My nightime shakes just aren't cutting it and they are 2.5 scoops of protein and 2 tablespoons of olive oil and they still aren't cutting it. I wake up every night just starving!!!!

What would be a suitable REAL food replacement?
 
Cottage cheese with protein powder mixed in. I tried this awhile ago- it's a Berardi recipe (you can have it free of charge cause I'm a nice girl :) )


1/2 cup low fat cottage cheese
2 tbsp flax meal
1 tbsp natural peanut butter
1 scoop chocolate protein powder with casein
Splenda, to taste

Mix and eat.

I LOVED it!! I used fat-free cottage cheese.

On a training day, my last meal at night is 2 slices low carb bread topped with 1/2 can tuna, 2 slices fat free cheese- fry them in a pan sprayed with cooking oil, then I pop them under the broiler til they melt. Yummy!

Sometimes instead of cottage cheese, I have an egg white omelet.
 
I have the same thing goin on. but if I pound a shake I usually feel better in the morning. Its hard to do every night though. If I dont, I wake up with a stomach ache.
 
before bed I do 3 whole eggs, 7 egg whites, then a shake and a couple fish oil caps, gives me around 60+ grams of protein

I ate a ribeye the other day and one hour later I thought I was going to die I was so hungry. I actually left class early to go eat

well then get up to 270 and cut down to 250 with 20%bf:)
I agree, G4E you can do it. Just get over your fobia of a little body fat ;)
 
a little fat? hell I am more fat than you by far!.............and if I was bulking I owuld be even fatter yet
 
Another thing about adding fat is you get to push heavier weights around in the gym. My goal is to get back up to 235-240 and stay there. While i'm there i'll experiment with my diet to try and lower bf and add lean mass. But G4E putting on fat isn't that bad if you have a tan haha it's when ur pale while like I am right now that it shows
 
g4e, you are NOT fat...not by a long shot. Winter IS a good time to put on a little though, if you want to put on some more muscle. I know, it sucks, but at least you can be covered up most of the time :)
 
yeah but I HATE absolutely HATE being fat naked, makes me self concious for sex........I know that sounds dumb, but when I was fat and lost all my weight I swore I would rather be DEAD than fat like that again, It is a mental thing that really bothers me

I've been there before and can relate. Believe me.


I will NEVER get fat again, I don't care what it takes.
 
well I am glad someone understands, buff for one ought to understand how I feel 2 since he was once a FATBOY.......

I understand, but also understand what it takes to get big. Bulking is just that, doesn't mean you have to be a fat ass, but gaining some bf is to be expected. The whole cutting up every time you gain some bf is just setting you back everytime you do it. Ask BW what it takes to get big, he'll tell you it's eating big. You can't do that if your to concerned about gaining a little fat. I'm not telling you to bulk up to 30% bf, but what's wrong with 20% and maybe cutting back down a bit to maybe 15% to keep bulking? 1 step forward, 2 steps back..

You KNOW I understand, being a former fatass myself, but I agree with buff on this one. I have put on a little extra padding a few times in order to put on some muscle. Knowing that I was doing it to obtain that goal made it a little easier to stomach. It's not like you are going to keep it. Anyway babe, it's your call- you do what you are comfortable with.

Hey, here's another one that knows EXACTLY what you are talking about!!!!! I once said very seriously that I would eat a gun before I ever live fat again - it is that important - it is not vanity - it is sanity!!!!!

And hey, what's life without teriffic sex!!!!:letsdoit:
