I've been there.

Food is expensive as f*** in Rome. If the university you're studying at has dining facilities, take advantage of them. Don't be afraid to break your macros and live a little when...

I tried quitting coffee, but one day into that, I got *the mother of all crippling headaches* and decided I'm never going to stop drinking coffee. Why? Because I never want to feel that level of pain...

Whey protein digests much faster than meat--just keep that in mind when you're meal planning.

You could fill out a bit more in the chest area. You're looking great overall, though!

Calorie tracking apps are your best friend--but you have to be 100% honest with yourself. Track *everything* you eat. Yes, even that small handful of mixed nuts and that couple of pieces of pineapple...

I suck at cooking rice, so I just get the pre-cooked stuff too. Works great for me! I'll update if I get cancer from the packaging or some crazy sh**.

^ what he said.
Nut butters especially. Frickin loaded with calories. Don't eat or drink the "reduced fat" version of anything.

I second the peanut butter thing. PB is loaded with calories.

I'm not promoting the low-GI diet...I'm just saying that oatmeal has more staying power than (for example) a bowl of frosted flakes.

Also, if you're suffering while eating a bowl of oats, you're...

Care to elaborate? Are oats BAD for bodybuilding?

Steel cut oats > all other oats IMO. Everything else tastes like f00kin papier mâché.

They're a cheap, low glycemic carb that keeps you full and sustains energy for a good workout. That's why it's...

If you're thin all over except for your belly, you probably don't need to be trying to cut.

Main reason being, your body needs protein to function, and if it can't get it from your diet, it will get it from (guess where)...
Your hard earned GAINZ *GASP*

When I'm running, I don't listen to music. I meditate. I clear my mind and focus entirely on my breathing and my stride. It's pretty relaxing to spend 20-30 min *not* thinking of life's stressors.

Satisfying my post-workout increased appetite. I would get so hungry after doing an hour of cardio that I would eat back 3x what I burned off.

I use sugar + half & half, but I'll drink it black if I have to. I especially love French-pressed, but only when I have the time to make it. I usually just put it in an Ekobrew cup and use my keurig...

^ so much this.

This. I tried Taco Bell's attempt at fresh mex, those cantina things...it was a cold bowl of fail. The chicken was extremely poor quality, the rice was way overcooked, and it was just overall not...

This is genius. I'm going to have to try it!
