whole foods are always better.

whole foods are always better.

I agree with poysyn few posts up "whole food is always better than supplementing (except arguably pre/post workout) and, in my opinion, it is very easy to prepare a weeks worth of chicken in advance.."

If you have an option to eat whole foods then do it. If you are rushed or cannot fit in a 'real' meal then bars & MRPs can work.

I would aim for some protein every meal & don't skimp on you veggies... FILLING & good for you.

Also with bars... I'm going to say chances are you are not getting all the nutrients promised for one and may be cooked out of bar in the heating process. I forget where I read more on that, but point is, real food better, emergency = eat something (that is better than nothing)

They also are made to taste good these days which may mean a long list of crap you never heard of... plus they can start tasting like candy bars & over eaten

lol thanks guys and gals, i've swapped over to skimmed milk, theres barely any fat and the same protein content as "normal" milk.

I'm planning to do a combination of the things mentioned here, I'm going to be bulking, but seriously cutting fat intake. And more veggies! I liked proteinfiend's comment on not moving to the caribbean anytime soon!

Not working anymore... needed more experience :S (i.e sacked)

So my diet will be as good as I want it to be, and I can hit the gym more often. Suppose i'll just have to make a bit of ebay cash for now...

Caution to cutting fat too much... cutting bad fats, bad carbs is the key. You do not want to limit healthy fats... they are good for you, keep your cals here they need to be, keep you FULL, etc.

Best Wishes.
