Good sports nutrition websites/advice?

Hey guys. In response to the inevitable person who posts, "www.google.com," thank you in advance.

But hey. I'm trying to get ready for playing rugby next year. As such, this summer I am trying to lose weight, gain muscle, and generally get in shape. I was wondering if any of you guys know anything about the nutritional side of things. I've been eating high protein, somewhat low carb for the past few weeks, and I'm just not losing the amount of weight I should be (given I am gaining muscle mass). Any tips/websites?

Thanks

Okay My Man. How much cardio are you doing in your routine now? You need to be running within 30-40mins 4 days a week and try to only lift 3-4 days a week as well. You may want to gain muscle but lifting every single day isn't going to get you there either. your body needs to recover and rest, especially if you want to pack on muscle and lose the fat. UPUPUP your protein intake, maybe invest in some Whey protein. For $35 you can get a 5b tub of Dymatize Whey online that will last you ~80 servings...do the math :)

If you are hungry, grab some fiber, eat some oatmeal or have some veggies. Healthy, low in carbs/cals and will help you lose the weight faster than cheez-its or a slice of pizza.

LOSE THAT SCALE - look at that thing rarely, while you want to be lifting hard yet trying to lose weight, if you notice you went up 2lbs, it's most likely muscle (if you follow your diet to the T). but seeing that will deceive you and think you aren't trying and then you'll want to cheat and invest in a Thermogenic to lose your lbs. but that's an extra resort.

basically, burn more cals than you take-in. if you watch that for a week or so and stick to it, it'll become religious and eventually you'll be able to add/take away some of the things you eat/want to eat.

pm me with any questions. good luck
