Reddit is a cesspool of tribal idiots thriving off the echo chamber and believing their experiences are real life. I started on some "steroid" channel a couple of years ago when I began my AAS journey beyond TRT. However, I was lucky enough to quickly find ASF.
Excatley he gets his diets there apparently
Good thing man you did alot of good dudes here
I bit my tongue and stayed quiet but that was fucking funny.
"Structure" again you're overcomplicating it. Frank Zane would eat 100g carbs year round. Arnold just ate a bunch meat, eggs, and milk and had some bread whenever.
You're not doing anything meticulously tracking everything. what's the secret science tk nutrition? At least with gear and training there's unique interactions of the drugs or unique exercises that can bias a muscle more than others etc.
Point to my AI post that made you butthurt. And honestly OP would be better off spoonfed by some Ai chatbot. There hasn't been any groundbreaking discoveries to nutrition in the past 50 years, AI is pretty solid for unambiguous information.
I was around for all these "old school" guys. They would be even more impressive now if they had the knowledge that has accumulated over the years. They understand how much more important Nutrition is than they treated it."Structure" again you're overcomplicating it. Frank Zane would eat 100g carbs year round. Arnold just ate a bunch meat, eggs, and milk and had some bread whenever.
Sean Ray is on interview saying when hes dieting/or bulking he just eats more or less not even tracking anything besides the mirror
There is none of that with nutrition, think about the function of your teeth and stomach before claiming you need some elaborate diet, or claoms to elaborate diet because it'll ultimately be some "bodybuilder" shit which is just rice, chicken, and blueberries to feign nutrients n shit
Wow, you really are clueless.
You "think" A.I. is superior because you believe everything it says because you wouldnt know if it was wrong or not!
ChatGPT tried to tell Pete Hegseth was Not the Secretary of DOD.I had to point to the record of the senate confirmation hearing before it fessed up. It also told me there was no executive order naming the DOD the Dept of War. Again I had to point it to the white house and show it the executive order before it admitted it was wrong. It has tried on more than one occasion to tell me there is no such thing as an Air Pod Pro 3.
That’s the best you got, pillow-humper?
Riddle me this, and riddle me that. He ain't afraid of no big gay bat.
Well this thread started out as a simple help thread and some asshole vampire avatares dude hijacked it lol
. Then I finish with dessert, usually a Greek yogurt bowl. The portion amounts changed as I am getting deeper into my cut.
Thank you so much brother@Bullseye Forever
As mentioned earlier, it’s going to take discipline, and maybe a coach would help. At least there's an option to talk to someone where you can see if it will help. I’m no bodybuilder, but I’d suggest finding a tracking app, there are plenty out there these days.
Something I found useful was Calorie Deficit Calculator for Realistic Weight Loss Goals. I plugged in my information, set a goal weight by XX day/month, and looked through the different macro options it provides. I personally selected the high-protein option, then started tracking everything, including sauces; everything needs to be documented.
I eat mostly the same meals at the same times: a pre-workout snack at 4 AM, breakfast after the gym, lunch, a mid-afternoon snack, and dinner. Dinner changes, but I make sure it’s more protein-focused since my wife wouldn’t want to eat the same thing every night. I tried that, and she was not about it
This structure has been working for me over the last couple of months. I’ve gone from 195 down to 179.
Good luck, man!
I’ll sure sent you a DM tonight
DM me anytime bro. I work alot but I can dial you in. It may take a month of experimental recipe. Most ppl just recommend what THEY do % your bodyweight vs theirs. We'll experiment for a minute and depending on your gut AND your genetic makeup we can get you on the tip of the spear. Just shoot me a message we'll get it figured out.
Absolutely!!!! Please feel free to message me. It's never to late to learn!!!
Amen to that! Dudes and a few chicks that are worth (triple) their weight in gold! <3
Thanks so much for the help I’m gonna take everyone’s advice and do this rightAbsolutely!!!! Please feel free to message me. It's never to late to learn!!!
It's more about thinking of a calorie for what it is - a measure of a unit of energy.
Study what is and isn't a macronutrient vs micronutrient, what they do for your body and how your body uses them.....
Then start SIMPLE....
1. Meal plan 2-3 times a week so you already prepped what you eat.
2. The cooked weight of food is different than the uncooked weight; get a little scale on Amazon for 10 bucks.
3. There are so many free tools now for portioning out your meals as well as giving you a base to start journaling your meals, workouts, supplemental regimen - use them!
4. Look at the label on everything - if it's not natural or you can't pronounce it/it sounds like or is a chemical/poison - don't eat it.
5. It is free to grow your own food btw.
Some easy tricks I use:
1. Boiling 12-24 (depending on my husband's cycle too) eggs a week that are ready to go.
2. Portioning out "snacks" and timing them.
3. Setting reminders on my phone to hydrate.
4. Going by measurements and not just weight (esp for women). I always take them on the same day, same time, every month and write them not only in my journal but in dry erase marker on a full-length mirror.
5. Continue to reach out to people on these forums and local BB you may come across in the gym. They are normally pretty obvious lol.... But actually, when I have asked for tips - literally the most helpful people in the world and genuine/genius in the responses I've been given
Lastly - never, ever give up!!! You got this!!!
Thanks
I’ll give yoh a shout today and we can further discuss
