you gotta go with whey, fast abosrbing protein is what you need emmediately post work out. If for whatever reason you don't ahve any, then eat some meat or whatever, but have something.

looks like a shit load of protein bro, not sure your body can acutally use all of it at a time, it's probably storing a lot of it as fat.

You just did some damage to your muscles (lifting weights tears the muscle), you have a small window of time (30-45 mins) before the muscles react and start repairing themselves. When they do, they will canabolize other muscle tissues to repair the damaged ones. Eggs, meats, Fish, chicken, etc... all take too long to digest and get to your muscles in time. Post work out you need something fast absorbing (whey + dextrose). You can then eat some slwo absorbing carbs and any other source of protein abotu 45 minutes after your shake.

I didn't mention I was taking Levorex and T-Rex.. and I feel like I'm getting depleted real quick.. I eat clean and I'm trying to keep my protein.. get the carbs in after workout.. I was told to try that by someone.. Pretty knowledgeable seemed like.. Older bro of elite.. I don't know.. Your probably right..

well, lets see

eggs = about 7 g protein each (x5 =35g)
a can of tuna is around 32g of protein
lets assume that your whey is 2 scoops = around 30g of protein
milk = about 8g of protein

that's something like over 100g of protein + carbs in one sitting, the body cannot effeciently use all of that up in one sitting. Not sure if it changes with "supplements"

gotcha.. thanks bro.. i think ill change that up a little bit then.. i seem to of hit a dead spot anyways.. i was losing lbs fine, but staying really thick muscle wise.. so I figured it was working.. I don't know whats sitting on my abs still.. whether its skin or a combination of a little fat and skin.. its not thick.. real thin, and bunches up when i pinch.. im not an idiot to say a statement like that, thinking that it's not any fat.. but really my upper body is tight against my muscle.. I'm going to try out some Yohimburn when i get home and see if that helps.. if not.. looks like i need to look into some firming stuff.. i really don't want to get surgery.. i was around 260 playing football.. about 205 now.. dropped over a course.. but dropped about 20 in 2 months..
