Thank you all for your suggestions for earlier query. I have joined the GYM & 1st month over & i am into second month. I felt very happy to get likeminded people community. I am grateful to be part of it & bunch of thanks to SHAPEFIT.
I am a software pro & eat almost outside food except morning breakfast. This is diet. Please advise me & I will try to change diet.
Early Morning at 4:30AM: 1 BANANA & 1 Egg White before going to GYM
5AM to 6:30AM: Hit the GYM
Breakfast (7:30AM): 4 egg whites, ½ cup of Soy beans (60seeds), 2nos brown bread & 1glass of milk with protein powder
Mid-Morning Snack(11AM): peanuts (30seeds),
Lunch(1PM): Chicken soup & chicken with either noodles or brown rice ( Just started eating chicken last month onwards )
Mid-Afternoon Snack(5PM): fruit salads with vegetables juice
Dinner(It varies; at any cost i would finish it b4 9PM) : vegetable curries with brown rice (one full cup) & glass of milk with protein powder.
I have few doubts on various topics
1. What is the best time to HIT the GYM. (I go early morning hours 5AM to 6:30AM)
2. How cardio is important to build the good physique & which one is the best cardio workout (I do walking & jumping rope)
3. How many days are preferable to work out in a week (I do 5days a week. I don't go on weekends)
4. What is the importance of water as everybody says drink more water.
5. How much amount of SOYA & PEANUTs can I consume in a day. Please tell me in numbers (for instances soy beans 40seeds, Peanuts: 40seeds). Is this suffice to consume per a day
6. Do warm-up exercises require post workout..if yes..WHY?
7. Do I really require to go for protein powders as everybody says we should have protein shake immediately after workout to tone the muscles. If yes…which one I can go for (WHEY or Creatine?), what about SOY PROTIEN
8. How many hours sleep is required in a day. (I sleep 6hours)
9. Is it right way to have 1BANANA & 1 EGG white pre workout; If not..what is the right thing to have pre workout. ( i get tired if i hit the GYM with EMPTY stomach & not able to workout even for 30mins)
10. As everybody says we should have brown rice; Could you please let me know what all ingredients brown rice contains & uses of brown rice
11. Should we continue the diet even when we don't go to GYM also?
12. As few people say.we become bulky if stop going GYM...Is there an fact in that statement
Thanks,
Narendra P

well thank you too...
- read the sticky in this sewction for food lay outs and follow whatever plan suits your timetable
- read and memorise all the rules, ecpsecially the "protien everytime you eat" rule
- food isn't too bad so a couple of changes and you'll be set....prepare, prepare, prepare
1 - when it suits you
2 - somewhat important but it depends on what sort of cardio you do with some being better then others...go to fat loss section and read fat loss article in there, not sure if it's stickied but it's on the first page which goes into detail about "cardio that burns fat" and the "hierarchy of fitness"
3 - 5 sessions is good but the sewcret is dont take 2 days off in a row so you'll need sat workout...mon/wed/fri/sat is the best wt workout lay out with cardio/hiit/sprints on 1 - 2 other days
4 - high importance, the body is 70% water...that should be enough incentive there
5 - no one could tell you an actual number to have...maybe 1cp a day combined for a wild guess, not that i actrually eat nuts...just a stab in the dark there
6 - not sure what you mean here...
7 - yes for shake after training but not to tone muscles but to recover as quick as you can...you cvan't grow muscle until it is recovered...if it doesn't recover (of which you have a 45min window after training to do so) then it can't grow so you waste every workout you don't do this for...just get a whey protein powder, not creatine...soy isn't so great i don't think...not bad but not great
8 - 6 at a bare minimum, i get 6.5 - 7.5 each week night...love weekend sleep ins though
9 - great iudea to eat before training...fruit and protein is the way to go so you're already there...make this meal as big as you can without it affecting your wrokout
10 - i don't...if you do have it, make it the meal straight after training and no other...same with bread, pasta and sugary cerial
11 - diet is the same except you wonlt have post training meal
12 - no there isnl;t, you get fat and your muscle shrinks back to it's pre training size

I have one more small query...Can i daily workout for arms to make them big.i heard that we should not daily workout for arms. if we daily workout for arms, it will never grow as we desired. Is it True.
problem is " arms are just getting tighten day by day but not developing the mass muscle to the arms.
Could you please advise me in getting bigger arms.
