just how many calories do our bodies use over the course of a nights worth of rest? Does anyone really know? If you eat a bunch of calories prior to retiring, do those calories get used to build muscle or do they just sit there and turn into fat?
Like a lot of you, I get late night snack attacks. Like I said, I generally turn to cheese to satisfy them, but I have been known to drink a protein drink right before going to bed for the night. Lately I have been taking a more long term look at my caloric and protein intake. Maybe this is because I am not expending the calories I was a few months ago and maybe it is because we get confused as to what we need to consume in order to gain muscle.
Whether it be PED's or diet, the ultimate muscle building success comes from working out with progressively heavier resistance over a long period of time. All the shortcuts we come up with seem to have less then a lasting effect and sometimes are detrimental to our health. There has been lots of evidence to support what I am saying. And yet many of us, including me, choose to ignore this in favor of the quick fix results. How's this working out for you all?
A few cycles of D-bol and my current regime of HRT have served me well. I may not be a pro competitive bodybuilder, but I am in a hell of a lot better shape then most of my contemporaries. But then, we are talking about a lifetime commitment to hitting the gym and with only a smattering of PED's over the years.
