so my question to you is, did you say that the diet you posted was 2500 calories? if so, is there something you could add for it to be 3000-4000 calories per day? also i saw you eat chicken breast alot... what do you do with it so you dont get bored? like what types of ways do you cook it. finally, how can you buy so much chicken breast at once? doesnt it go bad after a few days... cuz im not trying to go to the store every 3 days lol

im in great shape right now but my diet is ass... i have kept getting stronger over the past year but my diet is holding me back from becoming beast mode... i just cant add weight with my current diet... and theres only so much strength you can add without increased mass.

Duke I hope you don’t take this the wrong way but your diet regime needs a complete overhaul.

Duke, if you wanna add calories, try oils and stuff. Calorie dense stuff. Just add nuts and olive oil and peanut butter to every meal. That will make your calories go super high. You can seriously put olive oil on whatever and you won't really taste it.

In my fitness thread, there's a list of suggested foods.

My passion in life is fitness and nutrition. I live, sleep, and breath anything related to fitness and nutrition. Unfortunately there is no money to be made when it comes to being a personal trainer or a nutritionist which is why I haven’t quit my day job to pursue a career in the fitness industry.

I know exactly what you mean about the guys who only do chest and arms and think they are husk I see it everyday at the gym. Those individuals have absolutely no clue how to train properly. By the way if you were to take those same individuals over to the pull-up bar and tell them to do as many wide grip pull-ups as possible they are lucky to complete 3 at the very most.

I’m glad to hear that you are reading Men’s Health magazine and that you are finding it very helpful. Have you read Men’s Fitness magazine? I think you would enjoy that as well it’s packed with tons of useful information. Men’s Fitness magazine is now the new Men’s Health magazine. Men’s Health magazine isn’t what it use to be years ago which is why a couple of my closest friends have decided to free lance to other publications like Men’s Fitness magazine.

Interval training is the only way to go. The only time I would ever recommend steady state cardio is if you are training for a marathon or if it’s a regeneration day meaning that it’s a relaxation day and you want to do something to stay active.

I don’t have myspace or facebook my life isn’t that important enough to where people would care what I’m doing. I will be more than happy to talk to you over the phone regarding pursuing a career in sports medicine.

There is no need to apologize to me I’m the one that should be apologizing you were just defending a product that you believe in. Never apologize for what you believe in no matter who may disagree with you. It doesn’t matter what anyone else thinks what matters is your opinion and your opinion alone.

Take care,

Dan

Hey man no problem I forgive ya haha. Yeah fitness and nutrition is something I am starting to take very seriously as well at my 19 years of age haha, its awesome. But yeah I have read Men's Fitness as well. I just like Men's Health better, maybe I should look more into Men's Fitness though now that you said that. About the interval training, what would you recommend for somebody like me who bikes one to two times a week and runs once or twice a week?? Thanks a lot Dan.

Oh and that remark on dudes who only care about bench press and curls, taking them over to the pull up bar and only being able to do 3 wide grip pull ups. IS STRAIGHT UP HILARIOUS AND TRUE! lol.
