I would rather spend that $100, or however much NOXplod is, down at the Deli and pick up some meats.

Spend a valuable hour working out, burning fat, preparing the muscle for regeneration/buildup - then down the worst thing on the planet right afterwards - liquid refined sugar.

Lack of knowledge can be so dangerous in this game. He could have downed a great tasting protein shake with carbs that would have provided the right intake his body needed - not to mention even better tasting.

COKE -

Mont, your words are so true! I'm not sure if my post belongs in this thread or not.

Even sites that claim to provide knowledge need to be srutinized.

Here is an exceprt from The Beverage Institute for Health and Wellness webpage.

Q. Is it true that caffeinated beverages can help keep me hydrated?

A. While older studies show that caffeine can have a mild, short-term diuretic effect in individuals who do not normally consume caffeine, more recent studies have shown that this is not the case for people who regularly consume caffeine. As a result, a report on water needs released in 2004 by the Institute of Medicine of the National Academy of Sciences concluded that all beverages, including those with caffeine, contribute to hydration

Sounds on the level until you read the fine print

What do you guys think of this stuff? The FIL is signing up to get on the MLM scheme....just like he did with Excell.



I like these few quotes.

The VIBETM formula begins with USP23 pharmaceutical grade water. The water molecules are then enhanced using Eniva's unique structured water process, called Negative Field ActivationTM. Next, Eniva's proprietary SolutomicTM and aqueous technologies are applied.
These breakthrough processes engage various nutritional components and produce a superior water-soluble nutrient delivery system. Lastly, the composition and effectiveness of the solution are enhanced through the application of Vibrational FrequencyTM Technology.

Enhancing water molecules is a helluva cool thing to do....

By combining the ever-growing home-based business sector, worldwide market trends, and breakthrough health technologies, it is the Vision of ENIVA to present the premiere network marketing opportunity to the world. With in-house R&D and manufacturing capabilities, Eniva uniquely supports its Vision by continually bringing cutting-edge technologies to the marketplace

Isn't that how they get cars to run on water instead of gas?

I have a question. How much grams of protein per day should one consume if they weigh lets say 200 pounds?

[Faint]

I believe it is anywhere between 1g/lb to 1.5g/lb
so for 200 pounds anywhere between 200-325
but i would tend to say around 200 or a bit more.

[Mondo]

Okay thanks.

Pretty much. Just a quick note, if you're eating 1g/lb protein you should be drinking at least one gallon of water, 1.5g/lb of protein and you should be getting at least a gallon and a half and so on.
Don;t forget your fiberous veggies too...

-...and dont forget that INsoluble fiber as well - like a scoop or two of wheat bran every day.

Basing your protein consumption on body weight is not a bad idea however you should consider the ammount of lean body mass you have when doing so.

No offense hear but if you are 200 but you are packing an extra 60 pounds of fat you do not need as much protein as a person who is 200 and very lean.

Some magazines and such say up to 2 grams per pound of bodyweight. Boy are you gonna be sick of tuna chicken and cottage cheese because you will be eating it all day. Wait a minute though you can pick up a handy protein shake and gulp down 50 grams of protein in no time. Just consider the source the magazine gets money from supplememnt companies so they scratch each others backs a little.

Don't get me wrong I am all for supplementing but be smart I suggest start by trying one gram of protein per pound of lean body mass and see how you feel after you are settled into a routine in the gym and you have a good feel for how sore you are after your workouts and how long it takes for your body to recover then try 1.5 grams per pound and see if you feel any better.

Remmeber get the protein from many sources and allways have carbs with it.

I have also read many places that the average persons body cant make use of having more than 20 to 30 grams of protein in one meal anyone have any thoughts on this it sounds like good reasoning to me?

It's a load of ѕhit that's based off of an old wives tale. It takes no science into account. Fact is, there is no average person. There are far too many variables to consider. There is (are) currently lab(s) doing experiments on this very subject, however there are still missing pieces to the puzzle that one must account for. I absolutely loathe this myth and it's perpetuators.

[Damion]

Granted there is no average person when it comes to nutrition or fitness or any other walk of life for that mater I just thought that it had a sensible ring to it I mean there are quite afew things your body can only absorb so much of before it rights itself. Vitamins for example if you take more than you need the excess will show up in your urine, in some cases this can be hard on your body as well. I do not wish to argue as I could tell from yours and monts previous posts that your knowledge on these subjects is substantiall. So thats why posed it as a question. Like I said these are things that I have herd and read so I was curious. If you could point me towards some reading so I could become better informed myself that would be greatly appreciated.

It is still my understanding that if yoyu were to consume protein only post workout your body would use it first and foremost to replennish energy right?
