Well i know water displacement is a better tool, but thats why you get it tattooed on your body where you’re going to measure from everytime 😛 i’ve seen a little bit of change in my actualy body, but mostly in my face ---

> [@joelster](#): > > It has to do with how much water volume your body displaces when you are submerged. They weigh you in a special tank and measure how high the water level goes when you are dunked. The fatter you are, the more water you will displace at any given bodyweight. Its not Volume, its weight, you can take a smaller guy with 20% body fat and have a person the same size with low body fat displace the same amount of water volume. [My Webpage](http://www.quickmedical.com/health_information/weight_management/underwater_weighing.html) its weighing. ---

one thing I’ve learned is that all these supliments are a waste of money… all you need is food and throw in some protein to help get to where you need to be. ---

My creatine I take works pretty good, i recover alot faster, but i’ve been very consistent for once, and i dont know if that also has to do with the strength increase. But either way i also got a month supply on sale for 19.99, it’s called Trinitine, look it up it’s supposed to be ver advanced stuff, also does NOT say proprietary blend. ---

No supplements here. But then again my aim isn’t to get huge since that would be derogatory to my running program. We will be doing max-outs next Thursday, will be sure to post back here ---

creatine monohydrate has shown time and again to help with muscle recovery. All the supplement and proprietary blend creatin powders are a waste of money, just buy creatine monohydrate. ---

I have a fast metabolism and it’s very tough to gain weight from working out alone, what should I eat/take to help out? I don’t take any supplements or anything just vitamins. ---

> [@joelster](#): > > Your diet is pretty deficient for someone looking to put on weight. Don’t feel too bad though, most adults eat less than 75 grams of protein a day. It’s very tough eat 300grams on food alone, you usually need to supplement it with a shake or 2. > > You want some cheap protein? I would head to Wegmans or Tops and buy a few big bags of frozen chicken strips. The kind that are already cooked/breaded made by Banquet. There are 8 servings of 12grams each, so 96 grams of protein for $5.99. Just grab 5 or 6 of then and toss them on a plate and nuke them for 2 minutes, done. I notice you don’t eat anything right when you get up, that’s wrong. You should have SOMETHING right away. You don’t want to go to the gym on an empty stomach unless you are doing cardio and trying to burn fat. > > If I were you i’d try something like this… > > 1. Wake up, 5 chicken strips: 30grams > 2. Protein shake after gym + 1 cheese stick: 38 grams > 3. Breakfast: cereal+ **BIG glass of milk** =35 grams > 4. around 10: more chicken strips= 30 grams > 5. sandwich and shake for lunch: 45 grams > 6. at work between calls: **LOTS** ofcheese sticks and yogurt only=40 grams > 7. meat based dinner: 40 grams > 8. more chicken just before bed: 30 grams > > total= 288 grams of protein, around 3400 cals give or take. A bag of that chicken will last you a day and a half or so. A bag of string cheese will last you a day and a half as well. I’m worried about your time you spend at work though. Is there any way to cook food while you are at work? this edit: i just noticed he said have chicken strips for breakfast, ew lol ---
