I changed my diet this whole week so far and I am proud. I stopped eating pizza as a school lunch for 5 days a week. I ate protein and carb sources with veggies. Occasional fast food yesterday for meal 3 and 4. If I get fast food I count it as two meals. Dinner is typically something with turkey or chicken.

Wait, what?
The biggest thing to nutrition in my mind is making good habits. I eat the same breakfast every day, and do it without really thinking. On work days I have the same food through the day as well. 50% of my calorie intake is already taken care of, and good quality, before I even look at dinner. If you can slowly start building those good habits, to the point that they become instinctive, youâve got this. Make a nutritious breakfast like brushing your teeth, do it every day without even thinking about it.

Thats great good to hear it.
What, exactly, did you eat on Wednesday. I wont ask about yesterday because that was admittedly your junk food day and is probably an unproductive place to start.
Breakfast probably cereal or sausage with toast
Meatball sub for lunch with veggies
Ground turkey Tacos for dinner

Hey Tim
Eat the cake, donât eat it everyday, save it for the weekend.
Tell your parents that youâre trying to eat clean. At least during the week days then the cake, ice and sweets isnât that big a problem during the weekend.
Good to see youâre starting to eat more healthy, youâll benefit from it. As Pinky said eat good clean proteins all day everyday.
Youâre getting there, thatâs quality Tim.
Just Remember that itâs supposed to be fun.
Can you get your parents accept of this then itâs a whole lot easier. Theyâll bring the good food and ask you how itâs going and support you.

Better I guess. But seriously, just cereal is not a great choice for a meal. As a rule any meal without a solid dose of protein is probably best seen as a missed opportunity.

Just throw in two eggs before the cereal, easy and lots of good quality protein
About 15g good protein, tops. If youâre going to do eggs, youâll have to use more than 2.
Thank you Lee Boyce
So what? Youâre not competing in powerlifting so your actual squat strength doesnât matter. You still can, and should, train and improve. Youâre just working harder when you lift 300 than someone else is. Still gotta get stronger and still gotta build muscle.

Measure yourself against your goal, not strength standards. Ignore any excuses for not meeting that goal, no matter where theyâre published or who by.
The goal is the goal. Find the perfect excuse for not reaching it? Guess what, youâve still failed.

It matters to me. I want the weight to keep moving up and up.
But specifically right now. Not really cause Iâm training for size.
Your lifts can still go up with longer limbs. How tall are you anyway?
The point of the article is only to ridicule arbitrary strength standards like âdouble bodyweightâ. Nothing in there suggests there is anything that will prevent the weight from moving âup and upâ. Your leverages wonât stop that.

Iâve noticed for a lot of my lifts. I really donât put a lot of force into it. When I do it feels easy. Itâs kinda weird. I usually lift kinda willynilly. Iâm talking about explosiveness I guess.
