    Food is not simple. This argument you started proves that. If I searched and found the OP's previous posts I would have approached this in a completely different way. My mistake. Sorry. University teaches what is currently known and the most up to date scientific studies (that are reliable)...

    Sorry champ. Had the wrong figures in front of me earlier. Total fat is approximately 70% of total KJ. Approxiamtely 20% of which is from saturated fat. Let me just say a high intake of saturated fat will not help you in any way health wise.

    You do realise this study was performed on people with metabolic syndrome...? Perhaps I should re-read the OP and see where it says that he is trying to lose weight? Wholemeal alternatives were suggested (obviously less processed) - maybe read again?

    Energy Levels

    All information I put forward comes from university studies in Exercise Science and Nutrition. "Potatoes ,pasta foods that turn quickly to sugar turn on markers for inflammation and insulin resistance." These contain polysaccharides (starch - complex carbs). Hence the slow digestion and...

    I'm not here to argue. I'm just stating facts and giving OP a chance to decide as to what he wants to do. Clearly you know everything. I don't think you need to make personal attacks towards me for trying to help.

    Energy Levels

    As I said... You can get too much of a good thing. In extreme cases this is quite possible. Unlikely, yes. Although, possible. Good suggestions. Thanks n00bs. It would be a good idea to consume both legumes with grains as they compensate for each other with some nutrients. Eggs are quite...

    It would make sense to consume ENERGY DENSE foods as he is in need of energy. Not to mention the over consumption of fruit possibly leading to dental problems (in extreme cases), also yielding a monosaccharide (fructose) therefore low glycemic index and immediate energy use as opposed to...

    Different type of soreness

    Could possibly be an issue with a nerve (Neuralgia). If you are getting "pins and needles" or a "dead arm" it could be a pinched nerve. Might be wise to see a GP if the pain reuturns/continues.

    You need to increase your carbohydrate intake if this is a typical days food consumption. The most carbs is coming from breakfast, this is an important time to consume carbs, however you need the fuel throughout the day from carbs at other meals. You should include foods such rice and pasta of...

    multi vitamins

    Animal Pack is a much better multi-vitamin which has more than just vitamins. I use it and think its great. Although i only take 1 pack per day because i feel thats all that is needed unless you are doing some SERIOUS training or competing, therefore lasting for 44 days taking one pack per day...

    Hard gainer supplement

    I used Prolab's N-Large 2 for a few months and it worked really well. It might be a bit expensive though.. can't remember. You could have a look at it. Another that I found to work really well was Optimum Nutrition's GAINER. Although i didn't really like the taste of it (a bit too sweet - could...

    late night training.

    The only reason I personally don't like to train late in the afternoon/night is because I feel that i have more energy early in the day (anywhere from 12-3pm). I have also found not many people are at the gym during this time, obviously if you can't get in about those times.. if you feel that...

    No worries man. Stand with feet about shoulder width apart or slightly wider. Point your toes slightly outwards so there's not too much stress on your knees which could help to not lean backwards. Keep the barbell across the top of your shoulders not on the neck, you should find a comfortable...

    100% WPI? - "Over 50% of Bio Bulker is whey protein and Bio Bulker includes high levels of whey protein isolate for rapid absorption." Bio Bulker = 25g of WHEY protein per 60g serve. 15 serves per 900g. ON 100% Whey = 24g of WHEY protein per 32g serve. 31 serves per 943g. Also much...

    True.. Not sure about the latter part of sentence though. :p. If you just the basic equipment as The Hulk said - maybe u can con your parents in to helping to pay for the equipment (give them the whole - "But it's for my health!" Line. Might work). Then place it in a spare room or a closed of...

    Struggling.

    Well, i basically agreed with the ON Whey because I know it works and when you put in to consideration the SERVING SIZE for ON Whey as opposed to any weight gainer. The weight gainer is generally larger serves with quite a lot of sugar and won't last as long. Possibly even a small tub of ON Whey...

    what do these do???

    I would lay off the test boosters, especially for only training for a year. To answer your question - NATURAL test boosters will increase your testosterone naturally obviously and does help to increase energy strength and recovery. Creatine is a great product for strength and recovery. It is...

    Take this advice The Big Dell. That's exactly what I do and it works amazingly! :). Obviously the only way to gain weight is to consume more calories than you expel. If you have a fast metabolism DON'T be afraid to consume a bit more fat. Fat is a high energy source (9 calories per gram as...
