this is true too, as long as its protien rich, and not alot of carbs or sugar. carbs and sugar both turn to glycogen, which is then stored as bodyfat if you dont burn em off. It sounds like he shouldnt have to worry too much about getting fat though. If he is a typical 'hardgainer' which means he has high metabolism and doesnt gain muscle very fast, then this shouldnt be a problem. but alot of guys think they are hardgainers because they are thin, but you never know til ya hit the weights and see what happens. one thing I forgot to say, your body will recover best while you are sleeping. although it is hard to fall asleep right after working out, you should try to workout just a few hours before bedtime. on the other hand, if you arent really trying to gain lots of mass, but just get in overall better shape, then its best to workout as soon as you wake up. it will keep your metabolism higher thru-out the day. another thing, aerobics dont burn fat. many of you will probably say wtf? yeah it does. but i assure you it doesnt. as soon as your heartrate increases you go from burning fat to doing a cardiovascular workout. keep your heartrate down to burn fat. a brisk walk is about all you will need to do to burn fat. when you push your body too hard and you begin to raise your heartrate, you stop losing fat. any personal trainer worth his salt will tell you this. many old beliefs from the old days are now being disproved. arm yourself with good information, and the drive to not give up, and it will happen for you............ and remember, its not going to be easy, and it wont happen overnight. if it did, everyone would be in shape
