Is there a way, other than surgery, to get rid of Gyno (Gynecomastia)?

I’m really struggling to find decent enough breakfasts!. There isn’t any time in the morning to make eggs for breakfast or prepare a well balanced meal, so at the moment I’m heavily reliant on my meal supplement (protein + carb combo). I’ve heard of Protein pancakes and wondered if anyone out there has a good simple recipe?.

The ones I’ve found on the internet all seem to vary in terms of how many egg whites and most include cottage cheese (which I don’t eat).

Also: can you keep them over night or do they have to be eaten staight away?. I’m thinking I could prepare then at night and eat them on the fly in the morning?.

A recipe that looks ok is:
1/2 cup oats
1 scoop protein
4 egg whites
= Whisk together and brown in non stick pan

ideas?

I have been attending the gym for about 2 years on/off and I havent developed much muscle. I was wondering the following:

What is the best formula to take to enhance strength and muscle build, without piling on unruly amounts of fat? I have a semi toned body and want to keep this with regards abs. However I would like my pecs and arms to be alot bigger.

Thanks, Brad

I have just started on a new style of training but im getting conflicting opinions on it.
I am doing as follows…

2 laps round a 300m track
5 sets of 10 reps on one exercise eg shoulder press
1 lap round the track
5 sets of ten reps - lat raises
1 lap round the track….

I continue like this untill i have performed 6 different exercises and done 8 laps with the last lap being a flat out sprint.

My goal is to tone up and not really build mass as such. Im being told that doing the cardio will cancel out the benefits of doing weights?? Any ideas??

As a beginner at the gym who is only able to go twice a week and can’t do anything too technical yet lol, what advice can you give regarding workout/diet to achieve a toned/flat stomach? Any info appreciated.

I intend to do the UK Ironman triathlon next August. I am a long way off. I need to lose 2 stone, I can only swim 100 metres. On the plus side I ran five comfortable miles this morning and I can ride a bike. All positive suggestion welcome.
P.S. I am going to do it!

I’m about 6′ 1” - 165 pounds. I’m pretty skinny for my height but my nipples kinda sag down, which is very disconcerting. I don’t get it because I work out every other day but they just won’t tighten up. Any suggestions?

Would using Cyclone to gain mass and Thermobol to lose body fat cancel eachother out ?or are they fine to use together.

thanks
