Forum Rules (Everyone Must Read!!!)

1] What you CAN NOT post.

You agree, through your use of this service, that you will not use this forum to post any material which is:
- abusive
- vulgar
- hateful
- harassing
- personal attacks
- obscene

You also may not:
- post images that are too large (max is 500*500px)
- post any copyrighted material unless the copyright is owned by you or cited properly.
- post in UPPER CASE, which is considered yelling
- post messages which insult the Armenians, Armenian culture, traditions, etc
- post racist or other intentionally insensitive material that insults or attacks another culture (including Turks)

The Ankap thread is excluded from the strict rules because that place is more relaxed and you can vent and engage in light insults and humor. Notice it's not a blank ticket, but just a place to vent. If you go into the Ankap thread, you enter at your own risk of being clowned on.
What you PROBABLY SHOULD NOT post...
Do not post information that you will regret putting out in public. This site comes up on Google, is cached, and all of that, so be aware of that as you post. Do not ask the staff to go through and delete things that you regret making available on the web for all to see because we will not do it. Think before you post!


2] Use descriptive subject lines & research your post. This means use the SEARCH.

This reduces the chances of double-posting and it also makes it easier for people to see what they do/don't want to read. Using the search function will identify existing threads on the topic so we do not have multiple threads on the same topic.

3] Keep the focus.

Each forum has a focus on a certain topic. Questions outside the scope of a certain forum will either be moved to the appropriate forum, closed, or simply be deleted. Please post your topic in the most appropriate forum. Users that keep doing this will be warned, then banned.

4] Behave as you would in a public location.

This forum is no different than a public place. Behave yourself and act like a decent human being (i.e. be respectful). If you're unable to do so, you're not welcome here and will be made to leave.

5] Respect the authority of moderators/admins.

Public discussions of moderator/admin actions are not allowed on the forum. It is also prohibited to protest moderator actions in titles, avatars, and signatures. If you don't like something that a moderator did, PM or email the moderator and try your best to resolve the problem or difference in private.

6] Promotion of sites or products is not permitted.

Advertisements are not allowed in this venue. No blatant advertising or solicitations of or for business is prohibited.
This includes, but not limited to, personal resumes and links to products or
services with which the poster is affiliated, whether or not a fee is charged
for the product or service. Spamming, in which a user posts the same message repeatedly, is also prohibited.

7] We retain the right to remove any posts and/or Members for any reason, without prior notice.


- PLEASE READ -

Members are welcome to read posts and though we encourage your active participation in the forum, it is not required. If you do participate by posting, however, we expect that on the whole you contribute something to the forum. This means that the bulk of your posts should not be in "fun" threads (e.g. Ankap, Keep & Kill, This or That, etc.). Further, while occasionally it is appropriate to simply voice your agreement or approval, not all of your posts should be of this variety: "LOL Member213!" "I agree."
If it is evident that a member is simply posting for the sake of posting, they will be removed.


8] These Rules & Guidelines may be amended at any time. (last update September 17, 2009)

If you believe an individual is repeatedly breaking the rules, please report to admin/moderator.

        Plan your vegan or vegetarian bodybuilding diet the right way


        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.

              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.

                    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.
