    Quick Bulking Meals?

    I agree with jaja...why would you want garbage fat. I also don't get too high bodyfat wise offseason, an rarely eat junky stuff like salami...also just my opinion, I just don't see any advantage

    myfitnesspal

    Personally I disliked fitnesspal...couldn't stand the setup of it. I'm using mynetdiary right now for iPhone, and it's decent. Has a good layout with all macros and remembers all your previous food entries for quick entries later. Calorie counter by fatsecret for android was great as well...

    natural body building questions!

    Decide on a show and bulk until you get around 16-20 weeks out since you're at 14%. Then start dieting eating a caloric amount so you are losing about a lb to 1.5 lbs a week. This is all very general lol but just trying to give you an idea

    Natural Fat Loss Supplements?

    It's not a drug according to natural orgs since you can use it as much as you want and it's a natural substance. Its a natural stimulant...We're talkin bodybuilding not about its minor side effects :) anything if overused can cause problems

    Natural Fat Loss Supplements?

    Caffeine is not a drug...ephedrine is banned from natural comps usually. Natural means substances that are found organically, such as creatine, amino acids, etc. no anabolics, no prohormones, no chemical test boosters etc

    string cheese when leaning out... good idea?
