Yeah I don't want to seem like I'm splitting hairs, but it's good to know. After all, 20 calories plus 30 from fish oil is 50. 50 Calories may not sound like a big number, but it can be for some of us lightweights...

Hi guys, I don't see the amount of calories in creatine I bought from HSN or EAS. Perhaps it is so little it doesn't matter, but if anyone knows I'd really appreciate the information...

Would cranberry juice help at all? Or is that more of a preventative measure?

Yeah I just started creatine too... But I've heard what Insane_Man has - effects happen usually no sooner then a week. If you don't load (like me) it can take a month or more. Is it possible that your cutting cycle just needs to be readjusted for your new maintenance calories??

Excellent advice stevie. I have a friend who has an obese mother. She regularly loves to indulge in Ben and Jerry's ice cream. Upon further inspection, a single pint (serviing in this case) was +/- 2000 calories! That's well below what should even be consumed in a single day...

Yes as you see in the official HST article (you *did* read it right?) you want protein before and after working out. Protien before should be something like Whey Protein which is commonly used in protein supplements. Creatine is a natural substance (actualy can be found in beef - but in small...

Yes, you want the true whole wheat that contains all the parts from the wheat head. Foods labled 100% Whole Wheat are what you are looking for....

Using "optional formula 2" her maintenance calories would be at 2592 kcal I don't know if I would do a 1000 calorie deficit. If you do to much you can kick your body into a starvation mode... I'd say do a 500 calorie deficit below maintenance and remember to recalculate when weight...

Buy a dehydrator and make ur own beef jerky from lean cuts =) (Slow digesting protein w/a small dose of creatine included)

Mad Cow Disease - I wasn't being serious...

When I used to eat 3 meals a day I'd use water to keep from getting hungry and it worked quite well with me. It's just that I'd usually end up drinking LOTS of water, which isn't bad, but can cause lots of trips to the bathroom. Now that I'm eating 5-6 meals a day I dont' have issues w/hunger...

I'd hardly say I'm an "experienced lifter", but I think I've tried the stuff you're talking about... Are you talking about the Hood milk that comes in the green carton? Yeah, that's good stuff - tasty and plenty of protein! I used it on my cutting cycle since it actually has 4...

Are Smarties really all that good? I've actually used them for post carbs but I wasn't sure if it was all that good downing like 8+ rolls in one sitting. As fun as it is, I'd like to make sure I'm not cheating myself... Probably decaying the teeth pretty quick too? Didn't Bryan say something...

Given the choice to take primer after WO or before bed, which should it be? Usually I eat w/in an hour or two from my WO, but I'd be interested to know the optimal time here.... I seem to recall Bryan saying it was good before bed too since you don't eat while you sleep (unless you have a problem).

I'm a bit uneducated about the ephredine/caffine mix since I've never really been into to many supps.... All I know is that it's used as a fat burning supplement and it (ephredine) was banned here in the US. Correct? Insane_man, does it actually help your work outs too? I guess the stimulant...

Why don't you post your "dumb" questiosn and their answers? =) Others may have similar questions and it could be helpful!

I've gathered that 15% should be your max BF before bulk, 12% is recommended and 10% is ideal... But like Viper said, it really is a personal choice. You have to decide what looks acceptable and keep in mind you will most likely add fat on a bulk. I'm not going to start bulking until I at...

I was just going to request such a thing, but fortunately read your post right before. I haven't the slightest idea where to start with strength training. Therefore, I would like to request that this strength HOWTO will start from the very basics. It sounds that some of you have had at least...

Collect the stamps then =P Wow, I guess I didn't realize this about subway... I've always enjoyed their food...

Yet another desk jockey here... 148@14% - Of course I am trying to cut... Arbitro has stated the unfortunate truth that you may need to find what works best... What formula did you use to find your maintenance calories and how did you find it? How many calories did you add to this? 500? 600...
