2. What is the take on yoghurt....I like to have a serve a day with protein poweder as a snack? Would that just count as my milk once a day serve? And is this enough calcium?
3. What is your take on soy protein? I usually use soy protein isolate as my protein powder?
4. I have a fair amount of fat to lose but wouldn't mind gaining some muscle too....is this diet just for fat loss....and if i was doing body comp training (EDT/TT/Meltdown training) would i want to eat below maintenance or above (I know it says you don't have to count calories) but as a general guide I'd love to know some thoughts?
5. What do you do about training PWO meals etc if you work out twice a day?
6. Is 'Sustagen good for post/during/pre workout nutrition?
Thanks to anyone who replies. I am starting to get my training into gear but it is definately my nutrition I need help with...
As I stated i need to lose fat, but I definately cannot afford to lose muscle and need to gain some....just thought i'd throw that in so that people know where I am coming from

1. Yep. Peas can be your starchy carb. Pea pods/snap peas are on the border. You generally eat so little of the actual peas and more of the pods.
2. Enough calcium? Probably.
3. Why soy? If possible, go with a milk based protein for your powder. If you can't then soy is ok. Also look into pea, rice, and hemp proteins.
4. There have been people who have lost fat and gained muscle on Adam's Diet. To do so, I would save my carby meals for the meal immediately following your weight workouts. The size of the meal is something to experiment. This period provides the opportunity to really put those carbs and protein to work.
5. Two weight workouts? If so, and you really think you are working out hard enough, then do the workout drinks twice. If one workout is cardio, then skip the workout drinks for that workout.
6. Sustagen Sport? Do you have the nutrition and ingredients? I can't find it on the web.
