2018-03-23 at 12:49 PM UTCWhat am I supposed to eating along with my workout?
This is my workout btw:
http://www.simplyshredded.com/mega-feature-layne-norton-training-series-full-powerhypertrophy-routine-updated-2011.html
Right now I am not skinny, but I am not fat either. I am a normal size, MAYBE a bit of a gut (but over the past week of working out I've noticed it less).
I heard that diet contributes to like 70% (maybe even more) of your gains, so it's fucking important. Am I supposed to be eating enough to just maintain, or eating more, or less, or what? I've never gotten this shit.
And what's the best way to work out the numbers on how much I'm supposed to eat? This is too fucking hard someone help me!
The last time I did this workout and got gains I didn't do anything special with my diet but drink my protein shakes (which I'm doing now as well). However I only did it for like a month, so obviously gains would've been made, but maybe not as good as they would've been if I ate better? -
2018-03-23 at 12:53 PM UTCI think as long as you get the appropriate protein intake, and don’t impulsively shovel fast food down your gullet every waking minute, you should be fine.
The whole thing about “diet being more important than exercise” mainly applies to fatasses with no impulse control.
What do you eat on a daily basis right now? -

I usually have a small breakfast, maybe a bit of cereal and some fruit. Then I eat about 3 slices of toast with salmon on them for lunch, and a protein shake. For dinner, whatever my mom makes lol (so like pasta one night, chicken the next, etc).
On the days I go to college I'll buy like a burger or something for lunch instead.
Throughout the day I'll have snacks like biscuits or something too. -
2018-03-23 at 1:03 PM UTCMaybe cut down on the bread, for snacks do mixed nuts or something instead (not peanuts). Other than that looks alright, for your purposes. I mean once you plateau and you’re trying to get absolutely shredded or whatever it’ll matter more.
How much cardio do you do? -

Oh yeah, true! I'm gonna buy some pumpkin seeds or some shit, I forgot what they're called but I used to eat them all the time and they were healthy.
I do no cardio, however I walk a lot, and my weightlifting routine makes me sweat like crazy. Good enough? -
2018-03-23 at 1:07 PM UTCYeah that’s probably fine. Cardio is overblown as well. If you don’t see progress with what you’re doing after a month, then maybe you’d have to make some adjustments.

Well I'll post the before/after pics at the end. And then I can get a bunch of nitpicky, useless comments from everyone about how my triceps should be bigger, etc. It'll totally be worth it...
I had infinityshock already making fun of me for not including the bar weight in my stats. Like just fuck off, lol. -

I like the answers in this thread. This post is promising:Yes and no. Women did not approach me in person more often, but they did indicate interest in online dating sites more often. Usually they might send me a message that said simply "hi". So then I would start talking to them online.

2018-03-23 at 2:03 PM UTCAs long as your protein intake is over 100g, don't overthink it too much, but I would suggest replacing the cereal, toast and biscuits with proteins, fats and vegetables, such as eggs, cottage cheese, tuna, nuts, any vegetables, etc. This simple replacement of empty carbs/sugar with protein will give you an up to 25% increase in gains.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire!

don't the toast, cereal, etc I eat count towards anything? like there's carbs and fats in that shit as well right? or it it just a waste coz there's too much other shit in there as well when I could have better foods? -
2018-03-23 at 2:12 PM UTCYou don't need carbs for energy. If you consume low carbs, your body will use stored body fat for energy. You don't even need to be in ketosis for this to happen. I would say, yes, they literally don't count for anything. These kinds of foods simply act as fuel to maintain your weight - they do not contribute to anything else. I'm not even talking about health here, I'm just talking about gainz - but when you do cut these post-agricultural revolution foods out of your diet, your mental health will improve significantly. If you still wanna eat relatively healthy, low calorie carbs, then I would suggest sweet potatoes, wholegrains, etc. Carbs have too many calories anyway - don't you wanna get ripped? You could put on muscle in the next few months but thus muscle would be covered by all the fat from all the excess calories. Which carbs are the culprits of (proteins and fats are way more filling). So fuck thatThe following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire!

All those pictures you see of the insanely shredded fucks are steroid users.
I gave up on working out, I just let it happen now. Nicotine is a good supplement.
I suggest you juice. -
