Re: a structured proven workout

btw, pretty simple rule for toning more reps(12-20) with less weight while for bulking less reps(4-8) and of course higher weights

Examples of high protein, low carb foods (with 'good fats') that my meat-eating friends really like. Some of these people are half carnivore, but still agree that Morningstar stuff is really good (someone I know loves to eat their 'bacon' raw. Not meat, but still )

My favorites are their hot dogs, grillers and chic patties. The hot dogs are high in protein. Real body builders might eat the whole package.

hey thanks.
the first link was useful, although I don't see myself as a veggetarian. Whey protein indeed is listed as the prime source of muscle building protein though.

There is some info in that first link that isn't accurate. (Like vegetable protein is 'lower quality' than animal protein--rice with beans combined is perfect protein, for example. Quinoa alone, an ancient Andes grain, is an excellent protein... They were talking about combining whole foods for protein for a vegan--someone who eats no dairy or egg--body builder, a more complex issue.)

I sometimes use Quinoa (available in natural food stores) like I would couscous.

"Quinoa contains more protein than any other grain [at] an average of 16.2 percent..." http://www.quinoa.net/Nutrition_Fact...ion_facts.html

Re: a structured proven workout

If you're young (late teens, early-mid 20s), your main focus would be to stay consistent, not miss days, and not overdo it.
Some tips:
Don't do heavy cardio on days you do weights
Don't eat a lot of saturated fats
Eat a multi-vitamin every couple of days
Get plenty of protein on days you work out
Don't work out a muscle that's sore

There is a thing called biological value (BV) which measures the percentage of the protein in a type of food which is actually able to be utilized by the body. I know for a fact that the BV of beans is the lowest of any foods which contain a significant amount of protein, as opposed to eggs which have a BV of 100.

egg yokes right?

how much is the BV of whey protein, as in dairy.

Re: a structured proven workout

I don't know about BV, but the main benefit of whey protein is that it's absorbed by the body very quickly, and is very helpful for mass increase.

You should consume some whey protein within 45 minutes of a workout. Most powders come with a combination of whey and casein (takes about 4-6 hours to absorb vs 1-2 hours for whey).

Well the entire egg actually. Although the egg white is almost purely protein the yoke also contains a lot of cholesterol and fat. But i read somewhere that apparantly most of the cholestorol is not obsorbed by your body for some reason.

As for whey protein, it depends on the manufacturer and the quality of the whey and the other ingredients they use as well. I myself cant stand protein shakes, i usually stick to World Nutrition "Pure Protein" bars once or twice a day and eggs, tuna steak, shrimp and beef for my protein.
