You know having family and friends who eats like shyt and dont keep track of what they eat

Does anyone do all this purely by themselves? No one who you compare ideas with and such?

Im gonna go see a nutrionist soon because i dont have anyone to show me the ropes for free :sadcam:

I just stick to books and youtube

I wouldn't go see a professional but if you feel you need to then go ahead. Most of the stuff I've done is through trial and error. Like this month I'm going vegetarian :manny: I've tried super low carb like atkins :camby: I've done raw foods, IF, and a host of other shyt. If I can't sustain the diet for at least a week, then I know it's not for me and some adjustments need to be made. I've honestly found a combination of all of them work in some way shape or form, just not the plan in it's entirety (for me anyway).

Just try some shyt and if it doesn't work, youtube some shyt, and try some different shyt. Ask a lot of questions and be honest about your fitness goals to whomever you're talking to (nutritionist or random people on the internet) and you'll be good.

If you want something its on you...you should never need the support of others when deep down you truly desire a certain outcome it always has to be ingrained from within

I encourage you to see a professional because having a diet tailored to your goals is paramount to meeting your goal I suggest going to Kinobody Fitness Systems | and signing up for a personal consultation he will give you a workout plan and macros diet based on your goals for around 200 dollars American

much better than some gym personal trainer thats for sure

I can't even fathom wasting money on a dietician so they can tell me "eat a lot of protein, veggies, and fruits. Avoid sugar and saturated fat"

Diet plans are so easy, its ridiculous.

Breakfast:
3 eggs
1 Serving Old Fashioned Quaker Oats
Whey protein shake

Lunch:
6 oz chicken breast
Apple
1 serving whole grain brown rice

Snack:
Cup of Greek Yogurt
1 oz almonds

Post Workout:
Whey protein shake and banana

Dinner:
6 oz salmon
1 serving mixed veggies
Baked potato, minimal butter added

Nighttime Snack:
Bowl of Fiber One Cereal


All these diet plans are the same. There is no special trick. Eat lots of protein, eat around 2000 calories per day. Boom, done

I do it dolo, but I use apps as a check in, helps when I'm feeling lazy. I'm good at being self-motivated but I did just get my friends on board with the 30-day ab challenge, and I'll be getting Insanity soon. Otherwise, that scale is my biggest frenemy at the moment. We're on good terms for now, but I have a ton more to lose so I can't pat myself on the back just yet.

you can do it yourself but most goals for men who work out are definitely above 2000, I personally do 2300 on cardio days and 2700 on lifting days

there's also a macros that when done right makes your goals a lot easier and for me the calculation was kind of annoying to figure out and trying to go through the software that I had no problem paying someone who had the type of body that I was aiming for a one time fee of 200 dollars to give me that piece of mind that I was on the right track

and that macros and calorie goal is different for everyone and it depends on the body style you want some people want to look like a slim warrior others want to look like a jacked up super hero and some want a bit of both with a Greek God type body

your meal plan though seems pretty decent and the real trick is if you don't want to deal with any calorie counting is to avoid sugar and keep your food real and not processed and carbs should come from brown rice sweet potatoes or Quinoa and cooking should be done with coconut oil and things like 90% ground beef chicken breast and salmon should be a normal part of your diet

In fairness that's you pulling this together after personal trial and error and research. For anybody beginning it can being confusing because so much information contradicts each other. Someone can look at your 1 serving of mixed vegetables and thing that's not enough. One study or eating strategy would say it is while another wouldn't.

I think you hit on a good point the other day regarding working out in regards to people jumping in with both feet, having setbacks and getting discouraged. I think nutrition is the same. If someone is really starting at ground zero it might be best to clean up certain aspect first and gradually instead of going wholesale one way off the start.

yeah thats what im saying, i just want a nutritionist to examine me and analyze me and give me the best advice(template) to follow because ive been eating healthy for awhile now just off default but i want a good assessment of what i personally should be doing
