5g every day is a safe bet, timing doesn't matter. Unless you're a non-responder you'll notice some weight gain (water weight) until your tissues are fully saturated with creatine. Any extra strength/muscle gain will be negligible from only a month. Creatine might work, but supplements are there to supplement your…

Increase volume instead of weight over time. Either by increasing reps/sets or a combination of both. For pull-ups I usually set a rep goal for the session and take as many sets as I need to reach that goal.

It's always late at night somewhere in the world whenever you eat.

Lol when did this happen?

I came across this link purely by chance: http://whyquit.com/whyquit/LinksAAddiction.html I Read through it, and quit cold turkey the same day. That was more than 3 years ago now.

When you see posts like those and they don't mention calories even once. Then you can safely ignore the entire post.

I have a protein shake right when I wake up before heading to the gym. After I get home, I'll have my first actual meal which is fiber rich cereal in low fat milk.
-
I deal with this by eating the same set of meals every day for days/weeks before changing something. That way I only have to log everything once when I make those infrequent changes.

Whoever made that pyramid should be ejected into space.. I tried fixing it, but the trapeziums aren't even the right size! Geometry has never been this triggering before.

It's actually a great tool if you use it to track trends and averages over time. A single point of data isn't worth much.

1.8-2.2g/kg of bodyweight for protein. A minimum of 0.35g/kg of bodyweight for fat. And fill the rest of your calories with whatever. Biggest factor is making sure you're actually eating enough calories to gain weight.

Metal with female vocals is my jam. An example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RyEHuJDnD1Y

If you're doing your own programming I'd suggest you read some books on the subject. "The Muscle and strength Nutrition/Training pyramid" books by Eric Helms, Andrea Valdez and Andy Morgan are really great. "The Scientific Principles of Strength Training" by Mike Israetel, James Hoffmann and Chad Wesley Smith is a bit more…

To better illustrate the math and my point.

Except people aren't either 100% skeletal muscle or 100% fat tissue. Take a 100kg person at 20% bodyfat and replace half of the fat with muscle and that person will weigh 101.8kg.
-
Because I'm a nitpicker I'll have to correct you on this. The density of skeletal muscle is around 1.06g/ml where as fat tissue is around 0.9g/ml which means skeletal muscle is only about 18% denser than fat. I wouldn't call that a big difference.

All of it. And then some more.

Starting weight 121kg. Current weight 88kg. Goal weight 100+kg of muscly goodness.

I don't understand why people recommend peanut butter as a good source of protein. Depending on the type we're talking usually 4-6 grams of protein per 100 calories. Compare that to whey or lean cuts of meat that has 20ish grams per 100 calories.

Small calorie surplus, strength train and wait patiently.

Get so buff and strong that I can eat all the things without getting fat again.

Mine's around 2300 calories. No idea what MFP would set for me as I don't use it. Edit: Just checked and MFP put mine at 2390 which is surprisingly close.
-
What food that is healthy depends entirely on what nutritional deficiency you're trying to fill in your diet.
-
Creatine monohydrate because it's well researched and dirt cheap. Any source of caffeine for pre workout. Protein powder if you need more protein in your diet. Everything else is either too expensive for the benefit they provide or they don't right don't work. I wouldn't worry about it unless you're an elite level athlete…

The bench at my gym doesn't have safeties either, and setting up in a power rack is too much of a hassle. I deal with it by knowing my limits and tracking RPE/RIR (rate of perceived exertion/reps in reserve) every set. When you've done this for a while, you get pretty good at knowing how far you can safely push yourself…
-
Recognizing that what I weigh on any given day doesn't really matter in the grand scheme of things. Pooling single points of data over weeks and months allows me to see whether or not I'm actually progressing towards my goal (and adjust accordingly if not).
-
I don't mind. MORE GAINS FOR ME!

I think we can agree that eating human is a big no-no. Therefore human flesh = bad food.
