edited November 15 in Goal: Gaining Weight and Body Building
I'm currently weighing at 170lbs '12stone 3' around that number. I'm doing 4 day workout splits back biceps.chest triceps.shoulders and legs. I do abs 4 times a week. My goal is to be as big as possible but not gain as much fat. I find it hard to get my calories I need any tips. This app tells me to eat around 2,700 a day.I'm missing 500 calories. I'm low on fats. I don't can't eat nuts either'will die lol' protein and carbs I can get easily. My long-term goal is a physique bodybuilder. Any type of advise would help me a lot. I am 21 and 5f11 also white man.

    To increase fat... Use oil/butter when you cook, or add it to your meal. Avocado. Fatty cuts of meat (chicken thigh instead of breast, salmon instead of white fish etc). Whole eggs. Full fat dairy. .... Icecream.. Chocolate...

    Training: Can you provide more details on your split; reps/sets/moves/etc...
