Journey to 6 pack + lean muscle from nothing Seems to me there ain't a lot of food there, have you worked out cals protein content? Get some before pics of yourself up then take pics every 4 weeks or so and see if you have made progress, also it's easier for others to see it on you than it is yourself, if that makes sense? Good luck I shall sub this
Journey to 6 pack + lean muscle from nothing Hey mate, for your size and weight that doesnt look like anywhere near enough cals/protein IMO especially if your wanting to put on some mass. Good job on starting the journal, post a before pic of yourself so we can all have a laugh erm i mean encourage you! lol
Journey to 6 pack + lean muscle from nothing And maybe fvck off the cardio for the moment as you'll want to make sure your in calorie surplus to build muscle, you can always add it later if you feel you need it. If your slim already you probably won't need to be dropping fat at the moment
Journey to 6 pack + lean muscle from nothing Yeah mate, as craigyboy says, bin the cardio for the moment, you want to save those precious few cals at the moment! What time do you get up? cant you eat any proper foods before 11am? A nice 4 egg omelete will help your macros along nicely.
Journey to 6 pack + lean muscle from nothing alright thanks for the support guys gimme 5 ill go get a pic of my crap body lol
Journey to 6 pack + lean muscle from nothing Go eat something while your at it! lol Have a look at the stickys, plenty of good diet plans there mate. It's hard trying to get enough food down ya at first, eat smaller portions but more often, after a while you get used to it. Maybe look at a mass gainer shake to help you on your way at first.
Journey to 6 pack + lean muscle from nothing depends on my shift, usually up between 6-7am. I'm a network technician so i dont do much physical work. Not sure about dropping the cardio. I mean im no expert but ive always thought that any surplus cals will turn to fat.
