I dunno, everyone seems to think putting cottage cheese in a blender somehow makes it go down easier. Heck, maybe that'll work for eggs, too... :D

Peanut-butter flavored cottage cheese? I'm gagging just thinking about it! Tell me you aren't mixing this all together...

Thanks Mike - I was thinking in terms of use for pre- and post-workout liquid protein but as the occasional food substitute too. Besides, I'd rather eat dog crap than cottage cheese... :D

Can anyone recommend any specific protein suppliements that are casein-based (casein protein hydrolysate, I believe is the correc term), where you may have purchased them, and the approx. price? I am looking for a replacement for the GNC whey stuff I'm currently using. Thanks in advance!

Got some results from a recent blood test, and am curious if anyone knows how to interpret to determine my level of insulin sensitivity & reaction to carb intake. Here are some pertinent numbers, along with the (low-high range): Glucose 91 mg/dL (70-110) Bun 20 mg/dL (7-23)...

Bryan mentioned something interesting about water & creatine in this post on HS:cre saying that diet/calorie intake had more influence than water intake.

Keebler Elf - By this do you mean that you figured, say, your 5RM and decremented downward from there with no zig-zag, OR do you mean you used something like a 12-10-8-6-4 RM scheme instead?

Started taking HS:Cre 2-3 weeks ago, near the start of my 1st-ever cycle. Never used any creatine before. I "loaded" during my 2nd week of 15s and have been taking a maintenance dose daily. I am drinking approx. 1 gallon water daily. A couple questions: - At this point (after...

In another post, someone mentioned doing refeeds on weekends (eating about +500 over maintenance), but eating around maintenance during the rest of the week. I believe the goal here was to reduce fat while preserve (or gain) LBM. Can someone elaborate a little on the refeed concept? What does...

I'm hoping in 4 weeks I can lose what I've spent 40 years creating! ;) Nothing worse than a guy w/ hips wider than his shoulders.... I'm too close for comfort!

Thanks, Mike, for the info (and bday wishes). My main goal is some fat loss for this cycle, though I don't have that much to lose. I am taking a cruise in 4 weeks :D and want to lose the ab flab that makes me "skinny fat". Next cycle I plan to (try) to go for mass gains. I'll...

Thanks, Aaron, for basically confirming my thoughts. I have been tracking meals on Fitday.com, and "guesstimating" portion sizes (I think I'm pretty close). The calories seem to be fairly consistent. I have not measured BF%, though I should. I have suspected some insulin...

I'm a little confused & hope someone can straighten me out. I'm doing my first HST cycle, and I'm eating around 2000-2500 cals (170lb) which is in the ballpark for maintenance; daily carb intake is somewhat limited (around 200g); protein is 150-180g/day (1 g/pound), taking 3g fish oil...

Nice stuff, Rob. The calorie calculator is pretty much accurate based on the process Bryan lays out in his Eating For Size article. From what I take from what others are writing, it seems that they are taking in even more cals than what Bryan/your process would recommend. Someone...

My understanding of the proper macronutrient ratios of pre- and post-workout drinks should be something like: Pre: 15-20g protein + 20g carbs Post: 30g protein + 50-70g carbs and should be quickly digestable (i.e., liquid form). Correct so far? I'm looking for some suggestions on...

I guess that's different than what I've always seen/read. I've read that one of the advantages to eating 4-6 small meals per day was reducing the calorie intake at one time; too many cals over what's needed would likely get stored as fat. I guess as long as it's not overdone (on carbs &amp...

Thanks for your thoughts Steve! John

Workouts fit into my schedule best when they are after work & dinner. My concerns with this are: 1. Though waiting 1 hour after eating to workout, still have to drink a pre-workout drink - fills you up too much. My gut will explode. 2. Having to take another drink right after 3. Having...

Hey... guess everyone needs a(nother) hobby... :)

Thanks! :D
