And how much protien is in that peanut butter vs. a Casein shake? GTFO, you're way off base. I didn't say he should not keep eating the peanut butter, I mearly suggested that he supplement with Casein. I'm not the only one who does it. Like I said, get your shit straight and come back with some insight next time.

oh I'M way off base? i have my "shit" straight. what i said is that there already is casein protein in peanut butter and plenty enough for him. secondly i never said you are an idiot for taking casein or that you are the only one who takes it.
peanut butter is fine before bed.
you gtfo

offishal::
if you lift, remember you are not trying to gain muscle..you are trying to lose weight (you can do both but its pretty hard and most people get discouraged and quit)
so keep it high # of reps and lower the weight.
cardio! cardio! cardio!
also eat a lot of small meals a day (6+) to keep your metabolism up and kickin!

I gave the dude a suggestion, I didn't try to force feed it down his throat. It was his choice to take the advice or not. And are you sure that natural peanut butter would use Casein as a binding agent? Especially, when the ingredients usually read: Peanuts. If it's not added by the manufaturer then it won't be present. I hope your not saying that all peanut buter contains Casein. If you are, then you may want to check and see where it comes from.

Between your snack and post work out I'd add another meal, preferable whole food, about an hour to an hour and a half before your work out. You could always just split up your post work out shake and consume one serving 30 min. before your work out, and the other after. I'd also avoid starchy carbs in the late afternoon/evenings and you may want to replace some of your carbs sources with vegetables (salad with your tuna). I'd also, replace the protein bar, it is decent, but it has a lot of unnecessary refined sugar. If you want something sweet, go with some fruit, nuts or nut butter, and some non fat greek yogurt: it's good mid morning snack, slow digesting protein and carbs and quality fats. Also, are you doing cardio after your weight training?

I would do something lighter than hiit on your weight training days, like 30-40 min low to moderate intensity on the eliptical, treadmill, bike, etc after weight training. I'd still incorporate the hiit on non weight training days though.

Eating 5-6 meals is one of the most effective ways to keep your metabolism high, you'll probably want to find a way. Look into a pre-packaged meal replacement or powdered protein blend that you can take in between your normal meals. When I cut, I keep the reps between 10-15, unless I'm pyramiding, then I may start off with a lighter sets at higher reps, but progressively end with a heavier set at a lower rep range 6-8.

there are numerous protein powders to chose from..
i would suggest on's 100% whey
you really dont need supplements if you are eating 3 meals a day.. what you need to do is have a well balanced diet that consists of 6 small meals a day and you'll be fine.
exchanging 1 or 2 of those meals with protein shake is ok..but remember why its called a SUPPLEMENT..

Casein presleep would be a great addition, and would also get you closer to 6 meals a day. I highly recommend supplementing with fish oil as well. Those things being said, your diet and training are going to have the biggest impact on your results. Keep your cardio going and keep hitting the weights and you'll get the results you want. And seriously, find a way to get more meals in.

Thanks in advance.

....I know most ppl won't believe me but working out burns 6-10 more fat effectively than aerobic exercises. [For the ppl that do not believe me, the research is in the New England Journal of Medicine]

lol..I don't read those health mags for advice. Anyways, those mags are bullshit because they can sometimes take some shit out of context from research and act like it's the new best thing. Also, bodybuilders/power lifters in those mags get paid money to "say" that they do those workout plans but in real life they don't do what is close to those workout programs you see in those mags because these ppl are elite athletes and they will NEVER share their workout programs from THEIR fellow competitors.

Salad?

Just use a smaller portion of mayo, like an even table spoon. If those calories really matter then yes subsitute mustard for mayo.

Just checked my fridge and 1 table spoon of mayo = 100 calories, 1 tea spoon of mustard = 10 calories.

Grind the oats on low in the blender... this will loosen them up and make them actually blend, rather than sit at the bottom of your shake. No need to cook it.

to be honest i think supplements and nutrition is completely depending on your body, and how active you are, im 21, 5'9 160-165, i eat cereal in the morning, eat about 3 lean pockets a day since im in the office from 6-5pm, banana and apple in between, take superpump250 before workout, lifting for about an hour, cereal with whey protein after, im staying at a strong between 9-10% body fat, and when it comes closer to summer i start doing some cardio again, bout 15-30mins a day, jump rope, or running, and ill usually drop down to about 6-7% body fat, on the weekends i usually eat whatever i want, most of the time its fast food, and heavy drinking, usually light beer, and im in great shape.

Great genetics man. I'm sure you work your ass off, just a lot of us aren't as fortunate with our metabolism and genetics.

hey guys, I hurt my back awile ago so I've been out of the gym for about 2 months. In those two months I gained abit of unwanted body fat and I lost some muscle mass, I was wondering what is a good diet to get rid of unwanted body fat (I'm working out now, so that should be factored in)?

thanks
