anyone herein the navy,or have experience,i just got out of boot camp(lost alot of muscle), and now im wondering how i will be able to maintain my diet with all this galley food and bo place to store chicken or anything like that, also....you dont sleepin the navy for ****,im lucky to get 6 hours a night. Any one have any expeerience?
im getting most of my protein from shakes now, how bad is that? If I only have access to so much solid protein a day, should I still make it up with the extra protein shakes? like maybe having a 2 scoop shake at every meal? I now it sounds insane, and in the civilian world I never would dream of doing it,but, its really my only option.

Try to get some casein rather than whey protein. It should make a bit of difference.
If they can make penicillin out of mouldy bread, maybe they can do something with you.

Not really; I gained 17 pounds in 3 months, while dropping a considerable amount of BF. The food isn't the most nutritious, but you do what you can.Originally posted by unity

Yes and no. We got three meals a day, but you only got so much food. They had a salad bar, though, with tons of tuna, pasta, things like that. I must've eaten a pound of tuna a day. Everyone ordered supplements, too.Originally posted by unity

You should use dookie1481's advice there are plenty of ways to build muscle while in the Navy. You should have a gym on ship so use it and watch your diet. Heck most Marines get huge when they are out at sea. Nothing to do but train, clean your equipment and lift, lift, lift... Good luck.
