Here's some tips I can give you:
- Go here and calculate your calories needed for a goal weight: Calculate Calories Needed for Goal Weight
- You want to be eating around 6 meals a day ideally, spaced out in 2-3 hours each, so divide the number you got by 6.
- Vanilla is right about the protein (though protein doesn't build muscle, it repairs it after a workout). It's a good idea to buy a whey protein powder supplement and drink it before and after your workout.
- Do you know anything about macronutrients?
- And do you have a workout plan in mind? |
woah woah woah chill out I'm not into plans lol
6 meals a day is crazy. I smoke weed all day and can't build up an appetite for that. I can probably do 4 or 5 though if one of them is a tasty treat.
I've been learning how eating too much protein puts you at a way higher risk for chronic diseases and cancer so I've been kind-off paranoid about that.
No idea what macronutrients are.
My working out mostly consists of me needing to expel some nervous energy in a healthy way. I do lotsa pull ups maybe like 50 a day(?) It's the only one i really enjoy doing because i like dangling in the air. I can do push ups pretty easily as well, these exercises havent seemed to gain much muscle, maybe toned them?
What kind-off meals do you eat?
