I also know that i need to eat 5 or 6 smaller meals during the day but i don't know what type of food i should be eating for breakfast, as a snack, lunch, or dinner. I am having a trouble with what type of food i should eat and how much a day so thank you for your help.

  1. Protein shakes. Anything protein will help though, eggs, meats ect.
  2. uhhmmmm,,, protien shakes and protien bars... i have abs myself
  3. Muscle Milk seriously rocks.
  4. Just eat healthily and regulaly and excercise. Remember if you do 'bulk up' you have to continue to train for the rest of your life otherwise muscle turns to fat and your worse off thasn when you started. You can buy those suppliments powders which are supposed to work but I personally would not recommend them.
  5. PROTEIN!!!!!
  6. eggs (:
  7. Go to your local library and check out the abs diet. It help a lot. Yes you need to eat protein and fiber. For breakfast try eggs turkey bacon omelet. or oat meal (not the prepackage kind to much sugar) snack are easy piece of fruit. Hard boiled egg. or a Protein shake(it can be kind of expensive) also cottage cheese. Also try eating black beans, tuna, turkey, almond, etc. Good luck

  9. I'm currently in a body-building eating cycle right now. Here is about what I currently do. Works wonders, you can make your own variant. Make sure to drink plenty of water though. Especially when you first wake up. Breakfest : Oats or Eggs and Fruit ---snack : Fruit or nuts Lunch : PB&J, Lunchmeat Sandwich, Tuna Sandwich + Protien Shake --snack : Nuts, etc. workout : Protien Shake -or- Creatine based (I use No-Xplode, or Celucor M5) I usually lift weights before dinner, and right after you lift you should usually eat a high carb meal, or atleast 4:1 carb/protien ration dinner. Dinner : A typical Meal, Salads, Eggs and toast, Sandwiches or whatever. I leave alot of space for dinner incase I eat with someone whos not a health nut. As long as you get a few good meals in a day you should be on track. Snack on nuts and fruit, don't eat much sugar and you should be good.

  12. Hey Juan S, good question since dieting and watching what you intake is a very essential key to working out and body building. Couple of the recommended food: - Eat plenty of: 1. Egg Whites - 84% Protein - 8% Carb 2. Chicken Breast - 48% Protein - 0 Carb 3. Turkey - 73% Protein - 0 Carb 4. Salmon - 69% Protein - 0 Carb 5. Tuna - 88% Protein - 0 Carb 6. Trout - 56% Protein - 0 Carb 7. Kidney Beans - 58% Protein - 57% Carb 8. Lima Beans - 24% Protein - 71% Carb And also eat plenty of fruit and vegetables, whole grains, beans, nuts and seeds; and some lean meats. - Limit intake of saturated fat, cholesterol, salt, alcohol and an excess of added sugars and sugary foods - Main key is to drink plenty of water. For being 16 I'm going to guess a weight of around 140-200. For 140 pounds - 92 oz. per day For 170 pounds - 112 oz. per day For 200 pounds - 132 oz. per day - For your protein intake per day: For 140 pounds - 140 - 168 grams For 170 pounds - 170 - 204 grams For 200 pounds - 200 - 240 grams If you need to increase your intake of protein I personally recommend American Whey Protein. http://www.i-supplements.com/amwhey10.html It has an awesome taste. You can check out other body building supplements if ya want at http://www.i-supplements.com/bosu.html And I personally recommend to get about 5-6 small meals throughout the day to start-up on bulking up. I wish ya the best of luck! Richard
