  • Not if your body needs it for energy, repair etc If your still in your maintenance figure then you shouldn't put on weight & it doesn't really matter when you eat if your trying to hit those macros.

  • Thx Razzzzle, once mine start getting low I'll probably try some of those.
  • I brought some of these last week because my weekend macros have been poor. Im generally stuck out in the wood marshalling @ an airsoft site and the general food is junk food.

  • Hi Serenity216, Ive had a back problem and was living off pain killers. A couple of months ago something switched on inside me and I wanted to try and do something about it.

Just gaining muscle by eating more…
