With such a topic so broad we truly try to cover the basics from all angles in this group. Nothing too big or too small. Nutrition is as significant if not more as exercise is to reaching your goals so learn all you can.

Example - I mix protein powder with 16oz water but I want to drink a gallon of water a day. Would you count the 16oz towards the gallon? -------------- There is no substitute for hard work

I don't see a problem with a shake, but when people start counting coffee in their water count, that's when it gets a little odd. I usually try to drink over a gallon of plain water every day... t -------------- Tim "I count him braver who overcomes his desires than him who conquers his enemies, for the hardest victory is over self."
