19,20 years old – for a length of time though my calories were likely 3500 a day, I was barely hitting 60, 65g protein a day, whatever the usda recommended amount is.
I remember eating pop tarts near midnight every night feeling like I was starving.
Still I trained daily.
Today, 10 and change hours at work, drank one gatorade during the day, ate three breaded chicken patties, two on buttered bread, and drank a quart of apple juice.
Pretty low calorie. 30g protein.
And I thrive.
You can get away with eating to both extremes very different from what is recommended as the norm – whether that’s for civilians who don’t train, for bodybuilding, and everything in between.
You can eat and have it effect you more than how you train.
You can train, and have it effect you more than how you eat.
Somewhere out there someone is more jacked and awesome than you, and they’re doing it with less than you – no limitations, just desire.
Just desire, a burning need to ___.
Since you’re reading this at least part of that fill in the blank is to be big & strong.
It’s attainable for all, trust me, attainable for all.
…goes to the gym…
However I did repeat the same meal with corn chips and milk after the gym.
Today choosing food over sleep during that debate.
The chicken patties are just chicken breast and wheat, they’re decently priced.
I found a very good price on beef.
Food prep a bunch of hamburger and chicken patties on buttered bread, stock the fridge with milk, the cabinet with fruit juice while keeping a container each of apple and grape juice in the fridge always cold.
I don’t eat in a way other than how normal should be.
Just stick to real food, eat well, don’t stress the details.
