More tips for a successful workout (Thanks to Travis and Tommy)

-For an effective cardio workout on a bike, you should gradually increase the level and when you get to the max you can do, you should main that for at least 12 minutes, then gradually decrease the level for the cool down.

-To avoid cramping, you can take longer to gradually warm up to your max, get off the bike, and stretch again, then warm up for a minute or two more and do your max for at least 12 minutes.

-When you eat your 8 300 calorie meals, it is best to eat 40-30-30 carbs-protein-fat.

-If you are working out on a regular basis, don't worry about the exceess carbs.

-Protein is good at keeping you full for longer periods of time. You should also have some fiber (apple, pear, etc) with your meal so that you will digest it slower.

-Best source of protein is tuna. Just don't use too much mayo, if you have to use it at all.
