    Gaining muscle while staying lean

    If you're already fat, it's possible to gain muscle and even loose fat. If you're not fat at all, it will be hard to gain muscles only. this cycle, I was trying not to gain too much fat. Result : small gains. But I'm still satisfied. I added maybe 2-3lbs of muscles and a bit of fat. Now that I...

    egg yolks

    Eating eggs everyday is not a problem. Just be aware that they're relatively fat, and that they add up to the other fat you're consuming.

    flax oil or fish oil

    however "perfectly balanced" an oil might be, needs in omega 3 and omega 6 depends on the whole diet, genetics, etc., and so, hemp might be perfect for one, but not for another. I agree though, that hemp might be better than flaxseed. But hemp is a vegetable, and contains ALA (no DHA...

    flax oil or fish oil

    There are three sources of omega 3 fatty acids: Alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). I'd go for for EPA and DHA (found in great quantity in fat fishes like salmon, herring, sardines, trout, mackerel, halibut, and some meat), not ALA (for which...

    Cutting Diet

    Blade is right (of course... ;) ). But you have to put what Mindwraith. is saying in context : it's basically a strategy for dieting, not for bulking. It's also a strategy to avoid counting calories. You eat often (so you don't feel too hungry even if your way below maintenance), and you...

    Cutting Diet

    Ooooops. Mindwraith made it before me. And I agree with pretty much everything you said Mindw. Yes 0.6g/pound of BW is actually not bad at all. My protein powder bucket lasts longer...

    Cutting Diet

    It's not a false impression. Yes : protein intake (according to Bryan and others) is usually considered important while you diet. The usual recommendation is to take at least 1 gram per pound of bodyweight. Not that Mindwraith is wrong. Or is he? ;) The truth is that you can play around the...

    Protein intake during SD

    Who told you that? :confused: Who's erveryone? and also : one should always double check info by reading a couple articles backed up with a sufficient quantity of studies. Really. Or, at the very least, make sure that the advices come from a reliable source. Like me, for instance. Just...

    Macronutrient Partitioning

    Glad I've been able to be helpful. I just took a look at the FAQs and, believe it or not, it's there... The search tool is not always working well. I've had similar issues in the past. I sent a message to Bryan, I don't know if he did something about it... Anyway, the link to Gaining muscle...

    Macronutrient Partitioning

    "Anyway, my point is this, Take your protein without (or with less) carbs immediately after you workout. This will allow more amino acids to skirt past your enterocytes and liver and make it into the blood stream where they are taken up by skeletal muscle. Then take your carbs one hour...

    Protein intake during SD

    and I'd add that there is little reason to eat more than a gram of prot. per pound EVEN during training. MAYBE (but I don,t know any conclusive study about that) A BIT more (like 1.1g/pound) on the days you train... but even that is probably not necessary. 0.8g/pound is actually the official...

    Important issue about protein

    Hi dkm! Well, it's 0.8-1g/**lb of total BW**. The **exact** reason for that... Probably because it's simpler and accurate enough... Finding the **exact amount** needed would be complicated and, in fact, impossible, as it changes a bit all the time, depending on caloric intake, metabolism...

    Cutting Diet

    Yes. Use the numbers you already know. For cutting, I use my maintenance value (which is about 13-14xBW). For bulking I use 17-18xBW. It depends on your metabolism, you fat%, etc. It's important to keep your proteins at 1 g/lb BW when you're dieting. (And leave your HST program as it is. Add...

    Important issue about protein

    To my knowledge,the same applies to EFAs : you don't need more as your calories go up. You might need more antioxidants though, but that's another story... By the way, try to get your extra calories from Carbs and not from Fat (as you probably already know).
