Eating for gains

[mikeloi]

I am back on my PE journey. I noticed that I eat more food when doing PE. I might eat 5-6 times per day versus 3 times per day. This is very costly. I eat a couple hundred dollars of sandwich meat a month. Does anyone else notice this? I believe that if you do not get enough protein you will not gain.

This actually has been widely documented worldwide. It's not proteins that you're worrying about. It's actually essential bioavailable components. We can break things down from novels of publications and reports. But critical areas to cover during PE for gains from bioavailable materials in your system compose of:

• Amino acids: without them, cellular development cannot take advantage of growth.
• Available proteins in useable forms: this is not about eating tons of foods in forms of proteins. Your body needs to digest the ingested proteins to forms of available proteins for usages inside the blood stream. You can eat an entire chicken, but your body may only has the capacity to convert 10% of the chicken into the form of proteins it needs to be available.
• Essential nutrients in forms of usable vitamins, antioxidants, micro-nutrients, macro-nutrients, and and catalysts. If your body is lacking essential nutrients, your body will gouge everything in your system to obtain them. This means shutting down essential functions and robbing the materials from other body parts, such as your bones.

So, eating too much meats is not good for you. Eating like a rabbit or cow is not good for you. It's about a balanced dietary approach. What your body is craving can be supplemented with supplements. A great example is our brother @Haursen post on his Routine and Progress (https://mattersofsize.com/threads/haursens-comeback.1831460/page-28#post-1974421). I also posted mine nutritional testings for discussion in the past as well. Many brothers chimed in about their own testing methods as well. Remember, proteins is merely a portion of the entire picture.

Do a search, and you'll see a massive on "supplements", "proteins", "collagen", and "diets".

Excellent post!

I suck down 40g of whey per day to meet those amino acid / protein requirements while keeping my calorie intake down. I just put it in my coffee; that's basically how I've been doing it so far.

Yep. I use whey proteins too with my coffee, on top of the Laird coconut powder to stimulate testosterone and health benefits. A bit pricey for a creamer, but goes great together with the whey protein rather than dealing with phytoestrogenic creamers full of soy, corn, and craps that kill your manhood.

I need to learn more about diet. Most I see i could never afford with economy where it is. I actually only eat once a day and I know that is not healthy. We need a diet that everyone can afford.

Life is a tough road at times. It doesn't need to be three meals a day as long as the single meal is healthy and balanced. Where I am, fresh fruits and veggies cost more than processed foods, while we have the largest growing arena in the nation. I still don't get the concept of the costs as we exported the foods more than selling. I look around for farmer's market to buy the imperfect looking crops, and yet, they are the healthiest, at a fraction of the prices. I still live on a poor man's habit. My whole family got dragged into the same mentally since I first met my wife. Healthy and cost less.

Thank you. I will try a healthier diet that fits my budget, which is pathetic
