you need to add a protein source in your breakfast. more eggs. all of the protein is not in the white. it's about half in the white, half in the yolk. eat whole eggs they are good for you. add some natural pb in there also.

Original Post by wvumaniac13:

it seems as though many people on here are deathly afraid of protein. extra protein in your diet is not going to hurt you especially if you work out. you need it. i get 200-250g a day by the way and have seen amazing results from my diet and routine.

um, yeah, but you're on a bulking diet :) so obviously you will be getting way more protein than a person on a normal diet, esp teen girls like me or meleba. all in all i think it depends on your body's needs. i agree that people trying to build muscle need more. but i maintain my muscle fine on a relatively small amount of protein.

 i was making the point that some extra protein in someone's diet won't hurt. and at 5'9" 110 i find it herd to believe you have much muscle at all. also you could get away with  eating more than 1800 calories a day and still maintain your weight. that seems kind of low.

i suggest eating foods and dumping that weight gainer as it is filled with junk in my opinion. get all of your calories from foods and supplement with a protein shake instead. eat lots of lean meats and whole wheat and whole grain foods. lots of cottage cheese, veggies. go out and get lots of cans of tuna. oats, eggs, natural pb. it's not hard to get the calories and protein you need from foods.

it's all a matter of what you put into your body. i over eat but i do it in a contolled and measured manner so i can maximize muscle gain with little fat gain. i've been on a calorie surplus for about 5 months now and am still finding it hard to put on some weight. i'm actually considering going up to 3700 calories. i think that there is a big difference between getting 3000 calories in clean healthy foods compared to junk

you need carbs. you don't gain weight from eating carbs. you gain weight by  regularly having a surplus of calories. i suggest trying to get all of your macro nutrients from actual foods and not supplements.  how many calories do you consume compared to how many you burn?

it's going to be very hard for you to put on muscle 1)because you are a female and 2) because you have a calorie deficit. the general rule for muscle building (for me anyways) is to eat 500 calories over maintanence, but again that is me. my advice would be to experiment and see what works. for example i am eating 3,000-3,500 calories a day with a macro ratio of 40% carbs, 40% protein, and 20% healthy fats. i believe there is a female section over at bodybuilding.com. you might want to head over there and see what some people are doing.

focus on primary weight training such as presses, squats, dead lifts, and rows as these will improve strength and then do a couple sessions of HIIT a week for about 25 minutes and you should see great results. also you will need to keep eating right to see the muscle gain that you want.

lots of protein bars are filled with sugar lots with HFCS. whey protein shakes are so much better and are also filled with other stuff that is good for you.

ex: regular detour bar, 310cals, 7g fat(5gsat. f), 20mg cholesterol, 350mg of sodium, 150mg of potassium, 32g of carbs, 4g of sugar, 30g of protein, no vitamin a, no vitamin b, no vitamin c.

serving of myoplex whey protein mix: 280cals, 3g fat(1gsat. f), 50mg cholesterol, 270mg of sodium, 780mg of potassium, 24g of carbs, 3g of fiber, 2g of sugar, 42g of protein. daily values= 50% vitamin a, 100% vitamin e, 50% vitamin b6, 50% pantothenic acid, 50% zinc, 80% chromium, 50% vitamin c, 50% thiamin, 50% folate, 45% phosphorus, 35% selenium, 70% molybdenum, 70% calcium, 60% riboflavin, 90% vitamin b12 and many more

but getting everything you need from actual food is the best way to go if possible hence why whey is a supplement.

not liking hard boiled eggs sucks. just make sure that when he eats eggs that he just doesn't eat the whites because just the whites are an incomplete source of protein. for example when i eat eggs i have four egg whites with two whole eggs. other foods could be lean chicken and turkey, tell him to stomach as much veggies as he can(i easily go through two whole cucumbers a day), get smart-balance omega-3 pb to put on that celery, oats, flax seeds, try to get the protein from real food rather than protein bars, and he might have to supplement with a whey protein shake. and tell him to not worry about going over the recommended amount of protein because it won't hurt deffinately since he works out.

if you are just starting out then you don't have to worry about isolation workouts. focus on simple strength training such as bench presses, squats, rows, and dead lifts.
