There is no gym on ship, Just a crappy bowflex, a treadmill, and a few free weights... up to 60lbs i think.

You will have to get inventive with your training - you should check out things like gymnastic tension exercises and Bodyweight exercises (they can be really effective if you have limits on equipment). For your diet I would be relying on fruits, skim milk, oats, powders, nuts, eggs and fish oil caps + and what ever other things you can scavange from food hall... (lean proteins etc).... Any chance of legumes or anything like that? Also - Can you smuggle food from the hall to eat later? Things like potato/white rice (as long as they have no added fat) are not too bad. Just ensure you combine it with vegetables, proteins and some healthy fats and you will be ok. I would be having unprocessed stuff rather than bread every time!! Remember - If your overall calorie intake is still fine then it is not going to be too bad. Your body can't store what you don't give it. So keep on top of your cals and monitor yourself and see how you go. ps: don't have apple PWO - swap it to a banana |
cant really get anything outta there to eat later except fruits, skippy , and brown(not wheat) bread... ... maybe ill get rid of my disorder

And no, nothing like that there in alaska, its not like im going to anchorage or anything, just a few islands off the east of alaska, adak and kodiak... never heard of it? exactly ... theyve got a walmart though ... lol. |

| The only fruits they'll have are grapes/peaches/pears/apples ... What supplements do you think i should stock up on to bring... Do you think it would be fine to have milk/whey/fruit or whey/oats as snacks throughout the day outside of the regular meals? What do you think of the diet I was thinking of? |

Grapes would be better PWO. I think that milk/whey/oats and fruit (+/- skippy, fish oils or flax oil) would be fine. You could also bring some olive oil if you were really keen (so you don't OD on the fish oils). The packaged oatmeal would not be too bad as a source of oats. Make sure you combine it with a protein if you are eating it at times other than PWO and a fat and you will be fine. I would not recommend too many gainer type MRPs. You would be better off with fruit/milk or trying to get some of those oatmeal packets out. Stuff I would certainly bring would be: protein powders oats fish oils, flax and olive oil if you wanted If you can get eggs easily then they will also be your best-friend (try to get them to cook you up half a dozen every morning and snack on them during the day...??). |

| I know bars arent the best option, but im thinking of bringing a box or two of tri-o-plex. They are the only bars with decent carbs in them (no malto or dextrose etc.) Mostly oats. |

| Whats a good brand? What about a mixed blend for all purpose use? something with whey, casein, and maybe some egg albumen? |
) Get a good MRP and a huge stash or bars and you should be just fine.
