pizzas, chicken etc. good idea ???

[hillbill78]

okay i am just about to start working in an italian takeaway selling pizza & whole chickens. my question basically is that i go to the gym 3-5 times per week hitting each muscle group once but some twice. i have access to eat as much pizza and chicken as i want. the chickens are just whole chickens from a local farm cooked on a roticery whole. the pizzas are made on the premeces and sold. i can east as much as i want and was wondering if it is a bad idea to eat pizza and whole chickens most days? i dont mind puttin on some fat, will this also help build muscle ?
cheers

skip the pizza mate and stay with the chicken... focus on a clean diet, pay attention to your macros, and if you want to bulk, then increase caloric intake while still maintain your macros

Sounds like a dream come true...for a couple of weeks at least. I agree with above: chicken, chicken, chicken. I wish I had a free source of fowl!

4th on the chicken...working at a pizza shop would be a tease at its best.

Chicken is good.. The problem with pizza is the bread is usually not the best, and the cheese will just make you fat. You could get away with a pizza with wholemeal flower a small bit of tomoato sauce little or no cheese and some chicken or ham on it once or twice a week if you are not concerned with gaining a little chub.. The problem is if you eat chicken and nothing but chicken you will not be getting enough carbs.. that is why i recomend maybe some bread sticks or something like that to do a proper bulk. It is not ideal, but it will work

cheese will kill your mid section!!!!!! Stick with the rotisserie chicken and cheat with a little pizza but remember all the carbs and the sugars in the sauce. Then on top of it if you start loading the pizza with a bunch of pepporoni and sausage your into putting on fat.

Chicken Chicken and Only Chicken. Pizza is terrible for you, full of fat and sugar. A slice or 2 at the most as a cheat meal is my suggestion.

sorry but I canot take this seriously. This forum especially this section, c'mon now!!

[Far from massive]

Why is that ^^ its a lot more on point than a lot of recent posts have been.

I also vote for Chicken only.

Pops is right though the diet section would be a better place to post this question but as this is your 11th post I can certainly understand your posting it here. By the way as far as the diet section goes its a great place to get information, diet is probably the biggest part of body building and there is a Ton of good info there.

[POPS]

ok. I see that it was moved to the diet section.....

besides, check out some of the diets posted here and youll have a better idea on how you should approach your diet for your goals......

Gbrice has a good one....

This is kind of a silly question IMO, but if you're serious, i'll entertain it.

If you plan on living on mostly chicken, no, it's not a good idea. Notice I didn't mention pizza - pizza isn't anything near bodybuilding or even healthy food, and you should know that much. As for chicken - great source of protein, but you can't live o protein alone. You need a well balanced diet - lean proteins (multiple sources), complex carbs, and healthy fats.
