MarkVI -- might as well get big right?

[MarkVI]

In. Your advice is always positive and helpful, and you're an inspiration to us skinny guys! I hope to see some form videos too.

Thanks man! Glad to be an inspiration to someone!

As for form videos -- videos to have my form checked? Eh, I think I'll skip those lol. but yeah maybe a video of how I do a certain exercise or something could be in order.

No doubt, nothing like fast tracking a week's worth of cooking with a chicken production line. I might start doing this when I go back to university.

I BBQ'd 10bs this morning at 6 a.m. -- it was pretty much ftw....should last about 4 days

Well this is me right now:





But I'm doing well. We should catch up for realz....phone time, perhaps??

Dieting :\ well....sounds, yeah. Makes you feel good in the mirror though! I feel like I might be joining you in not too long. Can't bulk forever amirite? Phone time fo sho, I want to hear the latest news and gossip lol

Yaassss! I'm so in on this thread! X

UK representin. What city do you live in? I spent a little time in London and traveled about there for a week, it was a lot of fun.



Rest Day

[MarkVI]

Diet so far:

#1 - Pork roast and red potatoes
#2 - Granola and yogurt + whey
#3 - more pork roast, nothing else lol
#4 - Chicken in 2 high fiber wraps
#5 - Beef and broccoli stir fry
#6 - Almonds and "whey dough"

I hit about 400grams protein, ~250 carbs and ~ 90 fat if I figured it out right....about 3500 cals

[brendbro]

in terms of supplements, you take any?

[ananf72]

Nice!!! Why didn't I see this earlier? Will be in!

[foodpr0n]

In dis b!tch!

[determined4000]

What kinds of foods were you expecting? donuts lol. Well as you can see most of my meals are around 600 calories on average (yesterday was a-typical that the first 2 were so large in comparison) . I feel the kind of food does matter to a much larger extent than is the popular dogma around here. The quantity of micronutrients of my diet compared to a diet of junkier food of the same macros is night and day. But when it comes down to it....the type of food is not even close to being the most important.

Now only if we could come up with a cool acronym and maybe others would catch on.

[DTrulez616]

Do I even have to post and say im in? You know im keeping an eye on this log.

[MarkVI]

in terms of supplements, you take any?

Yeah, off an on I use them....

Whey - always
Creatine -sometimes
Fish oil - 6 grams everyday
Pre - WO - only when I'm dieting and I usually use a scivation product because DMAA is not real friendly to males

Nice!!! Why didn't I see this earlier? Will be in!

Good to have you!

In dis b!tch!

yeah buddy, you KNOW every mention of whey in here is ellite xt

Now only if we could come up with a cool acronym and maybe others would catch on.

How about DELAD Don't Eat Like A Dumbass .... what do you think?

I'm not sure...and going and looking at my bottle sounds like a lot of work....I'll do it tomorrow lol

I like it MMDELAD.

Im guessing 300mg
suggestion: buy the 3x strength-->900mg dha and epa in 1200-1400mg caps
dha and epa content is all that matters and you will save money (and cals) buy taking few caps



Sig updated

any 3x strength that has been distilled for impurities (will say this specifically on bottle or that it follows some sort of guidelines for manufacturing)

[Webber91]

Subbed bro!

[DTrulez616]

Mind if I add that acronym to my sig?

Good to have ya bud, I'm lurking in yours, just don't post a lot - you're killing it!
mmdelad ftw

Do it up bro - how is the new job?

[foodpr0n]

On MMDELAD...can be a stupid extreme too As with IIFYM.

You're one of da smart ones who can actually practice moderation. 80/20. I love that.

XT whey dough FTW! Brb, thanks for reminding me to stock up

The extreme of MMDELAD would be a dumbass move and thus would not fit into MMDELAD.....I think I got all the bases covered

Moderation is great...I basically eat the "clean" foods like standard bb'ng stuff all the time until my body goes "CRAP! WE NEED SOME ____ RIGHT NOW!" and then I go get my fill and back onto what I want.

It also helps if you can cook and your food tastes good Now....if only I could figure out how to bake, I'd be set.

[foodpr0n]

pshhh. baking?
xt + splenda + milk + pb(optional) + cocoa

[MarkVI]

you got me there. Who needs to bake when you can make protein cookie dough?

[determined4000]

IMO
9 of 10 IIFYMers don't claim IIFYM to stress moderation, but rather to glorify eating junk
and they totally ignore (and tell others to do the same) 90% of what constitutes proper nutrition, even though the forum is supposed to be about...nutrition

[foodpr0n]

and use some IIFYM skills and mix it roughly through some softened vanilla ice cream!

[canuck17]

Interested for sure on this log, will be lurking! good luck bro!

I eat a lot of good foods, but also a lot of rubbish. I eat a lot of food in general.
I worked out my micros for a day during this week and have found that (taking these figures with a pinch of salt) I was hitting 200% on most daily recommendations for micros, and was under in only two. Now, obviously the fact that I train means I would require more than an average person, and these daily requirements are a load of crap anyway. However, I thought that it was worth mentioning.

Agreed -- though one thing to keep in mind is even though they're on this website, having a nutritious diet may not be a priority....just like we could be on an investing website or financial advising website and be interested in day trading instead of say doing the smart thing and maxing 401k's and roth IRA's....because day trading tastes better, er....is more fun.

oh no you didn't.

Good to have you man

It's cool, you have me

I don't know how you do it....I can make cookies, like regular old cookies and that's it....I've tried some actual recipes and it turns into an episode of I Love Lucy. I'm blaming genetics!

Yeah you eat a lot of cereal - I think that's where the numbers come from.

Newark Castle FTW! That's in Port Glasgow right or right outside of it? There's a really nice park. I went to Greenock just for a day and part of that was a trip over to newark castle. SO cool. have you been there?




Day's been fun so far. At my moms and helping her with a lot of things since she has cancer and can't do a whole lot at the moment. I am TIRED. But time to go hit legs for the first time in a month or so because of a back injury flare up....wish me luck
