For results what percent is it diet to working out?

[Frump]

I've heard some people say it's 90% diet only 10% working out and the calories in calories out is a myth others say both are equally as important.

What does the gym think about where each falls on importance?

It depends on your goals

If u just want to get stronger its prob like 20%. U just have to get enough calories and protein. If u want to get stronger and lean it's like 80-90% easy, once u figure out what u have to do in the gym.

Totally depending on the goals. For weight lost loss it's 90%.

Body composition changes (muscle building/leaning out) I would say 75-80% but that's different because the food should be fuel to increase workout capacity.

Just eat,train your ass off and the gains will come and the fat will shed

Mostly diet.

You're in the gym 1 hour a day, it's the other 23 hours where you can fukk up. I have progress pics where I pretty much looked the same about a year apart even though I had been hitting the gym regularly. It was because I wasn't eating in a surplus.


Got stronger tho

It's much more diet than exercise.

Yea like what's been stated, it depends on persons goals but for most people it's diet > exercise

Only people who can really get away with having a terrible diet as far as eating whatever, are younger fast metabolism having brehs, especially athletes.

The older you get the more it shifts towards diet. When I was younger I used to be able to eat whatever all day everyday and gain while still being lean as hell.

I am able to lose fat because of diet. There was a period of one month last year where life got hectic and couldn't work out. I was extra vigilant about diet and leaned out while not losing much strength after resuming work out.

Diet is VERY VERY VERY IMPORTANT.

Asking for a number is stupid.

Funny thing is once u figure it out its simple

Not easy but simple
