My diet sucks, Does diet play a role in recovery? Soreness??

[mustang331]

Here is a post I posted about in the workout section

I started biking about 3 months ago, I was 194lbs at the time. Since then I really started to get into it, headphones heart monitor and all.. Now 3 months later I am doing about 45 minutes in the morning with a heart rate of about 155 average ( 25 years old ) and an hour at night with the same HR. Been eating pretty healthy, although I need a diet plan ( Will post in that section too )

I am now about 168lbs.. Don't get me wrong, I look awesome I love the way I feel and look, my love handles are almost gone and my vein in my bicep is almost out, I feel to be ripped though I will be about 155 which is WAYYY to light!!!

I want to slow my weight loss down allot, but I love to bike so much.. going through a break up with my G/F biking is the only way to get some stress out.

I do workout pretty heavy on M-W-F

My workout is like this, please let me know if I should change anything..

Obviously you guys see no legs here, and I know I need to do them, but my body for some reason GETS SO **** SORE.. For example EVEN if I don't do this much cardio because I do skip the morning cardio sometimes My legs ARE SORE 24x7, ALL THE TIME!! The bike kicks the crap out of them.. I would loveto throw squats in there, but I can promise you all if I do, I will not be able to do ANYCARDIO at all.. I get and stay sore for atleast a week after squating ( and yes I used to do it all the time so my body was used to it )
It sucks because I cannot NOT NOT! get sore, on any part of my body ( I wonder if diet has a role in this )

So that's it boys, any input you wanna tell me??


Here is my crappy diet.

I usually don't eat right after my cardio in the morning, I drink a shake sometimes but usually not.
I eat maybe 4 meals a day being chicken, turkey burgers, brown rice, sashimi, steak ( lean )..

I know I need to eat more, I am getting almost nothing for calories and usually eat almost no carbs.. I am cutting right now, but scared I am losing WAYYY to much muscle!

You spent a whole page listing your workout routine, and two crappy sentences describing your diet?

Come on, dude. How about a little effort?

And there will always be some soreness after working out. If this was easy, everyone would be doing it.

Diet plays a HUGE role in recovery. Your body cannot grow without the nutritional materials to do so.

Diet is the most Important thing. Its numero uno!

I am 100% with badman on this bro..Have you took his advice and read the bulking sticky? It will give you a baseline on how/what to eat then you can post up your diet after you configure your diet...try to include the times you will be eating as well... We will be able to better assit you at that point bro.....good luck
