I'm working on a plan for fall/winter checking out all the powders. There are many high calorie gainers with low fat. I'm curios to know if a 620 calorie, 16g protein,1 g. fat, 136 carb powder would help me gain more muscle assuming I'm going to lift really heavy. I'm done dieting, I'm just going to maintain for now until I figure out how to work this out . Since I will probably maintain for now, my weight is 140/ bodyfat is 17.4% . I will grow, I know, but, can I rest assured it won't be fat gain? IP: Logged |

Are you a runner? if not, I would lighten up on the carbs and swap in some more fats. Plus (getting up on my soapbox) you can do much better on your carbohydrates than corn syrup! ------------------ IP: Logged |

Hell no I'm not a runner. Do some speed walking for cardio though. I realize that there are better carbs out there than the mrps I'm writing of, but, my idea was to use them in between whole food feedings as extra calories because its easier to mix up a shake then make a meal every time I need food. You state to lower the carbs though, why? Even if it's earlier in the day? And as for fat, how much more do you suggest?(in the mrp) Remember, I'm really going to be working out quite heavy. If that matters.I'm most likely going to be doing German Volume training. IP: Logged |

You've just described the nutritional profile of my favorite bulking foods......Pasta and oatmeal! I eat tons of it when I'm bulking, but you will put on fat as well as muscle, there's just no way around it for a 'natural'. And both pasta and the MRP you described will give you a large insulin spike. Not really a good idea pre-workout since you will likely 'crash' part-way through your workout. Best save those high-carb MRPs for post-workout nutrition IMHO. IP: Logged |
