Staggering Calories?
Hey there, guys! I've been here for about three weeks now, and things are going pretty well so far. At first I was trying out 1,200 calories per day, but I felt pretty hungry.

Advice/opinions on protein shakes please
2 years ago when I was due to get married, I was hitting the gym 4-5 times a week and 'thought' that protein shakes would help me.
