  • My go to is: -1 cup skim milk -1/4 cup liquid egg whites -1 scoop vanilla whey -1/4 cup plain 0% Greek yougurt 1 cup frozen fruit mixture (any kind works I use tropical) Has about 375kcal and about 50g of protein
  • I do about 5k a day 4-5times a week and have not had any problems since I started. I usually do my weights first, so the running does not effect my workouts.
  • Squats and deadlifts are the best exercises for a beginner. Beginners (and in my opinion everyone) should only focus on compound lifts. Fire the trainer. Just make sure your form is proper and the weights are not increased to much until form is spot on.
  • I can only see it as a bad thing if you are on a limit calorie diet and it prevents you from having enough calories to get adequate protein/healthy fats in

  • you can eat out, just make wise choices. Get chicken/fish, etc. with a side salad or something

  • Agreed. Your training can only break down muscle, it does not build muscle at all. The repair of muscle is what builds muscle, and that is dependent on what you do in the kitchen. Protein synthesis requires, surprise surprise, protein.
  • Eat whatever you want so long as you make your macronutrient profile and are eating enough "good" food to get your proper micronutrients I'd like to state that there is no such thing as "good/clean" or "bad/dirty" foods. You can gain weight eating to much of anything, eat too many fruits you will gain weight. Eat to many…
