too hard to get enough protein from food (and having to watch calories) as well.

wut

Chicken, tuna, kangaroo, egg whites (cooked). There, those are the leanest protein sources I can think of off the top of my head. Their entire calorie content should pretty much be from protein, as there's really next to no fat.

I could easily blow out 300g of protein in a day without touching a shake/supp.

Leg ham*

Yeah there's this too, though why do I hear people refer to ham as "semi-processed" meat in a bad context?

[Birds]

Dunno, but I had it straight from a pig's leg the other day so I'd like to see em tell me it was processed!

Not that I give too many f**ks for processed or unprocessed foods.

I think the ham you buy from the deli in Woollies etc is probably semi processed, not that I can see it as a bad thing as long as nothing is added to it.

Only concerns I have with processed meat are unnecessary additives (salt, sugar, etc), and not really knowing what part of the animal (or God forbid, what animal at all) you're eating. lol.

[Birds]

Meh, as long as the protein content on he back is high and the fats are low, I don't care too much. Processed food does tend to have a higher fat or sodium content though.

That being said most of the stuff I eat is fairly organic, just cause it's what I like the taste of.

[bozodos]

You mean you like the placebo effect of organic

Trozzle: I eat all of the above usually once a day apart from the eggs. Can of tuna for morning smoko, chicken breast for lunch, usually kangaroo or lean beef/steak for dinner, still not the 1g/lb that I'm trying to reach though, and I don't want to / can't eat more meat than I already do.

The 24-5 g from a shake a day helps things without heaps of calories, and I quite like them for a drink after a workout!

[Birds]

That prolly came out wrong, I don't like the taste because it's organic; I like the taste and it just happens to be organic.

I love my processed foods and fast food. Just don't eat as much of it (once a week etc.) cause I tend to avoid high fats.

Here are really nice and most informative post. I am totally agree with you all. But according to me other cardio exercise are better then join a gym. And Supplements, I think that it's not essential to build up your body and if you used it then after sometime you can see side effects of it. So try to avoid such things.

Say what now?

Am totally agree with you friend. Supplements is filth of manufacture processes, and after used for period of time side effects is happening. I avoid such things as to function brain better.

Come to my class for a grammar lesson please, kthanxbai

[bozodos]

a very rough calculation of my daily protein intake is

15g from tuna

81g from chicken breast

30-80 depending on what I eat for dinner

24g from whey powder

plus a small amount from my morning oats with a splash of milk. Assuming I'm eating a decent amount of meat for dinner, that brings me to around 200g, which is my 1g /lb of lean body mass.

I was eating cottage cheese / greek yogurt for dessert for a while, but I've been trying to keep my calories down.

On an unrelated note, managed to get bench, OHP, deadlift and squats in today, was quite pleased!

Should start a build thread boz; post some progress pics.

[bozodos]

haha not confident enough to do that Birds. I'm glad I started before I started getting serious man tits or fatty legs though.

Getting a bit sick of people trying to tell me I should be going to MMA / Kickboxing / cardio classes instead of lifting because "lifting won't make you fit or lose fat" (apparently the 15kg I've already shed is just water weight). Funny how they're the ones whose body composition doesn't appear to change, apart from the ability to run for kilometers on end.

It does motivate me to keep going hard to prove them wrong though, but I've recently started running/jogging as well to try and kick things along a bit.

[L33SH]

I think you post a pic Boz, I did and I'm one of the least confident people around.

[bozodos]

yeah I will, when I'm swole

[Birds]

I hope you're at least taking progress pics for yourself. One thing I regret is not taking before pics of how ridiculously skinny I was.

Heard a couple of chicks at the gym the other day talking about how often they want to come to the gym; saying they don't want to come more than 3 times a week because they didn't want to end up like those bodybuilding women...
