Are we allowed to cook the eggs? I put Olive oil in a pan, put some onions in the pan, stir till lightly light brown, then put the eggs in there, and stir, till golden brown.

I also put salt and milk in my eggs when I'm scrambling them is that healthy? I also put pepper and tapatio hot sauce on the eggs. Is anyone of this acceptable?

all of that is fine, but you're now working on a different diet. effort meant a whey shake with raw eggs in it. there's a reason he labeled this 'simple starting diet' -- it's really straight forward.

i discovered once that unsalted butter makes eggs stick less, if you're cooking them a lot. i add a bit of whole milk, half and half or heavy cream in my scrambled eggs, depending on what's around. makes 'em creamy.

Also for the beef, how should it be cooked?

any way you want. easiest way is to brown some ground beef in a fry pan with a bit of olive oil (the higher the fat content, the less oil you need), add whatever flavors you like, heat up some veggies separately and combine for a beef + veggies meal.

If I'm trying to lose weight(fat), should I drink a protein shake?

they can be great for fat loss IF you are getting ones that aren't loaded down with fat & sugar.

seriously

 

[kickureface]

what are the ingredients in the shake for the shake+eggs?
i know some people like to put in many things in there, such as pb, oats, fruit, etc. or are you referring to just whey+water?
just out of curiosity, what's the purpose of the eggs, other than its anabolic effects? reduce absorption rate?

Here's a helpful tool for figuring out just how much you really need to eat.

Here's the Harris Benedict Formula for Men:
BMR = 66 + (13.7 X weight in kilos) + (5 X height in cm) - (6.8 X age in years)

Then you need to factor in your activity level.
If you are Sedentary (little or no exercise)
Calorie-Calculation = BMR X 1.2
If you are Lightly Active (light exercise/sports 1-3 days/week)
Calorie-Calculation = BMR X 1.375
If you are Moderately Active (moderate exercise/sports 3-5 days/week)
Calorie-Calculation = BMR X 1.55
If you are Very Active = BMR X 1.725 (hard exercise/sports 6-7 days/week)
Calorie-Calculation = BMR X 1.725
If you are Extra Active (very hard daily exercise/sports & physical job or 2X day training)
Calorie-Calculation = BMR X 1.9

Here's an example:
You are 25 years old
You are 6 feet tall
Your weight is 220 pounds
Your BMR is 66 + (1370) + (914) - (170) = 2,180 calories

Here's my calculation:

I'm roughly 20 years old
5'9"
185lbs
BMR is 66 + (1150) + (875) - (136) = 1,955 calories

Use the activity calculation with the answer. From the chart, estimated activity is BMR x 1.60.

MR = 1,955 x 1.6
MR = 3,128 calories per day.

good to know. not 100% accurate, but its a fairly good indicator.

yep.. would be interested to know what constitutes a "shake"? it could be something as simple as whey+water or +fruit+oats+++ etc.. so what is a "shake" in this instance?

 

[I-tallionStallion]

It depends on goals you have I think.

If you are looking to bulk I would say 2-3 scoops whey, water, 4 eggs, 1 cup oats, 1/2 cup berries or a banana, 1 serving nat peanut butter + taurine would be a good starter shake.

 

[Quiksilver]

Some simple shakes that did the job for me awhile back were

preworkout

water
1 scoop whey isolate(30g)
1 scoop creatine ethyl ester(30g)
1 scoop glutamine(5g)

postworkout

water
2 scoops whey isolate
2 scoops glutamine

--

Personally I don't like the texture of mixing oats with the shake, I used to down 1/2 a cup of oats preworkout though, and 1 cup postworkout. Sometimes had a piece of fruit(apple, banana) preworkout if I was feelin a little sluggish.

People also seem to add raw eggs and peanut butter to their shakes, but I never really bothered with that stuff.

Fitday = lame. Useless for people looking to gain weight, won't even let you try to put in a higher weight as a goal. High-larious.

Anyone know a better fitness tracker?
