exactly my friend, I remember years back when i was trying to reach a certain weight, each stone to me was so hard to achieve it was driving me crazy, until I looked at everything I put into my mouth. I was eating like a 14 stone man so why would I get to 15stone if i wasnt eating like one! once i adjusted everything to suit my new intended weight i would jump up on the scales, couple this with the way i was cycling and training and i made huge improvements in a short peroid of time but without doubt food is the key to growth. Its simple you want to reach 200-230lbs your going to have to start eating like one.
