I don’t think that’s what he said. It looks like he was pointing out the difference between “eat to support training” and “eat to gain weight”. It might be a fine line, but there is a difference.
This whole time, I’ve been basing my comments on your long-term goal of gaining about 40 pounds and short-term goal to weigh 200 by this-past August (which was missed).
As I said before, I suggest aiming to weigh more as a result of consistently following good nutrition principles while improving in the gym, instead of overfocusing on just eating to weigh more. I might be off, but that’s likely a rewording of Pwnisher’s advice that gets to the same point.
Yes and no. Eat enough quality protein, clean carbs, and healthy fats that allow you to recover and grow.
People can eat enough to recover without seeing much growth (due to not having enough total calories and/or improper training) or they can eat enough to “grow” while building more fat than muscle (due to overfocusing on just a ton of calories and/or poor macro choices).
Thinking that far ahead is unnecessary and will only get you more confused. Handle that bridge if or when it actually appears.
Getting 3 good meals a day/7 days a week is the first priority and consistently sticking to a goal-focused plan (training and nutrition) for an extended period of time is most important.
Hey so, remember a few days ago when I said that your problem is that you’ve consistently been eating poorly, then you were like, ‘Nah man, I eat 4 times a day’, and then I was like, ‘Okay well, every single time you mention your food, it’s bad’? That’s still where we are.
Anyway, everyone knows White Castle onion rings are the best side there. And how do you not have snacks at the movies? Willpower, shmillpower.
