its not even just that. it definately does make things less confusing but it also prevents you from making a huge mistake in believing that someone or some literature is going to be able to tell you the perfect diet that will carry you through your venture. it doesnt work that way. you do need a basic foundation (like i provided or there are countless others out there) for a start. but that is all you get, a place to start. you will have years of self teaching to do from there. you have to conduct research on yourself and keep logs to be able to develop an understanding of what foods, in what combinations, at what amounts will do for you. that is where so many people fall into the trap that limits their true growth potential. people used to tell me all the time dont eat to many carbs they will put more fat on than anything. i kept feeling so tired until i ate carbs but i limited myself by listening to the trainers and books that told me i needed no more that 400g of carbs per day. i was stuck at about 190lbs at my same 20% bf average that i carry now. when i stopped listening to all the claims from others that they could tell me what i need and started going with my gut and eating enough carbs to be energetic all day (800+g at that time) and i started chugging milk all day (everyone said that would also make me to fat) i started growing better than ever. i put on another 40 lbs still at 20% bf. i was getting acused of using gear left and right and the funny thing was is that i hadnt even considered gear yet. that was in the days where i thought that with hard work and dedication alone with no drugs i could be another jay cutler.
