hi all,
just after some advice on keeping your hard earned muscle.
im in the army and am in the field quite often,so am unable to keep up my calorie/protein intake that i usually have when at home.
i try and take extra food with me but all that weight adds up,i jokingly regard this as my “cutting phase”.
any advice on what i could do to keep my muscle would be much appreciated,
Take a look a today’s article. Bringing along some BCAA’s might help. Also, I’m not in the military, but when I’ve been out mountain climbing for the day, I keep a few FINiBARs in my backpack.
While not one to ask about training as I am rather new at lifting i have been in the Army for 10 years now. Some techniques that I have seen work in the past…
Pre bag protein powder in zip-lock bags.
Snag some of the leftover hot b-fast if u get some… the eggs last ok
carry extra smokes and trade them for MRE’s
Sandbag workouts if u are doing gunnery
Nuts for calories
Stash some of the bagged tuna in the trucks or brads
