Talked to some body building guy in the gym yesterday and he told me 1800 cal is maint. and I wont put on an oz of muscle. Would I be better off bulking for a while and then cutting? He claims I should eat around 3200 cal to bulk..

Here is a Yellow Rice recipe that I have been using for years. It makes the most flavorful yellow rice ever and is not that hard to do. Pick yourself up a bag of Vigo yellow rice (family size) and 1 large onion, 1 large green pepper, 1 red pepper, 2 medium sized garlic cloves, olive oil and...

Its 22g, check out my diet on page 1. I need about 4-500 cal to get in the 2200 range. Im having a hell of a time trying to figure out how im going to add calories without adding too much fat or losing too much protein. HIIT=hi intensity? Maybe my fatigue was from staying up all night saturday...

With my current protein intake im at around 198g/day. If I added another shake i'd be over 200, isn't that bad for a 181lb person? I have been weighing myself in the mornings after i go #2 :P. I started 3 weeks ago at around 187.5 and now I am down to 181.5 (give or take a pound). I like the...

What would be an easy way to add about 4-500 calories to my diet? Maybe eat something more with my lunch? or? any ideas on what type of food? Brown rice maybe ? My friend tells me I probably burn somewhere around 3-400 calories at the gym in a workout. Thank You, Chris

no big deal, i love to cook..I'm italian, so you can imagine everything i cook involves some unhealthy pasta lol

actually im more around like 1650. It did take me about 2 weeks in the gym to build up enough endurance for a decent workout... I believe im about 19-20% body fat, it is clearly in my stomach/love handles. Maybe I shouldnt even be worrying about it at this point and trying to build bulk muscle...

Blackening mahi mahi is a real good way to eat that fish, without the butter of course
