a mother so I grew up on lots of health facts. The amount of pamphlets she gave to me as a teen was staggering.

FJuan Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 BD, it sounds like you either have... A) Lack of good Intestinal bacteria B) Intaking to much protein at one time that your body cannot break down properly. One solution is supplementing more Lactobacillus acidophilus into your diet plan either once or twice a day to balance out the flora in your system . You can eat yogurt which contains Lactobacillus, but in your situation I would recommend taking OTC pills which you can find at any drug store. FYI - It takes about 2 days before you start seeing results (less gas). My wife's balls are delicious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jomamma Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 i just read this whole thread and not 1 person knows what they are talking about whey protien is not the king of protiens. whey protien is a fast metabolizing protien. it's best to consume right after your work out has completed. whey protien has the same BV(biological value) as any other milk protien. you shouldn't take whey protien prior to bed, as it will completely metabolize with in 2 hours. casien protien should be taken prior to bed as it's metabolic rate last up to 8 hours. you should research BV of protiens to learn what's "best" example certain beef protiens have a BV of 120%. where as tofu has an average BV of 60-70. so 20g of tofu has about half the BV of beef. long story short. make natural foods your staple for protien and use the powders for what they're meant for.... supplements. take whey 2 hours prior to lifting and as soon as you finish. take a casien (milk) protien before bed. i have to ingest over 300g of protien daily. my food bill is insane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jomamma Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 and to the op. up your carb intake to gain lbs. your body will piss out the extra amminos it can't use. find out your bmr (basal metabolic rate) this the amount of calories needed to sustain your current weight. add 500 calories daily to that rate. 3500 calories is a pound. 500 per day x 7= 1 lb per week. adust daily intake if you feel 1 lb/week is to much. this formula is also what sum1 should use to lose body fat.

andrew.anderson Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 Actually, joma is just stating what most bodybuilding professionals will support. Most experts agree that Casiene is a better 'night time' protein. I just don't like the way he opened his argument and I wanted to be mean to someone.

j0ebert Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 Ideally you want both if you're trying to bulk. He was just saying there are better proteins to take before bed instead of the whey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpecBee Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 +1 on the yogurt. Get the plain fat free large 2 pint sizes. It's cheaper. It may take two weeks to notice the diff. Also Papaya juice is good for digestion as well. Or just get the acidophilus liquid and add a spoonful to each shake. Go to Calorie-count.com to calculate your weight goals for gaining or loosing... Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jomamma Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 Why would you want a "night time" protein vs a whey protein after a workout? Educate a total n00b here o.k. canuck i will try and explain for you. being that whey can be digested within 2 hours, you would be starving your muscles for the remainder of your slumber. casein breaks down at a slower rate and keeps your muscles in a + nitrogen balance.
