I'm back on the Dymatize Elite now, and should have enough of it stockpiled to avoid having to use the others. ;) Angela – it was really more a matter of what I had available at the time.

I shift my intake a bit (lately 45/45/10), but it varies depending on what I'm doing. If my energy levels start to take a hit, I shift the carbs upwards. ;) ~Mark Brian – you are only hitting that high for protein in phase 1.

I used get the majority of my calories from protein, but during P90X I read in the nutrition plan that I should be consuming 60% carbohydrates, 20% protein, and 20% fat if my training is intense. Do you think I should consume more than 20% of my calories from protein? Thank you in advance for your help! Hey Mark, I noticed that you consume a lot of protein in your diet!

If bulking up (lean mass) is your goal, you might want to stop doing P90X+. That workout is more about muscular endurance and leaning you out. P90X is better suited for adding mass. ~Mark Pier – I don’t cut back on my cardio at all during bulk phases, but I try not to do any extra cardio stuff either.

You mentioned just adding to your daily intake as little as 300 calories. I was wondering if you cut back on your cardio during your bulking phases. I'm currently doing a hybrid mix of p90x,p90x+ one on one & insanity. I want to get some more muscle mass & since I'm doing insanity on my cardio days, wondering if I should cut back a little on that to help with mass. Thanks!

If you are at 8.5%, you are already much leaner than 90+% of the population, so hold your head high Bro!! ;) Alex – ALL of us gain water weight as the day goes on…..just part of life.

But how do I go about my day looking like I do when I first get up in the morning (when I look the most ripped)? I figure it is because my stomach is empty that my abs are the most visible, but that's led me to not eat before I go to the beach or pool so I don't look too bloated. Is there any way to keep the lean look that you have all day long? I'm almost done with p-90x and I'm about 8.5% body fat, and I like the way I look when I'm flexing and waking up, but I just hate feeling and looking bloated after meals. Any thoughts? Hey Mark,

I add water, and mix it all in together. From there, its into the microwave for 90 seconds. I don't use any flavored oatmeal, just the old fashioned Quaker Oats (or you can use minute oats as well). The only difference between them is that the 1 minute oats are cut into 4 pieces to cook faster.. Mark Will,
