Thats one cute doggeh! Great going getting him back! Bet he was glad to see you again

Don't know if I can be much help here as I haven't tried many protein supplement (or supplements of any kind really), though there are a few I want to have a bash at in the future. (Sunwarrior especially is catching my eye). Personally I've never understood what seperates a 'supplement' from any other substance we consume and consider a part of our diet. Some people say that at the end of the day supplements are just food and I have to agree really...If we eat and absorb it what's the difference? I do use Wheatgrass and Spirulina in powdered form and imo are AWESOME and well worth a go. Ann Wigmore's findings on wheatgrass well worth a look at.

Hey Melissa, thanks for taking the time to write that reply. What you're saying makes a lot of sense! Think I'm going to have to do a bit of experimentation in the future and see how I react personally but all in all think I'm going to go along with the high calorie stance for now and see how it goes. Besides I like eating lots and want to make the most of my high teenage metabolism haha! Om nom noms

This hooping looks Amazing. Gotta get me one of those! Way to go thendanisays!

Thanks for the replies people, ...very interesting. IYM; After watching that video of the Running Raw guy you posted I'm starting to think it doesn't matter that much anyway.

Awesome video IYM!!!

Is it just me or do we not need to eat as much to gain muscle? Say I wanted to gain 10 pounds of muscle in 6 months. Lets assume I did sufficient high intensity exercise to stimulate muscle growth. 1 pound of muscle = 600 calories 10 x 600 = 6000 calories 6000 divided by 183 = 32.8 calories So on top of the daily requirement calorie intake (worked out mine here) which for me is 2730.2, I would only need to consume an additional 32.8 calories a day to provide for the 10lbs of muscle growth. Since muscle is water and protein and water yields zero calories, a pound of muscle contains around 150 grams of protein (one gram of protein yields 4 calories. 600 / 4 = 150) So, 6000 divided by 4 = 1500. 183 days divided by 1500 = 0.122. So to gain 10lbs of muscle in a period of 6 months all I'd need to consume is 2762.8 calories a day with 0.122 grams of that being additional protein to the usual requirement. Is my maths wrong? Or do we not need to eat as much as 3500 - 4000 calories a day? Ok so the human body is not 100% efficient and may need an extra 20 or 30 extra calories in order to yield 32.8 calories worth of actual muscle tissue but still!!!! Thoughts?!?!

That documentary is insane. I feel for Valentino I really do.. This community is of so much more importance than I first realised.

Don't know why anyone would do steroids when you can up your testosterone level the natural way by exercising and eating certain foods. Was googling people who have abused the roids and this came up... http://www.bofunk.com/media/images/muscle.jpg http://www.islandmuscle.com/images/huge_muscles.jpg http://i226.photobucket.com/albums/dd68/veritas227/jesus20nigger.jpg Is this a joke? These are photoshopped right???

Absolute legend. I have a poster of him in my room. "I have decided to stick with love. Hate is too great a burden to bear." "Nonviolence is a powerful and just weapon. which cuts without wounding and ennobles the man who wields it. It is a sword that heals." "Nonviolence means avoiding not only external physical violence but also internal violence of spirit. You not only refuse to shoot a man, but you refuse to hate him." "We must learn to live together as brothers or perish together as fools." Martin Luther King, Jr.

Wow I got to get me one of those! http://www.lighterside.com/images/en_US/local/products/altview/p72359b.jpg

I haven't seen Office Space but it looks great! IYM I haven't actually seen the movie, decided not to from the poor reviews. I read the book a long time ago and doubt that a movie could live up to it. Watched 'The Island' (2005) yesterday which was pretty good!

Thats a point in developed countries yes but how are the people of the third world countries where this campaign is targeted going to learn about Coke?

I've enjoyed reading this yarn for a while now and thought it was time to contribute with the obliglatory YEAH BUDDY!

Might I remind some members that there is no 'one size fits all' nutrition programme. Even if there was then there would be no way of ever proving it! What works for one person might not work for someone else. Some of us could be less eager to make generalisations! Do what feels best for You!
