Trying to formulate....
(howsit going bros
I signed up a few months ago but just been lurking, trying aborb some info before posting any stupid questions like i did back at bb.com
hopefully this aint such a lame question..lol)
Ok ive been using nlarge2 eversince i learned you should drink protein to help build muscle cuz i didn't know any better..
So from what i've read so far, malto sucks ("n-fat2") and i should just add some ground oatmeal to a protein blend. (Is rice an ok substitute?)
I'm trying to gain weight (about 5'8" 165lbs about 6% bf last time i had it checked at the gym) and would like to customize a weight gainer. id rather just have one formula i can take throughout the day (even after postworkout) but you wouldn't recommend that right..?
well to gain weight, the basic guideline is to eat as much as possible(.."eat like a starving somalian refugee"), as clean as possible right?
but when i drink a serving of nlarge2 between meals, it gives me indigestion and gas and i have trouble eating my next meal.
Is this because of the high carb(sugar) content or the protein?
Should i drink less protein at a time? or maybe i have trouble digesting large amounts of milk products? (I live in Korea, where there isn't much dairy consumption so i may not have a lot of lactase or something..)
also should i increase the % of quick digesting proteins (like whey or hydro whey) so i can have these shakes more often?
well, the following is what i thought would be a good blend:
45% CFM whey
20% milk isolate
20% egg
10% soy
5% dextrose (to help with post wo recovery..?)
(added soy cuz i thought a higher % of milk isolate would make the shake too thick)
Any input would be appreciated and i'm still trying to learn so please don't flame me too harsh
sorry about the long post . thanks
