^^ good post
im just wanting to remind everyone: Ash is uneducated when it comes to bodybuilding nutrition so dont overhwelm him. instead, give him links which will help him learn. because im afraid he's just going to get scared reading some of the posts here (mine too).
ASH: dont worry about it. u need to eat a lot of protein. protein powders are good for u. i used to be afraid of them at one time (and i am fucking petrified of all supplements in general) but i got convinced into having whey and im very happy with the results. dont be afraid to consume protein. its important if u want to get big or strong or both or lean or all three. protein is the key. remember that. if ur having biryani then forget the protein because biryani fucking rocks
