Ok guys, I gained 20 pounds or so this winter. I only eat about 4 times a day and i usually eat pretty clean. I'm 5'10,230 and ive never done any type of steroid. I dont really have the time to eat 7 or 8 times a day. I wish i did but unfortunatly I dont. I had a very successful winter as far as gains in size and strength. My biggest problem is that every ounce of fat i gain is in my stomach. When i workout I notice my upper body looks pretty good then my stomach is just horrible. I usually eat 4 times a day and it consists of
3/4 cup of oats
8 ounces of skim milk
1 can of tuna
2. chicken sandwhich on wheat
enough chicken to equal 40g of protein or more
3. banana
2 potatoes
10 egg whites one egg
4. 2 cans of tuna
I gained well off of this although i know it doesnt seem like much. I've always had a belly even when i was leaner and smaller. I know i have to do cardio and that is no problem. My strength and size mean a lot to me so im unsure how much i should drop my carbs and things. I know i have to eat more protein and less carbs im just unsure when and how much cardio to do without losing a lot of size or strength. I gain weight really well to the point where my partner couldnt believe the size i put on. I had to work outside for the past week and barely had time to eat anything and i weighed myself and i didnt lose a pound. I know thats not the way to diet and im not wanting to diet like that but i figured i would have lost some water by then. I just didnt have the time to eat anything more then a few cans of tuna per day.
Everyone in my family is overweight. My genetics got me pretty big,but at the same time they haunt me when i try to lose. I bulked last winter and when i dieted i felt puny. My arms never really feel right to me unless they are water filled to the brim. I have a sort of screwed up build because my back and chest is pretty massive and my arms dont seem to be that big to me. I have been more of a powerlifter the past years. I nearly crossed the 500 pound bench this winter but fell short by about 20 pounds or so. I gained a lot of on my lifts so i called it successful but not i just feel like a lost cause. I can gain better then some people do on steroids. I can't lose basically anything but muscle. I worked out when i weighed myself after not eating and hit the same amount of reps that i usually do without a problem and felt even better because I was fully healed. I have a hard time working out without some sort of caffeine. I think a lot of my problem is that im mental. I'm not sure of it but as far as working out and worrying it seems to be that way. Either way i know i have too much bodyfat. I know my diet has to be fixed or its not going to matter what i do. Ill accept any criticism anyone wants to give me and id appriciate any diet someone might be able to help me with. I dont take protein shakes or creatine. Id like to at least wait til i fulfill all my goals before i consider myself no longer natural... Thank you...
