That is true, I really don’t want to rush this and basically forget everything the next day. 
Im losing weight on this diet I’m on, its called the paleo diet.
Basically its only fruits, veggies, and meat, fish, and eggs.
no carbs, no dairy, no sugars, no high glycemic foods
so obviously my calorie intake is low, how do I boost it up, what sort of foods should I eat to “bulk up” and still be on this diet.
??
Why no dairy? Fat free yogurt, milk, cheese, ect. are all pretty good.
As for the no sugars and carbs, technically fruits contain the sugar fructose and veggies contain cellulose which is a carb.
For your actual question, this paleo diet plan looks like its main purpose is for weight loss so if you want to bulk, I wouldn’t follow it exactly. I say add some carbs into the diet if you want to bulk, oatmeal sure as hell won’t be that bad once a day.
If you want to stick to it, then to boost up calorie intake, all I can think of is eat more of what you’re eating; increase the portions of your meals. If you eat 4 egg whites for breakfast, add 2 or 3 more or add an extra chicken breast to your dinner (though both of those are only about a 100 calories difference).
good post!! lol, you are powering up!!
FUCK, there is nothing else to say!! lmao
Only took about 6 months. 
Who here has massive calves? What did you do to build them?
What about this link?
this dude in the article said…
“I broke the threshold that limits the growth of my calves and I infused my body with so much testosterone, my calves exploded with new muscle size and astounding strength”
in other words a lot of steriods…where do you get these articles duc???

cardio your ass on a strider , high resistance low impact .
been doing that for almost 2 years , my quads and calves booms .
this is the only cardio machine that makes your legs pumped , if youeat well .
I think I have big legs and calves - not too sure but man - after working out for 2 months now I think I’m bigger but still not too sure lol. I guess I wanna get big hella fast without the roids but I guess it can’t happen cause people tend to bulk up anywhere from 2-3lbs of Muscle mass in a month. What’s a strider machine? LOL I don’t use anything for cardio except treadmills.

Good question…but I haven’t been sick since '98, and I wasn’t serious about getting big back then. I was a stickboy then, compared to today. So what DO you guys do when you’re sick?
I’ve been wondering something similar as well this week; more about daily calorie consumption though.
My friend’s has a throat infection and needs to get his tonsils taken out, he’s lost a so much weight already, his shirt today was actually loose.
I on the other hand haven’t gotten sick yet. My throat’s been annoying since Monday, eating’s not very funny so taking in even a regular-sized meal is a bit of a challenge. :rolleyes:
Best solution, make a high calorie shake and chug it down?
How important is it to change up your routine? I’ve basically been doing the same type of exercises since I started lifting 4 years ago… I change them up maybe every 4 weeks, but they’re the same list of exercises… (including but not limited to) bar bench, dumb bench, chinup, deadlift etc… I know it’s a good thing to find new ways to hit your muscles, but is that something that you must pursue, all the time, in the interest of growth? Can you build your body by exercising the same way year by year? I’m just wondering because I haven’t really been seeing any results lately… I’m stronger on the flat bench but that’s it.
I asked my friend some stuff before. And he’s basically a rock of muscle.
After talking about it, he said "Yeah, I stop working out when I’m sick."
So I told him that I was sick, and then he had to clarify:
“Dude, unless you’re stay-at-home sick and you vomit every two seconds, you should be at the gym. A cough means nothing.”
Ok its been two months since I’ve started working out and I just passed page 6 of this thread which means I went through only 600 post and there was a lot of information about dieting. This is what my diet is like right now.
Carbs/Protein/Fat = 55/35/15
Reason for working out is because my wife saw me at the airport after not seeing each other for a year and her reaction was WHAT HAPPEN? LOL - DANG
I weighed at 219-223lb at 5’7" and round looking
Now I’m 193lbs with some muscles I think - I get the looks at the gym from people so that probably means something.
After reading up to page 6 I see that you can’t cut and gain muscle at the same time.
I’m eating roughly a 2800 calorie diet per day
385 grams of carbs, no more than 46 grams of fat, and 210 grams of protein a day.
My question is I think imma start cutting up and doing cardio 3 times a week on my off days and still lift weights. If I keep my current routine the way it is I should stay at 193 lose the fat and possibly gain muscle? LOL - I think I know the answer but I’d like someone elses opinion.
Monday - chest, tris, calves
Tuesday - Legs
Wednesday - Shoulders, Bis, Forearms
Thursday - Rest - Cardio 1 hour and 1/2 - Low intensity - fat burning heart rate
Friday - Back - Calves
Sat - same as thursday
Sun - same as thursday
I mean I guess if I want to cut I should cut down my intake 1000 calories or something - I dunno LOL. Thanks for the opinion guys.

It depends for me…If I get sick early in the week…I just put that week of my program off until the next, or when I feel better. So say I get my monday 5x5 workout in…but tuesday on I’m sick…well next week I’ll start my 5x5 over…
If I get sick towards the end of the week and only miss like one workout, then I go on with the program and just consider that workout a lost cause.
What’s the percentage for gaining weight and cutting?
Rome said he does 40/40/20 for weight gain while another source says 55/30/15 where the 30 % is about 1 gram of protein per lb of weight.
For cutting I don’t really know except you do a hell of a lot of cardio. My plan is to keep the protein ratio the same 1 gram of protein per lb of weight and cut everything else down - fats to about 10% and the rest carbs.
1700 calories total daily - daily intake for a 124lb person
840 = 210 grams of protein
170 = 19 grams of fat
690 = 170 grams of carbs
Is this what you guys do or do you cut carbs and fats down even more?
My goal is to cut up and hit around 175 then clean bulk up from there. If there is too much of something in the diet please let me know. Thanks

Just find where what your maintenance level is calories wise. Then if you want to cut start decreasing calories and/or adding cardio slowly until you are losing the desired amount of weight on a weekly basis.
Sorry if I didn’t make myself clear - I meant what percentage of each nutrient are you suppose to seperate your calories in to?
For example if I wanted to bulk up I would add anywhere from 250 to 500 more calories per day to gain and from that 55 percent is carbs, 30 percent is proteins , 15 percent is fat.
To lose weight you simply decrease calories - less in more out = weight loss.
What is the percentage suppose to be when wanting to cut up? Is it the same as bulking up or is it a differnt number. I’m looking for percentages so I can tweak my diet according to the actual percentages for cutting up.
Is it 30% carbs, 60% protein, 10% fat for example?
Don’t be so strict on counting everything because it’s not all that great. If you keep it simple, high protein meals with complex carbs and little fat every 3 hours, you’ll bound to see some change.
