Beginner needs help

browns78 Posts: 1 Joined: 2005/10/28	2005/10/28, 10:06 PM Hello to you, and thank you for taking the time to read this post. I am a 27 year old male, who is starting to once again take training seriously. I am a hard gainer, meaning I can't gain weight. I need foods/recipes that are high in protiens and carbs. Any training ideas would also be GREATLY appreciated.

The Grocery List is a good place to start. Also, help us help you. Put some info in your profile about what you're doing now (diet and work out) and folks will be better able to advise. Without that it's a coin toss. -------------- Mike in Pensacola Now.

Resistance, cardio and diet is the triangle to over all fitness. 2 days on 1 off 2 on 2 off is a good cycling for training. Cardio everday 15 min. to start then get to 30-45. Eat every three hours, whole foods and work out calories. Ideal weightx10=5 small meals of total calories. (EX>115x10=1500 divided by 5 is 300 cal. per meal.) No white sugar, no white flour and no carbs after 4pm. Keep it simple. See you in the gym Dendy

I know that is too low. My ft nutritional plan is recommending 1905 cal. I'm not trying to be a smart a$$ or anything I just wanted to bring that to your attention. Also you have your example 115x10=1500 which isn't right. Did you leave something out maybe?

This formulation is design to lose the initial weight and then of course we would adjust calories for maintinance. When we are training hard in the gym the basic formaltion would be to increase calorie intake by 300-500 as needed to assest recovery. Now does that make sense? Dendy
