Thanks .. The omega 3 tablets will be a new experience for me .. As for the other bits .. I was already munching way in sweet potatoes and veg .. That's what saved me from gaining loads of belly fat as I made sure that was the main combo in my main meals .... Yep .. Ur right after training is the challenge .. My main…

My objective is essentially strength gains whilst gradually and carefully increasing my caloric intake focusing on smartly increasing my protein intake.

Hi all .. Thanks for the replies ... I've improved my fat intake but i'm doing it gradually ..

thanks @SideSteel .. appreciate the quick reply ..

@queenliz99 .. appreciate the quick reply .. thats what my plan essentially is .. just need to know how to handle it as this is the 1st time I've been ill since my exercise and nutrition regimes.

Hi all, Its been just over two weeks since I discovered my maintainance macros which are i.e. Protein => 132g, Carbs => 413g and Fats => 66g plus having gradually been eating around 2300 calories which isn't too far off from my close to my maintaiance calories i.e. 2415 I'm looking to increase my caloric intake by roughly…

I'll also have a good look at your diary .. thanks for the suggestions .. Now that you mention fish I had tilapia last night .. in fact as my diary shows for my dinner according to my…

@3laine75: Lol .. I do eat a lot of fruit and veg and I'm looking to using the balance of fruit and veg I enjoy as a basis/foundation for the addition of my bulking food options across the 5 meals I eat. Thanks for the suggestions particularly the olive oil, vinegar, chilli flakes, mustard seeds. Lol .. I'll look if Tesco…

Is this on ur training days or rest days?

@beastcompany: Based on my attachment in my earlier post and balancing my macros also as mentioned in my earlier post which foods do you recommend (sorry if I've asked before)?

Hi all, Just made my diary public. I've been logging my food so y'all could take a look.

And by the way as JoRocka stated in my thread and here I'm gradually getting over the idea of completely not gaining fat when bulking !!!

Hi all, Having entered in MFP as accurately as I could the above macros breakdown which is based on my changed eating plan which amounts to just above 2300 calories I wanted to get some opinions regarding the differences between my totals and daily goals especially which foods I could vary on my training and non training…

Hi all, Yes indeed I messed up there. For the fat aspect of my macros the following should be correct: 2. Fats: General guides: Average or low bodyfat: 1-2g fat/ kg body weight [between 0.4-1g total weight/ pounds] So for: 1-2g fat/ kg => My weight = 66kg meaning for 1g per KG is: 66 grams So FAT GOAL: Target should be an…

Hi all, Since starting this thread I've made changes to my eating based further research on my macros goals/daily protein, carbs and fat intake combined with advice from this thread plus further reading up on quality foods to help with bulking. In short my daily macros goals breakdown based on a body weight of 66KG and…

@Alicedark: I didnt have four but Thanks for the idea i.e. Avocado bacon cheeseburger. I'll give it a try this wknd. @jennloella: Yep. i will most defo eat more

Hi all, Yesterday I've started the All Pro programme without changing the workouts and the manner in which to perform them i.e. the incrementing of weights between the Before lifting I put in a brief but proper warm-up followed by a good set of stretches. I'll post a link with the details so as to get some feedback…

@auddil: Thanks. I'll look at properly adding oats into my meals.

Hi all, @JoRocka: I fully agree with your warm up post and regarding my pre lifting routine this is what I do: - Cardio warm up for 5 mins on the stairmaster - Then full body stretches for roughly 10 mins targeting hamstrings, groin, back, chest, quads, shoulder, triceps, and glutes. I perform watch for 2 sets for 30 secs.…

As I'll be using the All Pro program I'm making changes to my eating and as I mentioned I'll be posting my training days and non-training days eating. For my training days see the PDFI attached called FULL BODY WORKOUT STARTING NUITRITION which s based on 5 meals a day. In a further post I will indicate the scheduling of…

@MrM27 and @beastcompany: Thanks for the vote of confidence in terms of selecting the programme. I'll look to log my progress on BB.com or bodyspace but at the moment I use Gymhero http://gymhero.me/ which isn't bad too plus all my history is there. I'll log it here too and I'll post a link with my progress. --- To all, I…

I just realised I forgot to post the forum I highlighted in…
