ahhh that's what I figured. I would say they are 'ok' but not great. Personally, I would try to focus on foods with cleaner fat sources (salmon, nuts, chicken, etc.).

What's your diet / workout split look like? Give us something more to work with, like some history.

bap?

I've been usually eating 2 pieces of toast before I head to the gym first thing in the AM. I don't want to be working out with nothing in my system as that is a surefire way to lose muscle fast.

Freshest is always the best and I am a partial believer in what Gargantuan said. While the vitamins may say they are 'expired', I tend to believe that expiration dates on many non-perishables are...

congrats on the gains man! It feels friggin awesome to start putting up insane weights you have never lifted before. And for the most part, the gains stick when you come off your cycle.

As for...

j, steel cut oats rule. They are also known as Irish oats. I can't find their GI value but I recall reading that they are slightly higher than normal oats, as they are not as processed. They are a...

str8, it really depends what brand of honey you buy (http://www.mendosa.com/gilists.htm - Item 586 lists different kinds of honey) but unless you know sugar breakdown of your honey I guess you could...

Most honey has a higher glycemic index than your typical table sugar (sucrose). 72 - 87ish vs. 60-65ish Get out a trusty table spoon and throw back 3 or 4 tablespoons of honey. It's probably one...

If you are doing this to get ready for a contest or some non-strenuous event, I would say you could do it for 3 days or so. That's a pretty low number of calories and by the end of the third day...

oh, I don't have any material to back this up but this is what I heard once regarding tuna. The chunk light, especially the watery, pasty crap, is just a step above what they send to cat/pet food...

If you have access to a bulk or natural foods store you can probably buy plain old rolled or steel cut oats by the pound. This is usually cheaper and you know you are getting the real thing.

Well, what you are probably seeing is the difference between chunk light and albacore. Albacore is f'ing mindblowing tuna. It is usually chunkier and more like eating a fish. It's also at least...

Marlow,

I am in love with this stuff. After careful inspection of all the different varieties the 'Hunger Filler' appears to be the best bet. If I recall correctly it's 60 cals per slice,...

Yes, whey is excellent to take right after your workouts. I also recommend reading through all of the articles on BB.com. Great advice to get headed in the right direction and get yourself...

I want you to walk into your kitchen, open your mouth, and pour oats down your throat. If you position your neck correctly you can open your eso****us to allow it to go directly to your stomach...

This is just my opinion and you will need to find what works best for you but I say go with the 40/40/20 plan for bulking. You will need the extra carbs to use a constant energy source while your...

Do you have a tendency to gain fat easily? Either way I think the safest way to bulk is to start eating at maintenance + 100 cals and bump this up every 4 days or so and as soon as you start seeing...

One more thing. As for 'cheat meals/days' I haven't really had a true blue one in while. It's not like I am shying away from them, but when I get in a weight loss / exercise / nutrition groove I...

I've been reading this thread for a while as I have (well, let's speak more positively about this...'I HAD') a binging problem. It was most likely due to, like a lot of you here, from underfeeding...
