DIETING 102

i dont know either bud... also u gotta realize that these guys have nutritionist and trainers doing their cycles and diets and all the rest which muscletech pays big money towards to get these guys like that so i dont really think that when they divulge their diets its the whole truth,i mean if u were paying george farrah a $1500 for 3 months would u tell every one your diet for free and all the principles?

yes that is true big bucks are involved with these guys.they will never give you all the info.just a example look in the magazines all the diets that are published by different guys are mostly the same.i highly doubt that. everyone is different what works for 1 does not always work for another.thanks though for the explanation.

To bulk up one ads 10 to 20 persent to your daily kcal intake. Does the same rule apply when on a bulking cycle using gear?

Yes

Thank you.

Hi Dj reading up on this and was wondering if you would help. I will be changing to training in the morning soon. Can I have my normal breakfast 1 hour before I train at around 7:30am will be at the gym by around 8:45am. My breakfast is 8 egg whites 2 yolks 60g oats this is on a low carb day on high carb day it's 100g oats. then after train have post workout drink as normal "whey and waxy maize." Then 1 to 1 & half hour later have my meal two and carry on with all other meals as I would normally throughout the day?

Hey DJ, I see a lot of people on here are using working with you on their nutrition. How can I get hold of you, I'd like some assistance with my eating plan.

Hey bud just email admin in the contact us tab on the top of the screen, ask him for DJ's email address.

Quick question.... For eg. if you needed to eat 30g of a solid protein an 30g almond nuts to keep your metabolism burning at each meal every 2 hours would it be okay or have the same effect as drinking 10g protein shake an eat 10g almond nuts every 40 min? That way your metabolism will keep working to digest the shake and the nuts all day long.. I'm just asking in a theoretical point of view because I would imagine it would be way to much work to eat this way.

Howzit all

Simple question....

How much protein and carbs should be eaten a day for bulking.

I use a formula I found years ago which seem to work well for me..

Weight in kg's multiplied by 2.2 to get weight in pounds.

Weight in pounds multiplied by 1.5 to get total daily protein intake divided into 6 meals per day.

Weight in pounds multiplied by 2.5 to get total daily carb intake divided into 6 meals per day.

Is this correct or is there a more accurate method?
