I take the NOS Blast, half pre-work out and the other half during. Doesn't taste too bad and gives you a little juice!

Just a couple of things. Remember that your body can only absorb protein in moderate amounts. Most sudies find that to be between 50-60grm at a time. Of course, you will have to work with that. When I was hitting the gym heavy in Iraq, I was taking in 225grms plus every single day. If you start off doing that amount, its going to tear your insides up, lol.

So just go with 1 to 1.5grms of protein per your BMI, not total weight, for trying to pack on muscle. You can do 2 for the extreme. Don't forget that if you are trying to pack on muscle, you can't do it without carbs. They help to carry the protein into the cells. On top of that, they provide you with your basis of energy throughout your day and including your workout. A good ratio for putting on the muscle is 4 grms of carbs for every 1 grm of protein. It may seem like a lot but were talking about packing on muscle right?

A good mix for toning and losing weight is a protein/carb/fat ratio of 40/40/20.
