I basically wanted more carbs than protein. The kashi granola bars have been a success. Weight has continued to come off and the bars provide enough energy for my workouts.
Yeah I was just wanting something with some extra carbs and that was light especially since I am only eating about 1800-1900 calories a day. I hit up a protein shake immediately after I workout and another one before bed (casein)
Yeah I agree their cereal are great. The kashi bars are great b/c they do provide some carbs without all the sugar and they do not sit heavy on your stomach so I can eat them about 30-45 min prior to working out. They are also around 60 cents each which is way cheaper than most 'energy bars'
Thanks for reps. Definitely not dehydrated by the way. I try to hit a gallon a day and only drink water and occasionally a glass of soy or almond milk. I know they say too much soy lowers test levels but I probably only drink 1/2 gallon a week at the most.
Yeah I think I am losing a little muscle mass as well. My strength has gone up 0 since I started Jan 9th but I have dropped 16 pounds. Hoping to drop 10-12 more then increase calories to maintenance and starting putting some muscle on. Ultimately I would like to stay under 195 pounds - currently...
I actually just went and picked up some Kashi Chewy granola bars. I am really looking for a higher carb bar as I will be eating it prior to going to the gym. The Kashi bars have very little sugar (5 g) about 20 g of whole grain carbs and about 8 grams of protein. They also do not use any...
I posted in a previous thread that I was looking for something quick and easy on the stomach to eat preworkout (my protein shakes were making me sick). I got some good ideas from some of you guys but then I thought what about an energy bar. I am currently in cutting mode and I would rather not...
I found out today I have some kind of viral infection. I have been drained all week. It seems like when we starting cutting something always pops up. I think the heavy lifting and calorie deficit really puts a strain on our immune systems leaving us vulnerable to colds, viruses, infections, etc...
There is nothing wrong with eating the entire egg as most of the time I do but while on a cut I need to lower all the saturated fat in my diet and an easy way to do that is to eat only the whites. I buy 100% egg whites and just use those plus I add a whole egg or two into the mix. I would never...
I will have to give them a try. I use to do shakes similar to this all the time. I don't mind fixing the eggs and toast but I will probably alternate in some shakes to keep from getting burnt out. The biggest issue for me is still pre-workout nutrition.
Crap I just replied but it did not go through. Anyways I was saying it has to be something I can just grab and eat quickly as I am at work and sometimes that is in the office and other times its in the field or on the road. My wife and I have always eaten clean. I eat fish a few times a week. I...
Yeah the problem is I am at work so it has to be something I can just grab and down quickly. If it wasn't for all the extra fat calories I would go with some almond butter or natural peanut butter on toast with jelly. Might could get by with it anyways. I eat fish 1-2x weekly usually tilapia or...
Yeah I am already doing eggs and chicken every day but I like the jam and rye bread idea for some simple and complex carbs. I just need to figure out a tasty protein source not named eggs or chicken.
Yeah I may be able to just eat a little something that is high in protein. The whole problem is I am trying to hit 250 grams of protein, still be able to take my pre-workout shake and stay around 1800-2000 calories.
What are some ideas for a small preworkout meal that will provide a decent amt...
Dymatize ISO-100 Hydrolyzed Whey - taste like crap btw. I was using MusclePharm Combat Power which is a blended protein and tasted amazing.However, I never took it and the C4 together so I do not know if the effect (nausea) would be the same.
**PLEASE READ THIS BEFORE ANYONE ELSE RESPONDS**
Current weight is 213. I forgot a key piece of information. I am using cellucor C4 extreme as my preworkout energy. So the problem is I am unable to drink a protein shake (10:00 am) and use my preworkout shake (taken about 10:45) without getting...
