You arent interested in counting macros?

[Younggymrat]

Sorta dont know what that means...

[LiL P]

Yikes.. im not sure how anyone could be into any sort of weight training and no know what a macro is i suggest you read some of the sticky thread maybe Dieting 101 then post any questions you have after that on here Good luck!

[Younggymrat]

I know it means calories, fats, carbs ect.
A lot of the top power lifters just eat what they can get there hands on.

I know thats why i asked if you wer interested in doing it? Its kinda must for effective fat loss.. Anyway read dieting 101

Also whats your BF%? your gonna need to calculate your TDEE and BMR

[Younggymrat]

Im about 23%body fat maybe a little more.

[RaginCajun]

What does your diet look like right now?

How many cals, pro, carbs, and fat are u getting in each meal?

I bet the pro power lifters that you speak of know exactly what and how much food/cals they are ingesting.

What are your specific goals? Timeframe?

[Younggymrat]

Like I said I eat what I can get my hands on.but at the moment my throat is swolen to the point to where I cant swalloe big foods. So my diet consists of spaggettios and chicken noodle soup...lol.
I need to be below 250 by end of january.
Im 254 with 3 cans of Campbells chicken noodle soup In my system. But I need strength gains.

campbells chicken noodle soup? WTF!

i bet you will not find that anywheres in any of these threads!

why is your throat swollen, glands? infection?

you will never meet your goals eating what you want!

how can we comment on your diet when you do not post times and foods that you eat.

no one is just going to give you diet and say try this. you need to do some homework!

[Younggymrat]

Please reread the thread? I never once asked for someone to spoonfeed me a diet. I was asking for some good meals?

You gotta change up from that eat whatever i see diet your currently doing or else it'll be really hard to drop a few pounds. And without your daily calories, and macros, thats like doing a test and hoping not to fail without even having studied. It'll be really hard...

you need to do some homework!

This..

Iv said twice already Dieting:101 sticky

There is also a recipe section where you will find lots of clean meals

If you have a good blender, drop some cooked steak, sweet potatoes, and veggies in it and purée that stuff and drink it!

Way better than canned anything when you're sick. Those soups are loaded with salt and fat and are some of the worst things to eat.

I have this collection. Only thing I don't like is that sooooooooo (ooooooooooooo...) many of the recipes are loaded with protein powder... Not a fan of cooking with protein powder myself, but there is a few things I like in the book. The rest of the collection is a waste of memory on my hard-drive. Just my opinion...
