Yo does this look good for a 16 year old 6'0

[MInatoNamikazeR]

Hey guys, I am beginning to bulk. MY weight right now is 158/7 (up from 152 3 weeks ago). I was wondering if this is a good enough food intake, I never count dinner because it is impossible to put the exact proportions of what my mom makes into the app, but it is probably somewhere around 700 calories. . THank you.

Also add around 400 calories for extra snacks I cant put in there.

First, you are 16 so tracking your food is not advised. Second, there isn't a fruit or veggie listed there. So to answer your question, no, it doesn't look good.

MyFitnessPal has been shown to shorten the d*ck length of anyone less than 18 years old and cause horrible acne... and AIDS..

I suggest you stop.

then by all means, carry on with your garbage diet at too young of age. When you are older you will look back and wish you had taken my advice but what the heck do we know here.

Shoot Adam, you got put in your place. This cat has supreme knowledge at 16. We better bow down to the gain train.

"Garbage diet". I mean I snack on fruit and will have vegetables with dinner, but the calorie and macro intake is negligible, so I feel no reason to include them.

[Redfish225]

You’re 16 brah just eat wtf you want and lift heavy.

What is wrong with tracking calories at 16 as opposed to 18. I fail to understand.

Bottom-line, YOU SHOULD NOT TRACK THIS STUFF.

Enjoy being a kid for fuk's sake... what you are doing on the computer on a forum on a friday when you could be out having fun with your friends?

When you're 16, you are still in the process of growing organs, bone, connective tissues, etc.... so it's NOT possible to estimate your energy needs.

That's why you shouldn't track: you're at a point where your 'needs' constantly are in flux.

Not to mention the mental hassle you could otherwise direct toward, I dunno, doing ANYTHING else?

Do you just eat vegetables and eyeball your calorie/macro intake?

This. Game set match.

class dismissed

Nope, my intake is calculated. If it has calories, its tracked. You have plenty of time to worry about that once your body is done growing and maturing. Just enjoy your growing years and be a teenager.

So should I just wait till I am done growing?

It's hard to when you're constantly called a twig. I really just want to put some mass on the only reason I even, foolishly, posted this here.

Personally I track nothing right now...

I'm 33 years old, I tracked almost non-stop for over a decade... if I didn't learn how to estimate accurately enough in 10+ years of every-day tracking well enough to make progress without having to calculate everything, I'd say I failed pretty hard.

Now that being said, plenty of people track and that's fine...

For me, it just becomes too distracting and I don't need to do it... I'd gone weeks without tracking and then tracked for a day and my 'guesses' are basically on point within like 5% anyway...

As long as I'm in a surplus, that's all I care about... I know what contains protein, fat, etc...

Now, if I were trying to diet for a show? That's different.

uh... then eat more

eat what you'd already eat, and then eat an extra 1-2 bowls of cereal with whole milk... or... have an extra slice of pizza..

Or, drink chocolate milk with your meals...

Is it THAT hard to just eat delicious food?

I hear you man, trust me. We never said not to eat big, we just said don't concern yourself over tracking and trying to "bulk" or "cut" focus on eating well balanced meals MOST the time but don't be afraid to incorporate foods you eat into your daily meals. Do this and work your butt off at the gym and you will put on mass.

**** yo veggies, I'm trying to get big.

Don't be a jackass. Enjoy the red.

Yes.

Get on a good, proven, linear-progression novice lifting program...

Eat to fuel your training and to enjoy life, foods that you really enjoy, especially ones with lots of solid nutrition, but of course choose things for taste as well; you're a kid, afterall.

If you find yourself hungry, eat.

If you find yourself not gaining weight or getting stronger, eat a bit more... keep making progress.

But don't let it overrun your life... just treat it as what it is: training, growing, etc. Hang with friends and study hard... that's all there is to it.

When you get out of high school, or you're 18-19 and you've already made your 'newbie' gains, then you can consider trying to dissect things with tracking when it'll actually yield some potential benefit
