Caving into ON's turbo Chocolate Hydro Whey

Yeah, I know I said I was going to try to build muscles supplement free for 4 weeks. I caved! I went to get out my oats, I was starving after a intense weight lifting session, and I saw my ON Turbo Chocolate and remembered how deliciously chocolaty it truly is, and how it delivers 30 G's of the fastest, purest, most advanced whey protein around, with very little calories, low fat and zero g's of sugar.
I dove head first into my cupboard to find my shaker. Oh it's so good. So much for my 4 weeks supplement free. One gulp and I'm hook lined and sinker-ed.

Myths of Women's Weight Training and Female Bodybuilding pt 5

Women's Weight Training Myth #6 - As long as you exercise you can eat anything that you want.
How I wish this were true also! However, this could not be further from the truth. Our individual metabolism determines how many calories we burn at rest and while we exercise. If we eat more calories than we burn on a consistent basis, our bodies will accumulate these extra calories as fat regardless of the amount of exercise that we do. This myth may have been created by people with such high metabolic rates (hardgainers) that no matter how much they eat or what they eat, they rarely meet or exceed the amount of calories that they burn in one day unless they put their mind to doing so. Therefore, their weight either remains stable or goes down. If you are confused about nutrition, please read Nutrition Basics.
