I go to Rutgers (New Brunswick), and I'm not really sure what kind of food there would benefit me. Is there anyone here @ Rutgers (or in college in general) that knows how i can maximize nutrition in college? iirc Dimsum is at rutgers, or somewhere extremely close to there. He's on your schools oly lifting team. As far as nutrition at college goes... try to eat lean meats and vegetables, and if you must drink, don't drink beer and don't snack afterwards. | ||

I'm not a beer-drinker, and i doubt that i'll drink anytime soon, so that shouldn't be of concern. ^^ Also...just when I get to the gym today, i find out it's closed due to the first Rutgers football game...heh ^^; | ||

Also, pendlay rows are awesome, I strongly recommend that everyone try them out if they haven't. Finished up with some weighted pull-ups and dumbbell shrugs, and felt like a boss. I love Jack3d. | ||

But I don't feel like they compare in overall body development to clean and to pullups, and it's absolutely impossible to do all three of them together without running yourself into the ground. Is there a particular reason you prefer them over cleans? | ||

Honestly, when I move into my new apartment and get my next huge bonus (December :D :D :D) I'm just going to buy my own squat rack, my own bench, and my own bar/weights. It'll probably end up costing me $1000+, but it'll save me money over the next few years and I won't need to deal with crap like this anymore. | ||

I'm only there Tuesday and Thursday at night since I only have one class to take. Try to go to the college ave gym and find the "power gym".This is where you can do oly lifts and anything else. Unlike the main gym, the power gym usually isn't crowded and the trainers are very helpful. (I'm the one doing power snatches in the blue shirt :O) Also come to the involvment fair(next friday) and sign up for the weightlifting club.  We will be lifting outdoors.The food at the cafeterias is pretty bad, but you can eat healthy, sorta. This is usually what I normally eat when at rutgers. breakfast (not much variation here ) omelet/boiled eggs with some fruit lunch (there is no variation, its all fried foods) grilled chicken and salad dinner (There is much better food at dinner always. )Sometimes there is steak/beef and boiled veggies at dinner so you can look for that. Otherwise chicken and salad There is plenty of whole milk, so you can go crazy on that.  | ||

It feels so awkward doing oly lifting in there since people aren't used to bumper plates dropping. Yeah there are usually idiots that come in and do weird shit, but most of the time its people who know what they are doing. What makes me die on the inside is when people come in just to do curls. Those are the guys that always walk in front of you while you are lifting... | ||

Unfortunately commercial gyms have to cater to these types because there are just so many of them. I can understand somebody's desire to want to look like they lift, but the people who go in and just do bicep curls, bench presses, and otherwise get in everybody's way irritate me to no end. | ||

+Cottage cheese. Low fat one, sometimes amish cottage cheese. +Mixed grain bread, no other types of bread. Has a lot of fiber and protein. +Low fat yogurt. +Salmon fillets fried, non-breaded. +Chicken Tender loins fried, non-breaded. +Grapefruit (usually for breakfast). +Orange Juice. +LOTS of water. +Special type of low fat, high protein peanut butter. +No fat (blue) milk. +Lots of tomatoes, cucumbers and leeks. +Soup occasionally. Dropped from 222 to 213 but have been doing anaerobic workouts so some muscle mass may have been gained hindering absolute weight loss results. Either way, shorts are feeling looser. Goal is to eventually start running around my local golf course and eventually go down to 195 before the end of September. | ||

Grain and nut proteins are not bioavailable much. Eat full fat yogurt and milk, just cut back portions to limit kcals. Cut the orange juice. Useless sugar. Eat more vegetables and fruits. More fiber than grains. Eat more meat. More protein than grains. Good job so far... diet could use some tweaks | ||

I need help!. I've been "cutting", I'm at 75-80kg on most days, and closer than 80kg to 75kg. I want to get that six pack abs and shit. But I don't know how to. Should I start doing more core excercises? I'm doing 1minute planks, leg raises, and other core stuff. Should I cut some suff from my diet? I'm drinking half a gallon of milk a day, and eating pretty clean, grilled chicken, salad, and stuff like that. Nothing too high on the carb train. Any ideas? I've also upped my squat form a regular 100-105kg to 115kg Comfortably, Deadlift from 110-120kg to 130-150kg. and Other lifts have improved too. I'm happy. I just want to know if there's anything else I can do. I don't mind getting bigger, as I'm eating like 3000kcal/day and lifting heavy, I'm also doing HIIT. Any tips would be cool :3. | ||

personally i dont really care for getting BIG quickly anymore (i did running up to my holiday but now ive got no target like that i can relax more) instead i want to find a maintainable lifestyle diet where i dont constantly WORRY (anxiety issues here) about everything and feel like shit because i underperform i found out how to cook chicken properly and nicely (fry it and add herbs lol) but cant afford chicken every day (trying to budget £25/week) only thing affordable is the mince beef again so im trying to find ways to flavour it and make it varied without having to buy sauces or expensive stuff like peppers. got a few herb suggestions in my blog and welcome more i wrote this down if anyones interested lol + Show Spoiler + chicken 432g (4 for £12) kcal 510 p 90 f 12 c 0 carrot tinned 300g (£0.17) kcal 75 p 1 f 1 c 15 mince beef 800g (£1.90) kcal 2560 p 130 f 224 c 0 egg large 90kcal 6p 7f 0c milk 1 litre 640kcal 32p 47c 36f 65+45= 110p 118f kcl = 250+1280+350+640 = 2540 potatoes tuna salad? 42p 1f 0c 185kcal £0.45 thyme tomato puree or chopped tomatoes sage 1. 432g chicken w carrots, olive oil, herb, vineger, pepper £3.50 2. 400g mince w potato, peas, herb £1.30 3. tuna, lettuce, sauce £0.75 4. eggs (5), lettuce, sauce £0.80 = £5.60/day, £40/week as you can see i only hit 2540kcal even with a milk and at £47/week if im eating chicken/pork *sigh* (will check this again later, sounds crazy. i can add more mince beef easily but i dnt wanna go back to being suicidal) i want to go on a zero or low carbs diet because i want to be an eskimo but damn | ||
