How do you guys eat more than once a day? I would feel like shit internally having to walk around with a bunch of food in my gut and trying to workout with that in me.

You just force feed yourself bro how else are you gonna get those gains.
Training hard as opposed to just stuffing your gunt
gains are like 90% dependent on food and sleep
No they're not, training hard is responsible for that.
No muscle building is more diet and recovery than it is training. You can train as hard as you possibly can but if your diet and recovery is shit you'll make minimal gains
No, training is more important. You should recovery when you feel like you need to, but pre-programming rest days and micro-managing diet is unnecessary unless you're a professional lifter and need to meet a certain physique quota by a specific date.
If you won't take my word for it, take this guys:

If you don't need rest days then you aren't training intensely enough. People like you will half ass their workouts and don't care about recovery then come on here and post why you aren't making any gains.
I never said you don't need rest days, I'm saying you shouldn't program and fixate on resting. Imagine if diet and recovery were actually 90% of making gains and being strong. Humans and pretty much every animal in the animal kingdom would die off, our bodies would almost immediately shut down and stop performing well just because we didn't hit our macros or got 8 hours of sleep. The body adapts, it changes and forces itself to change to the world around it.
>People like you will half ass their workouts and don't care about recovery then blah blah blah blah
Projecting, thanks for the concession.
>Your body will just adapt to not recovering
What a moronic statement. Muscle building occurs during recover not training. If you're not recovering properly then how do you expect to optimally build muscle? If you're body isn't getting adequate recovery how are you training at the intensity you need over a long period of time? You might be able to get away with it for a little bit after a while you won't be able to lift as intensely and your training will suffer. I never said it was 90 percent of it that was someone else but what I'm saying is it doesn't matter how perfect your training is if you can't properly recover from it then you can't lift at the same intensity and your muscle building wont be optimal. Doesn't matter how good your training is you can't out lift having a shitty diet or recovery. People (like you) think it's all about training and disregard the usefulness of recovery when it's way more important than you think
>If you're not recovering properly then how do you expect to optimally build muscle?
I don't know, why don't you ask the guy in the video how come he didn't sleep his way to a 180kg clean and jerk? Probably because recovery is completely secondary to training when it comes to getting stronger.
>Doesn't matter how good your training is you can't out lift having a shitty diet or recovery
You keep thinking that I'm saying you can eat shit every day, sleep for an hour, hit the gym for 4 hours and be fine. I'm saying you shouldn't prioritize recovery and should rather just listen to your body and do something different for each day according to how you feel. You'll do yourself more stress by micro-managing diet, sleep, foam rolling, ice baths, supplements, all of that shit.
You can't outlift a shitty diet. Just eat food bro it really isn't as hard as you're making it out to be
I'm not saying you can just eat ice cream and potato chips and make gainz, but making gains and growing is dependent on actually working out frequently. People really overestimate how much 'recovery' the need and usually underwork themselves, keep thinking they need to 'recover' more and will end up in this loop of barley working and just sitting around more often than actually lifting.
No you're just moronic building muscle occurs when you're recovering not during training. If you train super hard but don't have the diet or recovery to support there's minimal muscle building going on.
Don't seethe, you're trying to make it sound like I'm saying that you can live off of Cheetos and sleep an hour every night while hitting the gym 3 hours every day and still make gains. You need to have your own prudence and understand the capacity your body can work at with what it has. People just seriously underestimate what they can do and overestimate what they should do (i.e. resting and eating for an entire day pretty much)
Training, or actually doing the work, is more important than just eating and sitting around while waiting to 'recover'.
It can be put a lot better and still succinctly. Yes, normies and many newbies don't train to a high enough RPE, but food matters too. You need to sleep a reasonable amount per night, but don't worry about it (worry only breeds problems - everything is okay). You need to eat a reasonable amount of protein and calories, and it really should be real food, not slop
If you just train and don't eat in a surplus (I've interacted with quite a few such guys), you are just breaking yourself down. That's just cutting but training like you're bulking. Some grown men are genuinely eating 1100 calories a day and thinking they eat quite a lot. BABIES need 1200.
If I’m still eating 200g of protein per day does it really matter that I’m eating 3000+ calories?
With protein shakes and chicken I’m coming out to right around 200g but it’s definitely closer to 2500 calories.
if you're getting fat, you can tweak it down
Nah, I’m not.
My app thingamajig says I’m supposed to be eating 3150 calories, and I’m only eating around 2500 but still eating hella protein.
I was wondering if it’s an issue that I’m NOT eating a shit ton.
you can tweak up then, gl im in the same position
After being on a cut for the last year, eating a shit ton just doesn’t gel well with me.
I might have to go the meal plan route because I can go so long without eating without even noticing, and then it’s like “oh shit I’m supposed to eat 3k calories before the end of the day.”
And that’s uncomfortable as frick to do in one meal.
think of it this way, if you get too fat just cut and start over
I’m honestly stoked about the idea of gaining weight on purpose, I don’t have an aversion to eating- it can just be physically uncomfortable at times.
I do think I need to work out some meal planning or at least make sure I eat breakfast every day.
I did the math and if I keep just eating whatever I want + protein shakes throughout the day it’s gonna be way too expensive.
It has me poised to go through 5lbs of protein powder every two weeks and I can’t afford that.
So I’ll just have to start eating smarter.
I gotta sit down and crunch numbers.
Find cheap meat. Probably something frozen. For me it's frozen chicken legs. They've even gone up in calories pretty recently. Not the greatest when cutting, but eh. Eat in bulk. Have the same basic meals each day and anything else you wanna eat replaces something comparable in terms of macros, and preferably more aspects. This way you get exactly the amount of food you need, with good macros and a very low price. I just bought 40 lbs of chicken today.
If you burn more energy than you use, you will lose weight. If you burn less energy than you use, you will gain weight. Unless you have very little muscle and/or you're really really fat, you will not gain muscle to speak of if you're losing weight or maintaining your weight. Eat more calorie-dense foods like butter. Add butter to your food. You'll barely even notice it in terms of "burden" of eating and your food will even taste better. You can also choose to eat fattier meat. That stuff is some of the best stuff you can eat.
I hate eating too but I just follow the routine.
Eat smaller more frequent meals
