Some people have asked me how I eat, so I decided to post where I got my information from. There is a TON of info on this site, so please check it out, read it all. http://www.leehayward.com

Oh, a side note…here’s a picture of the dude…this is the kind of back I want, real broad: http://www.leehayward.com/2004pics/back_nov24.jpg

So it sounds like you want to put on oodles of muscle. Cool!  What's your height and weight now?  Have you mentioned this before?

Yes, but because you’re new I’ll explain it again. 🙂

I want to get as big as physically possible (without steroids or other severe supplements).
I joined this forum because I loved looking at the art and wanted to contribute some.
I’m not looking for anyone romantically, nor do I want to be the one girl that is a tease on forums. Try to think of me as one of the guys as much as humanly possible.
I’m 5’7 and had to lose 35 pounds to join the Marines. I lost 37 and enlisted, putting me at 161. I have since gained 3 pounds…all muscle, I hope. I’ll be buying some calipers today to track my body fat.
I started a muscle-gain photo series. I’ll be posting the second installment on Wednesday. I am using them to track my progress, but because some of you are interested, I post them on this forum. Also, apparently I’m an inspiration for some, and if I can inspire people to work out by posting silly pictures of me and my meager muscles, then that’s a good thing.

A little pretentious, are we?
I think he just wanted your height and weight, not you phone number  🙄

I've had problems where people flood my inbox because they think I'm here because I want to get hit on. I figure it's best to let him know right off the bat that I'm not interested in that.

Haha, sure.  I guess a flood of 3, maybe 4 private messages almost killed your hard-drive before.

No, it was more like 9, several days in a row. No one said anything about a slowing of my computer…it was just annoying as hell.

I don't know what your problem is. I didn't do anything to you.

Dude that's enough, seriously let's get back on topic.

I was just making fun, honestly 😛
But your response to Blulew came out as uncalled for.  I could say, "I don't know what Riddick's problem with Blulew is, he didn't do anything to her."  It was as less offensive than your assumption that Blulew was after your digits and your knickers  😆

But, there is a topic so let's talk about that.

On one of your links, the diet layout, it gives this advice to those who want to lose weight while gaining muscle.  It says,

You should eat 0.4 grams of fat per pound of bodyweight each day.

As a guy with an Endomorphic body type, that is to say chubby, I'm pretty quick to question any advice that I should eat fat.
What is your experience with fat levels while getting into shape?

I liked the first link you gave, especially the beginners section.
"DON'T GET CAUGHT UP IN MINUTIA – FOCUS ON FUNDAMENTALS" seems like an excellent tip, and includes the word "minutia," which is a plus.

If it was all in good fun, then no harm done. I see the problem here, though:

I didn’t assume anything about Blulew. I was just being clear as to who I am and what I’m about to make sure he, and anyone who read it, didn’t assume anything about me. Like I said, I have had to deal with this before. As far as I know, he’s a normal guy not looking to hit on me or anything, and unless he does something to shake that impression, it’s how I’ll think of him. You just get the dorks that think “Hey, chick you likes muscles in a muscle forum, SHE MUST BE HERE SO I CAN HIT ON HER!!!1111ONE” and thus I’m hit on. Or “wow, she posted a pic, that means she digs me!” People misinterpret things all the time (even here, I didn’t know you were joking), so I wanted to take a precaution. For some guys, when a chick answers a question he asked about her (even something as stupid as “how tall are you?”), he takes that as me flirting with him even if all I say is “5’7.” I know, it sounds stupid and unrealistic, but trust me, it happens. And if it sounds stupid and unrealistic, good for you for not being one of those dorks.
But yeah, I didn't think he was hitting on me. Just on the off-chance that he was or might, or that anyone who did or might reads my comment to him, now they know.

Naturally, you want to make sure to eat GOOD fats…aka, the mono- and poly-unsaturated stuff, as found in nuts and salmon for example. Stay away from saturated fat. You probably knew this, but in case you didn’t, you do now.
When I was on a weight-loss diet, I strayed from as many fats as I could, except for in salmon because I know Omega-3 fatty acids are good for you. I wouldn’t eat nuts and I stayed as low-fat as possible. Fats scared the crap outta me.
Now that I’ve lost the weight and am on a bodybuilding regimen, I do consume fat because Lee Hayward (the dude on the link) says to do so. You know, it’s how it all works together and I’ve heard this from more than one place, but only Mr. Hayward has ever presented me a formula 🙂 In conjunction with eating good fats, I upped my protein intake and am taking Zinc (natural muscle builder) and Kelp (iodine for a healthy thyroid) supplements, I have increased my strength dramatically in the past two weeks. Well, dramatically to me, I don’t know what people usually gain. In the past two weeks, I almost doubled my bicep strength, and in the past week (incidentally, I started eating more fats in the past week), I am now doing almost as much weight with one arm on the rowing machine as I did with two arms (I fractured one of my fingers, so it’s all one-handed rows until she heals).

Ah yes, brains + brawn 😀
