If you are a skinny teenager just getting into bodybuilding, eat everything in sight! Dont worry about gaining fat, you need alot of food to grow muscles. If I win I would like some Biotest Grow!
Find out how well you respond to carbs. I can eat over 500 a day with out fat gain. Some need 200 or less even while bulking. Know how you respond to food.
Also EAT to GROW.
OH redkat if I win
I find it is best to keep track of ehat you eat in a food log so you can go over it later and figure out how to fine tune your diet to meet your goals.
I would love some Mag 10 pleese:)

No matter what, calories matter. If you’re eating too much, you’re not going to lean out, and if you’re not eating enough, you’re not gonna grow.
Tribex would be sweet.
Although not diet related, it’s cutting related- HIIT is SO much more effective for me than solid state cardio. Also, always pack more food than you think you’ll need for lunch/work/etc. That way, you can eat something real when you’re hungry, rather than getting fast food or candy.
when dieting always remember to eat the majority of your carbs during the post training window.
i would love to try some surge!
Dont tell your mom that you cant eat pasta for dinner… You will get ur ass beat, and you will still get pasta for dinner.
J/P, keep a record of your Bf% and ur LBM. It really keeps you motivated.
I would like some Hot rox
Don’t diet at all. Eat clean 24/7 and monitor your body weight. Calorie reduction forces a reduction in training volume which is counter-productive.
One of the most important things to cut out of your diet when cutting is alcohol due to it’s effect on fat digestion, utilization, protein synthesis and calorie intake. I’d like a bottle of Hot-Roxx.
Surge if I win.
Get your priorities straight. Get your diet completely in check first by logging everything, and THEN supplement with supplements (sounds like common sense, but apparently isn’t) to add the extra oomph to your diet. But first, get real food!!
Mag-10 please!
I find it very important to use some type of carbs with around 40 grams of protein post workout. I started this about a week ago and now finally my workouts seem to look a bit more fruitful.
I would like some Surge.
don’t forget to eat a variety of veggies…sometimes it’s easy to make the same damn salad all the time but switch it up…surge please
Identify your goals and then identify a place/spot that you are exposed to for most of the working day. For me, that’s my computer screen. After reading Berardi’s Massive Eating article, I realized I needed more calories. I printed out a piece of paper that said, in bold letters, “You should be eating now.” I taped it to my monitor. I gained almost 20 pounds–not all of it muscle, obviously, but those are the types of gains I hadn’t experienced in a long time.
Mag-10 if I win, though after winning once already, I don’t think I’m lucky enough to win twice. Prove me wrong, guys!
I’ve learned that it’s possible to eat fast food occasionaly and avoid getting fat if you’re smart about your choices
And if I win I’d like some surge
When in a pinch for low fat protein food remember to look for Jerky which is sold almost everywhere.
RED-KAT would be good to get me hooked on.
Remember in your post workout meal that you can only take in 50g of protein. Any more passes through and is a waste.
Tribex please.
this is for the college people:
for the budget saavy college students, i tend to plan out my school meals for the week on the weekend. i used to write out what i can possibly make for lunch and dinner since i live a ways from my school. obviously, you should be eating every few hours, so always keep in mind to have some healthy snacks in between your larger meals. obviously space is an issue, so if you are a commuter, and getting to your car isn’t too much of an issue, buy a large cooler lunchbag thing (they’re like 10$ at walmart) and pack your larger meal in it, including some veggies to snack on througout the day, protein shake mix(es) if you happen to crave those throughout the day.
i myself like to pack two sandwiches (milton’s low-carb wheat bread! and hummus as spread) i can carry with me in my backpack, while leaving a cooler with a nice meal like a nice big salad with a VERY healthy serving of salmon on top, vinegarette and olive oil as dressing. leftovers from the night before also serve as a good late afternoon meal after my lunch salad. i also bring with me a few bags of various veggies and fruits to snack on (obviously your preference), and if your pack has the space, a small container containing 2-3 hardboiled eggs. i opt to leave the protein shakes/mrps at home unless i know my day will not give me time to actually eat a meal.
naturally since it’s morning time and that’s when i like to eat most (and imo, that should be the case), i eat a pretty healthy-sized breakfast: a small bowl of oatmeal and bran with a big spoonful of peanut butter, 3 hardboiled eggs (i eat 1 yolk of the 3, and save the other two for a salad dressing recipe i eat at home), cottage cheese, some low-fat sausage (kind of an oxymoron, isn’t it? :)) 1-2 tomatoes sliced in half and browned in olive oil, an apple, my vitamins, and 2 glasses of water to wash it down.
naturally, the way i eat may not agree with you, but the most important thing is to ALWAYS, ALWAYS plan out what you will eat throughout the day. it will 1. help you keep better track of your caloric intake if you plan on dieting or bulking; 2. it will save you money in the long run since you won’t be paying upwards of at least 10$ to pay for a particular meal; 3. it will allow you to eat more often since food is always with you; and finally 4. it’s healthier since YOU ABSOLUTELY KNOW what you’re eating that day/week/month/year/decade.
obviously, initially, this takes some diligence to get in the swing of things, but once you’ve done this for a month or so, it’s like clockwork. if i don’t pack my meal the night before due to studying or some other reason, it takes me less than 20 minutes to fix my day’s meal’s up according to my schedule and have my cup of tea hot and ready as well as have most of my breakfast cooking. trust me guys (and gals), it’s easy.
good livin’, good liftin’.
oh yah, and hot rox for me please :).
