Search Results: building muscle mass

Lately I've been considering trying out a vegetarian, no carb, low sugar diet.

Everyday I'll drink 5 pints of skim milk (800 calories and 75 grams of protein) and a cup of Nature Valley protein granola (400 calories and 20 grams of protein) every day for a source of protein. The rest of my 400-800 calories will be made up of mixed vegetables (whatever I feel like eating that day). Every now and then I might treat myself with some rice or a fruit.

I'm done building muscle for the winter, and I'm more or less satisfied with my muscle mass. So would this diet be enough to at least maintain my muscle mass and lead a healthy life?

Every time I lift or am at the gym pretty much, I run at least 2 miles. I'm considered "ripped" by friends and family even tho I don't see it, but I want to be bigger too. I'm all toned, I just want to start building up muscle mass. A fellow body builder saw I was on the treadmill a lot and told me I should run less because too much cardio kills lots of your gains. And yes, I do lift (1.5 hrs of lifting at least) but should I cut back on the running?

I did ask for a rate months ago, but it's going on 20th Valentine's Day alone so I figured I'd ask to see where I stand, please only vote 7 or above if you'd actually date a guy who looked like me, thanks for you're time.
