I used to be like you too man. I knew I had to eat to grow, but I didn't, and I still wondered why I couldn't get bigger. I would always switch around my training, trying new programs in order to get huge, and I always ended up dissapointed and I blamed my lifting program. Nothing will work if you don't eat!!! So eat already!. Total calories are more important than macronuttient ratios. I wish I could start all over at your age knowing what I know now. I'm 25 and I've been lifting for probably 5 years but I didn't figure out nutrition until a year ago when I found this board and others like it. I have made great changes in my physique since then. This board is a huge pool of knowledge composed of hundreds of combined years of training experience. Use it. Otherwise five years from now you will finally figure things out, and say damn, I should have been doing this all along like the dudes on elite told me.
