That was a rhetorical question. You can only estimate the calories used when asleep as they can vary from day to day and hour to hour.

The point was, who knows if it was 20% of a pound of muscle or 10%...it was taking things in the wrong direction...and so you can be aware of that and maybe try to avoid the food part and minimize the alcohol part.

Keep living your life...just understand some of the effects better..better informed. No need to freak about it.

How many calories do you burn while sleeping...

i read somewhere that it was 1.5 cals. per minute so thats 90 cals in an hour and if i sleep for 8 hours which i usually do its an avrage of 720 cals. thats alot of calories is that right?

i can't believe this, do you think it was a serious amount?

my body's not getting any rest.

Rest is key for fat loss and muscle repair.

Fun is important for life...so balance balance balance!

what is EAA and where can i get it for my pre workout.

Essential Amino Acids
Available in Whey!

When i got home at 2:30 i at a banana becaseu i was hungry and very sleepy so i didn't have much time until i was passing out. When i woke up though my muscles felt sore kinda like the day after a workout but not in a good way. I have been drink as much water as i should be eather if that helps.

A banana is not a supportive meal. It is a sugar. Sugars lock in fat stores. (Alcohol is a sugar too.) When you lock in fat stores, the body goes looking for other sources of energy...mmm look at all that muscle! And you go catabolic and lose muscle.

Look at that last link I posted...
A lean protein
A starch
A fiber

i.e. an emergency meal:
Turkey breast slices
Banana
Celery

Just about everyone sells BCAAs.

i have like 1/3 of a nitro-tech tub left over from when i used to workout before. Is it ok to used that as Whey meal replacement and pre/post workout?

Calories: 110
Total Fat: 1.5g
Total Carbohydrates: 3g
Protein: 20g

That could be the protein part pre and post but you need the carbs.
Not a meal replacement without carbs, fat and a fiber.

oh ya and is there a workout that will focus more on building my muscle for size rather then strenght.

Start with Reps in the 15-20 range. A short and focused workout, a cool down and hit the shower! Yes I am talking about a 1-set per bodypart full body workout. M-W-F or any 3 non consecutive days.

Then work on a few weeks of stength...then go on to muscle building for a month or so...then go through some endurance work and repeat the cycle..

Look here for set rep ranges for each type of training

i'm not stalling i just want every thing to be right before i start. do you know any stores (not internet) that have BCAA. so i can get it quick. and btw i have like 1/3 of a nitro-tech tub left over from when i used to workout before. Is it ok to used that as Whey meal replacement and pre/post workout?

BCAA are more efficient. No digestion.
But the combination in the PWO post is a maximum anabolic combination.

Start training now. Stop stalling.

oh and btw the protine shake can replace the BCAA in the pre and post wokout right? i wana gain the most from my supps and training. The protin shake i would think would be more effichent becasue it has protine and BCAA's in it. What is your opinion on what works better?

It is true tyeh outmeal is very high fiber and could have slowed things down...be sure you get 0.55 ounces per bodyweight pound of water.

Anyway...In a few days that might change.

i was just wondering, i used to need to go the bathroom pretty much regulary, but ever since i started eating the otmeals few days back i basicly never need to. i was wondering if the otmeal would have something to do with this. Not complaining or anything, i don't feel sick when eating alot of food anymore and don't worry about eating too much because i might have an upset stomag.

What you have to figure out is either the pre-cook measure and add the milk after or cook more and measure out what you need.

If it was watery...add more oats...trial and error my friend.

1 cup of dry with 2 cups of water...
I prefer it to sit for just a bit to soak up more water before I eat it. Otherwise I get an upset stomach when it soaks up the water from my belly!
