how many oz of meat do you eat at each time? you should never just eat carbs. your body need protien every 3 hours and if you don't give it, then it will get from your muscles OUCH!!! and before work out drink protein shake and also after work outs. You should be eating at least 6 meals a day better if it was 8 meals.

Do you think that you are eating 150-300 grams a day of protien? That is what you need to be. On average how much size are you putting on in a week or a month? Is it muscle?

Fruit drinks are nothing but sugar. and as you get older it will be stored as fat. BE CAREFUL.

So how many ounces of meat are you eating and what kind of meat. You were too general

My site has all my info on it. That is actually one of the diets I follow. You asked me to look at your diet and I told you I think you need to eat more.

How many ounces of meat do you eat at a meal

Is is cows milk that you drink


your fruit drink should be right after your workout to replace your glycogyn.

You can order protein shakes over the net. these are real important you want to give your muscles protein fast after a workout and eating meat takes a long time to digest. you want to drink a whey protein.

The milk came from a market but it came out of an animal, what animal? You still have not answered how many ounces of meat are you eating? You need to buy a food scale, buy a book that has all the info in it that you will need to calculate calories, fat, carbs, and protein. You also need to buy a good MRP on the net. If you are serious about all this you need to get your food intake right. Most bodybuilders when bulking eat ~ 4000- 6000 calories a day.

I can figure out how many you are eating if you can give me quantity of the food you eat

No I don't carry a food scale with me. I weight my food out at home and then take it with me. when i go to work i have my chicken in a bag and it weighs 2 oz, yam in its own bag 3 oz, fish in a different bag it weighs 3 oz. See are you getting it? by the way oz means ounces

i read that kevin levrone was using drugs only about 6 weeks prior to mr. olympia thats why he isnt huge during off season.. well, just to let u know.. lol.. i had been a fan of him and his physique.. though i had learned that guys with long bellied back cant create one the best backs in bodybuilding world.. take dorian and coleman as an example.. they got short back muscle thats why they were able to create such development...

genetics plays a big role in there physics they also pay close attention to keeping there waist small to make there backs look bigger. some people have to work harder on there weak body parts, like my husband has geneticly has a big back and big legs but shoulders is his weakest point so he works harder on those than his back.

i don't know about the drugs but you have to remember illusion. when they are in off season they are actually bigger and then they lean down which makes them look bigger.

yeah, and the reason why in their "off season" thing they tend to wear an overall sweaters which covers their whole body so that acnes wont be seen popping while they are doing some light weights... hehe btw, we guys here in the gym, of course may not be huge but we have good muscle development eventhough we dont measure our calories or take mrps.. really, i guess it just a blessing in disguise.. :0 what do you think?
