What do you mean "what do I mean"????

If you log your calories - you can vary them and see what works best (with respect to macro breakdown and total calories).


But - now that I think about it, based on this thread - no, don't log your cals.
Don't fool with it.
Just do it (eat).

wait is this sarcasm?
because im actually not gonna count my macros it just disourages me when i miss a meal or soemthing and i skip workouts because of it, it would be way less stressful to not count everything that goes in my mouth

JMHO80 is completely right... Counting calories and fine tuning your macro's is a great thing.

But he's also right in seeing that right how you are just starting to make lifting and nutrition part of you lifestyle and that at THIS point in time you don't need to worry about it.

You have to get the basics down and build a base before you start making things complex for yourself.

Lift Consistently + Eat + Sleep + Time = Success

Relax bro! Keep things simple for the next 6 months at LEAST and you will find youself in better shape than 95% of the kids in your school.

I'm as lost as you now man... Lol


Let's just focus back to your relaxed, yet consistent, lifting and eating and patience for now.
 
No - it's not me in the sig. It's some stripper.

I wish I had boobs that big.

I'ma get a boob job to take these B's to DD's.
 
Jenna Ho, thanks for talking to me on webcam earlier.. that was AWESOME!!!!!! you don't need a boobjob at all honey... no! NO! NO!

big hug, little kiss.. big hug.. big kiss.. little hug.. little kiss.

The eggs rolls aren't your best choice... but once again... YES.

At 15 years old you need to focus on the lifting and less on the diet.

As long as you are eating a bunch (try to get around 150g of protein at least/day) and hitting each muscle group 2-3 times a week you WILL get bigger.

End of story... simple as that.
 
well wont i overtrain if i hit every body part 3 times a week? BTW its impossiblt to do that unless theres 9 days in a week
 
I think he should focus equally on diet as he does with lifting.

But I agree with you for the most part.

You'll do fine Khan.. you're in a good place.. now you will learn.

Just based off his numbers and his weight, you assume he stays lean all day long. I've got a buddy who had numbers like him and weighed 120 or so. He has a hard time gaining muscular size AND easily ads the spare tire. Its not one or another for many, many people.

Ask any successful lifter if they didn't put any attention on diet... He doesn't have to eat like a competitive BBer, but he needs to place emphasis on what goes into his body for performance and results.

This is starting to sound like the Jackass at my local max muscle who told me (when i first started lifting) to eat everything I could from donuts to ice cream because all that mattered was calories and lifting. Well...I got bigger, yes, but I went from a 32" waist to a 39" waist despite having a naturally good metabolism (not great metabolism). Hell, I can lose bodyfat on a junk food diet just by cutting out "some of the junk".

Got on a good diet with bobo and gained faster (with respect to my experience at the time) while leaning out.

Learn how to eat, learn how to eat, learn how to eat. You don't want to be like everyone else. You NOW have access to a great resource most people do not when they get started--they're stuck with stupid gym lore and myths and ASSumptions. Anabolicminds.com will give you a head start to greater results, and if you don't take advantage of it, its a shame.

Again, you don't need to eat like a competitive bodybuilder by any means, but just don't eat like a moron. There are very important hormonal responses associate with an effective diet and that are important to weight training and muscle gain. There are also very adverse hormonal responses associated with a poor diet, period.

Anybody who tells you its not important to eat well either was lucky enough to have good genetics and gain well no matter what they eat and is ignorant to the truth (the reason it took me so long to realize eating like a fatass was a waste of time and energy, unecessary, and eating cleaner foods will make you grow faster!!!) OR they have no clue what they are talking about.

There is no comparison between teh gains you'll get eating a clean and calorically sufficient (and nutrient sufficient) diet versus the gains you'll get on a junk food diet. For one, eating **** food will kill your energy. The energy you'll have on a godo diet will blow junk diets away. Your recovery will increase, your body will be more insulin sensitive (insulin is THE MOST ANABOLIC HORMONE IN THE BODY and if you eat **** food you will desensitize your body to insulin THUS YOUR GAINS SUFFER because your body doesn't respond to it well.)

Now, again, don't eat like a competitive bodybuilder, just learn about what to eat, adn try to eat that way as often as possible--not letting eating get in the way of your life.
 
To top it off, forming a good habit early in life is a great thing. The older you get hte harder it will be to change how you eat, and when you get older, you WILL need to eat well if you plan on keeping in good shape. And, trust me...gaining the knowledge isn't the hard part, weening yourself from the junk diet and getting into a good diet habit is.
 
Damn, Kwycke that's probably the most concise sh1t I've heard out of your fingers. Well said my friend. Call yourself a contractor.. you nailed it.
 
Eh, I normally just talk **** b/c someone else says the important stuff before I do :D ahha. Guess since its late it was my turn.
