@onliest Can you please let me know what type of milkshake were you drinking for your bulk?
-
@zeebee the more expensive vanilla ice cream from Aldi without the gums, scoop of vanilla whey (not peaty), whole milk/water, ice
very tasty
-
@onliest yes those are my shit
-
@cokefiend I'm not touching whey anymore. I think brotein up to 1g/lb is a meme. Had much more success upping my carbs.
-
@onliest same, whey fucked my stomach up years ago. 1g/lb is a big protein psyop to sell all these nasty ass products w gums & emulsifiers in them. In the mean time, I'll be milk and ice cream maxxing
-
@cokefiend Yah the high protein fad needs to die. A doc I work with was eating protein chips the other day lol. I do well with dairy, beef and gelatin and around 100-120g total protein.
-
@onliest I honestly don't even track, I'm guessing I'm probably around 100g/day. But I'm pretty underweight rn 170 @ 6'3 trying to get to 180/190 it's been a struggle. I'm eating anything I can get my hands on
-
@cokefiend avoiding pufa obvi

@cokefiend That's funny I'm 6'3" 210 prolly 16-18% bf trying to cut down to like 190-195 now. I was in your shoes a little over a year ago.
If I was trying to gain weight I'd eat a lot of starches, pastries, sugar, ice cream, and 2%-full fat dairy. Just be careful eating too much fat because an excess will make you fat. I'd aim for less than 75g. I took the bulk too far up to around 230lbs and my mom called me fat.
-
@onliest Hahahaha when mom is calling you fat you probably took it a little too far.
I'm consuming all of those things probably just not enough. I get a good amount of fat from dairy and can tell it directly translate's to fat on the body but I feel like it's a healthy fat.
My workout's are also pretty intensive I love sprinting, jumping, and basketball so those burn a ton of cal's.

Second this! Eating over 200g of protein a day was wrecking my digestion and making me feel fat / full all the time. Been doing high carb low fat med protein lately and I feel like a superhuman. Ample protein is needed to put on some size but it’s not the end all be all
