I will add that to my workout mix ^

Wait, I don't even work out, yet I've been working out for 15 years?

 

[GarethSouthgate]

Moving from the Pics thread, started reading IIFYM...

Based on your information your details, the TDEE calculator puts your daily calorie requirement at 2918.

Interesting!

Anyone got a good app to track food quantities with?

There are loads, MyFitnessPal and FatSecret Calorie Counter are two good ones I've used.

 

[GarethSouthgate]

I really should plan a diet before that because it's pretty obvious that I'm not eating enough, I'm well aware of that.

I'll go away and try to find high calorie foods that my body accepts.

Edit - quick search:

Whole grains, pastas, rice & high calorie breakfast cereals
Potatoes, yams
Dips & spreads
Beans & other legumes
Avocado
Oily fish such as salmon, tuna or fish oil supplements
Red meats
Cooked vegetables/meats/etc in olive oil

 

[Skillmister]

500g rice (uncooked weight)
500g meat of your choice
2 avocados
4 scoops of whey
As much nuts/milk as your stomach can handle

Enjoy your gains brah.

 

[GarethSouthgate]

No whey, milk (well, I drink oat milk, not sure how many calories that has) or nuts... I can eat them in small quantities but if I eat them daily/every other day my body no likely, same with rice but that can be swapped for pasta.

I didn't realise Avocados have so many calories, need to find some recipes for them.

 

[Skillmister]

I just chop them in half and ravage them with a spoon. Never gets boring. Can you not get some other form of protein powder, pea or whatever?

 

[GarethSouthgate]

Yeah, I use hemp powder for PWO in fruit juice. Don't use it at any other time though, perhaps I should.

Oh yes. 50Kg single arm DB snatch. Like a boss. Both left and right hand. Get in. managed a couple of reps too. Bloody chuffed.

I failed 30kg dumbells Three months ago I was repping them, tonight couldn't even lift the ****ing things

 

[Morba]

Snatching is fun, going to try and snatch the 75kg axle in comp medley. Could be a comedy moment!

 

[Freefaller]

Which is quite bizarre for a forum with only one reasonably shredded member

**** you!

Lots of us under 16% now

Considering the size and strength of many of those at that percentage, I'd say that's rubbish. Our diet knowledge and application is pretty ****ing good.

 

[Freefaller]

Everyone is too hung up on "clean" food now to go adding the entire kitchen into a shake

Clean food is good - nothing wrong with that....

Diet, training, and even bodybuilding, evolves as knowledge improves. Else we'd all be stuck on this bulk/cut ********, and have fat "bodybuilders" or "powerlifters" etc...

What's the point in adding extra crap into your diet? Take your time, do it slow, do it hard, and don't be in a rush.

You mean I'm not going to put on 10 stone in 2 months?
