Dr. Pain, w8 sorry if I was being pain in the

If you posted serving sizes it would be much easier to help you!

We can't tell you how much more cream to have if we don't know what you're having now.

OG....do you understand that you're not even getting 1500 calories per day? You're getting between 1000-1200. It's too low.

Just imagine how much you'd drop if you listened the first time!

 

[Freeman]

How are you measuring your bf% ???

 

[oceangurl01]

the cream that im getting about 10 grams of fat
the calories thatyou guys are saying im taking between 1000- 1200 . its not! im eating lots of lettuce and broccli that adds calories too and im not posting that (because it doesnt count as a meal) (i snack on veggies all the time)

at the gym that i go to.... they check your bf %

 

[Freeman]

do they use calipers? or one of those electronic scales?

 

[w8lifter]

But OG...it doesn't count be cause IT DOESN'T COUNT! Veggies, while good for you and essential....are not enough...we don't even add the veggies to our counts. You need to start consuming more food, in addition to the veggies your eating.

 

[Freeman]

...a quick aside: w8, you're looking damn good. pic is awesome! Keep up the good work, and if you ever compete down in Florida, let me know, I'll come cheer for ya!

OG, I think w8 knows what she's talking about here.

 

[oceangurl01]

ok. ill try to change.. i changed my meals since i joined
i think its the electronic that they use at the gym.

 

[Freeman]

well, OG, the electronic scales that are used to "measure" BF% are crap. You need to get tested using calipers..

 

[oceangurl01]

what are the calipers?

 

[Freeman]

Ummm, I don't know if there is a link to them somewhere on this site. But basically they're these little tools that measure your BF by taking measurements on your skin at different places on your body....if someone has some pics on here, help me out.

 

[oceangurl01]

thats what they use! and they electronic

 

[Freeman]

ok, well I asked if they use those electronic scales. The ones you step on....sorry for the confusion.

[Freeman]

Ok, awesome. Now w8, just buy it for me and I'll REALLY think you're the greatest!

 

[oceangurl01]

no, i dont step on anything! they use calipers just like you said!
is it true its better not to drink my protein shake before my morning workout?
i usually have my shake pre workout
then after workout ill have a high protein meal with fat and some carbs

 

[Freeman]

IMO, shakes are great for post workout, but you don't need anything to slow down absorption because your muscles need the protein right away. I eat a meal before my workout and then have a post w/o shake.

 

[oceangurl01]

i try to have a meal in the morning before my workout, but sometimes i feel like the food is gonna even though i only simple food that is not too heavy

 

[Freeman]

well, you gotta give yourself time after you eat before you go and work out..I usually give it 45min to an hour, but that's just me

 

[oceangurl01]

i have a busy schedule ! that means i gotta get up at 5 am so i can let the food to digest

 

[butterfly]

I workout at night so I've already had a few meals before the gym although I don't usually eat right before going to the gym.

I like some kind of protein drink/shake right after my workouts, too.

 

[Stacey]

I do the same thing Butterfly!!!

 

[Freeman]

I do the exact opposite! I work out early in the morning usually. My gym is just too damn busy any time after noon. I hate waiting for things.

 

[Stacey]

Ohh I know, My gym is always packed at night!! I go around 8:30 or 9pm!! And its still crowded!!!! SUX~ But I stay up late w/ the hubby at night, sooo going in the mornings never works out for me!

 

[Freeman]

Up late w/ the hubby eh?? oooh-lala

 

[butterfly]

oh their still newlyweds

 

[Freeman]

yeah, that'll change soon enough, am I right or what?

 

[Stacey]

Nah..your wrong..been married a year now, still stay up late w/ him... Although thats not late for him..since he gets home from work at 10:30pm...

 

[butterfly]

fade and I have been married 6 yrs in April and we are still all lovey dovey
