I'm looking to add friends who will share their food plans.

I've been working hard for 8 weeks. I've seen minimal muscle growth in chest and shoulders, not nearly as much as I expect. I feel stronger and my lifts are getting better and heavier.

I'm struggling with getting enough calories throughout the day. I tried high carb, high protein for awhile and I'm thinking about switching to High Fat, Low Carb, High Protein for a few weeks to see what happens when you use Fat as your main energy source. First day good so far if you like eating tons of bacon.

Next thing I might try is no meat all juice.

Anyone willing to share their food plans please add me.

    What excercise are you doing for chest? and shoulders?
    How many sets/reps are you doing?
    What is your rest time between sets?
    How many times a week do you bodybuild?
    How many grams of protein do you eat per day?
    What is your daily caloric intake?
    Do you keep a log of your weight/sets/reps?
    You need preworkout meal with carbs(to fuel your HEAVY lifting)
    You might need postworkout fast absorbing protein.(within 15min after weight lifting) - eat lean chicken breast as a healthier choice.

    Also alot has to do with genetics. But everyone can see their "newbie" gains rather quickly.
