that's all about getting your metabolism sparked up jevad. Most ppl eat 3 or less large meals a day. The problem with this is that your insulin levels go haywire when you take in a lot of carbs.

Somebody told me it was better to eat 4/5 small meals a day than the usual 3 suspects? What's that all about

Every 3 hours. Small healthy meals. Keeps the metabolism and energy level up.

haha. Try...
(Normal serving sizes)
6am
3 egg whites
2 slices wheat toast
small apple9am
protein shake12pm
chicken breast
1/2 cup wheat pasta
1 cup steamed veggie3pm
6oz Tuna
1/2 cup whole wheat rice7pm
Chicken breast
Medium sized salad
Dressing
1 cup steamed veggie9pm
Turkey sammich
Small AppleWhen doing the above you can substitute pretty much any protein with any protein. Like a lean steak instead of chicken. Or fish instead of Chicken. For the Pasta or wheat toast (any good carb above) you can also substitute in another good carb. Brown rice. Whatever.
In the morning if you don't want toast, do a half cup Oatmeal.
When I"m lazy I just toss a cup of oatmeal into the egg whites I'm cooking. I'm not picky.
That's a good start I guess.

kona any supplements, vitamins, drink meal replacement suggestions etc...... should we stay away from caffeine or energy drinks like red bull, red line, etc?I don't want to set it up unless people are interested but what about setting up a wiki??
it would be easy to set up several different programs instead of having to search through a blog for them...
blog could be a live stream with a wiki for the organized version?

um...6am? Are you fucking kidding me? I don;t get out of bed much before 8 son...

Liquid... I drink a Red Line only when I have to and never on a leg day. Last time I did that I thought I was going to pass out. Diet Turbo Tea is really good too. Gives me just enough kick to wake up but not too much that I feel jittery.
Supplements:
Protein shake. I take Pro-Complex. Really anything relatively high in protein (30-60), moderate carbs (30-50) and low in fat will do.
Glucosamine. 500mg morning and night. It helps my old joints.
A good multi-vitamin. I take Opti-Pro (I think that's what it's called) 2x a day. Morning and night. If you think about it when you work out you're burning vital nutrients and vitamins from your body. You need to replace them.
Also I take 400iu of Vitamin E every morning as well.
Also 1000mg of Vitamin C once a day in the morning.
Vitamin E and C will be included in most Multi-vitamin packs, but not at the level athletes or people who are training a few times a week need.
Also, when I diet I take Lipo-6. But only for 3 weeks on, 1 week off, then repeat.
I used to be huge into supplements. Andro, Test, any other bullshit sold on the shelves. There was a time when I tried almost every "get big quick" supplement sold. All crap.
There is no secret to putting on muscle or losing fat.
I used to train with Mr. Illinois a few years ago. Fantastic guy. After we got to know each other pretty well I asked him in private one day "So tell me, seriously... what's the secret... what did you do... what should I take?"
He stopped his treadmill, thought for a moment, leaned over to me and said "Ok, I've never told this to anybody before, so keep it a secret. The secret is Hard Work and Consistency." Then he put on his headphones and started the treadmill again. Fuck.
Sucked then cause I wanted the easy out. But there ain't one. Wish he'd told me that before I spent hundreds on crap that doesn't work.
Don't get suckered into that crap either.

(Jan 2 07, 13:33)Haha. No problem. Just start at 8am and go every three hours from then.
Roughly. It doesn't have to be exact.

"Sixteen - 73g sugar
77g carbs
Original - 105g sugar
111g carbs
Power - 155g sugar
164g carbs"That's one serving!?!?! Holy shit man. That's spiking your insulin level through the roof! Your body can't use all it so it stores what it can't use as fat. I'd say no but that's just me.

So what's your take on multi-vitamins, kOna?
I'm taking the Mega Men multivitamin from GNC. I did a little vitamin research beforehand and it seemed to be the best that I could find, no overload of anything that can cause problems down the road or anything.

Any recs for a work out newbie?
My muscle is lacking and I'm working on the beergut, but I'm on day 5 of going to the gym...nothing too strenuous yet, just getting back into the routine.
I take a One-A-Day in the morning...is that enough? Should I take 2 a day? Should I get something else?
Pretty much looking for the quickest way to lose some fat and gain some muscle.
Any advice?

Kona, when you get the egg whites, what do you do with the yoke? Just throw it away - that's kind of wasteful isn't it?
