oh c'mon! So you have to lift annnd you have to worry about what you eat? Is this like a full time job?

Anyway, i usually don't eat breakfast or lunch, i may have a snack though, whatever is in the fridge. For dinner I usually have pretty healthy stuff such as grilled chicken with rice or fish with poatoes.

Are you crazy? Any monkey can lift weights.  It's the dedication to providing your body good nutrition that's the hard bit.  Getting a great bod is 80% eating the right food.

YOU MUST EAT BREAKFAST! You're just fasted for 8 hours my friend it's called sleeping.  Your body is in a catabolic state and is essentially eating itself because there is nothing in your stomach.

You've gotta eat at least 6 times during the day that means 3 meals and 3 high protein, low fat snacks to stop your body going into a catbolic state where it thinks you're starving and starts hoarding all the fat you've eaten i.e. depositing it to your spare tire around your waist.

You can drink protein shakes as 'snack' just put some oats in there and a slash of olive oil. I also put some nesquick for some more flavour.  You can use milk for these protein shakes. You can also eat some fruit, yogurt, oatcakes, beef jerky as a snack.  Just mix it up so you dont get bored.

You're muslim.

You don't eat a proper breakfast

Couldn't eat meat for breakfast even if i tried, i don't know how you bacon loving infidels do it Wholemeal bread, eggs, fruit and yoghurt is the best i can manage.

Egg McMuffin with or without Bacon depending on how I feel, that's some good shit. Otherwise I just have cereal for breakfast, fuck all that cooking shit and going out to get breakfast. Too early for that.

Shuddup fool

Eat some real Irish food, none of that English-Scottish Ulster Scots stuff

Oh I went there

swim

1. Stretch. Your muscles will be all managled from being torn, you need to realign the fibres so growth is correct.
2. Drink a protein shake.  Your body is now in a maximum state to take on protein. Its known as an anablolic window and it lasts for about 45 mins.  30grams of protein and 200-300ml of WATER.  Protein absorption will be faster with water and for god sake dont use milk as protein abosrption will be slower than a wounded slug.  It will taste like shit but you're not drinking the shake for taste remember?
3.  Eat.  Get a meal down you as soon as possible.  Usually stuff here protein carbs and fat.  Yes fat you need it for growth and hormonal release.  Nuts, olive oil etc that sort of stuff so no cheeky Big Macs on the way home and definatly no alcohol.

But what's your overall diet like? No point working out if your diet is shit.

Thanks for the answer.
Just a tlittle question: can I eat protein bars instead of protein shakes?
Oh, and my diet is Korean, which is quite healthy.

I wouldn't recommend it.  You can get so much more protein from the shakes, and the protein/calorie ratio is better as well.  Not to mention that shakes are sooo much cheaper than bars. 

Also, try not to use the bars as a meal-replacement.  I only eat them when I can't get in a good meal due to time constraints or odd circumstances, or as a snack in between meals.

Can't remember where i read it but the body can only absorb 30g or protein in one given sitting.  Anymore i guess it pissed out but don't quote me on that.

i heard that too, but later i heard it was bull. I think it's that your body will only process 30g of protein, but the rest kinda sits there to be processed later. or something.

if you wanna make cottage cheese not taste rank, they recommend something like mixing some sugar free syrup in it then letting it sit in the freezer for 30 minutes. comes out like frozen yogurt. add natural peanut butter if needed.

Thx m3thod.
The bar I take is Met-Rx, and it contains 19g of protein, 18 cal, 50 cal fat, and little fat.
I think this is pretty good.
Yeah, I don't use it as a meal replacement.

I think there's about 45G of protein in the shake I use.  It comes out to about $.75 a serving for 50g of protein.  For your bars, it's what....$1.50 for 19g?  Totally not smart cost effective, and the extra sugars and fats are baaadddd.

And the body can intake upwards of 60g at a time, depending on a few factors.  And no, the body cannot store amino acids as anything else for use at a later time, so if you intake too much it just passes through you.

Damn protein bars.
Oh, and the protein shakes can be purchased at walgreens or sports authority, right?

or GNC, or Vitamin Shoppe. My personal favorite is Optimum Nutrition (ON) 100% Gold Standard Whey... extreme milk chocolate flavor.

This site is actually probably THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST for people in the US:
