Looking to Hire nutritionist

[Tkanipe34]

I am looking for someone who can plan out my meals on a weekly basis. I prefer not to eat every 3 hours as My job normally does not let me. In which, That is part of the reason I am looking to hire some help. Me planning out for myself what to eat is easy, But counting my intake and knowing how much of what I should eat is a different story. I have done it on my own for a month now and haven't gained any. Plus, I never seem to get "full" during or after I eat my meals. Which, I am new to the nutrition side of body building, And I am in dire need of some help.

Any recommendations, for people, prices or anything of the like is appreciated!

Do you really want to waste your money on something like that? If you are not gaining weight or are not feeling full then you just need to eat more. It really is that simple.

Go here: http://iifym.com/tdee-calculator/ and calculate your TDEE.

Then consume more calories than your TDEE. It's really that simple. Don't waste your money on a "nutritionist."

If it fits your macros!

You don't need a nutritionist. It's too simple to waste money on.

So my TDEE is 2188. I should clearly intake around 2800. But where do i need to get it from (fats,carbs,protein)..... ??? And, Another one f my problems is how to measure correctly what I am eating.

6 grams of potatoes is 26 grams of carbs... that kinda thing is what I dont understand

Give this a good read. Everything you need to know is answered in there.

Also if you want to be accurate, buy a scale and weigh everything. Track it on a website such as MyFitnessPal.

Buy a cheap food scale or just use measuring cups/spoons. It doesn't really matter what you get your calories from. Just eat a variety of foods that you enjoy. If it's keeping track of calories you have a hard time with, go to myfitnesspal.com or loseit.com and get a calorie counting app.

If all else fails, just stuff your face and do a dirty bulk.

^ Pretty much. At 5'7" and 121 lbs, just eat and eat some more. Train hard. Muscle and weight gain will undeniably come.

Haha, I don't really want to "dirty" bulk. As it gives your body a bad look in my op. I am trying to bulk as clean as possible. But there is absolutely no way I can eat 6 times a day due to my job. Breakfast is always my best meal as every morning I have 1/2-1'1/2 cups of oatmeal with 4 eggs and a glass of whole milk.

When i was on the diet before I felt bloated, But my body was still always hungry, So i up'd my Carb intake to account for it. Which worked on the fullness but by my 4th meal I couldn't even take a bite. Which I know my body is all confused and trying to adapt, But after a month, My body should be at least able to get down a 4th meal.

Eat more in the morning if that's when you're the hungriest. I've never really done a traditional bulk yet but when I wasn't counting calories I literally ate half the house in the morning, and come time to eat again all of that stuff was digested so I just pigged out again. Meal timing isn't necessary so you could literally eat 1 or 2 massive meals a day if you wanted to.

Or if you really have problems eating a lot, buy a mass gainer. You'll basically be drinking fractions of your daily macros.

Total intake over the course of the day is what matters. You don't need to eat 6 times or any set number of meals and/or snacks. Total intake is what matters.

Ya, I have ON's Serious Mass. I only use it when i need a meal and I can't down some food. The mix ability of mass gainers is crap so i use it for last resort!

Ah, I've never used one so I wasn't aware, have only heard mixed reviews about them. Still, I'm sure most everybody here would advise you against spending money on hiring a nutritionist, they're going to tell you everything we are but for a price.

Try doing the calorie tracker thing if you aren't already. If there's any foods from your past experience that seem to not fill you up as much, try loading up on those whenever possible. Plus there's a ton of calorie dense foods out there that you can make or buy. Use lots of butters/oils. Do you drink coffee or tea? Add cream and sugar if that's what you fancy, and just drink a few extra every day.

There's lots of little things you can do to add up extra calories, a calorie counter can help you realize all of the little things you add to foods/drinks that boost your caloric intake.
