Forced feeding

[190]

@ Built - is this site set up for those trying to "drop pounds"?... I entered my info and it said "Your goal weight is greater than your starting weight". Yeah that's kinda the idea?

Just fake that part. They don't let you put it in the way you want.

Fuckers.

A little frustrating to say the least (fuckers)... It keeps kicking me back w/o saving the info (goals,ect).

@ ihate - i am with you on the choco-milk... I am having a tough time finding "whole choco-milk"... It is usally the 0-2% BS... The big fulcuation in my cal & pro lately has been egg nog! I love it! Unfortuanately egg nog season is over!

buy whole milk and add herseys syrup that's what I do. I think it tastes way better than premade chocolate milk anyways.

@ built - I started using fitday based on your input... kind of a pain in the ass... is there any benifit to using it other than being electronic? I have a better success using pen/paper to track cal/carb/fat? Not trying to bust on the system your pushing, and i am open to suggestion, i just dont see many benifits above and beyond pen/paper?

 

[ihateschoolmt]

Nah just use a pen and paper if you want.

It took me a little bit to get used to fitday, but it gets easier.
I found I ate similar foods throughout the week, and fitday makes it easy to duplicate.

It can also find caloric info on foods for you.
But nothing wrong with just using paper.

sometimes you just have to eat and suck that shit up. write out a diet plan and what times you will eat what meals and make sure even if you feel like you cant eat it OR you are not hungry, fuck it, just eat that shit anyway. I just slammed 2 cups of wheat pasta, a peanut butter sandwich and 2 cans of tuna and GET THIS, i was NOT hungry before i ate it. you can do it man

 

[ManInBlack]

oh yeah, i have seen some mentions of fit day. i personally use livestrong.com to track my food they have EVERYTHING on there that you can think of as far as foods go. you can also enter in your own shit. hope that helps, take care brother

All,

Thanks for the great input. For me it has been more convinetinet to track cal/pro/carb/fat using pen and paper, since the only big variation in my diet is on the weekend. beyond that i have found that i manage the lethagery/sleepiness by consuming a large portion (1500'ish cal) right before bed, and i sleep REALLY well when more full than normal, almost uncomfortably full. I would still love to hear other opinions/though processes used by people struggling to meet cal/day.

Caffeine for Energy but suppresses appetite

190, your 31. so am i. i kicked my tiredness in the nuts with caffeine. and btw there is nothing fictitous about the term "hardgainer"

I agree, but then caffeine is also an appetite suppressant, which may be counter productive.

Not sure if its just a mental thing or what but when I take a multi-vitamin in the AM it seems like I have more of an appiete all day
