thanks aaron - i workout after my 3rd meal (out of 6) of the day, so i guess the fast protein wouldn't be that much of a factor. Good to know - I'll completely convert to egg whites (which is actually cheaper once my source starts producing their own stuff) for my whey powder, it ends up being...

I'm looking specifically for studies that compare subjects that consume fast protein before and after a workout, to subjects that consume slow protein. I know there was a study that was recently posted that showed that consuming whey before and after a workout resulted in more muscle gain...

thanks Lance. Do you know of any natural sources of faster proteins? Also, are egg whites as slow as casein?

So in my quest to eliminate processed foods from my diet, I'm strongly considering replacing my whey protein powder with egg whites. Cost wise, it's actually cheaper per gram of protein to go with egg whites - i just calculated this recently. Now are the proteins in egg white fast or slow or...

thanks man.

Aaron! - please respond to my post in the weight gain thread - i'm not tryin to sucker u into anything. I'm genuinely interested in what you have to say about it.

aaron - still awaiting your answer here! http://www.hypertrophy-specific.com/cgi-bin....;t=1072

I use a hand blender to blend them in water. I mix in almond butter, honey, chopped banana, ginger, and whey protein. Tastes quite delicious - the banana is key for flavour. Takes forever to blend it though, and i frequently have to reblend while i'm drinking it. I mix 3/4 of a cup of oats...

Ok lemme put it this way: is there any reason I should favour malto over oats? is there any disadvantage to going low GI (at least for bulk of carbs)?

so high GI is more controversial as an associated factor of diabetes, when in a hypocaloric context right? since i'm in a HYPERcaloric context (bulking with over 4000 cals) even more reason to avoid high GI right? and just for sake of caution, it seems prudent to me to lower the GI. From what...

actually, with the hand blender I use, they don't blend very well - and even if they do, I definitely don't get that huge sugar rush I got from the maltodextrin based shake. Besides, anything that isn't processed is probably healthier in my books, especially when consuming large amounts in the...

when you're looking to get 1500-2000 calories from carbs, it seems prudent to ease up on the high GI stuff. If only to stave off the risk of diabetes.

I used the mammoth 2500 successfully for a few months - went through 8.8 kilos a month - cost me 130 canadian bux (after tax) each month. From what I understand, you can make your own cheaper, by buying maltodextrin in bulk and finding a cheap source of protein. Either way, I quit using it coz...

You can estimate the relative quantity of a given ingredient by its order on the list of ingredients. The peanut butter I used to eat (which was the dominion equality brand), had hydrogenated vegetable oil as its 2nd or 3rd ingredient. It was also loaded with corn syrup, which from what I...

Ok I used fitday to calculate my nutritional profile, and here's a summary. (wish there was a way to link to the exact page) (This is after lowering my coconut and flax to 1 tbsp each) Total Calories: 4082 Fat:...........35% (sat = 6% poly = 7% mono = 14%) Carbs:........38% Protein:......26%...

well - i used to get 3000 calories a day from an MRP + milk. I've chosen to eliminate the MRP (the high content of maltodextrin didn't sit well with my "conscience"), and i'm down to half a litre of milk a day instead of 2 litres. That leaves a lot of calories to fill in, and i figure...

i've cut down to 3. Just bought some flax seed oil and have 2 tbsp's a day. And I have about 1-2 tbsps of coconut oil also.

I just question the value of something that has to be tampered with in order to consume. Humans didn't evolve to ingest canola oil.

Natural rapeseed oil is mildly toxic. Canola oil is a bred variety that contains less erucic acid. Studies have shown that the amount of processing that the final product undergoes introduces trans fats, and breaks down the omegas. Not sure if all canolas are like this though. Additionally...
