I would add protein to my first meal...your body is reasting all night without any protein, you should consume some with your first meal.

How much protein are you taking in?

Oh yes cut out that brown sugar...

protein

I take in anywhere from 100-250 g daily

Here's my $0.02 gal

Can the brown sugar!! Use stevia as a sweetner (natural & non-toxic). If you "have to," use sacharrin or nutra sweet.

You stated in another post that you cut dairy, which should help "thin the skin." Make sure your protein drink is whey protein "isolate" (most lactose is removed) "Other" proteins like whey protein concentrate do not have very much lactose removed! I believe it's the lactose that thickens the skin and keeps you looking "smooth." Same goes for protein bars. And with the bars, they tend to use glycerol and DON'T count this as carbs.

I'm pre-contest now and wyldeone had me quit "drinking" meals (I "was" drinking as many shakes as you). He has me eating more lean red meat, chicken breasts, and fish. I've had MANY people tell me that you want to "cut" by eating real food and not by taking drinks. Maybe fathead will chime on this as he said the same thing - check out his pics in the picture forum.

thanks

Thanks for all of the ifno. Like I said before, I do not know much about this pre-contest stuff. Maybe it would be a good idea for me to start pre-packing whole foods on sundays so I am stocked for the week. Got any good variations/recipes? thanks
