2piecewheat toast with pb
1glass milk with 1/2 cup oats

POW-shake

2chicken with salad or chicken with rice and potatoes

18lbs in 2 months = 14lbs of fat.

Most likely correct, I'm sure all the beer could account for that.

I've been training since I was about 15 on and off, not consistently. I've been seriously training again for about 5-6 months. Although I just started getting the diet down. And no, I haven't been doing any cardio; not sure when to incorporate it and what exactly to do. I work about 40 hours a week in a kitchen which is usually non-stop running around so I considered that my cardio. The things between are usually low fat snacks like oat snacks with peanut or almond, strawberries, raspberries, etc.

I'm only taking Smart Gainer, bought it from a local supplement warehouse.

Big Mike: I'm not sure what waxy maize is or cassein. And I thought salad=good? And why lose the fat-free milk?



My target weight is anywhere around 180, but of lean muscle.

Much appreciated.

Salad is good...some guys think your a girl if you eat it...I always use a darker green lettuce, romaine,red-leaf,or even spinach leaves, iceburg=water.

Yea well when I eat salad it's usually romaine with spinach and balsamic viniger.

Joking about the salad. Waxy Maize is a high molecular weight carbohydrate (starch) that is great for post workout with whey protein. Cassein is a slow digesting protein that is good for late at night as it'll last longer that a faster digesting protein. Alot of people just add natty pb to their whey as that'll slow down the absorption rate too.

Yea, I just read about waxy maize and cassein, actually. I'm still learning, just started taking this serious about eating and what to put inside to gain weight. I'd eat cow shit if there was proof it'd make my muscles bigger.

[NYC BIG MIKE]

Diet is everything in bodybuilding. Lots of people train their asses off and don't look like they could. Once you get your diet in check, it makes a world of difference. Keep reading and learning and asking questions, you can never know enough about proper dieting. Good luck.

Recent studies show cow shit can cause significant growth in lean muscle mass.. Try It...!

I would suggest if you are trying to put on muscle get your nine site skinfold tested to see what your lean body mass is and go from there. Use the specific calculations for fat's,protein, carbs, and cals. Doing this will make the gains much easier and you will not put on as much fat. Make every thing as simple as possible if you ask me.

Yea, I need to make it to a doctor; but I'm in between moving and I just got a new job so my cash flow is a little...weak. But once I get on my feet I'm planning on doing that. As for fat gains, I'm pretty lean and the weight I've gained I know is not fat. I've just recently got up to around 163 and I think considering my time scale and my efforts it's not hard to believe. I'm 5'9 163. I eat nothing but chicken eggs and steak and vegetables.

haha "salad is for girls". hahaha love it.
