K, I appreciate everyone's advice. I've upped my protein and fats and lowered my carbs...Now I'm roughly at 45/35/20 (C/P/F). I'll test this a week or so and see how it works. I was sick of eating so many carbs and craving more meat anyways so I'm glad. Does this ratio seem alright to everyone?

JDid, that makes the most sense. Thanks for your input.

Ok, so most people agree that constantly changing workout routines is important for continued progress. My question is how often do you do this? Do you changed after a fixed number of weeks, or till your muscles stop getting sore or what? In the past, I'd keep the same routine for 4-6 weeks...

Rogue, thanks for the reply. After doing some searching around the site I see a popular C/P/F Bulk Ratio is 40/40/20 so I've adjusted accordingly to experiment with this ratio on myself. Thanks for your advice.

I'm no professional but I'd highly advise you let this fully heal. The same thing happened to me about 5 years ago. I would lay off a week or so then go right back into the gym and reinjure it all over again each time it would get worse. I did this several times till I eventually ended up...

I'm on a maintenance/slight bulk diet. I'm 25 yrs old 165 lbs...My daily calorie intake is 3082...483 g Carbs, 251 g Protein, 38.5 g Fat...That's 59%/30%/11%. Is this a good split? Am I getting enough fats? How's the Protein-Carb Ratio? Also, I notice I'm getting 58.5 g of fiber. Is this too...

Thanks, bigtravis. I've never considered goats milk but I'll certainly give it a try. Thanks for your input.

Thanks, sonicwaste, I'll check em out.

Oh yea, I forgot to mention I'm in a maintenance stage right now, but you pretty much answered my question...Thanks!

I like to have oatmeal first thing in the morning along with a protein shake. I was wondering if you guys think it would be okay to add very small amounts of dextrose to the oats to serve as a sweetener. I use dextrose after workouts (along with maltodextrin and protein) for quick replenishment...

Thanks BuffGuy that sounds pretty good actually. I'm gonna buy some casein and give it a try.

Hi, I'm new here. I'm wanting to start eating some casein protein before bed each night but the mere thought of cottage cheese makes me want to vomit. So, my question is does the casein protein in supplement form release protein as slowly as it would if I got it from a natural source? I assume...
