water in a shaker and drink it straight outta that, thought it was abit bland to start with but now i wont do anything else

Hmmm, the various brands must make a big difference then. I've tried 2 popular chocolate whey brands and both taste terrible in water. When I mixed them in cold milk however, it is like a nite and day difference.

Either way I find milk works best for me. Cause there is very few things I can find to mask the terrible taste of the Glutamine powder. So in addition to the protein, I add 5 g's of creatine and 5 g's of glutamine. The milk works very well to hide the bad taste of the glutamine.

greekblondechic · 01-22-2004, 12:46 AM

no milk for me

Today:

50mins cardio

1/2c oatmeal 1.5 scoop protein

4oz roast beef, salad, small handful nuts

1.5 scoop protein 1 tbsp pb

salad w "low cal french" small pieces chicken, salmon, turkey, fish
stir fried veggies, squash 5-6 peanuts

1 scoop protein 1 tsp peanut butter

more cough drops!!!

Hi GBC!

Lookin' good I see. Your not hungry throughout the day with your eating plan are you?

You're braving than I as of late! I've been really bad!

atherjen · 01-22-2004, 04:59 AM

doesnt look bad, not as much whey protein, if you maybe add some eggs or something at breakfast and move the powder from there it'd be tip top!

(hoping you like eggs? )

jill jen sapphire jlb randy

Today so far sucks!
I got on the scale..bad idea i gained like 4-5lbs (water..hopefully)
I retain so much its unbelievable! and upsetting

I went to the gym, yay, that made me feel better..

til my prof sent me a flaming email for being late to class, suggesting I drop the course...

i was 15mins late! GEEZ

Hi Beautiful!!

I hold alot of water too, especially you know when.. BLAH!! Hate it!! I think most women retain alot of water....

Ignore that prof! Don't let him get you down... but I guess you should try to be on time if you can help it!!

greekblondechic · 01-22-2004, 01:19 PM

hey everyone,
david sometimes i am hungry, but i think i am ok and its more that i just want to eat out of boredom

i know i have too many protein shakes mmm!
they are not whey they are a casein whey and albumen (?) blend
its called ProM3 by ISS (is this more acceptable

hehe)

i was thinking 3 shakes/day is probably too much and I will try to swap one of those with egg whites

does anybody know if i make oatmeal + egg white pancakes ahead of time, how long i can store them in the fridge and or freezer before they go bad?

Also..now that school has started my days will be much longer..im not quite sure how to manage eating every 3-3.5 hrs w only 5 meals per day if i am up early til very late? should i add another meal? stop eating earlier? break my meals into smaller ones so theres more of them? any suggestions would be great

sapphire, its depressing cuz I've been real good w my diet (IMO) and yet i am gaining weight/bloated and so i look bad and may have not lost any fat

as for my prof, i have an appt to see him at 4!

oh and i will definately do my best to be on time for that class!!!!!!

naturaltan · 01-22-2004, 01:55 PM

with a long day, you could probably get 6/7 meals in a day (which I believe is even better)

Feezing it would be interesting in the sense of it would turn out but really, if unthawed it should turn out normal.

Egg white pancakes or a batter dip? If it's truly egg and sitting in the fridge uncracked of course, then, 2 days??

Randy · 01-22-2004, 03:28 PM

Hey Greek,

You sound like your really working hard...
Maybe Jodie can help you get over some of the bumps in the road though... Jodie seems to be the nutrician expert here.

<just a thought my friend>

atherjen · 01-22-2004, 05:26 PM

Greek, try adding another meal, and space each meal every 2.5-3hrs. I do 6/day.. and this way it helps to ward off hunger. eat lots of fiberous veggies to help fill you up as well.
Im glad your protein powder is not just a whey, the blend you have will last you longer (in terms of digestion).
as for premaking those protein pancakes, I tryed that before and they were rather tuff when cold. but I still ate them. :P

Randy · 01-22-2004, 06:25 PM

Good point Jen, they say spacing your meals 3 hours apart helps to increase your metabolism (I do believe).... This helps burn off fat much more efficiently.

you bethca! it keeps the fire burning! adding small amounts at more frequent times. Also keeps a steady flow of amino acids in your blood to aid in repair and building muscle that we work hard for.

Ive done it - If you have access to a microwave to reheat them they tasted pretty good to me! ALso, maybe trying adding some fish oil caps to some of your meals. The fat will help slow down the digestion also. Lotsa salad keeps me stuffed for several hours too! Keep up the good work!

greekblondechic · 01-22-2004, 08:12 PM

i do eat about every 3 hours..

I am working hard, and seem to be getting no results or even going backwards..i just dont understand

the only bad thing im eating is cough drops!!!!

I'd love Jodi's help in addition to everybody else's..but I'm kinda shy to ask...

Today:

1/2 c oatmeal 1.5 scoop protein

can tuna, salad, small handful peanuts

low carb protein bar

low carb protein bar (i know i know..)

Weights: shoulders, bi's back
overhead press w dumbbells 3*20
side raises (?) 20-15-20
bicep curls 3*20
lat pulldowns 3*20
rowing machine 5mins

30mins cardio

5oz chicken broiled in canola oil (blotted) salad

JLB001 · 01-22-2004, 08:35 PM

Greek...sometimes you have to throw something in you would normally not have to get things going again.

Stay away from the bars, eat real food instead.

greekblondechic · 01-22-2004, 08:46 PM

do u mean a cheat meal jlb?

atherjen · 01-23-2004, 06:13 AM

hun dont feel shy to ask ANYTHING. heck if you wanna know the color of my undies just ask.

lol
the bars have really got to go sweety. they could very well be holding you back from additonal progress.

Sapphire · 01-23-2004, 07:10 AM

Hey Greeky!!

I know how hard it is to skip the bars!! They taste good and are convenient. BUT you and I both have to stop eating them!! Let's help each other. Maybe we could consider them a cheat ONCE in a while instead of a meal.

I am gonna try to NOT eat any bars during the week and allow myself ONE on the weekend.

Awesome idea hun!!

Sapphire · 01-23-2004, 12:13 PM

Thanks Atherjen! I am gonna try really hard! What do you think is the lesser of two evils, a cliff bar or a "low carb" protein bar?

Oh yeah.. and what color undies are you wearing?

atherjen · 01-23-2004, 01:28 PM

lesser of 2 evils. well the cliff bars are packed with sugars.. and low carb one is artificial sweetners. If its your once a week cheat, then heck I say eat the one that your going to be satisfied the most with.
mine would be a trioplex bar. they're evil but the only one that I like. :P

my undies today? ......*checking* light baby blue. I sure dont match.

Sapphire · 01-23-2004, 01:48 PM

Mine are blue today too!!

greekblondechic · 01-23-2004, 02:03 PM

black here!
