Quinoa is a good source for complex carb and is a complete protein as well, there is all kinds of ways and recipes you can use it in but when i eat it,i just cook it and eat it,i like keeping everything quick and simple,if you get it unprocessed it will have a outer shell on it that sum find a little bitter,hey bro congrats on the diet you set-up it looks good and its nice to see someone your age concentrating on that fact,also the follow up advice you got from your gym friend is sound advice,goodluck to ya bro.

Thanks a lot man - yeah I find it funny that at my age I'm a mentor to some of the older guys in the gym . I just kept taking it one step further from a young age - cut soda & candy, watched what I ate, ate a lot of protein, balanced out meals, then counted calories and did the research for it... feel like a walking encyclopedia - however I got a lot to learn & I will with a major in biology and will pursue courses in nutrition when my schedule clears up for it...

However, I'm going to carb-cycle for my next diet plan, starting in about 2 weeks, then after that I'm going to bulk and experiment with various foods I have neglected for lean-mass gain & cutting diets... DEFINITELY trying out the quinoa & tastes of foods don't bother me - half the stuff I eat I hate... so the healthier choice of quinoa is mine to try...

Update - found yellow swarm fat burners (25 mg ephedrine & 300mg caffeine) so I'm not doing an ECA stack (same thing really) ... doing one in the morning & one pre-workout or 5pm on non-workout days. How long should I continue this - take a break - the continue for? THANKS.

but as I was researching for an ECA stack and saw that fish oil dosages should not exceed 5g per day while on ECA stacks because they're damaging to your stomach ... hm I consume 14g per day ...so should I bump them down or was that a bunk fact?

Update - non-workout days I'm having 1/4cup almonds with pwo chicken instead of white rice (pro/fat instead of pro/carb).

Thinking about upping the creatine too to 20g per day (10 pre/10 post).. okay or overkill?
^On that note... a friend of mine working in GNC recommended taking creatine ethyl-ester while working small body parts and monohydrate while working larger body parts. Had the convo a long time ago -but remember him saying that the ethyl-ester promotes more growth -best for the smaller body parts. Any intake?

I think more than 10g per day of creatine is overkill.

Just thought I'd let you know I really like your diet man. I'm glad you're seeing the importance of trial and error and haven't become complacent.

I'd run an eca stack. Don't worry about dosing and putting it together yourself. Plenty of products like the old stacker 2 are available online and they have what you need. I saw great results with "yellow bullets".

Okay, noted with the creatine - I just figured it was time to bump it up since I've been taking 10g for over a month now - I think it's 2 months by now.

Thanks - yeah now that I look back on what I was asking in the past - I feel like such a dumb ass lol - but I don't truly know my way around other food sources because of the research I did - the food choices I'm using seem to be the best (brown rice v. whole wheat pasta, etc.).

ECA stack - well I noted above that I found yellow swarms (300mg caffeine & 25mg ephedrine) and I'm taking that currently - flew through my workout today, but wasn't as potent as I thought it would be ...

However, I have to cut all those fish oils out since I've read and asked about it - that over 5g fish oils with ephedrine is a NO NO - due to stomach problems I think? Anyway - I'm just going to do 2 fish oils & 1/4 cup almonds...but where do I place those almonds? In any meal in the beginning of the day for a pro/fat/carb meal or?

BTW - good to see you back! You're the guy that got the ball rolling for me - so thanks man... pretty sure you'll continue to for many others.
