I've been told Kevin Costner in the past but recently a lot of people have told me I look like Green Bay Packer's QB Aaron Rodgers.

I'm a Psychology major at the University of Wisconsin. I've been considering getting a certificate in Computer Sciences though, I'm taking the intro course which is about learning JAVA. How difficult was learning java?

I hate Glenn Beck but Ive always thought that African-American is a totally hollow and inaccurate term.

Yeah saying age is another thing too but that one is understandable to me because age can be hard to determine a lot of times. Weight is just something that's right in your face and you can't hide it. Why is somebody embarrassed to give a number to something that is already known.

I'm bored and was just thinking how silly I think it is when people get so embarassed to tell their weight in a public place. It's always the cute little joke that you shouldn't ever ask a women's weight...and everyone learns this unwritten rule and never questions it.

BUT isn't it really silly? Your weight is written on your buttocks. If somebody is overweight you can usually tell... there's not really an effective way to hide 50 lbs so people can see it. I don't know...just something that bothers me.Are wereally so insecure that we can'tgive them a number to the mass that is sitting right in front ofthem even though EVERYBODY can clearly seewho is skinny and who is fat.

Be wary of internet advice when it comes to this stuff. Everyone always thinks they're experts. I see a person throwing the term glycogen and not even using it properly...you don't ingest glycogen-- your liver creates it. In terms of nutrition eat balanced. You can eat more fatty foods than what is normally advised, eat lots of complex carbohydrates, and don't worry so much about getting a ton of protein. Eat meats and nuts when you can but it's the biggest crock that you need 150g of protein per day. The average American diet contains high daily protein. Ask any doctorate in biology/physiology and they will tell you this. Try to eat high protein but at a point it becomes about calories...not protein. Plus you should know that metabolizing protein burns a lot of calories by itself....I remember reading something about how a fourth of the calories in an egg are used just to metabolize it...or something high like that. Our bodies are not meant to metabolize 150g of protein a day.

I meant glucose. Carbs are a mjor effector on glycogen in the body however. I keep scrambling them because my endocrine system final is tomrrow and it had been pounded into my head. Glycogen is broken down into glucose by glycogenolysis snf glycogen stores are hevily influenced by carbs. And it is a rule of thumb to eat .7-1g of protein per/day.

Alright...I didn't mean to target you. It's clear that you have taken clases in this kind of stuff so I didn't mean to demean you. As for your sources though, I wouldn't bet my life on any of those. That's why I get so frustrated with this kind of thing...everybody and their grandma Betsy knows everything because they get their info from websites like the ones you linked and from men's fitness magazines. Protein is obviously important to grow muscle and I would say that whatever a person's regular protein intake is they should increase it if they start lifting weights... but once you get to these high numbers like 150g /per day there's no way to conclusively say that extra protein is doing anything more than what extra calories would do. It's the same thing with multivitamins...you end up metabolizing it because your body has no use for it all.

I'll just say concentrate on high-protein, high-carb diet instead of the high-protein, low-carb diet that people always tell you. Carbs are not bad for you. I remember a friend commenting on how he thought a bagel was bad for him....I nearly pooped. Just another victim of the internet pseudo-science crap.

Hit the weight room. Concentrate on less repetitions and higher weight...maybe 10 rep/ per set. Mix up your workout. And eat. McDonald's is fine sometimes but there are healthier ways to get calories. Whey protein is fine but I would stay away from creatine. It facilitates ATP availability so you can do more repetitions but a lot of the extra mass will be water weight which will disappear when you stop using it.

There's no way to cheat it. Eat as much as you can keeping it balanced ( think the food pyramid) and do resistance training 3/4 times a week. I have the same build as you so you have to accept that the gains will be gradual.
