I have no idea...I don't even know what that means.

It takes me about 15 minutes to get back from the gym to my blender where I usually blend up Gatorade, a banana and whey for my PWO shake. I was thinking that instead I could just use a shaker and mix the Gatorade and whey right at the gym, and then just eat the banana whole. Would this be...

They're a very sugary fruit

Dates have a GI of like 100...wouldn't they be a good post-workout food? Just wondering cuz I haven't heard them mentioned.....

Considering I eat 7 times a day, "dinner" doesn't necessarily have to be a big meal. I taper my meals through the day, and what I call "dinner" just happens to be the meal that comes aorund 7 oclock. I eat again at 9 and 11.

Grilled tilapia (it's a fish), 1/2 cup pinto beans, a cup of broccoli and a teaspoon of olive oil

What's a good, solid rate to gain quality mass? Is one pound a week too fast, or is that pretty standard? (I'm looking to gain mostly muscle, obviously, not fat)

Right now I have whey blended with gatorade and a banana as my PWO shake. Should I forget the banana and just add more gatorade? (Also, does it make a difference if I eat the banana separately...does that slow the absorbtion and make it less effective?)

So I've always thought that carbs before working out was ideal, but I've recently been reading that a bunch of carbs (even if low-GI like oatmeal) can cause a mood crash and make u feel lethargic. Does everyone here eat carbs before working out?

Seems a little (a lot) low on carbs

I'm 5'9, 130 lbs...trying to put on some mass. Here's my diet right now: 9:30am (breakfast/pre-workout) -3/4 cup oatmeal -half scoop whey -half cup yogurt -egg white omelet -425 calories, 31g protein, 56g carbs 12:15 (post workout) -1.5 scoops whey -gatorade -banana -350 calories, 30g...

I eat breakfast at about 9:30am, then workout at about 11. Is it a good idea to throw some flaxseed into my oatmeal at breakfast, or should I avoid fats pre-workout? I was thinking of something like this: -3/4 cup oatmeal -one scoop whey -nonfat yogurt -1 tsp flaxseed oil -415 calories, 32g...

Designer Whey chocolate is good.

Just curious...what % would you start at and what % do you stop at.....

I'm 5'9, 130 lbs. trying to slowly gain some mass without unnecessary fat (i don't mind some fat, I know it's inevitable, just not more than i need to make gains.) I've read that around 16 calories per pound is what someone needs to gain mass, so that puts me at about 2100 calories a day...
