All BFG is trying to say with the juice is, it is very caloric for the benefit you'll get. A bit of orange juice isn't a bad thing, but 5 glasses is a lot. You could have one glass, one real orange, and them something else more filling and substantial for the same amount of calories, and without the HUGE sugar load.

Here is what 5 cups of OJ looks like:

Amount Per 5 cup Calories 659.85
Calories from Fat 0
% Daily Value * Total Fat 0g 0% Saturated Fat 0g 0% Polyunsaturated Fat 0.124g Monounsaturated Fat 0.124g Cholesterol 0mg 0% Sodium 24.9mg 1% Potassium 522.9mg 15% Total Carbohydrate 166.83g 56% Dietary Fiber 0g 0% Protein 2.49g 5% Alcohol 0g

650 calories?!? You could eat a Big Mac and be better. And over 150g of sugar.

Use BFG's advice, have A glass, an orange, and something else (like nuts, lean protein, veggies, protein shake, whatever.)

Ah... cool. I wouldn't like to have five glasses every day, anyway.

I'll continue to check out some of these other links...

I may be oversimlifing here but the problem with the food pyramid, or any diet plan, is not the plan itself but the follow through. I guess what I'm saying is find a plan you like (a healthy one) and stick to it. If it doesn't work, after following the plan, see what went wrong and change it. If you don't know what went wrong find another plan. I should say though that athletes have different needs than the general population and the food guide pyramid was designed for the general population.

And for God's sake, give any plan enough time to see results. If you don't see results in 2 weeks, it doesn't mean the plan doesn't work, it means you haven't tried it long enough!!!

I second that its a 21 day minimum rule, with changing all habits. After 21 days things tend to become second nature and you will have quantities and food choices more in line by that point

Alright, thanks all.

I'm going to start Homegrown Muscle soon. Is there any particular food group you'd recommend I intake more of, or any other general advice? I'm sure that starting a rigorous exercise regime would change my nutritional needs, after all... <_<
