Opinions for a first timer...

[centy]

A meal doesn't have to be a 5 course dinner. You want to space out several smaller meals thru the day.

I just finished my second breakfast of the day. 6 scrambled egg whites with a link of turkey sausage. (First breakfast was a protein shake with a bananna, blueberries and flax oil.)

You have to learn to eat to grow. I'm hungry all the time.

6 scrambled eggs...that would probably keep me full for 5 hours. I can most definitely try, but I'd like to find a list of foods that contain clean calories. I don't want to sit here and say "alright a pint of ben and jerrys before I go to bed everynight." I'd like to be able to keep a lean physique whilst putting the weight on. I understand that peanut butter, almonds, avocados, flax oil, blueberries, wheat bread, and brown rice are all top notch. Anything else I should consider?

i just gave you a 7 day plat. membership use that time to search the diet and training forums you will find plenty of sample diets and routines there.

Heres the thing, you cant eat properly now... you might eat more on your cycle. But then think about it logically... if you cant eat now then you stop eating like you on cycle and your testicles are shutdown... you will be properfucked. So at the end of the day, you ended up messing with some pretty serious stuff for no reason.

I have a question for you.. ok you're pretty light. I'm only about 185 and I just started my first cycle, but my lifts pound for pound are in many cases at the level or better than some guys of have juiced or juiced several times. So let me ask you.. what are you're lifts like?

 

[Noob123]

To be quite honest, Rekrul, my lifts are very weak. I just started hitting the gym again on Monday, so it's been 3 consistent days thus far (pretty much nothing, I know). 2 years ago, I was 135, and I stayed consistent in the gym for a solid 4 months. At the end of the 4 months, before I stopped due to school, I weighed in at almost 150...and I wasn't even eating more than 4 meals a day at that time. To answer your question more specifically, I was lifting GREAT for a 148 pounder. I was able to dumb-bell bench with 70s, easily 6 reps and comfortably 4 sets. Currently, I'm struggling with the 40s. I have a long road ahead of me, and I'm glad I found this site to be honest. I'm doing a good amount of research from here on in order to set up a great diet plan for myself.

Just yesterday there was a discussion on one of the boards about people saying EF is all about steriods and how the site promotes the use of them. People were questioning why the site has that rep and some members stated, just look at the site and the amount of ads for the stuff. Some people talk about that stuff , but others will lead you, with their own experience, to the right things to eat, the number of times a day to eat, and proper training methods. I'm new to this site also, but from all I've read I'd heed the advice of the experts on this site and let them tell you how to achieve the look you want to optain. Good things cost, take time, dedication and never come easy... be patient and listen. There are so many guys on EF that can help you but like some of them have told you, dont start out the way you're talking about starting. Do what they say and come back in a few months and give us an update. I'm sure you'll be pleased with yourself and most important, you'll feel good because of how you look - doin it the healthy way.
Peace and all the best to you.
