Which Myoplex do I want to use??

Plano · 01-07-2010

Hey everyone! I have looked and looked for this answer today and cant seem to find what I want to know. I am just getting ready to start the BFL program and want to know which Myoplex to use, the regular one or the lite? I am 5'8 and 310 lbs. I want to loose about 100 lbs of fat and I realize I will gain weight in muscle tissue. My main concern is how much I will be working out with weights for right now. Would I be better off with the lite if my weight training is below what the program is listing? Or will I still benefit from the higher protein of the regular Myoplex? My goal is to eat 6 times a day but with a MRP for at least 4 of them.

Any help would be great,
Plano

Hi Plano, welcome to the forum!

I'm still in my first challenge and haven't incorporated Myoplex into my meals yet (although I do have some regular Myoplex, and some of the Advantedge (sp?) in my cupboard waiting to be opened) ... one thing I wanted to ask was about your comment of "My goal is to eat 6 times a day but with a MRP for at least 4 of them." -- I've read that it's actually better to include more "whole foods" when you can vs. doing the shake thing as an automatic action ... use the shakes more for convenience sakes rather than the ideal. Do you have a pretty hectic schedule that might make it difficult to bring whole food along? I've found so far that making bigger batches of food at a time, and putting the leftovers in tupperware has worked great. I also keep some meal fixin's in the fridge at work so I'm not caught short there.

What day does your challenge start? Great way to begin 2010!

The main reason I am thinking of doing less whole foods is due to my work week (12-14 hrs a day 6 days aweek) plus I think it will be easier for me to stick with it at the start if I have RTD shakes sitting in my cooler just waiting for me. Currently I am getting 2 meals aday from fast food and either skipping the 3rd meal or grabbing what ever junk I have sitting in the fridge. If I can do a shake for breakfast and snack, do a right portion lunch and have either a shake or EAS bar for afternoon snack that leaves me a good portion dinner and another snack I can grab with whole foods.

Monday is going to be my offical start date to track the 12 weeks I am spending the last few days of this week getting use to taking my tail to the gym and getting checked out by the doc. (blood pressure, % of body fat, lean mass index, ect ect.)

Anyway thanks for the welcome.

Kewl that makes sense. Esp. for a change from your current diet, you will probably notice awesome results right away! :thumbsup:
