Sources Of Protein?

[dallysingh101]

Are there other basic exercises you'd recommend for a beginner?

First thing (in your mind) break your body up into certain parts:

• Shoulders
• Arms (biceps and triceps)
• Back
• Core (abs and general mid-section)
• Legs (quads = front of top leg, hamstrings = back of top of legs, calves)

I'd suggest a mixture of weights and body weight exercises at this stage.

After you've been training for a year, you can try some creatine, but get that year of training out first.

Doctors don't give out vitamins, supplements unless there is a deficiency.

Overload of vitamins is not good either. So only take them if needed and within the recommended daily intakes.

Best thing to do is to have a blood test to make sure you are not deficient in anything, then your doctor will advise accordingly.

Vitamin D and B12 are not normally tested within the full blood test, so one may have to request them.

Jkvlondon penji has some good alternatives.

These are just examples from the Internet, but your doctor may have publications for the public.

You have to be careful, some of the high protein foods are also high in carbs!

That's why it's important to get advise either from a dietician/nutritionist or a personal trainer if one is doing exercise.

It also depends on how much one is having, if it's in high amounts or whether it's balanced with other foods.

Vitamin supplements are not usually need as suggested above BUT MINERAL supplements are necessary.>>we lose out on minerals because of the stuff sprayed on veg and fruit>>>you know your fresh apple from grocery store has 22 different chemicals sprayed on it ??

>>problem is that nearly all multi mineral supplements come with vitamins. >>>so you wanna take a ggood look at mineral content and not worry about vits.

I used to eat a lot of broccoli as well and this is good source of protein>>>>>>>>the shakes should be limited and only used if you really pumping out or post heavy workouts. Or you could also use the new amino acid drinks for after workout to help with maintaining.

I've worked with a trainer for a few years >>that's why dopey me wannabe knows a thing or two

Seriously man>>>check out Protein content of BROCOLLI because it is super high >>>someone told a guy at gym it was more than steak.

the best bit is that it also has NO FAT but you will fart away most nights but feel good about it :)

I was asking this to know what is the best alternate from meat to get sources of Protein? Is it multivitamins, or real food, or some protein shakes and whatnot+

Raw spinach leaves (as part of a salad, uncooked), cottage cheese, and cucumber (believe it or not). These are easily available, and can be incorporated into a healthy desi diet with the minimum of fuss.

Oh, and porridge!! Then start pumping some loha like it's about to go out of fashion.

I'm willing to buy simple equipment, (nothing over the top).

How much of a budget have you got?

Plus what country you in?

[MisterrSingh]

I'd imagine a barbell, dumbbells, and various sized plates would do for now. And a bench if you're feeling a bit adventurous.
