Ok, so this is my first "real" post here, aside from the introductory one.
Right now, I am in the bulking phase. I am sure I am doing it the wrong way. When I began my routine (July/August), I was about 194lbs, now I am at 225lbs. A lot of this is fat though. I went from 19% body fat to 25-27%. I am sure I am doing plenty of things wrong, and that is why I have joined this forum. I am sure one of the biggest things I am doing wrong is my diet. I was told to eat like a pig, and I have been. But I have been eating nothing but crap. Chips, pizza, beer. About a month ago I started taking creatine and protein shakes, other than that, no supplements. I am very regimented in my workout routine, and have not faltered on that part.
I have also seen huge strength gains.
EX: started with MAX bench on 100lbs, now up to 160lbs+.
My main concern is when I begin to cut, around January, are there affordable and efficient ways to maintain a cutting diet? All the info on here is kind of overwhelming at first. I work full time, and am also a full time student, so my money/time is kinda limited. I have carved away time for workouts, but I am mostly worried about $$$ for the diet and cooking time. I mean I saw some sample diets on here that you had to eat like 12 eggs in one day, thats a lot of money.
Anyways, maybe someone has a link to an article or post about my particular situation. I am trying to do all the research now before I try and implement a plan for January.
Any help is appreciated.
