  1. the title says the question but i'll detail it more. basically, gaining muscle means carbs and proteins, and lots of calories obviously. if i want to maintain a healthyish lifestyle (by which i mean ensuring i get the vitamins and minerals i need) as a staple what would be the main foods i need to eat? I have a fairly good understanding of nutrition and my dietary needs, my diet is pretty good atm being 3000-3400 cal a day, roughly 150g protein, 500g carb, 80g fat. if someone could point me in the right direction that would be swell. cheers
  2. I've been trying to research this topic without coming across anything really, I'm just wondering if having a protein shake before bed to load the muscle up with amino acids, so then when I wake up and work out on an empty stomach and have good protein synthesis because of the load up from the night before, thus helping with muscle repair, followed by a high carb breakfast. Thoughts?
  3. G'day and good afternoon I've been vegan for just over 3 months now, I have been doing intermittent fasting 16/8 for about 2 of those months. I'm not doing the fast to loose weight but for hormonal affects (though I'm unsure I actually see any difference) Firstly, what are people thoughts on fasting over non fasting? And it's benefits etc. Secondly, I want to go as wholefood as I can, I feel as if powders aren't the answer to everything, I currently take BCAAs (during fast and workouts) pea protein and creatine before workout (if it's not during my fast) And obviously multivitamin. I mainly want to cut out the protein powder which would require a pre or post meal with extra protein, I was thinking scrambled tofu or something? Though tofu is quiet processed and I'm not really a fan of it. My last question is, what is everyones take on joint supplement, as years of weight training, HIIT, and every other exercise puts strains on joints and ligaments, anyone have advice on this topic? I feel as though, supplements have to be intergratted into diet plan, though I know they don't. Cheers.
