If your getting stronger, your doing it right. If your gaining weight, and NOT getting stronger, your doing it wrong. Don't get so caught up in 'eat this before, eat this after' crap, just eat good whole foods and supplement with a good multi, fish oil and protein powder if you have a hard time getting enough protein in. Use a online calc to find your TDEE, and eat around that level or slightly above it, every day. You will have to track your food for a week to get a ballpark of how many cals your taking in. From there out you can probably eyeball it.
What are your stats (height/weight), lifting routine, and what you've been eating and we can better help you out. |
I'm 5'10'' probably around 200-205(I haven't weighed in a while)
I've been lifting consistently heavy for about a month now. I've been working out for a few years but I've been slacking lately.
I've been eating oatmeal in the mornings mostly and I have chicken, eat alot of pasta and bread. I've been told at least a gram of protein per lb, twice the carbs per lb, and I take whey, glutamine and a test booster.
I don't really have a set lifting pattern I just try to make sure I hit every body part at least once a week. I take a rest day every 4-5 days. For a months worth of lifting, I've gotten stronger and Eve noticed a bit of a size difference. I just wanted more advice on what to eat and any other tips because I wanna make sure I'm not wasting my time and most of you guys here have more fitness knowledge.
