what kind of foods should i be eating?

i don't have time to count calories. i'm a full time student and also have a full time job. I don't have a lot of time to cook (maybe 30 mins max).. I need some light recipes that will get me full and also help me lose weight.

Any suggestions?

Yes you do.

Download MyFitnessPal or a similar app.

And as far as no time to cook....meal prep. Make 4-5 servings of something at a time, throw it in the fridge/freezer.

lol, people i the gems thread are pretty cool overall, they wouldn't have clowned too much.

to be frank with you, i'm far from that physically so i might not be the best to give advice. stronglifts is more of a strength training program. You will definitely gain muscle weight on it but it's not the main objective. I've heard good things about power hypertrophy adaptive training( P.H.A.T.) program but it takes a bigger time commitment. i still suggest you do stronglifts first until you rich your limit on there so that you can build a strength foundation (so that whatever program you choose afterwards you can start lifting heavier right away). Plus it's a good way to get into a rhythm.

you can also check out other threads from people who are on this program and what programs they started on. I think mmsex (one of the mods) started on stronglifts as well.

1. 2 weeks of anything ain't shyt...don't give up. Progress IS there even if it's not drastic.

2. Lifting is only 20% of the equation. Your diet is the other 80%.

Yes, "fixing" your diet is hard. I found it easiest to do it slowly...i.e. cut out one major vice/diet killer every week or so. Eventually you get used to eating healthier.

Also, eat clean 6 days a week and allow yourself a "cheat" meal or day. Don't go crazy or anything, but doing this will help your cravings the rest of the week.

because of how extremely skinny i am....ive been thinking of when i start the program officially this upcoming monday....instead of one cheat day ill have 2 a week

since you have extra days off after friday(2 compared to the 1 day off with monday and wednesday) ill use that same friday and saturday to pig out....especially since i got to save more money in different ways......since i cant keep buying expensive foods when im gonna be doing the GOMAD method everyday also....btw it pisses me off how lactaid is already charging more than everyone else and can't even have a full gallon....they have 3 quarts in that big bottle but too lazy to go up to the 4th quarts to make it officailly a gallon...

i know its not far off and still will help with gains but man.....how cheap...your overcharging already and can't have a entire gallon?

Buy a pack of Skinless Chicken Breasts, pan fry them shyts. (anyone can do it) Cook Rice and Broccoli. Eat the Broccoli Raw

The Broccoli is probably gonna cost you more than the Chicken.

You can actually get Chicken breasts at Costco for 40 Bucks and It'll last you the entire month.

The Hard part is eating the same thing everyday.

I did 3X5 workout for about 6 weeks, I got lanky arms and got frustrated seeing results everywhere but my arms so I started working my arms more. But you def see results in your torso, chest area after 5-6 weeks.
