Nope, I never said I was serious about training. I'm as half assed as they come.
I don't take any creatine, glutamine, vitamins, ala and rarely Flax (never had the cash, so I never got into the habit). I haven't got a clue how many calories I'm eating. I just go by my hunger. If I'm hungry, I eat, If I'm not I don't. I only have a general idea on the amount of protein I'm taking in, and no clue how much carbs and fat. I don't always get a protein shake after my workouts either.
However, I'm not too worried, cause my goal right now is to keep what little muscle and strength I have, while I increase my endurance. Remarkably my strength is still going up slightly, even on my lame diet. However, my weight has stayed constant. I might get serious this winter.

Sorry - 5 grams is standard is it not???
Isn't it about one pound of meat per gram?

All the supplement intake depends on your goals.
A powerlifter doesnt care about his calorie count or gram counts of anything. he just needs a general estimate like 1 gram of protein per pound.
Regular white creatine powder is by far the best in terms of cost and effectivenes.
1000 grams of creatine is like $25 now. Take 20 grams a day while training with your water and it will work very well. Thats like 2 months worth for $25
FLAx, ala and that stuff is good too...much more impoant for bodybuilders than powerlifers

>Do you ALWAYS hit up a post w/o protein/carb drink and then >follow with another larger meal 1.5 to 2 hours later?
I drink a protein shake almost right before working out, and try to make a larger meal at least 1/2 hour later.
>Do you ALWAYS know how many calories per day day you are >eating?
Not exactly, I find it harder to count the calories :]
>What about carbs?
Yes
>Protein?
Yes
>Fat?
Yes
>Do you take a multi vit/min?
Multivitamin, 500mg Vit C, and 800U.i Vit E
>Creatine and Glutamine everyday?
I use glutamine everyday, at least for me it has worked very well. I keep my diet in check and find it easier with it for my muscles to recover.
Regarding Creatine, only when I'm in bulking because it makes me hold water.
>Supplement with flax oil as needed?
Where I like it's hard to find it.
Do you recommend an alternative for it??
>What about ala??
Unfortunately, here ala is very very expensive and hard to find... supply and demand you know. So I prefer to use that money for extra protein or food as needed.
I would like to try ala, but for now it is not possible
