Do you guys have a protein bar yet? If not, can you recommend one particular bar over another?

Posted on March 23, 2011 by Andrew Frisella

To answer your first question: No, and I don’t foresee us producing one…ever. To answer your second question: Not if you truly want to get optimal results. “Protein” Bars are not the end-all, be-all super-nutritious meal replacement that some clever … Continue reading →

I am trying hard to gain muscle and I was told by my personal trainer that if I shouldn’t be eating 6 meals a day because it will speed up my metabolism too much and I wont be able to gain any. He suggested that instead of 6 meals I should eat 3 large meals. Is this true?

None of my friends are in very good shape, but they all say it’s genetics and they can’t help it. I have always thought you were supposed to eat six small meals a day to get lean and they told me that there is no way I could get in shape and lose fat eating six times a day.

Taking care of myself properly is fairly new to me and I realize this may be a very dumb question, but I hear people refer to “eating clean” all the time. What does “eating clean” mean? Is this a specific diet?

Posted on August 20, 2010 by Andrew Frisella

This is definitely not a dumb question. Eating clean is not a specific eating plan. Eating clean is a term that is used to describe the act of “cleaning up” your diet. In very simple terms it means cutting out … Continue reading →

My friend told me that I should be using time-released protein before I go to bed instead of regular protein. Is this really better than regular whey protein?

Posted on June 16, 2010 by Andrew Frisella

There is no way to know for sure if “time-released” proteins are better than “regular” proteins because “time-released” proteins don’t exist. “Time-released” proteins fads that were popular in the late 90’s that have recently been making a comeback in popularity … Continue reading →

I recently began working out and eating clean and I am having tremendous results! However, I find that my friends (and even some of my family) aren’t very supportive of my efforts. Honestly, it feels like they want me to fail sometimes and I can’t stand it. What should I do?

Posted on June 8, 2010 by Andrew Frisella
