Try Eggbeaters. No cholesterol or fat.

Jarrow Micellsize Casein. I take it before bed for a slow absorbing protein source while sleeping. I've read that if taken before bed it can provide for muscles up to 7 hours or longer. Good Stuff!

I like ON 100% Natural whey. I first bought a 5lb'er from GNC (it was on sale) in chocolate (the best tasting), then a 2lb container in vanilla (not the greatest taste, but didn't have to force myself to drink either), and lastly I recently got the strawberry flavor (by far the worst of the...

Here's mine so far: 12oz eggbeaters w/ pepper (delicious), 1 cup oatmeal, whey shake 2 potatoes, baby carrots, large helping green beans, apple 3/4 cup oatmeal w/ vanilla whey mixed in (pretty nasty, only ate half) brown rice, tomato, flour tortilla, o.j. 18 chocolate chip cookies (yeah...

I looked on the True Protein website and am interested in their whey powders. They have so many varieties (ie. cold-filtration, ion exchange, concentrate), what is best, regardless of cost? Thanks btw - My personal opinion of best supplement companies would be 1) Optimum Nutrition (100% Whey)...

I found a website that has calorie content for hundreds of foods but the thing is it can vary so much. Like say I eat a baked potato, the sizes are never the same; sometimes they are large, others are small. And when I have a bowl of cereal I don't first pour it into a measuring cup to determine...

I don't drink milk at all. I'm not lactose intolerant but choose not to. I am allergic to all nuts so I can't do that. As with milk, I don't eat ice cream either. I drink my whey with rice dream only. It's like chocolate milk to me, I love it. I take it before and after working out and often at...

I am taking a whey powder though it's low carbs. Maybe I need a gainer powder. I'm certain I don't take in enough protein too. Some days I've had 3 shakes to make up for the meals I ate no protein at all. I do know it's ideal to get the majority from whole food and not powders. The guy works...

Well it's been a while since I've posted. I've been doing the 3x5 for almost a month now. I'm still at my same weight of 180 lbs @ 6'2". I work out three times a week, Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, and rest the remaining days. I haven't done any cardio during this time due to my desire to get...

Very encouraging indeed. I'm just starting my second week of the 3x5 and I'm loving it. Keep up the great work!

Well I started the 3x5 on Saturday. I hope I am doing it right. Here it is: Squat 60x3x5 Bench 105x3x5 Deadlift (stiff legged) 80x1x5 For warm-ups I did biceps curls 10x2x10 and 15 push-ups. I know this is not the correct warm-ups. I tried to download Microsoft Excel and the 'program' on...

"This is not a beginner program. You will make faster progress with less workload on a true beginner program. I really recommend Rippetoe's Starting Strength for beginners or novices. It's so critical to learn the lifts correctly and get started on a good program (i.e. not what one typically...

1 hour ago (10:20am CT) Breakfast- 12 oz eggbeaters, oatmeal w/ bananas (I mash them up; it's great), fish oil

Hey. I've already started a thread on here titled "workout recovery". I got alot of great suggestions, and much of it I have followed. I'm eating way more protein than I had already and getting most of it from food, with some whey supplementation too. My eyes or brain could be decieving me but I...

Thanks for the suggestions. I will try the diet gettnlarge. Should I still have the whey before and after working out? I want to post pics but it didn't work the first time I tried. I'll search around the board for some help. Thanks, and later. Edit: I added a profile picture of myself. It's a...
