I don't see any red flags
he should drop the fiber
I'm unaware of any downsides to extra fiber
He won't be constipated. No pain, no gain.
I eat over 30g of fiber a day and never had constipation issues. Your guts are fricked up or you're eating purely soluble fiber.
that’d be hard to do considering there are no food with only soluble fiber
Dont respond to him
cutting?
i'm not really sure what my goals are. i was gonna drink another protein shake in water later. with some jelly in it. which is like 180 calories. so i could just have alot more protein without consuming more fat or carbs. could double scoop and it make it like 360 calories. something like idk the exact calories but its 24 grams of protein 4 carbs. 1.5 fat
more than 1g protein/lb of bodyweight doesnt do much more than 1.5g/lb honestly just gonna drop test
post body in /cbt/ ask 'cut or bulk?' or something
cant eat right if you dont have a goal in mind
tbh if ur skinnyfat cut if ur fat cut if ur already anorexic bulk-eat more carbs
been working out like six months but kinda still skinny fat but noticeably stronger. can do some pull ups now benching alot more squatting all that stuff. i guess my maintenance calories is like 2800 or something. you think i should cut?? hmm maybe sounds like a good idea. someone suggested me this recently. saying that if i cut to like 195. id probably look good since theres some muscle hiding under there. i was bulking tho before, just eating whatever the frick i wanted lol
if you're coping with 2200 calories 200g protein with no issue, you could cut maybe 200 calories and get lean, but if you legit have no muscles maybe stay at 2200 for a while
i actually ate a little less today than most days. i woulda probably had like another 50 to 75 carbs. but yeah shits still pretty dyel over here bro. lmao i was just wondering if anyone had any good macro ideas. like low fat higher carbs 1gram per pound protein. or something like that. i guess i'll just have to figure it out and keep lifting
high fat like 100g+ is good for natties
then 1lb/bodyweight protein
and the rest carbs to hit calorie goals
i do about 40% carbs 25% protein 35% fat
idk how much ur burning in the gym but 2250 could already be a big cut if you're going a lot/long
at your weight you've got a lot of fat to lose. id say its time to cut down to like 17-20% bodyfat then slow and steady long bulk
>195
post body. how tall are you?
like 6 and a qaurter or something. alright hold on i gotta take a picture real quick. also see this post
Im about 6 and a quarter
yeah cut like 20-30lbs
you need to be on 1500 kcal a day for a few months
this is probably a good idea
Iron and vitamin D.
Drink more milk, for iron, are you getting your protein bio whey? Eat meat, anecdotally, it's better.
about 100 came from chicken the other hundred came from whey and milk. i also took some supplements. will eat more meat however.
alright those macros are looking pretty good. how much carbs would you suggest? i have no idea how much i was actually eating. but my diet before was alot of bratwursts, milk pbjs. alot of pasta. all that kinda stuff. i was just eating it like crazy. 8 eggs in a sitting. kinda thing. so i wasnt really counting it. it probably will end up being a big cut. i just assumed the added carbs cause right now. id eat something like pretzels or popcorn before bed. if it was popcorn. i kinda coped with the popcorn by suggesting to myself the fiber was good.
ohh shit yeah that makes sense you've probably been eating like 3500 calories then
and those macros are for bulking cutting you should eat like 1.3g protein/bodyweight the rest u gotta figure out
alright bro thanks for helping me out. so you suggest cutting a bit? twenty thirty pounds? then a slow lean bulk??? alright well i guess i'll eat some frickin broccoli or something
sticky says this:
find your real TDEE though
alright thanks
3208 it says is my tdee. so i gotta eat like 2700 calories to cut. i guess i could eat another 400. i am kinda hungry anyways
>weigh about 205-210
> trying to gain muscle.
Lose some weight first bud
that seems to be the consensus. lose a couple pounds cutting
It's excess sugar and sodium. The sodium isn't bad if you're also getting potassium and magnesium.
I take a magnesium supplement. Have no idea about potassium. I usually eat alot of bananas but today i had none. Theres potassium in broccoli i think
Gaining muscle on 2256cal, what are you, a squirrel?
also, only 1/3 of your fat is saturated
>Trying to gain
>Barely 2k calories
Go up to at least 3k-3,5k
2k is cutting territory
>2,2k calories
>63g Sugars
