Hilly, One thing i always notice is what comes across as how you really encourage a good relationship with food for your clients. Not missing nights out or meals with love ones for example. I see you say its very easy to count a steak and chips out with the missus into your daily macros.One of my biggest problems is getting too stuck into the detail which leads me to this question. Obviously when you eat out not all restaurants give a macro breakdown of food like nandos do, so when you say clients can do this is it just a case of using a best guestimate as in the long run +-100 calories or so probably wont matter too much if only once a week and to not stress yourself too much about it?

Hi Sam. I certainly do for all clients in most situations. I’ve worked on a specialist children’s eating disorders unit for several years and have seen how so many problems develop with relationships to food n how damaging it can be. I then see a lot of this by ridiculous Coaches telling clients they can’t do this or have that. So for example if your meal plan says chicken n rice you can have this in any restaurant. Yes there may be a few extra kcal but unless your in comp prep this is not a worry. It’s also very normal to go n have something you want once or twice a week and if this is built into the plan it’s no issues. Again this doesn’t count for those wanting to compete at the very top or push to goals well above there genetic potential

Hi mate yeah it comes across really well mate and has also impacted how i am dieting myself now too. One thing though you say building it into your plan, what do you do when some restaurants dont give out nutritional info. Do you just do your best estimate and leave those calories aside? Thhanks as always mate

Yeh I just estimate it n pick foods I have in my current meal plan[/quote]

Ok mate thanks, like i said my best skill is to stress about the detail haha!

its bulkpowders, they dont put any nutrient breakdown for EAAS same as supplement needs to do not for their product either

Just a breakdown of the actual amino content

[Samus]

I checked my packaging on EAAS from bulk powders, there are no nutrient information i.e cals etc

Just a breakdown of what amino acids are actually in the product, how would you work out the calories?

[Samus]

Whey into Greek yoghurt sounds quite nice might give that a go!

Fish , beef and chicken just feels wrong in the morning with me haha!! I might grab some of beef/chicken sausages though and then cook with eggs in the morning like you guys have said

Thanks guys !!

[Samus]

Why not drop the step target to around 7k? Your off season and that will still be a good amount imo. That was my minimum all off season.

Hi mate i think thats what i’ll do

When i was dieting 10k steps and cardio wasnt a problem, because at the end of the day its required unless you want to eat minimal food haha.

But yeah its getting a bit mentally challenging just never feeling like im “chilling” out etc in the evenings, especially now im trying to add a little size etc.

Thanks for replying all!

[Samus]

Hi mate, do you notice any difference between using the beef protein from bulkpowders compared to a more expensive whey isolate?

Also i know you have said you give clients a more premium product and then you link to a bulk powders product? Do you notice any difference between clients who utilize the expensive vs the more cheaper?

Thanks in advance and thanks for keeping log updated, always read it.

Hello buddy.

So any premium isolate still gives me issues. I can’t touch dairy at all.

Year round I use beef iso when need to from bulk powders. It digests good , cheap n tastes ok.

During prep I buy the more expensive MRE lite or a vegan one as these are thicker n I can make into a paste / ice cream for taste but that’s only time I justify cost.

Usually I prefer as much whole food as possible

My pleasure buddy ????????

Thanks for reply mate. Can I ask how much protein is too much to grab from a source like the bulkpowders hydroBeef? If I was eating 250g of protein a day would 100 from the beef whey be too much in your opinion?

[Samus]

Not dieting, actually just came out of a diet and now looking to really try and gain some tissue

I just thought it’s a good idea to keep your activity at a decent level whilst adding raising food

I used them, bloods were shocking and pip was awful

Although you do see lots saying they have great success so who knows lol

[Samus]

For health supps – supplement needs/amazon

For pre workouts and proteins –
branded – sup needs

Good quality cheaper – bulk powders

fact is bulk powders stuff is very good no doubt and cheaper – their protein powders are fantastic, tested and good quality. I have used their beef iso for years and tried the yamamoto one a couple of months ago and they are identical in every way just more expensive.

In terms of pre workouts – theres are ok but pale in comparison to something like prepare as do their intra powders but its a ‘you get what you pay for’ kind of things.

I put links to both sup needs and bulk powders for all my clients and let them choose based on budget. Not many want to spend all there free cash on expensive supps the same as not all would spend what I do on sunglasses lol. that doesn’t mean you cant get decent ones cheaper

How does the beef iso taste and mix mate?
Any recommendations on flavours might give that a go considering the price !!

[Samus]

I had a friend use it and blood work come back terrible so I stayed far away after that

[Samus]

Wow what an in depth answer, thanks for the reply mate!
