Feel like im getting fatter

[lilj888]

im 5'6 at 167 about 10% bodyfat. so i can relate a bit. the reason you're feeling fat is because you're putting alot of sugar into your body and thats probably what making you fat(around the gut, atleast). ive been bulking with a shitload of clean foods and i still have abs. i have a progress pic somewhere on this site. the reason why those bodybuilders look that ripped at 5'5 and 150 is because they have a shitload of muscle that they put on in the off-season. i believe they could have bulked up to around 200 pounds and then cut down to 150. they put on a shitload of muscle, then they lost the fat on top of it. bodybuilders bulk with alot of food and cut with very little food. theres not really an in between imo (for bodybuilders at least, ITS ALWAYS TO THE EXTREME) they do whatever they have to do to get to that bodyfat percentage on the day of the show. EAT 6 MEALS A DAY, EVERY 2-3 HOURS, EAT AS MUCH CLEAN FOODS AS POSSIBLE, DO SOME CARDIO, AND THERE SHOULDNT BE A REASON WHY YOU DONT HAVE ABS. I HONESTLY BELIEVE YOU DONT HAVE ABS IS BECAUSE ALL THAT SUGAR IS BEING STORED AS FAT.

ya i just recuded my sugars on this food run i just went on today, so ill see how it goes

come on dude. you want abs and you arent worried about sodium? i mean, i dont but DAMN, cold cuts and canned chili has high blood pressure written all over it.

i know what your saying, but for now all i can do is try to get shit that doesnt need to be cooked on the stove or grill. I actually know how to cook, but i just moved recently and i need a new stove

i cut down the sugars alot, but sodium went up :/

If your consuming 2000-2500 at your bodyweight, I would have thought you couldn't gain weight even with some dirty foods. I mean while food quality is important, cals in v cals out from experience is the most significant determinant of body weight.

Have you miscounted your cals?

Bro... I am about to give you the best advice you have ever got on this site. Go to Walmart and buy an electric Wok and a crockpot. Pick up Needto's cookbook and enter the Karma lotto. If you win I expect at least 1 million Kamra for providing you with this awesome info.

I cook almost everything in these two appliances and my charcoal girl. Throw a chicken or roast in the crockpot in the morning season that bitch up and let it cook all day. You will have some tender ass high protein goodness right there. Buy some 80/20 ground chuck. Throw that shit in the electric Wok. Brown it off, then strain it in your sink in a colander. You do have a sink right? Wash the meat in the sink for a few minutes then throw it back in the wok with some low sodium taco seasoning. You're left with virtually fat free ground meat (Red Meat Fuck Yeah!!!) that you can 200 different things with. Mmmm.... beef burritos in low carb tortillas... This shit isn't hard bro. You just have to look outside the box and get creative.

lol my mom use to cook me meals with the crockpot i hated that shit, but it would sound like a good idea to use one now since im stoveless, chicken never comes out right on the foreman its always dry on the outside and undercooked on the inside

Forman Chicken is haggard broly. You got to start eating better. Especially if you want to grow to your potential.

No more Forman Chicken!!!! Get an electric Work!!! You can saute up fresh veggies, then throw some boneless skinless chick cutlets in the mix. Boil up some brown rice in the microwave and you got yourself a good high quality meal made with REAL food. This is just an example bro. A wok and crockpot should be tools on every body builders arsenal.

I would skip the cold cuts. Anything that comes in a box or a wrapper is bad for you.

Stick with fresh (not processed) meats, canned tuna, Omega 3 eggs (cook these in your wok), fresh veggies (frozen and canned are fine. Watch the sodium), lower glycemic carb sources like old fashioned oats, brown rice, and sweet potatoes. Fruit is good for you and tasty too. Berries are your best bet. They are full of nutrients and antioxidants. Also don't forget the fats. ANPB, nuts like almonds, walnuts, pistachios, chasews, Avocados, and fish oil oil supplements. All this can be prepared with a microwave or wok. Everything listed should be a staple in every BBers diet imo.

Foreman chicken?

Chicken breast raw is low fat, so how is foreman chicken going to be deleterious diet wise?

 

[Black Boxster]

Listen to Southern Lord..good solid advice!!!!

If you can't afford a personal chef you better learn to cook ASAP!!!
take a local cooking class, learn the basics, meet pretty girls...then throw out all the recipes you learned in class and cook from Needto's book!!!!
