Foods!

[Fashong]

Right now I am bulking, it is hard to gain weight without stuff like pasta and pizza, etc. Is it ok to eat stuff like pasta, lots of cheese, pizza, white bread for cottage cheese sandwhiches, wheaties. I heard stuff like pasta turns to sugar. I do not know what to eat.

At your size, 350g carbs and 150g of complete protein will be sufficient for growth. Pasta is a good food, keep it, but use in moderation (By that I mean don't eat 200g a day, everyday). Pizza, however, while helping you grow with all the carbs it contains, will also add a lot of bodyfat because of teh saturated fat content.

Get your 350g carbs a day from clean sources - potatoes, oats, veggies, pasta etc, and protein from complete sources - eggs, lean red meat, chicken, tuna etc.

The things you eat, the things you do.

Knowledge is the best key to getting fit, getting bigger, or cutting down. Read up, get yourself smarter, then get yourself bigger.

Pizza will surely get you bigger, trust me. And depending on your age, you'd probably burn it all off. I've got a friend who's 18, eats pizza at least once every 2 days, and doesn't diet at all. But he's ripped, because he's young and has a crazy high metabolism.

But if you're worried about it completely, I'd stay away from pizza.

just read in your goals, your hoping to grow upwards.. That's fantastic.. young bb'ers get those extra goals.

I just read your goals too.....You expect to grow 5 inches in a year...?

 

[Fashong]

Yes, I want to grow at least 5 inches in a year, I grew about 8 inches in a year before. Anyway after I reach those goals I will always have higher ones but I do not expect to get any taller then that.
