So I've recently turned 18 but don't have a job yet. As such, I have basically 0 control over what comes into my home in terms of food, as I don't buy the food. I have another problem, however: I am skinnyfat. I don't want to be skinny fat.
Since I can only control the portions of my diet and not necessarily the nutrients themselves (although I have been asking for more vegetables in general and am cutting back hard on junk food) should I just eat extremely little and run a bunch? I can't afford the gym (again, no job) and I can't do pushups, so I was wondering if I should just skip dinner and lunch entirely in favour of a slightly larger breakfast and nothing but cardio for an hour in order to burn fat (I mean, I won't be getting much protein so bodyweight training doesn't make sense, also still can't do fuckall in terms of bodyweight training since I'm too weak to do a pushup).
But that's my story. What should I do, exactly? Aside from get a job, of course. I'm trying. Nobody will hire me for the hours I'm available, but I'm trying.

Read the sticky you lazy piece of shit
>>37924607
Get a job without "hours". Paper route for example.
>>37924607
Unless your parents literally only buy popcorn and candy then simply eat less/more of the food depending on if you're bulking or cutting.
Protein is important and all macros are really but as long as you're trying your best you'll make some gains.
Just do your absolute best to get as much protein as possible, if you don't get 0.8g/lb of LBM then that's ok, just try your best to do so.

A true connoisseur.
So where does LA Fitness fall on the spectrum of gyms?
Is it closer to Gold's, or is it closer to Planet Fitness?
>>37924519
Planet fitness.
If you like cocky employees LA Fitness is where it's at.

I always saw it as kind of a chick place like Bally's or Curves, but not as extreme.
Honestly the differences between the national chains come down more to individual locations and personal experience. If it has a squat rack and free weights then who cares.
Just use Snap Fitness if we're talking big box gyms. They never bug me there, and their equipment isn't bad.
why do you lift when
>>37924285
Money doesnt make me lean, strong, explosive, and mobile.
And i already have a relatively lucrative position, so wealth isnt a huge concern.
>>37924285
Cause I'm nigger and other niggers might try to take my money
because money is useless when you're dead or you can't move. when i was bleeding out on the pavement my money didnt save me, my lower back muscles that prevented the knife from hitting my diaphragm did
Am I ready to bulk yet /fit/? A little back story, I started at 300lb's of pure fat guy. Cut down to 200, stopped, gained 20 back, and most recently lost another 35 (the picture attached is from 220-185) Now I fit into size 32 pants and medium shirts, but still feel like I look fat. I'm not sure if it's loose skin or lack of muscle, so I thought I'd ask you guys.
Thanks for the input.
Also here's some side shots.
this is ~3 months of progress.
got my lifts up to:
225 squat
135 bench
245 deadlift
110 OHP
>>37924278
you should cut you disgusting fat freak.
>>37924308
I am cutting, I'm not sure if I need to cut more that's all. Thanks for clearing that out.
Hey /fit, here's the deal

>>37924214
>Spinal fusion
Jesus dude. Did your vertebrae explode or what?
Jumped out a window due to extrenuous circumstances. Compression injury and some sort of messed up discs.
Is it possible to be fat AND strong at the same time?
yea, its called powerlifting

>>37924124
That's the easiest way to get strong.

Why haven't you dyed your hair brown, and started wearing blue eye lenses /fit/?
It it literally the easiest way to get better looking in 2 seconds.
>tfw green eyes
Benedict cumberdick is literally the greatest proof of this. The guys face looks like what a fish that had transitioned to a man would look like.
Even though he is ugly, he still has a huge following of women who adors his appearance, because of his eyes and hair.
>>37923845
because i have brown hair + blue eyes naturally

I assume you are a fat femanon? If so, then good news, all you have to do is stop being fat.
If you're a literal fag, then, I dunno, isn't there an app for that or something?

How do I boost test level?
>inb4 roids
>inb4 lift
>inb4 cardio
Do the last two already, won't do the first.
>>37923572
Cardio definitely doesnt boost test, in fact it lowers it by boosting cortisol levels.
Roid or fuck off. Those are your options.
