lean meats. chicken beef buffalo turkey fish etc. complex carbs like brown rice potato's flax . drink milk at night. protein shakes after your workouts. heavy carb meals for breakfast. try to eat a 600 calorie meal every 3 hours.
your telling him to increase his cals by 1000 or so right from the "get go"? you could do that, might put on a bit of fat though. this whole situation is goofy. Joe your putting the cart before the horse here. your diet and knowledge of what your taking is......well, not good. i do like the fact that you did not show up saying "well i right in the middle of my M-drol cycle and i got me one of those questions"....my point is this, simply, start with diet and training to maximize the results of the supplements. beside food is the better and more beneficial than any PS/PH will ever be. my advise is to start with those 2 things. whether you stop your cycle now or finish it doesn't matter, you will probably not get anything out of it other than the experience of making a small mistake and blowing 30 or 40 bucks....no big deal. i hope i did not come off as "all knowledgeable" or "better than", because I'm not, i have done what you are doing to some extent,and someone came along and advised me just like I'm trying to do here.
