Protein Supplements

[big_addz]

Just doing some research for the Rugby off season that starts in oct and wondering what should i be looking for in a weight gain product, as far as ingredients? is there anything you should try and stay away from?

Stay away from sugar!

You can make your own gainers ... protein powders, milk, whole milk, cream, PB, flax oil, olive oil, cottage cheese, yogurt, oats, fruit, etc.

Prolab's N-Large 2 is a really popular gainer... and i wont be the last to say this....check you diet!

Prolab N-large 2

Bodyscience Nitric Rush

BSN Cell Mass

Breakfast - 7:30 oats or scrambled eggs with whole grain toast + glass of juice

Mid Morning - 10:30 - Prolab N-Large 2 + a handful of nuts

Lunch - 1:00 Chicken, Tuna or steak with either pasta or rice plus some boiled veggies or slad

Afternoon - 4:30 This is were i get kinda stuck, i usually have a can of tuna on a whole grain roll with a tub of yoghurt. any suggestions on other foods i should have are welcome, i think this is a pretty important meal coz i will train at 6:30pm.

Pre-workout BodySciene Nitric Rush

Workout - 6:30pm

Post Workout about 8:00pm Cellmass + post work out shake (50/50 protien carbs????)

Dinner - 8:30 What ever is cooked usually Pasta's, Salad's, Meat's.

Doesnt seem enough for me. It's all about science my friend. 1.5-2gms of protein per lbs of body weight or more. 1gram of carb per body weight. I wont suggest any fats because I really dont know how much RDA we need for that. It will be breakdown as 60% protein 30%carbs 10%fats.

Now, if you have a target weight let's say 180lbs. you should be eating atleast 190-360grams of protein; 180-200grams carbs (yet again i wont suggest any fats) everyday. this will be breakdown into 5-6 meals. so that's 360gms of protein and 200grams of carbs divided by 6.
you should be eating 60gms of protein and 34gms of carbs EVERY MEAL. Technically that's around 2 cans of tuna and half cup of rice. By the way every ounce of any meat or fish is equivalent to 7gms of protein. Hope this helps. Eat up!

they all sound okay. i would still prefer the classic way of chuggin down supplements. Good protein powder, creatine, and a vasolidator like NO2. For me it targets your gains specifically.

Nitric Rush = N.O

Thanks for the help so basically the way i have the eating plan set out is right, just need more food in each meal!
