becbec's road to recovery

[becbec]

fair nuff. i would say a bit more protein would in your diet would help, dont know how it works in with your joint stuff but meat with every meal is great for bumping up your protein. and of course that will help with muscle recovery

yeah i was thinking about that

could i substitute red meat for a protein shake? or is too many protein shakes bad? i still eat chicken and fish

[jesses]

yeah its just a more concentrated hit of protein. you just dont get all the minerals and vitamins that you get from real food. i try to eat as much meat as i can and only use protein shake as a supplement to my diet. morning and postworkout are the ones i always have

[becbec]

yeah i always have a morning one, but only a half serve

same with post work out but i have it with water and a tea spoon of dextrose

[jesses]

yep sounds good, maybe take the morning one up to a full shake, you need the protein first thing. carbs with it as well would be good. I take a double poatworkout as I'm lifting hardout, single would probly be enough for you

[biggurl27]

quiche cause it tastes like arse :shock:

:disgusted: :disgusted: eating arse again becbec!!

Well done on the PBs!! :clap:

BTW I have double serve shakes, always :shock: Maybe this is why I have put on 6kg........... I'm so used to them now I don't like the taste of single serves.

[becbec]

once i start losing fat and gaining muscle i'll probably start having full serves, the pp i'm using at the moment has lots of sugar and a tad too many carbs, waiting for my new one to arrive!! mmm dutch chocolate fudge flavour =P~

[jesses]

tvs during cardio? wish dumbbells had tvs in them.

putting on weight from a protein shake? thats lyk 30g of powder at the max how does that work?

sugers and carbs in it are fine in the morning and post workout. morning coz you havnt eaten for hours and your body really needs something to work with and post workout coz again you dont have much to run on and your muscles need it

lol you think you got it bad, i put on over a kilo every day

[runveerun]

lol you think you got it bad, i put on over a kilo every day

A kilo a day? :shock:

So by the end of the year you will have put on 365 kg!

6 kg in 3 months doesn't sound so much after that!! :pfft:

[becbec]

i dunno why it happens but it does :cry:

you have to start having full serves to aid muscle growth and recovery, there has to be adequate protein in your system to grow.

this will b why ure not loosing fat as fast as youd like because your currently starving your body of what it needs.
