[quote][i]Originally posted by DizzyRebel[/i] Erm what do you know about nutrition? can you tell me about macronutrients, the thermic effect of food, how calorific surplus works etc? You NEED 6 meals a day, albeit they dont have to be large (morning meals should be larger and night meals should be smaller) if you intend to grow, you need to eat every 2-3 hours to stop your metabolism going catabolic. Lots of people train well enough but probably 80% of those people under eat - you dont understand that to get big you need to eat big. You need to understand the science behind eating before giving people your half assed approach to diets. If you want to get bigger (and that means lean muscle, not just weight), then you have to eat more calories than you expend. What a revelation, right? You'd think that was common knowledge, but one of the most common mistakes people make when trying to gain weight is consuming an inconsistent number of calories. They claim to eat "all of the time," but their fast metabolism somehow keeps them from gaining any weight. Checking through many of their food intake records, you can see that they eat 4,500 calories one day and 1,500 the next. When you average it out over a week, it's obvious that they're just consuming enough calories to maintain their current weight. There are many ways to calculate how many calories you need each day. A simple method is to multiply your weight in pounds by 16. So a 200-pound guy would need: 16 x 200 = 3,200 calories per day If he's trying to gain weight, add an additional 20% to the above calculation: 3,200 calories x 0.20 = 640 more calories per day Adding 3,200 and 640 tells you how many calories (3,840) this guy should eat per day to gain weight. (Of course, your activity level determines whether these numbers need to be adjusted up or down.) You should strive to gain half a pound to one pound each week — more than that, and you're putting on too much fat weight, assuming your not on gear. And thats just the simple way - if your really interested in how to properly calculate exactly how many calories you need to build muscle then i have another article i can post. [/quote]
