That's the great thing about the internet - all you need is to decide to do it, and you can do workouts from home. I use bodyrock.tv (and Shapefit of course!) for new ideas, and it's all completely free. All the best with your goals for the new year :)

Hi!
If I ate over 2,000 calories a day, I had the weight of 200 lbs. I am not sure those are appropriate meal plans here for someone who probably wants to stay in the 1,500-2,000 calorie range.....and i think in order for muscles to repair, you need to eat protein within 30 to 45 min. of your workout.....For weight loss, I would definitely not recommend eating carbs every 2 hours.... Each meal should have a lean source of protein + veggies ... Complex carbs are best first thing in the morning and right after exercise.....

dont worry Rupert, if you read the posts properly you will see that you have repeated what was said a few posts before, an the diet was for bodybuilding in general and not for slimming, a mistake on my part, however the carbs after the gym applies to all, as a refuel only not as a repair..

Protein should be available at all times. Your muscles don't rebuild in the 3 hours post workout, rather they rebuild over the next few days.


That's crazy, with all due respect. Please provide me with a single source of protein that doesn't contain amino acids?

Secondly, post workout is a crucial time to take in protein.
Allow me to quote a Dr.:
"Protein is the “building block” for muscle (and amino acids are the building blocks of proteins), and during a workout, it breaks down, a process known as protein degradation. After the workout, in the repair process, it’s built up again, a process known as protein synthesis. This ongoing cycle of building-up/breaking-down, which goes on constantly, is known as protein turnover. The body can’t synthesize protein from nothing; it needs nutrients to do so. Thus, after a training session, you need to make sure that the body has the fuel it requires to do its job."

I DO agree with the last part of your statement however, that protein should be available at all times and that muscle reparation occurs within the following 48 hours. BUT it begins the moment you put your weights down.

When he refers to the moderator of THIS site proposing these things, it makes me wonder whom he means.Personally I can't see boss man doling out this misinformation.

Protein is 1 to 1.8 g per kg of body weight.Otherwise you are merely piddling it out & making your kidneys work harder.So 281 g would put you at 156 kg or 343 lbs ?..also we have discovered that IF you are over your caloric intake for the day, that excess protein WILL store as fat.

Nobody is saying anything. What Brenty in my opinion is talking about, is using a BCAA supp instead of Potein poiwder. Perhaps reading about the digestibility and merit of a powder with full Amino Acid content in, as opposed to the main 3 BCAA's in some kind of Capsule / Caplet form.

Some don't like protein pwoders becasue of taste, but some prefer them as they represent a fuller Amino Acid content that may have added benefits. Certainly he Glutamine would synthesise the Aminos and the Arginine could hep to dilate blood vessels, potentially increasing Oxygen flow back to muscles, helping to ease Lactic acid, by providing more Oxygen to use the the Glycogen converted to Pyruvate and providing more Oxygen for creation of ATP again.

Also I can't see any refgerances by Brenty or anyone else to reading something a Moderator is supposed to have said. Brenty said he read what he read about protein powders, but didn't say he read it on this site.

If you're referring to this Bonnie, then he's taling about another what appears to be unnamed site, as I don't know the poster and have never been involved with supplement manufacture.
