Techniques for Muscle Size?

[Yogi1]

Speaking as someone who has chronic digestive problems, there’s a few other things that could be fucking with you:

@random8889

Breakfast now: 6 Large Eggs, Scrambled with 200g 20% Fat Beef

Eggs are a common allergen.

@random8889

Mid morning Snack: 2 Sandwiches of Pepperoni and Salami

Bread and deli meats both common causes of digestive issues.

@random8889

Lunch 2 Wraps each consisting of: 100g Shredded Potato, Half an Avocado, 100g Mince 20% Fat

Wraps are bread, potatoes are nightshades and so can be hard to digest for some people too.

@random8889

Dinner: Spaghetti Bolagnase 200g Beef Mince 20% Fat + Spaghetti 300g

Spaghetti essentially bread, too. Some bright spark will now probably try and argue that gluten is only an issue if you’re celiac and non-celiac gluten sensitivity has never been conclusively proven to exist. Whatever. Fact is that, gluten or not, it fucks with some people.

I’m not trying to tell you that your entire diet is bad, just that there are other potential things in there that could be fucking with you if removing the dairy doesn’t help.

@flipcollar

laxatives are for constipation, not dairy digestion. You take enzymes to digest dairy, if you have problems with it. All those dairy calories probably went to nothing for you, so it’s as if you were eating far fewer calories in the first place. And then the laxatives you took on top of that prevented you from properly digesting the rest of the food you ate, because it didn’t stay in your body long enough to absorb the nutrients.

Sorry I didn’t specify I don’t take them daily that was when I had a bad reaction to dairy

[random8889]

Lol jesus what do I eat only chicken and rice?

[atlas13]

I mean, I am by no means half the athlete as about half the guys in this thread so perhaps I shouldn’t talk, but the Vertical Diet by Efferding is designed based on a lot of principles of food absorption, and that is mainly beef and rice so… Maybe?

[SOUL_FIGHTER]

You might need to check with a doctor and see what your issues are

[Yogi1]

Well hopefully not, but you might need to eat a very restrictive diet for a while.

Precision Nutrition had a great write up on the elimination diet that you might want to consider if your gut health doesn’t improve.

Yeah well currently eliminating dairy, if that doesn’t work I’ll move on to vertical diet allthough the video on supertraining with stan may have already sold me

Looks really edible for me but the problem is I can’t afford steak can you even eat 20% fat minced beef on it I’ve seen it where Stan has said no only steak then some of his clients have eaten ground meat so I don’t get his stance on it.

[atlas13]

I have no idea, I have not done the diet, nor have I really researched it. Agree with you on steak being expensive.

-Do you track your food everyday?

-How do you measure it?

-Your tracker may be miscalculating. 6 eggs is over 600 calories? Wtf kind of chicken is that? Some of the others look off aswell.

-Do you have a physical job?

[strongmangoals]

How did your last cycle go? Why are you proposing these changes?

[strongmangoals]

With your raging metabolism, the difference between lean and 20% beef won’t matter if you’re not eyeing a spot on a bodybuilding stage.

I know that I like to eat the full fat stuff it smashes calories in, my problem is that Stan said steak only then again the theory is the body becomes efficient at digesting a select few foods, Steak and ground beef is from the same cow isn’t it?

I was using MyFitnessPal scanning the barcode, it’s a bunch of cut up chicken breast not just a big chicken breast.

I no longer work

And I just measure it all with food scales

@random8889

my problem is that Stan said steak only

That’s great news because that’s about as big a problem for you as the fact that I stubbed my toe a few days ago.

Ok I was just watching a supertraining video where he walks and talks with Mark Bell about the vertical diet he said “People from the UK have minced beef” So I guess its ok, I’m going to start it very soon.

[SkyzykS]

Its not allowed in the EU, but in the US unless it is fresh ground, like upon request, ground beef is the stuff that sat on the shelf and turned green. It then gets a chemical bath to disinfect it and make it pink again, then pink slime added to balance the lean content.

[samul]

Actually it gets grey-to-browney. Just sayin

How do you not work and afford to eat this way? Genuinely curious.

[lucasmon]

Then your app sucks. There is no chicken egg with over 100 calories.

Savings and hopes that I get a job I did work but I was an agency worker so jobs just come and go
