Beginning Diet

**ethan1029** · 08-18-2012, 10:21 PM

I am new to the sport and have always trained and eat like a normal high school athlete.

I am almost 21 now and want to get into bodybuilding so I was wondering if a few members on here could lay out some basic ground rules for me a healthy diet to do some bulking the right way as I train.

Thanks

hey ethan welcome man! u came to the right place!

to start out how bout posting complete stats: age weight height bf%

also read stickies:
1. how to bulk
2. dieting 101: cutting

u may wanna bulk now but IMO itll do u good to learn a bit about both now.

at 15-17%bf IMO u should cut down to 10-12% then bulk.. of course this depends on how much fat u mind carrying around. personally i wouldnt bulk past 12%. cutting down will give u good base knowledge of how foods affect u and u will learn a lot about dieting IMO. it shouldnt take u too long to get there. maybe 3months.. (give or take).. what id do..
