Essential Random Gym Thoughts Revisited...

[HHR]

Who round here got monster calves?

 

[MoroccanBoy]

Cheap bulk foods?

Maybe pasta tuna oatmeal milk peanut butter chicken?

Don't feel any pain.
But I will in the morning

yup

I can't get fat. Trust me I had a broken lower back once and couldn't get out my bed for like a year. I did nothing but lay down and eat and I was still skinny when I got out. I have really long skinny limbs.

OK, try it and report back

Maybe you will be the first human ever to completely defy physiology :udgoraw:

I've already defied your broken physiology. I'm still skinny and I'm not training in anything right now. I consume more calories than I burn and I'm not putting any weight on. These rules don't exist for a natural ectomorph with a fast metabolism.

I need more fibre rich foods to eat this morning was a struggle

 

[dora_da_destroyer]

yup

whey protein after your workout with carbs (banana, oatmeal, or dextrose) + bccaa's or l-glutamine powder

you should be getting 3-5 servings of vegetables a day, ~2 from raw veggies, 2 servings of fruits, maybe 3 (if you're not doing some no/low carb diet),100oz water...no struggle gang

Spoiler

if you're really not regular, 1-2 caps of cascara sagrada, 2-4 caps of psyllium

My gym is strange. A lot of people sip black coffee during the workout

I've been drinking the water but I'll admit my eating has been sporadic. Very hard to have three square a day. Usually will have a sandwich for lunch and a couple yogurts for the rest of the day. Yesterday I had roti (which was mainly bread and meat) with the same two yogurts afterwards.

I gotta start packing more apples to work

can i be real, your diet is crap and you're just spinning your wheels if you don't eat right, even if you're exercising (which sounds like you don't have a solid plan outside of your day(s) with your trainer).

for people like you, one of the diets i think is a simple way to get on track, build a balanced diet, learn portion control, and get the right mix of nutrients is the 21 day fix meal plan - Here's the guide - one of the key things i tell people to change with this is to calculate your calories based on being sedentary then subtract 500-750 (MMS has a stickied thread in this forum to help you find your caloric needs), the calculation in the book it too high IMO or just go with the 1500-1800 range (maybe only do 2 yellow containers some days)

i suggest buying the generic containers on amazon

grab some version of these for weekly meal prep/easy packing

i'm currently doing a modified cycle of this adapted to my protein macros, down 12 pounds (well 9 since i know for sure 3 were water) since the 1st of this month

I downloaded the myfitness app a few weeks ago, a suggesten given to me by @Token and did a Macro calculator and embedded it into the app. Of course for the past 11 or so days I've always come up under the daily caloric amount...but yeah i'll look ino it.

I've gotten a meal plan from a coli member...which I've been following as much as I can...sometimes though I feel like I'm eating too much.

I'm fukking clueless

people swear by calorie counting apps or weight watchers, but i think those are pointless if you're going to be winging it each day hoping you hit your allotted calories/points (most times choosing to ignore logging the "little things").

if you want to see your best results, then body comp >>>> pure weight loss. having a meal plan that ensures you're getting the right macros (for whatever type of plan you're doing) is better than just scanning in random foods you eat throughout the day, taking wild guesses at calorie counts and ending up losing nothing because you ate a deli sandwich but wanted to add it up like it was a homemade sandwich knowing the deli sandwich was 2-3x the calories.

plan for hitting your calories >>> randomly trying to hit your calories

don't be clueless, too much information out there to be stuck, but whatever you do you have to stick to it - if a coli breh put something together for you (hopefully someone knowledgeable) then stick to it.

I guess I have some way to go still.
this is harder than I thought.

It's really not though; she linked you to a meal plan... go to the link and follow the plan. Dieting is actually very simple.... pick 2-4 breakfasts, lunches and dinners that add up to the calories you want to hit, do cardio 2-3 times a week, and stick to the plan. If you try to wing it you're definitely gonna fail; you have to have a plan and execute on it.
