Yeah, I can’t help myself
Good God. I read the conversation. Read my last paragraph. Not everyone needs an assload of calories. I’m not sure why that’s a concept you can’t seem to wrap your head around.
You read, but you didn’t understand. I was referring to a person who NEEDED AN ASSLOAD OF CALORIES. :woot:

“why is it I’m drinking like 150-200 gram protein shakes(4-5 a week) and eating 4-5 meals a day and i’m still 6 0’ 145?? anything I can do just to gain like 10 pounds, lift some dumb bells frequently, 0 cardio.”
You should just buy a box of packaged Myoplex protien shakes, dont have to worry about “how many scoops”
And a protien shake is a meal replacement, you dont have a shake and then eat a chicken dinner right after.
Eating 5-6 meals a day is easy, dont look at the word “meal” and think its a huge amount of food.
For example,
7:am Breakfast - 3 egg whites and one serving of Cream of Wheat.
10:am snack - protein bar or shake
1:pm lunch - can of tuna with salad
4:pm snack- piece of fruit
7:pm dinner- grilled chicken with veggies
10:pm snack- protien bar or shake
I’m 6’0 and ~197lbs. I am far from ripped or anything, not obese either, but till, trying to cut fat and maybe drop to 180 or so (which I feel may be better for me).
I lift 3 days a week, doing the chest/triceps–back/biceps–legs routine, withshoulder thrown in here and there, and have been starting my regimen with a mile run to the gym, weight lift session, 20 min cardio, mile run to my car. I drink a protein shake with about 46g of protein only after I lift, otherwise I eat about 2 meals a day.
My problem is I still can’t seem to “trim down.” I don’t know if my metabolism is hella slow (I’m 28) or what, but this is one of those things that has been bothering me for quite some time now.
I’ve studied a little of the whole nutritional aspect to good health and what have you (as part of my training), but I damned well can’t seem to apply it to myself when it comes to trimming down.
Suggestions?
To be honest 2 meals a day is no good, you should be eating more, like 5-6.
You are slowing your own metabolism by only eating twice, your body is saying " im only getting food 2 times a day so i gotta slow down and hold onto it" the more often you eat the faster your metabolism will become.
Drink lots of water.
I wish I could eat like that and gain weight
Bumped my meal intake from every 3 hrs to every 2 hrs… Its very hard to maintain…
already seeing weight gains though… the question is will I see a faster strength gain…
This thread’s going bananas, but I will say is Netology isn’t speaking garbage. Real food is the best stuff for your body. 5-6 meals isn’t impossible if you plan properly and aren’t trying to make meals on the spur of the moment. Take left over dinners and make them lunch for the next day; that’s what Lou Schuler does.
Supplements are suppose to support your diet, not become it. There’s no need to be taking a crap load of stuff unless you are trying to become Mr. Olympia.
Just shut your fucking mouth you faggot. Please post some pics of yourself. And you’d better be fucking ripped to shit, to be talking all high and mighty like you are. If you are in incredible shape, then I’ll stop bashing your fucking gay ass you faggot.
if you get angrier and say more stupid shit, maybe I will…
I’m just not comfortable with the idea of you bashing ur dick to my pics
Lovely. I knew you were going to say the 'ol “But I was talking about our resident hardgainer here” yet I’m pretty sure you were making a generalized statement about what everyone should be doing. But then again, my reading comprehension isn’t doing so hot.
I don’t think anyone said anything about supplements taking the place out of ALL your meals. It’s just unrealistic to expect a person to eat 6-7 meals without supplements.
And according to Netology, you take protein shakes with meals and 4-5 meals a day doesn’t do shit.
Wow man, I’ve never heard that before. Are you comedian?
And be sure to put pics of your legs and calves, as I’m sure they’re outstanding. Ya know, since you eat 7 meals a day.
I said specially for a hardgainer, but also true for everyone else
just caught up on last few pages
yeah I dunno if it’s considered a protein or ‘meal replacement’ shake, I work at a smoothie shop and we make some protein smoothies(shits like 5-6 bucks for a 20oz but I get a free one daily), I usually just put a bananna + like 7-8 scoops(1/8 a cup, the one you use for coffee) of natural vanilla weight gein(says “whey protein” on it so I dunno if that’s good shit or what) + tea spoon of green tea + scoop of yogurt ice cream plus some ice taste pretty good
I usually get up like at 10am, eat cereal(honey bunches blue box:wgrin:), go to work, eat a 6 inch sub @ like 1-2(don’t really have time to eat at work cuz i’m working duh) make my smoothie and bounce and drink it on the way home/at home. It usually fills me up really a 20oz gets me full:rofl: so I drink a glass or two of water soon after, then I eat again @ like 5-6pm could be a sandwich and chips or some soup and french bread or w/e is for dinner, then I eat again at like 10-11ish like some rice and meat off the foreman:wgrin:.
I also noticed my weight was like fluctuating a week ago, I finished a footlong(yeah an entire footlong in one sitting:woot:) and I got it up to 149 I was happy cuz I thought I would break into the 150’s in day or two FINALLY, then I took a shit went to sleep woke up and was down to 144 so I was HELLA pissed :mad::mad::mad::mad:.
yea, when i wake up im usually about 3-4 lbs lighter than the day before. amazing how much weight you lose in your sleep even if you dont piss or shit in between weigh ins
Just placed a pretty big order at BB.com
Got…
Green MAGnitude
Purple Wraath
White Flood
Animal Test
Animal Pak
10 lbs ON Whey
SuperPump250
SizeOn
and got two free shirts w00t!
i’m taking purple wraath, white flood, animal pak, ON whey (extreme milk chocolate), but universals storm not green mag. pretty good stack. just make sure you prepare the purple wraath 10-15 minutes before you take it because it takes time to dissolve.
or you could have just bought some gear that does work instead of wasting money on gimmicks
oh well, least you got some protein
i think you are confused about what “meals” usually means in bodybuilding…usually it is used as a “when you eat” denoter…or a ‘how many times a day do you eat’ thing…
meal 1 - breakfast = 500 cal
meal 2 protein shake = 240 cal
meal 3 lunch = 700 cal
meal 4 snack = 300 cal
meal 5 dinner = 700 cal
meal 6 protein shake = 240 cal
thats like 2600 calories…you get most nutrion which would be enough from the 4 meals that use natural food…and the other 2 “meals” are protein shakes…

2600 calories if you’re dieting, or you’re 4 feet tall ---- I’m talking about bulking meals.
protein shakes don’t cut it as meals when you are trying to put on muscle.
you can drink them inbetween meals or during meals or whenever…point is, they are too low in calories to replace a full meal out of your 6-7 without making another meal overcompensate and become too large.
