The same thing happened to me last week. It was when i made the transition from cutting to bulking. I had my first sugary treat(cheesecake) and after that i started craving sugar so bad it opened the floodgates. Was eating about 4000-5000 cal per day for like a week. It was absolutly terrible. On friday i decided enough…

I did twice a week. Day one was 3 tri-sets working abs and obliques. Then day 2 was just a few sets of hanging leg raises after my main workout.

Tips and advice are greatly appreciated. I also love to help people on their journey in any way i can. Lets get it!

Quakers popped rice chips are pretty amazing imo

Ill totally look into the his book you metioned. Thanks for the in depth reply and the link to Lyle's website. One of the more helpful posts! This is great, I now have a couple of new methods to consider thanks to yall!

This was very informative i really appreciate it. And yess haha ive come to terms with the fact that my body fat will go up. I was just wondering what peoples opinions kn going about bulking were like. Ill definitely be sure to pag aytention to my fats and carbs anf make sure im hitting the mark. Thanks again!

Thank you so much for sharing your experience, i think i will give a try to the first one you metioned! We'll see how it turns out!

Sweet, i can totally see what you mean, as they are usually really satiating. Are there any calorie dense foods youd recommend?

Egg/egg whites in the morning. 2-3 meals of meat (chicken, beef, etc...). 1-2 protein shakes and/or greek yogurt. (2 meat 2 protein shakes or 3 meat 1 protein shake depending on what i have time to prepare) those are the protein parts of my daily meals.

I discovered pre logging a few weeks ago. Really helps keep my day in perspective. And makes prepping a breeze as well! Good luck! :)

Use it consistently and youll get used to it! Good luck!

Motivation and inspiration are always welcome :)

They are both knowledgeable, athletic and experienced. Why not take what you can from both?

Find out your daily cutting calories and macro split and find strategy that works best for you to stick to (iifym, keto, intermittent fasting, whatever, etc.), get on a good training plan, and stay consistent and motivated.

A simple protein shake and a banana or orange are what i eat when i dont have time for breakfast. And some coffee (i throw the protein in my coffee sometimes)

I started off just browsing the nutrition section of different forums like this one. Bodybuilding . Com forums are also full of great info and some of their articles are worth a read (not all lol) anyone feel free to add me if youre looking for advice or have any advice to share!

Looking for motivation, add me :smile:

Percentages for macros are pretty useless tbh. You should focus on the actual grams of each macro according to your bodyweight. Not percentage of calories.

Agree with some above posts, your best bet is to make your own. Use protein/carb powder, full fat milk(if you can), peanut/almond butter, oats, granola, fruits, spinach/kale, basically anything you can stand to mix together in a blender. Cheaper and probably healthier and will taste better than any options you can buy.

When i notice my routine taking a toll or just getting stale i usually take a week and completely mix things up. The last time i did this i worked in full body circuits instead of my usual split for sets. Lighter weights but keep the intensity relatively high. Really helped me break up the monotony and get a little rest…

A 3 day full body split is a great place for anyone to start and works quite well. You can do the simple ones such as starting strength or stronglifts and venture out to other programs as you get more comfortable or want a change.

A solid multi along with fish oil, creatine, and bcaas are a good place to start. Protein powders are helpful if your having trouble hitting your goal with whole foods.
