Nutrition Advice

I'm starting this thread so as Sean put it help along The guys and ladies who either what a little more meat on them and less trimming lol or in general more meat for those looking to get bigger.I guess the best way to start this is set it up to open up for questions and i'll advise and answer the questions as they come thru.Also I can answer and advise on supplements as well.I've been a nutritionist and diet coach for athletes since 01. So I guess let the questions begin! Also anyone looking for a customized plan can pm me with questions as well.   Hope I can help all achieve there goals!! 

Yes pro and am athletes in bodybuilding,fitness,figure,strongman,powerlifting,highland games,football, baseball,mma fighters you name it. I've been nutritionist for bodybuilding IFBB pro Charles Dixon since 08.and i'm currently the strength&conditioning coach as well as nutritionist for The Kennel MMA where we have multiple pro fighters.

Lol well Sean I guess since you put it that way I may have. I just find it's easier to answer questions due to people having different schedules and times they eat and workout and work and all. 

Unless the question is how do you get less pudding around the middle!! 

Bill I recommend glucosamine&chondroitin with msm everyday and on training days a teaspoon of glutamine immediately following your workout.

I have a general-ish question. How might someone who eats a relatively low-carb diet (for weight loss purposes) get enough carbohydrates to sustain herself?

Here's the situation: For example, about a year ago, I began a "Cutting" regimen, very low carb compared to what I was doing before (around 100 per day, and 150-200 g of protein a day), with the goal of only losing about 10lbs and leaning out a bit. I lost about 20 lbs, and have since then slowly and gradually gained back about 10. The routine just became impossible to maintain - I felt foggy often, and was tired all the time, but I did feel faster when I competed. Now I'm struggling. I switched to a higher carb regimen, but am feeling a bit "puffy" as it were. Haha. My lifts have exploded, and I feel stronger than ever, but it's scary to see that number creep back up. What do you think? Other factors to explore?

Here's a question--and I'll PM you if it needs to be more specific.  I'm hypoglycemic and have tried a number of ways pre-game/during games to fend off the crashes.  What would you say is a good pre games meal and what would be smart snack foods and spacing throughout the day?  I can be on the field 8-9 hours and lunch breaks can be quick and made up from whatever we have on hand.

Thanks!  I bounced around trying a bit of everything--and nothing.  Best I felt was when by accident, my wife gave me a penutbutter/banana/honey sandwich.  I tried it again, tossed back some gulcerna (I get it for free) kept the gatorade going and had three of those sandwiches throughout the day.  I really appreciate your input--it is SO not cool to get the shakes and fighting to keep from passing out during a HG event.
