Would the egg's not cause a increase in weight?
And are sweet potatoe's not very starchy and should perhaps be eaten earlier than 2

no pouched eggs are the best thing you could put in a boxers diet , its my job i didnt go to uni for no reason lol and u should not eat starcy carbs because 5 pm to 6 pm because your body takes 4 hours to start using carbs so this is a time asuming you go to bed around 10 pm , sweet potatoe is very good for you and high in fibre

Can i ask, if your body takes 4 hours to use carbs, why do most bodybuilding magazines suggest a Protein Shake and Complex carbs either 2 hours before training or in some cases, immediately before training?

I'm not being a smart arse by the way....i genuinely would like to know. Ta

ah yes becuase this is when your body is working at its fasters so it can handel carb in take .. but not when your sleeping also carbs are a quick energy boost where protein is prolonged

Actually while I got ye both here....
Could you guys list some high protein foods (other than meats) I could use during my average training day.

Even when cutting or trying to make weight, eating eggs for breakfast is a great way of keeping your test levels high....which is important for maintaining/building muscle as wel as overall body composition.

Sweet Potatoes are starchy but i don't see the problem with eating them after 4pm. I'm talking from a bodubuilding point of view with this one. Donny, you obviously know a lot more about making weight than me

Made Weight well last week. Was going for 71, came in at 70.6
I actually ate a feed of Eggs on the morning of the fight and it did the trick.

I can see the benefits of poached eggs alright.
As for sweet potato, for whatever reason my body has problems with digesting starch and it makes me feel sleepy and slow.

I'll keep you'r advice on eggs in mind guys. I'm gonna bulk a little more in my shoulders and arms over then next month I think.

Do you mind if I also pick your brain a bit here?

Why every other day for these things? I would have kinda thought aiming for roughly the same intake daily with a few treats occasionally might make your metabolism a bit more stable. Sort of aid in having a routine?

I have the exact same breakfast everyday is that bad?

Do you say every other day because you're recommending training every other day?

Do you suggest Avacodos for their good oils and I can't remember what else I've read about them but I think anticarcinogenic compounds? Here avocados are kinda expensive. I LOVE them but could only afford to have them occasionally. Any other food you can recommend that could I could have instead?

I have a tablespoon of flaxseed oil on my cereal everyday - is that equivalent to some of the good stuff in avocados?

OK I'm going by a very vague memory of what's good about avocados so I'll have to ask you to forgive my stupidity if I'm way off!

Ive got a few toss ons here
When I eat breakfast(infrequently)I tend to go for a Cup Of Ramens
Its light and digests quickly
Lunch is almost Chicken Noodle Soup
Dinner,I get to eat real food
Snacks are usually,during the day something like pickles
At night after dinner,a Soft Pretzel or an Egg Roll
Why pickles?
Think about it
Go work out,now lick your own arm,sounds gross,but do it anyway
What do you taste like
How about salt?
What is the brine they make pickles from mainly made of?
This prevents cramping and muscle tears,you have to have certain amount of it in your system,and the two things you blow through hardest when your working out,is salt and water

Quick question..are you on crack? hahaha

Ok where do i start, im just tryna help you out here btw, so dont take it as bad criticism.

Ok firstly...why only 2 eggs? That only equates to roughly 8 grams of protein, an average person reguardless of bulkin, maintain or cutting, needs the same ammount of protein per meal, which is roughly 35-45 grams. I have 6 egg whites and 1-2 yolks(multivitamins) with any meal. Ok another thing in relation to that, you just said only have 2 eggs... you also need carbohydrates which are the most important thing in the morning, your body is catabolic because glycogen levels are are low, so you need need a slow releasing energy, i.e complex carbs (oats, bread, grain, potatoes, all that starchy crap in other words).

Lastly for that first response of 'every other day', it doesnt really matter if you eat the same food every day, your body doesnt throw away its nutrients because its fed up on it, the only positive thing i see from that comment is that maybe you are sayin it based on a psychological level, so the individual doesnt get fed up of what hes eating, or so he doesnt get into the mindstate of not lookin forward to his food, well that probably will decrease a release of hormones cause of his sadness/depression etc, but if you enjoy the food then it doesnt make a difference.

Ok now to your 2nd comment:
' eat turkey and tuna with a wholegrain carb or sweet potatoe baked
before 6pm if you can '

Ok.. when you say 6pm..are you assumin they are goin to sleep before 8-9pm, if so then yes. Because its bad to have carbs 2.5-3 hours before bed, because it basically gets stored as fat. But if the person is goin to sleep at 10pm,11pm,12pm etc..it doesnt really make a difference. Also if you were just goin to have the tuna/turkey by itself, you can basically have it anytime before your sleep, as it will not damage your weight gain because its protein (assuming you are training regularly), (and if you are havin tuna, thats probably better becasue of its good fats itll slow the release of protein over night).

"eat an avocado every other day in a salad on the side of main meal or in a salad at lunch ...lay off sugar .. sugar makes carbs .. which make bad weight

Avocados good cause of its monosaturated fats, but if you excess in good fats it can be bad, but an avacoda a day is pretty good. Ok also you just say 'sugar makes carbs', thats wrong lol..sugar is a carb, its a simple carbohydrate actually, but also, sugar is only acceptable in the morning and post workout.

Lastly, as for that water comment, it doesnt matter when you drink water, i tend to drink around 2-3litres a day in general, because its water it doesnt do anythin bad. Best time to have a lot of water is when you are working out, because it keeps you hydrated and helps deliver vital nutrients and protein through the blood quicker.

Hope this has been helpful.

Actually 2 eggs, 2 slices of toast and a glass of milk would provide 28 grams of protein and is sufficient for virtually all people.

You said yourself an avocado a day would be ok so why lecture someone on the risks of overeating them when they say every other day?

It would be around 20 grams, as only 1cup =250ml of milk= 8grams of protein, and each egg is around 3-4grams of protein(includin the yulk), and 2 slices of bread reguardless of if its processed white bread or wholemeal, its around 5 and bit grams of protein. so that adds up to 20grams of protein, Which is half the recommendation of protein.

To your avocado comment:

Na im not saying its bad to eat on other days or during the week, or anything like that. Im just saying do not exceed them within a day, because you can over do your daily caloric intake, so in other words keep your good fats to around 20-30grams per day tops (including fish, peanut butter, nuts, avocado etc). So dont try to eat more than 1-1.5 avocados a day, unless you know perfectly you are not goin to have any other good fats, which is pretty hard to assume hahaha.

[donnydarkoIRL]

Eggs are ok, but there are better sources of protein in my opinion.
