^I'll write down those items when I go grocery shopping next. I can't really spend 600 a month on groceries, cuz I'm on a tight budget but we'll see what I can spare.

I heard oatmeal is part of a great breakfast. My sisters bf is on the swat team and is fuggin HUGE and is at the gym basically every day, has been for like 12 years. He said he'd write me up a lifting plan if I needed him too. I'm going to start eating right soon, to prepare for the academy.


Also why are some of you saying lowfat or 2% milk? I drink whole all the time, doesn't it have more calories which is a good thing for me?

A tip I got from some guys, was that even if you don't want the fat from it, milk and ice cream are great for adding bulk.. The key is also having a serious amount of fiber in your diet, to coincide with the excess protein intake.. Fiber helps your body break down the protein into BCAA and Amino acids faster, and more efficiently..


Oatmeal is one of the best carbs you could ever put in your body.. I know guys who mix their protein right in with it, to make it suck less (not a big fan of plain oatmeal). You could also use milk instead of water when making oatmeal..

Oh, and I'd use Low fat milk instead of skim any day.. There's more protein, and there's also a good amount of mono-unsaturated fats (the good kind), so it's a win-win.. Skim is completely void of any good mono-unsaturated fats, as well as having to be re-fortified with vitamins.. If you do good cardio (which you really should be, if you're going to an Academy), then fat in your diet is not going to hurt you as much..

You don't understand, I don't really care about ingesting lots of fat or calories. It doesn't affect me at all, trust me on this one. So why would 2% or skim milk be better than whole milk in my case?

[GodAmGT00]

I was saying to drink the heavier weight milk, but if you wanted to be conscience of fat intake, which is a good idea anyway, to use the lowfat or 2% over whole.. Personally, I could give a f-ck about what kind of milk I drink since I love the stuff, but some people want to have a cleaner, tighter physique, or extremely low body fat..

Ummya, been drinking whole milk since the day I came out of my mammas uterus, and my body fat index is prolly lowest on this whole forum.

Except for WV, that kid is just freakishly skinny.

Ideally, cardio and aerobic exercises should be performed at least 3 times a week, at no less than 20 minutes per session.. The older you get, the quicker it takes for your metabolic rate to drop like a rock, so maintaining vigilance in this area will greatly increase your ability to eat foods that aren't healthy the older you get.. At your current age, (guessing 20-23 y/o), your metabolism is through the roof still.. That's why it's tough to gain any mass.. You've really got to eat the hell out of some food, AND take protein supplements.. I'm talking about having a 5000 calorie day, everyday, which isn't all that hard, especially if you get those MASS Shakes instead of just plain ole protein.. You can get a decent 5lb tub for about $45, which should last you about a month..


But always keep in mind that the slower and steadier that you lift and work out, the more resilient the muscle mass that is produced. Quick gains, usually go away quickly if you happen to stop working out, or maintaining protein/conditioning..

Fat intake does not correlate to body fat gain. I add alot of olive oil to my diet just to get my fat intake above average. Usually 4 tablespoons a day (not the kind you eat with, the big spoons, like for serving mashed potatos during thanksgiving).

Oatmeal is one of the best carbs you could ever put in your body.. I know guys who mix their protein right in with it, to make it suck less (not a big fan of plain oatmeal). You could also use milk instead of water when making oatmeal..

Put 1/2 cup plain oats, 1/2 cup milk, and a chopped up large banana in a cup and eat it. No cooking, no sugar, it's good. You can wait a few minutes to soften the oatmeal up if you like, but it doesnt really matter to me.
