I need nutrition help!

Started this discussion. Last reply by Craig Crawford Feb 14, 2010. 7 Replies

I've been lifting for years and have a pretty solid base, but nutrition has never been my strong point. I eat pretty much whatever I feel like, and I finally want to make eating properly part of my…Continue

p.s. the first step is knowing exactly what you are putting into your body. If you don't know what fats you are taking in, that leaves a window open to be taking in bad fats that will not only hinder your results, but also affect your health…

The meats are always lean. Top round, top sirloin, at least 96% lean ground beef, buffalo meat, and I usually trim the pork chops before cooking them. I honestly couldn't tell you what kind of fats I'm eating, I don't track my food…

try different tempos and repetitions counts when training. change them on a regualr basis, lifting heavy low rep maybe every other week. Don't forget, growth takes place outside of the gym. It's what you do when you're sitting down…

Meat and potatoes are great for bulking! You have to be eating sufficient amounts of course to grow, but they work. If the meats aren't lean, make sure they are. If you're eating crbs, make sure you're eating ALOT! In my honest…

I need nutrition help!

I've been lifting for years and have a pretty solid base, but nutrition has never been my strong point. I eat pretty much whatever I feel like, and I finally want to make eating properly part of my routine. I'm a very picky eater and my diet consists mainly of meat and potatoes. My main downfall is candy, I'm a sugar fanatic! Any time I want to lean out a bit, I just eliminate the sugar and the fat drops real quick. I currently eat 4-5 meals a day that consist of meat of some sort with either…See More

Profile Information

What is your REAL story? Do you compete? Do you wish to compete? Are you on a transformation journey? Website??
I'm on a never ending journey to improve myself. I don't compete, and I have no intentions of doing so. I do this because I absolutely love it! There's nothing like the sense of accomplishment when you beat your personal best lift, the changes you can see in the mirror, and the self-discipline this sport gives you.
Philosophies and Beliefs:
Shut the F*** up and train! When I'm working out, leave me alone and don't talk to me. If you want to ask questions or talk about anything at all, wait until after I'm done working out. Train hard, train heavy, and always push past your limits.
Words of Advice to REAL competitors and those on REAL transformation journeys:
I don't compete, so I don't have any words of wisdom for competitors. But to those on a transformation journey, stick to it! No matter what you hear on TV and in the supplement ads, changes don't come overnight. This sport is one of dedication and in order to reach your goals, you have to stick through the entire journey, especially the tough parts. The end result is well worth the journey!
What are your favorite supplements and why?
Gaspari SuperPump 250 gives me a pump like I've never felt before. Glutamine is another favorite for its recovery abilities. My muscles don't hurt nearly as long when I add glutamine to my supplement list.
Who do you look up to in the fitness industry?
Anyone doing the sport without drugs.
