I did think eggs alright - had a mini dream-sequence of tucking into a big bowl of scrambled eggs - then saw they weren't on the list so wondered what magical mystery food it might be.

I would find it very hard to consume that over only a couple of hours but that's partly due to other reasons. I would imagine it takes training to eat that much in a relatively short timeframe.

Could have sworn I put eggs in that list, even went back to double check

I have a huge appetite plus I've been starving myself close to 8 months now so I could probably give the guy from 'man v food' a run for his money

On diet v lifting

(IMO)

Those who fail at following a proper lifting regime or moving onto heavier weights can overcome this problem with motivation and increased aggression. Whether it's listening to your favourite song when you're about to deadlift, bench pressing when a 8.7/10 in yoga pants walks by or even watching youtube videos, I genuinely believe that anyone can improve their lifting progress exponentially with these external factors

Now when I look at diet it's 100% internal and very few people can adhere to a strict clean diet for a period long enough to see progress. It's hard to get motivated looking at a plain dry chicken breast and bland oatmeal made with water everyday. Personally I love it but you can't watch youtube videos to psyche yourself up. No one can really help you because you're either going to follow a strict diet or you won't. With lifting you can get half reps or negative reps but with diet there's no equivalent progression ladder to base on. Either follow it or don't, end of.

Where are you finding eggs for 8c each?

imurdaddy · 24-10-2014 08:14PM

I used your recipe for protein bars yesterday, came out well very tasty and a dam site more economical than buying bars!

Tesco

I know this is in sterling currency but you can get them over here for around the same. The branch beside me always have discounts in the egg section

Also check your local butcher for eggs, you'd be surprised by the value

Glad you liked them. The chocolate milk is a key component. I made a bunch of them replacing choc milk with water and it just wasn't the same. I'm still experimenting with other ingredients to find the tastiest combination

Anyone have much to say with regards conditioning? What works for ye? Any tips/advice? Thanks.

Remmy · 24-10-2014 09:15PM

sorry if already mentioned but what time of day do you work out? Do you keep up the same amount of training days a week if life gets busy?

Diet is important but you need to train hard too or you'll just get fat.

I see guys in the gym caning protein shakes and amino acid tablets and all the rest of it while thier workout consists of endless dumbell curls with light dumbells and behind the neck pulldowns on the lat machine with them leaning back almost to the floor.

If you dont stress your muscles with good lifting technique and increase the weight as you get stronger nothing will happen.

Funny I never see my nutrition or diet as being 'strict' at all.

I never eat wheat, rarely touch sugar, train often (plenty of CrossFit, steady state cardio, structured main lifts) = abs for 20yrs

Genetics trumps all of course but I'm assuming we are talking about the average Joe here

Did i see somewhere here people saying something about a recipe for protein bars??? throw it this way please

Just ran out of my stock of quest bars and cash low

Agree. When you train hard and are in good shape, you can get away with a lot of ****.

Both of you have jobs that I would guess involve greater daily caloric expenditure and kind of higher protein synthesis than most other people, probably not accounting for that as much as you think. Basically, yes, it's one of the ways to skin a cat.
I find training 'hard' easily becomes defined BY diet for example. If I eat enough of the right things I can nearly automatically push my numbers up; knock out 'intense' sessions and still feel the same RPE as normal, just by turning up.
Eat the wrong things and the same RPE or intensity sees me performing less. Obvious stuff but... Diet influences performance and workrate more than the reverse.

What's on the menu today?

The only thing I like more than chubby girl porn is food porn :pac:

300g cottage cheese (i know but trust me on this)
4 table spoons of peanut butter
4 squares of dark chocolate
1 banana
1 pear
150g oats
250ml chocolate milk

And then a few drops of vanilla extract

Mix all that in a bowl then lay it out on a tray in blocks of 6, stick it in the oven and voilà

And to address your other question my advice for someone with your stats would be to build a foundation through compound lifts and eating a lot of clean foods. Cut out the machines. If you struggle with adhering to the diet it's your mind getting bored of it so experiment with your meal choice, add new flavours like lemon juice on chicken or Worcester sauce on steak

After a while of doing this then you can get into workouts where you focus more on isolation exercises and implementing a carb cycle.

Jesus.. just scrolled through every single page of this thread and read every post, just so I could get the recipe for these protein bars. There are some serious dickheads out there, I wonder if they were not protected by an anonymous username would they be willing to spout the nonsense and hate filled comments, I very much doubt it! Fairplay Roman God for being so dedicated and achieving such great results, its not easy I know! Its upto yourself if you want to post up progress pics, nobody should judge or post negatively because of it, its not for me personally but I wouldnt diss you for it no way!

Re the protein bar recipe, very unusual recipe, but absolutley full of nutrients, and good mix of carbs and protein.. Cottage cheese tho haha!?

140 eggs in a weekly shop? Did I read that right?

I hope so, because I'm constantly seeking reassurance that there is no upper limit to the number of eggs a person should eat!

Also, well done RomanGod, you're in cracking shape.

140 a week = 20 a day. just let that sink in there for a second

Why are you scared of fat?

Eggs, despite having a load of cholesterol in them, have it in such a ratio of hdl:ldl that it's not bad for you. I've never eaten 20 in a day, but I've gone through periods of eating 5 or 6 a day for months. Probably the single best food you can eat IMO.

agreed. I couldnt ever eat 20 a day no way haha!! often ate 5/6 per day too, and even when not training id have 3/4 poached/boiled eggs . One of the best foods on the planet

I'm not?

I'd rather not have 100g of fat used on eggs alone.

RomanGod · 26-10-2014 03:52PM

Should have clarified that I remove most of the yolks when cooking. I leave one yolk for every 5 eggs for flavour. I'm mostly eating egg whites which is just protein. I could not eat 20 whole eggs a day
