Look, like I said before—I'd rather take an extra couple grams of fat than let my body eat the muscle I've worked so hard to build. Anything is better than nothing. 🙂

Sometimes I'll just grab a candy bar while I'm sitting in class to have something to snack on—honestly, it feels better than eating chips or junk food.

Too true.

And thanks to analogmarlin41 for the spot-on answer.

👍

Don't mention it. Anytime. 🙂

Keith Watson10 said:So, if I'm out of whey, can I just eat those chocolate bars instead?

Honestly, after a workout, you're better off grabbing a candy bar than eating nothing at all—anything to keep your body from hitting that exhausted, catabolic state.

How long does it take to break down—roughly? Is it fast or slow?

I can't remember the exact formula—probably some soy and dairy blend—but honestly, it doesn't even matter. Regardless of the protein type or the carb count, don't overlook the fat content in those bars. Fat slows down digestion, which means those essential macros aren't hitting your bloodstream when you actually need them. Plus, eating fats right after a workout while your insulin is spiked is a recipe for disaster—it basically tells your body to stash that fat straight into your cells. The carbs go toward glycogen, sure, but the fat just ends up stored. Not exactly what anyone's looking for.

Would pouring glucose over them speed up absorption into the bloodstream?

Doesn't matter. Just stick to mixing glucose and Whey protein—it’s a proven formula for hitting that anabolic sweet spot without packing on extra fat.

Yeah. Only problem is—I'm starving right after, like I didn't even eat anything at all.

And don't forget to actually eat plenty of real food. 😉

If this Mass stuff doesn't work, I'm moving on to something else...

Who cares about weight if you're just packing on fat? Using Mass is a one-way ticket to getting soft.

Look, stay away from Mass and cut out the sugar. There’s barely any protein in that junk. How exactly do you plan on building muscle if you aren't giving your body the actual building blocks it needs? My advice—take it or leave it—is to fix your diet first. If you actually struggle to eat enough calories, just grab a decent MRP instead, like this one or something similar.

For me, whey of choice is Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard Whey. Cheap, solid, and tastes good enough.

It's about $5 for a small bottle.

Back to the point—get some Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard Whey. It’s basically the same quality as Optimum Nutrition but cheaper, tastes great, and it's aspartame-free. www.prosport.net

6-7, same thing on the weekends....

Everything's just peachy. 🙂

I never skip breakfast—I wake up starving. Usually, it's just some granola and Greek yogurt with a bit of fruit, plus a 120 mg Vitamin C supplement. After that, I'm eating something small every three or four hours or so.

171/74. Not bad—especially since most of that weight is muscle anyway. 🙂

Yeah, I would. Clear enough for you?

Can I ask something? What's the deal with eggs and carrots? 🤔

Nancy Fowler61 said:I was just wondering how many potential Kravoubojics we have lurking in here. 😢 Just one more for the list.

Make it two.

Betty Rivera14 said:you're gonna drop a few hundred bucks just because the sun is blinding you while you're messing around in the ocean🙄

Doubt it'll only cost a couple hundred... you can get top-tier gear like Mares X-vision for that kind of money. I picked up some Maresov goggles for swimming last year, $17, and they do the job—no complaints there.

It’s a beautiful sight, really.

goldenbadger8 said:Actually, you can just spit on your diving mask to stop it from fogging up—then rinse it in the ocean. Not sure if that works for sunglasses, though....

Pretty sure it's the same deal with glasses.

rustyridge said:I don't swim in pools—it's the glare from the sun when I'm out in the ocean that really gets to me.

The sun is in your eyes? Isn't that literally why goggles exist—to keep the water out, not block the light. 🙂

Hollywood拳击俱乐部. 😬

b)...it's starting to ache again, just a little bit 😢
