do ya think i should be having a day?, 6.0 ft 182 pounds, dont harldy move unless im walking to the car, due to coming out of work(no i dint have an accident i got in lazy mode after i fucked my job off) i wanna get rid of my gut, dont get me wrong i aint no fat bastard, but i got a gut and i want rid, plus i wanna get bigger, not massive, but a noticable difference, i know what exercises to do but i wanna loose the gut but get bigger like in arms shoulders chest legs, back basically everything except my stomach which i want to flatten out, so i was wondering how much protein i should have, plus all the meals i have are microwave meals mostly, which are high in protein like lasagne bout 30g, and was thinking is it best to boil em or to microwave em, plus i got tins of tuna, bout 24grams a tin, i just wanna know how much i should be consuming, and when to consume (after workout before, during)i dont want to get the protein shakes i just wanna do it natural, and i started to drink more water, bout a galon throughout day, and i hear to get bigger you gotta lift heavy, but whats the difference in lifting heavier and doing more reps if u havnt got heavier weights?, cuz am training at home.

The one gram per pound rule is the easiest and most commonly used method of calculating your daily protein requirement, but their are times when you need to change that amount eg. When you are trying to gain muscular body weight, and when you are using a low carbohydrate diet for fat loss. Then I'd say up it to about 1.4 gram per pound of bodyweight.

On the subject of the microwave meals, they're trash mate, high in salt & sugar, buy chicken breasts pastas etc, you can make some really quick meals from these or even make them up and store them in the freezer so time is really no exscuse. Oh and you say that lasagne contains about 30g of protein, thats close but try to aim for about 34g per meal.

So your gonna train at home, that's fine but imo it's much better to join a gym and get a training partner, there's too many distractions at home and it's all to easy to slack off, especially as you need to keep your sessions intense if you have fat to burn.

As for your training add two sessions of 20 minute interval training to begin with to fire up that fat burning furnace in your body. and as regard to higher rep training the general rule is to stay between 8-12 reps for maximull muscle growth, but lately there has been some research that show even higher reps still builds good amounts of muscle so dont worry too much just make sure you train hard.

Your pre-workout meal should be consumed about 1 and half hours before you train containing at least 30 grams of protein and at least 70g of slow digesting carbs. Now immediatly after training you need fast digesting carbs to replace lost muscle glycogen and prevent muscle atrophy, and again protein, this is where shakes really hold their own, oh and by the way using a protein shake isn't un natural, supplements really are a big help.

if you're serious about this,toss that microwaveable crap out. get some lean meats and real foods.

what? whey/casein/soy/etc. protein is not natural?

dude,i wouldnt advise lifting weights at home if you don't have the proper or enough equipment.

protein from foods has poor bioavailability.that's why shakes are important.Plus protein shakes are all natural.It's just PURE protein extracted from milk or whatever.Nothing is "made" or "fake".

First off all you should start 2 learn about weightliftin in general and get yourself a good routine.... there is no point in talkin about protein if you haven't taken the very first step yet and judgin from your question you haven't yet.

Well then I suggest to get more weights. If you do the same stuff day in and day out with the same weight and repitition your muscles will get used to it and therefore you wont gain any muscles. The key here is to tear your muscles so you can grow muscles. Thats why you need to add more weight to your bench, barebell, ect. Usually I do with the increments of 5 a week or two. It depends how I feel.

The difference between a successful person & others is:
Not a lack of strength
Not a lack of knowledge
But rather in a lack of will

Fuck workin out at home. Go to the gym.
