What is your workout routine? Try eating 1g for every half a pound you weigh at minimum! Protein is found in: egg whites Chicken breasts Tuna Cottage cheese If you are finding it difficult to get a lot of protein, try some protein shakes. Hope this helps! Tej

Also, don't cut your good fats and carbs back too much - by over restricting your carb intake, the protein you take in will be partially used for energy, robbing your muscles of the needed building blocks for growth. As far as your regimen goes: try to base it on heavy, compound lifts. -------------- Michael "Trample the weak; hurdle the dead!"

By the way, you wouldn't happen to be a Red Wings fan would you? WHAT HAPPENED!?!?! I am from the Detroit area, and man I can tell ya, this sucks.

Does anyone know were i could find a really good diet plan for what i want to do. and yes dahayz THIS DOES SUCK HUGE!!!!! -------------- REDWINGKRIS
