My biggest pet peeve... (not really off topic)

[Black_Spit]

Regarding bodybuilding/nutrition in general is when people say "I don't have time" to do this or that.

None of us have any time. Seriously.

I get up at 4:00 am, get to the gym at 5, get home, fix breakfast/lunches for the family, take kids to school during school year, get to work by 9:00 am, by the time I get home at 6 pm, I take the kids to dance class, karate, wrestling or whatever it is that day, and I'm home by 8-9.

On Sunday, I cook 14 meals (lunch and dinner for 7 days) of chicken/rice, beef rice, or whatever itis I'm eating that week, and put them in tupperware containers. This literally takes two hours.

This is not to say that I'm necessarily the busiest guy on the forum. I'm sure that there are other ways to do it, maybe even better than mine, but, you cannot honestly tell me that you don't have time when he rest of us are making it happen.

/end rant that will do no good

I'm a 10 - 14 an hour a day at work myself man, its not the easiest thing in the world but it isn't impossible, the amount of time most people spend procrastinating and complaining on how or why they can't, they could of just sucked it up and done it.

My main issue at the moment is how to handle nutrition post w/o when my "free time" is about 2 - 4 hours before I need to go to sleep. Exercise never really disrupts sleep, food either but I wonder if I could be recovering at a greater pace if my digestive system wasn't working when I'm asleep.

Although I agree with the spirit of your post, some people would dream to have a 9-6 job. Some people work a lot more than that.

[wave_length]

I'm just a lazy slacker, that's why I don't prepare my meals. If I wanted to, it would be no problem.

Yeah, lets go with the spirit, lol... the point is that it's not like I have free time very day to sit around cooking my meals.

LOL, well you're clearly not one of those people complaining about not having enough time though.

reps for lulz though

[Carnage44]

I agree.

That is just code for, "I'm too lazy to work hard."

The good thing about it is that body-composition wise, it's completely irrelevant anyway. I'm all for putting in the work into things that matter, like training.

[tcatcrawler]

there's still the fact that you have to do the dishes?

but i'm hoping that the ones who complain are the ones like me who are college students and do not have the resources of a family kitchen...

It's not completely irrelevant what you eat in general, but it's also not necessary to prepare 6 meals a day.

I guess I don't follow you...are you just saying that it's just as good to get some meals from McDonalds if you pick the right stuff?

I guess it is, but, my way is MUCH cheaper and tastes better IMO, and I can guarantee you I won't find any foreign pubic hairs in the food I prepare myself.

I agree with the cost issue, the taste issue only if you are a good cook and don't have good restaurants around.

lamo! But pubes have teh thermogenic properties!

When it comes to fast food, though they may make a point of saying look at this "healthy choice" I don't think you can pick the "right stuff" to me it's all detrimental.

Homemade, Cheap and tasty is the way to go.

I mean, you could always get a chicken breast and a potato and a salad almost anywhere, or a nice steak and vegetabes at a nicer place...

I don't have time is my way of saying that my time is important enough that I don't want to spend it making terrible tasting food.

You want a medal or something?

[reaperschild]

whether you get your food from ice cream or chicken makes no difference as long as minimums are met (protien efas) when it comes to composition. except for water weight. timing is irrelevent as i only eat 2-3 meals a day same like serge did because it comes down to daily calories

I am a stay at home father and still do not get everything I need to get done accomplished. I do have priorities which I get done and that is why they are called priorities. If exercise and working out is a priority you will find time to do it over your other daily activities. However, if you are neglecting certain aspects in your life because of your training, then that is another issue and good idea for a thread.
