I eat six meals a day: three normal meals, and three "snacks." I try to make sure I include protein in each meal. My first few meals are usually smaller (breakfast + snack 1 = around 600 calories), and I work my way up as the day goes (dinner + snack 3 = around 1400 calories). Breakfast is usually rolled oats (with brown…

MSG just changes the flavor of things. Usually when things say "No MSG," they are actually just saying that the product is free of glutamate (part of the MSG compound, along with sodium), which is a non-essential amino acid (ie: an amino acid that your body naturally produces, anyway).

@NicoDawg: That sounds a lot like my current program. My program also advises to avoid high-fructose corn syrup (see end of this message for an explanation).

My cholesterol numbers are very good, but I would like to maintain that into the future. It's hardly possible to cut out *all* saturated fats, but with planning it becomes easier to shift…

Hello all. I've just now joined this site. I'm very slim, as well (6'1", 126 lbs.). I'm committing myself to gain weight (I'm hoping to reach 140, the bottom of the "healthy" BMI bracket), but I'm trying to gain lean weight, specifically. I'm shooting for a pound of weight gained per week, but I may adjust if I find it is…
