No, you are not eating great if 50% of your protein is coming from a shake. Go eat 180grm of Protein FOOD... chicken, steak, fish, goat, whale, shark, rooster, anything! And if you are trying to gain some muscle.. 150 gms of carbs won't get you nothing... try to get that into the 300+ range. If you want to get big, go eat some food! Don't be scared to order that triple cheeseburger, you need some calories!

Horse meat is actually very good too.

Seriously - lay off of the shakes - your body needs real food. Shakes are for when you can't get real food or as a supplement, not a staple.

"I invented a device called 'Burger on the Go'. It allows you to obtain 6 regular size hamburgers, or 12 sliders, from a horse without killing the animal. George Foreman is still considering it. Sharper Image is still considering it. Sky Mall's considering it. Hammacher Schlemer is still considering it...

Sears said, 'No'."

Yes, definitely a contender for "most random post"

JayFive · #9 (**permalink**) 10-16-2009, 01:20 PM

It was a quote from The Office lol. B/c Ren said something about horse meat.

See, not totally random...

LOL - I've only watched a few episodes and that was one of them.

Thanks for the reply. So honestly i just need to force feed myself? and the only reason i drink 4 servings of eas 23g protein shakes is i work very hard in a very warm enviroment and have problems with having an appetite over my ten hour work day it sucks.

Make your self eat.

If your training well?,especially the big 3 then you will most definately be hungry.

The Office is a great show

If you are properly pushing yourself in the gym, your body should demand more nutrients than you usually need hence, you are become more hungry.

What are some causes of not being hungry? I ask because I usually find this is a common complaint for people who are trying to put on mass but doesn't make much sense if you are working out properly.

You could just make the basic arguement that if you don't feel hungry, then you must not need any nutrients, but, we know there are other things that cause us to not be hungry. If you could figure out these other things, than you can solve the root of the problem instead of working around the problem.

My limited knowledge of hunger killers:

You ARE getting enough nutrients
Not expending enough energy (i.e. not working out hard enough)
Inefficient/ineffective digestion causing backup/full feelings
Stress/depression
Smoking cigs/alcohol withdrawl
Various infections/viruses
Certain prescription drugs

Add to list if you know more, but these are items that should be looked at and addressed if you find yourself not being able to eat.

its as simple as not training hard enough,if your putting the effort in then you will notice the difference for sure,but you also need to put the effort in the kitchen.

-Eating too much fat is a huge reason.
-Eating too much food in one sitting - it takes acclimation.
-Just being a pu$$.

Another reason I like cardio - it improves the digestive system and increases appetite (hence why I think it's a good idea even during mass gaining cycles).

I hate cardio but i do it for those reasons,i find it also helps keep the rest between sets short too,gives me more puff!!
