    The egg yolk thing, he addresses in his latest food video. He says how egg yolks are good, nutritionally, but high in fat. Fat isn't bad in and of itself, however, when you're making a 6 egg meal, using just the whites is only sensible, as a whole, large egg is nearly 100 calories, while the white has about 20 calories. If you're eating one egg, go ahead and eat the whole thing. If you want to eat a 4 egg omelette, or a pan of scrambled eggs, eat primarily the whites.
    Well it would also depend on your total calorie intake. If you have a 2600 calorie limit per day, a 6 egg omelette with whole eggs is good to help fill that up.

    Out of respect for me, don't quote me. If you want to suggest bodybuilders.com to your friend, then please do so. Don't discredit me. I will always suggest Scooby to anyone that's looking for bodybuilding help.

    scooby juices(takes steroids) you should recommend them too.
    Most competitive ones do. As a natural, I've had to struggle to put on mass and it takes more paying attention to detail and consistency.
    I've seen guys who juice not step foot in the gym for a few months and in 12 weeks be ready for contest. Part of it is genetics, but drugs do help to get them contest ready.

    Can you prove that Scooby is taking steroids and can you prove that the bodybuilders on bodybuilders.com aren't taking steriods? Don't say things that you don't know. If you don't agree with Scooby that's fine. I will not agree with someone because they have muscles. Everyone can only speak for their body.

    People want me to agree with the people on here and if I don't, then something is wrong with me. I don't agree with them and I have a right not to agree with them.

    Again, I'm not into bodybuilding, the OP was looking for suggestions and I've suggested Scooby's site. I'm done.

    Already stated that competitive bodybuilders are on drugs. And saying you agree with Scooby, yet not follow his advice is being hypocritical. Doesn't make sense to advocate for someone who's advice you don't even follow yourself.

    any kind of calorie increase should be done slowly and surely. like increasing 500 calories every two weeks or something. keep your protein high, like, 1.5g per pound of body weight. your stomache will take time to adapt to the increas of calories.

    you can build muscle on a deficit, but not much, and only if your protein is high. in the beginning, you'll definetly see some noob gains in muscle definition.

    i wouldn't always listen to the guys in the weight room. so many people out there are very misguided in their views on nutrition. you, as a beginner, shouldn't be blasting your chest on mondays, legs tuesdays, etc. you'll get great benefits from doing full body circuits.

    write everything down. use an app like evernote to keep track of how much you are lifting, what exercises you like best, and how you feel and where you can improve. don't increase weight more then 10% a week, to avoid injuries.

    these articles helped me when i started working out at a gym

    Totally agree here. Don't increase your calories too fast.
    I started a gym membership Monday and I was told my the guy there I needed to up my calories from 1700 to 2500 and later I could go to 3500?????? So I upper my calories to 2300 and I've gained 5 pounds since Monday and its cant be muscle that fast. I was doing 1200 for 6 months dropped from 275 to 185 pounds since May/June. I want to build muscle mass, not much a little but not sure how to eat(calories/protien/carbs/etc) Any help would be great Thanks
    It's water weight that you gained in that short time. Keep your protein high, since only protein builds muscle an supply a good amount of carbs and fat. A 40 protein, 30 carb, 30 fat split seems to work well with lots of people that I've done it with. Without knowing what you actually do for exercise, I can only guess that 2500 calories might be okay.

    this is good advice.
