  11. Audi want 2500 per shock for the front of the car , anybody recommend anything cheaper without going down the 2nd hand route? Or are you at the mercy of Audi
  12. Thanks I do struggle with the fork, 500-700 mark cal per meal is ideal for me , anything more and I feel bloated and sick 5000-7000 cal , the most I think I every consumed in a day was 4500 and it was tough going, I am not keen on supplements unless I cannot get to real food ; it is handy in the morning with porridge as a quick supplement I try to eat up to 6 meals a day but if I am not hungry and making myself sick , I will hold off, some days I could be on the can 2-3 times from processing all the food BCAA's through out the day and if I wake at nite just to keep my muscles feed!
  13. I have an Excel sheet and record what I eat , to be honest the amount I eat I am surprised the Cal count is so low This is a typical day , Flapjack is a rarity , normally I would have a sandwich or corn cakes with Quinoa & Flaxseed cal Protein Porridge 40g 150 4.4 Breakfeast Walnuts 25 174 3.7 Breakfeast Cranberry Sauce 25g 40 0 Breakfeast Protenshake 30 Breakfeast Pasta Pesto 250g 768 22 Lunch Bannana 100g 103 0 Lunch Flapjack 110g 455 5.5 Lunch 1690 cals so far today 65.6 Protein I will go home and have a full dinnear , Brocolli , steak/fish, pasta/rick, Potatoes (something not far off 800 cal) Get in a Shake with a selecting a few ingredients from Spinach/Kale walnuts/porridge or Fruit , banana , cocnut water or fat free greek yogurt or 6 + egg whites , avocado Or fat free greek yogurt & fruit plus Granola Try and mix it up , be generally in the evening I would have a dinner , Shake and (Sandwich (Toasted Cheese & ham X2) or Granola/Yogurt )
  14. Gym scales each week , but I was a consistent 83 on those scales for weeks I am sure I have a few pounds but chest arms legs and shoulders have improved @bigmark thanks for the calculator, I have the break down was wondering if I was eating too much carbs etc as I work in IT so little activities throughout the day Protein is way up though , in that calculator; rule of thumb I keep reading even on bodybuilding.com is 2g per kg approx , that calculator has an extra 40-45g on top of 175g
  15. Other than an excel macro, I have no idea what you mean lol
  16. Build Muscle , so far today I had 1982 cals and 166.7 grams of Protein I am training very hard , heavy weights, compound exercises and 30mins Cardio on the rest days ; will build up the cardio I always push myself very hard with the lifting weights, making gains in what I can lift week on week , stress relief too Up to twice my body weight on deadlifts @ 3 sets of 6 reps ; building on it
  17. Hey Hitting the gym hard since after Christmas , I took a 2-3 week over Xmas One thing I have noticed is my weight is rocking up , I normally fluctuate around the 82/83 Kg mark (13St approx), but my weight shot up to 85kg over a few weeks and now today I saw a 87.15 prior training and a 86.90 post I have increased my food intake and the major difference post Xmas is drinking approx 13g of BCAA's a day plus I started taking alot of liquid egg whites in the last about 3 weeks. BCAA's do cause bloating , I also purchased a shaker so its fairly easy to up the Calories with a 1-2 shakes a day, with egg whites , Kale, Avocado,oat meal, banana's in the shake, some peanut butter or fruit,protein, coconut water to try attack the DOMs before it starts, get the nutrients back into you Could alot of this be just water retention ? I do have days bloating reseeds and my stomach is back to normal, I am athletic build Muscle groups are developing but for obvious reasons you cannot pack on muscle this quick, just a bit concerned I am putting on fat
