Supplements the debate/discussion thread

Seriously, capsules will be a waste of time, you'll end up having to take 20 at a time or something silly like that

Just use shakes, rinse it out properly after each one and you'll be fine

Protein bars as suggested would be ok, but so much more expensive

The supplement shelf is looking healthy

Deception · 12 Dec 2011 at 14:56

Damn, and I thought my 'supplement' cupboard was full!

Skillmister · 12 Dec 2011 at 15:10

Hah nice. I should have something like that going on after xmas although most of mine will be for pre workout stuff

LiE · 12 Dec 2011 at 15:13

The only pre-workout stuff I need is in the controlled labs tubs

Skillmister · 12 Dec 2011 at 15:22

Ordered from MP last Monday (next day delivery), no sign. Logged a ticket Fri morning, still no response today. Not impressed.

I have a rough idea for a diet plan something that I have never really taken to seriously but I will now.

Breakfast
-Three Seven Seas Joint Care Capsules
-Small bowl of Ready Brek
-Glass of fruit juice with MP Creatine Gluconate, MP Glutamine.

Lunch
-50g of whole grain pasta with a green salad, with either one large chicken breast or tin of tuna in oil.
-Low fat yoghurt and an apple.

Dinner
-Mixed vegtables with 125g of chicken, with 50g of whole grain rice.

I know it needs work and I'll alter it for different days, but my main focus here is a healthy balanced diet not a bulk/clean bulk.

advise welcome please?

Doesn't look like enough protein (or calories, really), maybe add some at breakfast? I'd also be far more concerned with what's in the low fat yoghurt than trying to avoid the small amount of fat in a regular one.

Low fat and low calorie does not mean healthy.

^TANK^ · 12 Dec 2011 at 19:54

I'm aiming for more endurance and strength than size, the yoghurt is the brand Shape one of the low fat ones.

Looks really healthy

+ protein (protein shake) at breakfast is the only suggestion but if you ain't working out I wouldn't bother
+ 3 litres of water a day

Just remember fresh is better than frozen, food beats supplements ( if you got the time)

That doesn't mean you want low fat anything in your diet. Fats are not bad for you.

Strength training doesn't mean you need less protein, but it does mean you should squat outside of a smith :eek:

I would be using a smith machine like this.
