Hey...I'm just checking your journal for the first time. I"m also dealing with IF...could I have a link to your blog?

That Tipton study includes FASTED subjects for the post-workout time period. Most of us do not train fasted. However, I do agree that pre workout meals are more important. Even a fast acting whey takes 60-90 minutes to hit the muscle. If you have a good pre-workout meal before training, that...

You should eat before both.

Strength loss usually means you are losing muscle.

If you're eating less carbs, you could be smaller.

Yes, from a strictly experimental viewpoint, yes. It is a beautifully designed study. However, how many people lift fasted? My argument was against extrapolating the results and concluding that pre workout meals result in more muscle gain/be more important than post workout meals when you...

Then how do you know if it is enough. Even if all the food is fine, if it isn't ENOUGH you won't gain. Most hard-gainers simply don't eat enough.

How many calories is it? Is it enough for your current stats?

Yes, but Tipton compared FASTED lifting with post workout shake to a lifting session with Pre-workout and no post workout. Obviously fasted lifting is going to result in less muscle gain even WITH post workout supplementation. You really can't extrapolate to a situation in which someone has...

How can you lose fat without dropping weight?
