The big thing to do for marathon training is to condition your body to be able to take in simple carbs during a long run. For example, on your longer runs Ten miles and plus, take a energy bar, or a gel shot with you and take a small dosage of it half way through. Slowly build up until you can...

first off, 230! Your Huge! :thumb: Alright, as for your diet, on the meals where you do chicken salmon or turkey, there could be the problem in that when you do chicken or turkey you aren't getting quite enough fats in. Perhaps sprinkle some olive oil or perhaps some flaxseed oil in? There...

It's the holidays! Don't be afraid to live alittle. :thumb:

:sigh: we just went through this. But - I will say it again. 2 tablespoons Natural Peanut Butter, 1 Cup.. (usually more for me) of cottage cheese = heaven.:thumb:

Natural Peanut Butter. Works wonders, stir it in, you won't regret it.

The problem with yogurt is that it is sometimes hard to find a good brand. It all depends on what you are using for, pre-bed, with a meal and so on.

I think many will agree here that although cardio is effective in burning fat. There is nothing like weight training. Weight training = more lean mass = more calories burned by muscle = usually less fat. So I think of it this way, spend an hour sweating during cardio, depleting muscle...

Thanks for the input! I think I'll most likely incorperate some upright rows into my workout. As for there being an Arm day - perhaps there could be a way to switch it up? I don't know, rather than it being an arm day I could probably swap out back onf the first day or something. But for know...

I know this subject is tortued to heck but here goes, I've been really trying to tweak and fiddle my routine. For about the past year or so I was a marathon/ultra marathon runner - I worked out doing a full body twice a week split - well I recently got the flu, lost a heck of alot of weight and...

Everyone who is skinny tries out a weight gainer. You want to buy that expensive crap? Take this thanksgiving weight gainer. Turkey and cheesecake. Protein. Carbs. Bam. Weight gainer.

Does microwaving bulgur change the GI? I'v found that I can cook it much more quickly by simply tossing some bulgur in a cup with a little water and nuking it for abit - will this change anything on it? I mean, change the GI?

Personally I'm a early morning man. I'm up at 4:50, eat, and then by about 6:30 I'm working out. Feels great to get working out done earlier.

heh.. don't think that you are thinking about the same teeth we are. Having your wisdom teeth removed involves a -surgery-. Hence, you saying "I took one out" leads me to believe that we are not on the same topic.

Honestly when I got my wisdom teeth out I simply went all out on protein shakes. Luckily, we can still eat oatmeal with no problem. But mostly - let your mouth heal. Personally it only took me about three days before I could eat solid food again. Good luck!
