Hi,
To me nutrition is the most important, so what if you do compound weight exercises but nutrition sucks.
Eat protein and when i tell you eat protein i dont mean your pri 1 chicken rice portion at the hawker centre.I mean for one meal eat thrice of that amount(opt for breast meat).Also make good friends with the economical rice uncle and buy 4 meats with rice.Eat fruits and veges as well.Have 6 meals a day.2 in the morning, 2 in the afternoon and 2 at night.One small meal and one heavy meal each for different times.Heavy meal would be what i stated, for a light meal you can drink 250ml of milk and eat peanut butter WHOLEMEAL sandwich OR TUNA sandwich( 2-3 slices) and some fruit(bananas recommanded).You better drink one litre of milk a day.
AND YOU BETTER EAT AND EAT AND EAT
PLEASE DONT SHOW ME YOUR KINDERGARDEN FOOD PORTION AND ASK ME IF ITS ENOUGH.Sorry a bit deranged here.Stress...
good luck
and please dont eat all the rubbish food served at coffee shops like char kway teow.
Only eat those crappy food if you are bulking or something, they are good for bulking(if you are skinny) and after that you cut.
BUT THEY ARE SH*T for maintaining muscle. -
wow!
6meals a day!
so, any more tips?
ill take the one on drinking milk and b-r-e-a-s-t meat -
Change white bread to wholemeal bread.I just made a recent change.
Almonds make good snacks.But dont eat more than what you worked for.
Stock up your milk.
I give you a list of things to buy from your NTUC:
MANGNOLIA HI-CAL LO FAT MILK
CHEESE SLICES
PEANUT BUTTER
TUNA
WHOLEMEAL BREAD
BANANAS mostly importantly, potassium helps prevent muscle cramp and gives you energy.
GLUCOLIN/DEXTROSE* to mix inside your post workout protein shake if you have it.
ALMONDS* if you want to.. but peanut butter already has the good fats almond has.
Thats all i can think of now.
AND EAT F*CKIN A LOT A LOT A LOT A LOT A LOT A LOT A LOT A LOT and sleep 7-8 hrs a day to recover muscles.
try www.nutri-forefront.com and forums.hardwarezone.com(Sports,fitness and health corner forum) for more advice. -
now holidays sleep late and wake up late counted?
-
woot! become sticky
-
sticky because i dont have to keep saying the same things to beginners, sia ar like a repitition like that.
As long as you sleep 7-8 hours its okay liao.Drink milk before you sleep as it has casein(a slow diegesting protein)which will make sure that your body is in an anabolic state.
POst your CURRENT diet here and i will comment. -
This chicken rice is a snack to me
I do not eat the skin though...
you eat x1.5-2 that amount of chicken and x 1.5 of that amount of rice and i will call it a meal -

-
That chicken rice looks wicked sick !!!
-
Simon u eat so much?
eh are u able to burn it off later??? -
what do you think the food is used for?
-
The minus side is that milk contain fat and some carbs. So when you don't burn the carbs off when you sleep, the calories may convert to fat.Originally posted by Simon Dean:sticky because i dont have to keep saying the same things to beginners, sia ar like a repitition like that.

If the subject is training intensively, the protein in milk may not be enough, then may be a better choice to supplement with Cassein protein powder. -
dont worry, the protein from the milk will be used to recover his muscles when he sleeps.
As long as you do some form of exercise, you need not worry so much. -
Nutrition is more impt than training.
You can read this thread started by captnj in HWZ.
Eating right really matters.
Also, where to find some foods in Singapore may be informative. -
