I have taken protein shake for years post workout. I decided to bulk up a little by adding another protein shake right before bedtime. Its just protein isolate mixed with water. Ever since I taken it before bed, I have noticed weird feelings during the morning after waking up, specifically...

I can eat tofu, eggs, beef, pork, meat, etc just fine but I am lactose intolerant. I have tried protein isolate, egg protein, pea protein shake and all those block me up hard with constipation. I can eat tofu but soy milk makes me constipated. Soy milk has 8g of protein while almond milk has...

I have tried lactase and metamucil, results in constipation. I take metamucil at night to keep my regularity and was told that was the wrong time of the day to consume it. I have not taken magnesium citrate before. What does it do? edit-magnesium citrate sounds extreme, used to prep for...

I have tried many protein supplements for the past 5+ years, always resulting in some negative side effect. Through my own self diagnosis, I am lactose and protein intolerant. I get diarrhea when I consume milk. I get constipated when I take whey isolate, pea protein, lactose free milk, soy...

For the last 5+ years of taking protein shakes and weight gainers, my ass starts tearing up and bleed after the 2nd week of supplements. I then take a break, let it heal, and then continue with the supplements again. I know I am taking in enough fiber and water because when I am off of the...

I am 5'3" and weigh 150, so fairly lean and not that strong. At the gym, I would do 195 lbs front squat, back straight, ass to the ground, 2 seconds going down, 2 seconds hold at the bottom, and 2 back up. People tell me that is really awesome form and flexibility, but I don't understand whats...

My father is fighting cancer and things are looking bleak. He has lost a lot of weight and no longer has an appetite to eat. I want to help him with his nutrition by giving him whey isolate. I have read online articles where protein shake is often given to patients for recovery. But then...

Wow, forgot I ever started this thread. Anyways, progress report? My system is doing well with oatmeal. I think it was the protein that I had trouble digesting. Using vegetable protein now without any issues.

I have started my bulking phase and so my weight is gradually climbing now. Originally, when I heard that people need to cut before bulking, I thought this applied to all builders. I didn't realize that at my stage, I didn't need to cut anymore.

When doing deadlifts, do I: a) Go heavy - do one lift, set it done, and take a breather for my next rep or b) Go moderate - do repeated reps without breaks until I reach my set limit I am trying to bulk so building muscle is the key. Thanks

Never realized that eating can be so hard. :P

haha

I do weigh less than most of the female coworkers at work :( I am afraid that if I crank up my food so fast that I would lose my 4-6 pack. I will try and balance my meals throughout the week with the suggestions and see how it goes.

More carbs? From things like oatmeal or whole wheat bread? Or veggies and fruits?

I am 5' 5" at 128 lbs at maybe 10% bodyfat. I do weights 6 days a week. I am starting the bulking phase for the first time and the idea of eating a lot overwhelms me. How do I know if I am gaining too fast, resulting in fat? Please assist in my diet. 1) Breakfast (08:00 am) --- Eggs - 2...
