I've already tried to track my food but how can i know how many calories have got, for example lasagne, got ? it's a meal made by a lot of ingredientssheepotato wrote: »BelieveInSuccessfulLife wrote: »you can get pretty much what you need here and via the internet- you don't need a food plan from a trainer.
So dont i need a very limited food plan ?
No i'm asking this because i've found on internet a personal trainer who said that you must track every single little meal...but i think this can become a a sort of mental illness![:\](https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/resources/emoji/confused.png ":\")
Everyone who uses this site tracks or has tracked their food. It's only the people that already have mental illnesses that have trouble with obsessing over tracking. If you have a healthy relationship with food, it's just a tool. If it becomes more, take a break from it.
The easiest way is to eat simpler foods. You can build a recipe on here if you really want lasagna though.
OP, it is easier to eat simpler food like Loft says. However, it can get boring fast.
There's a recipe builder on the site, it takes a little getting used to but you would just add all of the ingredients and their amounts into the builder and log it that way.
It's definitely time consuming at first but once you get used to it, the recipe builder and logging in general goes quicker.

Do you ever read entire threads before making posts like this?
I think that one is just looking for an easy target to make jabs at. Mission accomplished.

No, but taking 6 pages to get to the point where you can ask simple questions might be indicative of a problem.
OP doesn't speak English fluently. Also, some people don't really even know where to start when asking questions regarding fitness and nutrition. Not to mention she had to sift through lots of sarcastic replies which she took to heart because of the language barrier and probably spent two pages of posts apologizing for offending people because of misinterpreting what people were saying.
If you had read through those pages of bullsiht you would see me giving advice to OP. Don't assume I'm just coming into this thread talking trash out of nowhere. Also, when I ask about this thread still going on, don't assume that I am blaming the shenanigans on the OP. You are making a lot of assumptions upon which to place your justification that happen to be incorrect.

and an enormous amount of work.
I've been actively working on getting what is conventionally known as "bulky" for going on 2 years. still not bulky.
<sad face>
It also takes an amount of androgens that is difficult for women to obtain with administration of exogenous male hormones. Most women cannot get bulky even if that is their goal unless they are bulky due to obesity. Building muscle is difficult, even for men.

Then you asked if this was still a thing. And the first piece of actual, useable advice for the OP was about eating simpler foods.0 -

I actually have read everything that's been posted in this thread but alrighty then.
I also never accused you of anything. Guess I'm not the only one jumping to conclusions.

help help wut whoa?
we got a double help up in here.-1 -
Wow I kind of enjoyed reading this thread. Some helpful advice. I might just add my 2 cents OP- I personally have a goal as to what my body can do rather than what it looks like. Hard work to help me reach my NSV, weightloss/muscle gain is a side effect to me. Why do we need to focus on a reaching a particular body type? Our bodies will pretty much do what it wants, drop fat where ever it wants, gain muscle where ever it wants (obviously there are some factors like protein/fat intake) but we are limited to our genetics to a point. Like me, I have a tendency to gain muscle on my arms and shoulders but always keep weight on my mid section - I will never get that flat pancake stomach unless I go crazy on limiting my calories - but I like food too much....mmmmm food.
But lift! It feels great!

I wouldn't assume that she needs to cut, if I'm remembering right from a few pages ago, she's already light. I'd shoot for a recomp, see where that gets her and go from there. As a new lifter, she may see some improvements that way.BelieveInSuccessfulLife wrote: »summarizing:
i will mix cardio and weight training.
i will pay a personal trainer to learn how to do squats, deadlift ecc.... because i dont want to break my back xD
But the same personal trainer said that i have to pay 300 euros if i want a food plan, and they are so much money what i should do ? because how i 've understood alimentation is very important
I'm going to assume that "alimentation" is supposed to be "nutrition".
You don't need to pay for a food plan from a trainer - especially from a trainer, because at least in the US most aren't trained in nutrition and shouldn't be giving out advice.
You just need to set a reasonable calorie deficit - about 250-500 cals below your maintenance - and appropriate macro levels for you (macros being protein, carbs, and fat - 30% protein, 40% carbs, and 30% fat seems to be a good baseline but you may need to adjust yours one way or the other).
I suggest only cutting out foods you find gross or are allergic too, while eating everything else in moderation.

olive oil/butter is like 120 calories per tablespoon. _ Those little things add up quickly.
it gets easier- down load the app on your phone- use the scanner bar if you can.
I eat the same thing daily usually since I batch cook- so it's like chicken soup for 4 days. Chicken stir fry for 4 days.
And my snacks are all the same- so again- easy peasy- you build a list of the same foods you eat over and over again- it gets easier. I log my food in the morning over my coffee since I already know what I'm going to be eating. Takes me less than five minutes.0 -
