few pointers for fat teen.

[Younggymrat]

Hi all. 6 foot 250lbs here lifting since I was 15.
18 now.
I was 200 when I started and basically I dont follow a diet. I eat whatever I can find. Example I have about 4 peanut butter and jelly sandwiches on wheat a day with a big glass of whole milk..how unclean is that? And I read the bulking101. I understand macros but not fully. How do I decide how many calories I need a day? And about how much protein should I consume. Sorry I dont want spoon fed awnsers. But im just getting frustrated. Thanks in advance!

to find out how many calories you need in a day you need to figure out your BF% (a rough estimate will do), you can either get someone who knows how to use calipers, or use a place like bodpod (try google) or just post a pic of your self here (leave out your face if you wish) and people can give you there guesses..

for a start get rid of your peanut butter and jelly sandwich diet and eat things like what is listed here:

and do some cardio.

Welcome to changing your life! Keep in mind slow wins this race and consistency is key. And getting started whether perfect or not is the most important step and you have done that.

GOOD LUCK to YOU!

Hey Ryno~ Welcome too! Best thing would be to start a new thread so you can get personal help designed just for you. This way the thread does not get confusing. THANKS!

Hope to see it soon!
