The best ways of getting "Your Protein" in your diet

Without a doubt the most sought after food group by anyone wanting to gain muscle is protein. Without it your muscles would never grow or repair…. fact!!

So then for the serious guy or girl in the gym looking for substantial gains in muscle, this usually means that their diet comprises of large amounts of lean protein in the form of chicken, fish, red meat and egg whites. These are staple sources of protein we all consume. It is usually recommended to eat 6-8 meals a day, each meal needing to be high in protein, typically in excess of 30g per serving.

In these busy times buying, preparing, cooking and carrying around 8 meals daily can be very impractical and time consuming, especially when you could be spending those precious extra hours training or resting.This is where a great value and versatile protein powder becomes a necessity in the diet of any serious ‘Muscle Builder’. It enables you to carry several meals around that can be consumed within seconds, any time, any place during the day. Your busy schedule will not be interrupted and your kit and nutrition will fit comfortably in your gym bag.
I follow a simple formula when deciding on which protein to buy, this being: Quality/Quantity/ Cost. These are the 3 factors I look for in a supplement when refilling my supplies and all three of these are in abundance with LA Muscle’s Your Protein- 5 kg.

When you start consuming at least 3-4 shakes a day to supplement your diet, it can get very expensive and right now we can all do with saving a few pennies.

At £49.99 for a 5kg sack of the best quality protein you can buy, you can’t go wrong with Your Protein. It provides 80g of Protein per 100g and tastes and mixes great with just water and a shaker. If you are looking to add carbs to your shake especially post workout and want to create your own Meal Replacement/Weight Gainer Shake then the perfect accompaniment to Your Protein is LA Muscle’s Your Gainer 5 kg, which provides 93g of Dextrose per 100g.The beauty of having a great versatile protein powder in the cupboard is the different ways in which you can create high protein meals easily and quickly. Here are a few recipes I like to use throughout the day.

YOUR PROTEIN Porridge

A really fantastic meal for breakfast or whenever a quick complete meal is needed, one I can’t wait to wake up to. Watch out, it is addictive !!! Just like the shake below this provides you with the much needed fast and slow release proteins after a restful nights sleep. There is also the simple and complex carbs to help restore your muscle glycogen giving you plenty of energy to start the day or before heading to the gym.

In winter mix 300ml Boiling Water or hot skimmed milk , Summer cold water or skimmed milk
2 scoops of oats, cook and let oats soften.

Add 1tsp of Organic Peanut Butter stir until melted into mix
Mix in 1 Scoop of chocolate Your Protein dissolved.
Throw in a handful of raisins and 2 tsp of honey and mix to finish

This provides approx 35g Protein and 60g Carbs

YOUR PROTEIN Summer Breakfast Shake

This is a great way to start the day in summer. First thing in the morning it gives your body a great dose of fast and slow release proteins from Your Protein, Greek yoghurt and milk, also a much needed supply of simple and complex carbohydrates. The simple carbs in the banana, honey and peanut butter will help your body to replace the muscle glycogen lost during your nights sleep , helping to slow down the muscle catabolism that has taken place during the night. The complex carbs from the oats, peanut butter and milk will help give you a slow steady release of energy throughout the morning and keep you full for longer, this shake is great before a workout.Add a handful of blueberries and or strawberries for extra antioxidants, vitamins and carbs.In a blender add the following in order:

150ml Skimmed Milk or Water
1x 40g scoop of Oats
1 small banana
1 Small Tub of ‘No Fat’ Greek Yoghurt
1x 40g Scoop of strawberry or chocolate Your Protein 1tsp Organic Peanut Butter
1tsp Honey
150ml Skimmed Milk or Water

This provides approx 40g Protein and 60g Carbs

YOUR PROTEIN Dessert

This is great for Lunch, Dinner…..to be honest whenever you can get your hands on it!This great value versatile protein powder can be used to make you the most delicious treat.In a bowl Whisk 6 egg whites until fluffy.In a separate bowl add:

1small tub of no fat Greek yoghurt
2x 40g Scoops of Your Protein flavour of your choice.
Mix until a creamy desert like consistency is achieved, adding TINY amounts of milk or water just until you have a thick and creamy mixture.
Then fold the protein mixture into the egg whites and mix gently.
Split into 4 separate containers and place covered overnight in fridge to set.

Each serving provides approx 25-30g of Protein and only a couple of grams of Carbs!!

So there you go. Give yourself quick, simple, cost effective and delicious dietary options that will help you pack on pounds of muscle. You can’t go wrong with the versatility of LA Muscle’s Your Protein.Right, I’m off to bed now but not before I’ve had a Your Protein shake to keep the night time hunger pangs at bay.

Lisa Carrodus training on Venice Beach, CA

By now you should be getting to know Australian Bodybuilder, Lisa Carrodus pretty well.We've shown her behind the scenes of a Michael Palmer photo shoot in the Nevada Dry Lakes, talking exclusively to LA Muscle TV about her training career around the World Famous Las Vegas Strip, and now Hollywood Extra catches back up with the WFF Champion where it all began - At Muscle Beach in Venice California, where the likes of past Mr. Olympia winners, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Frank Zane, first made their names, to see how Lisa trains in preparation for her upcoming shows.
In the 1930's 40's and 50's young men and women would gather at the original Muscle Beach site in Santa Monica to practice and demonstrate acrobatics. While the crowds gathered, they built human towers, turned summersaults and muscled men bench-pressed bathing beauties instead of dumbbells.
In 1959 Muscle Beach Santa Monica was closed and the City of Los Angeles Parks and Recreation Department moved Muscle Beach to it's current site on the Boardwalk in Venice. Shortly after the move "The Pit" was open and resulted in a world renown explosion of bodybuilders including such greats as Arnold Schwarzenegger, Franco Columbo and Dave Draper.
Since it's inception the events at Muscle Beach have always been open to the public at no charge. This practice continues to make Muscle Beach Venice one of the largest amusement attractions in the Los Angeles area. The focus remains exercise and nutrition and the site continues to be the grassroots soul of bodybuilding famous throughout the world.
You'll also catch a glimpse of some of Lisa's sexier desert shoots. This is definitely a show that you do not want to miss a second!

about driving such a car.

Hollywood Extra was once again invited along to an exclusive, Nevada Desert shoot, with Fitness, Fashion and Glamour Photographer Michael Palmer, along with Australian bodybuilder and fitness model, Lisa Carrodus, plus, our very own LA Muscle athlete and host, Caroline Pearce.

Both were looking at adding to their portfolio some stylish, fashion-inspired, fitness shots, and what better place than to shoot than in the Dry Lakes of Las Vegas, Nevada - not to far from the world famous Las Vegas Strip.

Before watching this highly-stylized and insightful look into what goes into getting such striking images, here's a little background on Lisa so that you can truly appreciate all the hard work and commitment that
Lisa has put into her training and physique to get to where she is today;

As a child, Lisa enjoyed dance, ballet and athletics. She rode horses, entering in cross country events and loved down hill mountain biking in Victoria Australia and gained a blue belt in Shukokai karate.

Lisa started weight training when she was 17, and found she gained muscle easily and enjoyed the focus it gave her. Study and career soon took over and she trained recreationally over the years.

In 2006, Lisa started training with more dedication
and intensity with a goal to compete in a bodybuilding show. In July 2006 she went on to win her first show. Six shows - 4 wins later, including the WFF Universe title later, Lisa now aims to keep training, improve as much as she can and carry on with the success that she has reached so far.

Since competing, Lisa has found many opportunities have opened up to her in TV, film and media, and has appeared in the UK's Soccer AM, several BBC TV productions and a feature article in December /
Janurary's Weider publication Muscle and Fitness Magazine.

As you'll see from our exclusive filming, Lisa truly is one of Australia's best export, and alongside our ice-cool model and host - Caroline Pearce, they certainly make a dynamic pair that Michael Palmer can only bring out the best in each of them.

This is a show not to be missed!
