Does anybody

take/know if taking amino acids with protein has any benefits, or am I just adding more of what's already in the

protein powder? I was thinking the amino acids that has 4 or 6 or 8 amino acids in them, I can't remember what

they're called or how many, but it's not the complete amino line. I was told long ago that taking them was like

eating a steak. ?

I'm weighing 288 now, but for some reason, I've grown a gut ... eating three

times a day, taking 20 grams of Whey + 5 grams of Cell Tech creatine before exercising, 32 grams of protein (MUSCLE

MILK) + 5 grams of glutamine + 5 grams of CellTech creatine immediately after my workout, and three tablespoons of

peanut butter + multivitamin and one B-100 before bed. I'm beginning to think it could be the Muscle Milk,

and wanting to hit 295 without the beer gut would be reallll niiiiiiice.

Any thoughts would be appreciated ...

I've got to do something, 'cause I ain't liking me gut, but I can smell 295!

Thanks for your time.



P.S. I was also told that stress can make you fat ... anyone?
