It's a generational thing. Just ignore it, she means well but has no idea how the world works now.
She wants you to make more so she can leech off you.
You make 15$/hour, just move out into a studio apartment and say goodbye to your family.
Only show up on the holidays while dressed nice and shit, make them mad. It's hilarious.
I'm more interested in what food went so horribly against your macros. Also obviously what is your job, and where do you live that rent is so low? You might be able to cut down your food budget a bit, imo.

ah, didn't catch that.
Just tell her to fuck off, work your current job until you get a better one rofl.
Why is this thread even here.
>>24841000
it wasn't the macros. it was a bunch of whole grains, legumes, fibrous vegetables, and ground turkey.

Can completely relate to this
Im a little surprised, i thought this "work is happiness, work is life" doctrine was mostly prevalent in hispanic culture, but i guess that's observation bias on my part
My mother is exactly the same. She defines "success" as getting a good job and having a lot of money
This in spite of the fact that I'm miserable because ill never be able to take part or be good at the hobbies i love due to my height (5'6"), and the fact that im non-white
I havent graduated uni yet, but I'm a 4.0 gpa math major. Everyone always asks me what i plan to do with it; i never have an answer for them, since the whole reason i started to work toward it was just to prove to myself that i could do it
Even now i struggle to work up the willpower to continue school and go about my daily routine, ive started sleeping 12+ hrs a day, no idea what im going to do with my life after college
All the while my mother just repeats this "work so you have lots of money, then you'll be happy" mantra
I dont even want money
>>24841296
>This in spite of the fact that I'm miserable because ill never be able to take part or be good at the hobbies i love due to my height (5'6"), and the fact that im non-white
op here, also 5'6 [but white]
what hobby is that? basketball???
>>24840906
Listen OP, if I was in your position, would've flipped my shit and told her a gold digging whore wouldn't know the definition of success or good spending. But then again I hate my parents and fully intend to follow my dreams because money was never my dream and I'm not going to be used to take people to dinner to on vacations.
>>24841096
What's wrong with those things? Not accusing, genuinely want to know, I'm trying to get my diet together.
>>24841296
>All the while my mother just repeats this "work so you have lots of money, then you'll be happy" mantra
this doesn't make sense to me desu. work is what takes away what little happiness i have. if i worked more or harder just to get extra money i can't imagine how it would improve my life. maybe getting a gf would help but i never had one so i don't even know if it would help.
i guess if i had a really high paying job and stayed single forever i could just retire in my 30s but if i had a lot of money and free time i would probably blow it all on drugs, OD and die
>>24841711
whole grains have crap fiber that is bad for the gut
legumes are shit tier peasant protein
fibrous vegetables taste bad and have no calories
these are all plants that dont want to be eaten so they develop chemicals in them to protect against predators. goitrogens, protease inhibitors, phytoestrogens, phytates, lectins. the only plants i eat are fruit & underground veggies
as for ground turkey it's garbage tasting and the amino acid ratio is inferior to beef, pork, and chicken plus poultry fats are toxic
>>24841702
>Her notes going deeper in despair as the years go by.
Pretty sure they mean higher.
>>24841504
not basketball, though it's understandable that would be your first guess
It's actually more like "various hobbies" than just one:
>HEMA
stands for "historical european martial arts". Fighting with a Longsword, langes messer, polearms, daggers, etc
Being non-white isnt as huge of a barrier as being short as far as this goes, it's just that as a nonwhite hispanic it's a really "incongruous" interest, if you understand what i mean
In any case just about everyone that practices this and is good at it is very tall, 6' and above. The height difference makes it impossible for me to use many techniques/maneuvers against those opponents and vice versa. Example of avg good practitioner:
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=fsNmzqsYUmg
think these guys but even taller. Most tourneys take place in Norway/Denmark/Finland etc. where avg heights are near or above 6'
>boxing
My height doesnt make it IMPOSSIBLE to do this one; I can and do practice this one, or i should sa i used to, then quit
Due to height i cant realistically box above welterweight division even though im /fit/
So im stuck in welter, boxing other short guys that basically only do it because they got bullied in high school and want to learn to defend themselves
I quit when i ko'd some 5'7 and he got taken to the hospital. It isnt fun at this weight class
>swimming
Swimmers must be tall to compete, look at oly swimmers
That shit is retarded. I'm /fit/ and I eat whatever the hell I want. As long as you get your micronutrients and stay at a reasonable caloric intake, it shouldn't matter at all.
Then again, I'm one of those people for whom cutting is natural but bulking is a chore. How people aren't regularly struggling to get in over even 2k calories a day is beyond me.
>>24841899
meh, well at least you have an activity you enjoy, consider yourself lucky. i lift to stay in shape but i don't enjoy it at all, i just don't want to be a flabby weakling
>>24840906
>>sit at the table and politely say i can't eat any of this food because i'm trying to get healthy
Your first error, females take sentences like these personal very quickly.
Should have just told them that you aren't hungry or something different than what you said.
>>24841942
>Then again, I'm one of those people for whom cutting is natural but bulking is a chore. How people aren't regularly struggling to get in over even 2k calories a day is beyond me.
OP here, i'm the opposite. i gain weight easily if i didnt take DNP every day i wouldn't really be able to lose any fat

It's shitty your mom's a bitch but you were completely in the right.
>>24841983
I don't understand. Why do you constantly need to eat throughout the day? I had an egg cheese and sausage breakfast sandwich this morning. It's almost 5 pm, and I'm still not hungry. I even have been playing guitar all day and I worked out.. I still have absolutely no desire to eat anything right now.

i started out of college making $15/hr. lived in a big city though so i was poor as fuck. got tired of that real fast.
You can actually rent an apartment in the states and live relatively comfortably, minus some luxuries, on 15/hour?
must be fucking nice
>>24842083
i'm not actually happy but i don't know if i could be any happier though. but i'm certain that more hours and harder work isn't going to make me anything but miserable
>>24841953

>>24842105
You don't understand, she probably didn't get mad on purpose, but his mother took that sentence as an attack on her cooking skills or she even took it as an insult to her raising skills.
Telling the truth is never an error, but some people will not react positive to it all the time.
>>24842138
Fair enough. Either way, what she's suggesting would, as you say, make you less happy. It seems you got a pretty good setup right now.

You can get enough protein through cooking your food yourself and it will even be less expensive than protein shakes.
>>24840906
what did you graduate with senpai?
>>24842102
i wake up and take 2 scoops of protein powder (48g protein), drink a can of real sugar pepsi/dr pepper (150cal sucrose), and a low fat mozzarella cheese stick (8g protein 4g fat)
3 hours later i eat first lunch, a half lb of lean beef (50g protein) usually with some sort of starch (tortilla or bread) and a bit of cheese with OJ. i usually down 1 scoop of protein as well (24g protein)
after work i eat 2nd lunch, usually something quick like 25-40g protein with more OJ or i finish my 2nd can of real sugar soda (i drink 2 per day)
then i go to the gym, come home eat something else with protein and carbs
then before bed i eat some cheesy mashed taters with lean meat or protein powder.
some days i will make fried chicken homemade, 97% lean boneless/skinless dipped in eggs then coated in masa harina (corn flour) and deep fried in coconut oil.
i drink about a half gallon of orange juice a day

Fibrous vegs? But aren't they okay as a filler?
I dunno about turkey either, assuming it didn't have shit added to it in the store or when alive only thing I can think of is higher fat content, than chicken. Lipids are underestimated, sure people,who don't eat well eat too much, but a lot of healthy eaters seem to eat too little.
You fallow paleo, anti-inflammatory or something else? Either way good for you. Live long enough and you fall into longevity escape velocity. Then we can play there-can-be-only-one.

not really. gold standard whey is 10lbs for $90. that's 150 servings of 24g protein for $90, or 40g per $.
93% lean ground beef is $6-7 per lb at 100g of protein per lb, or at best over twice as much per g
>>24842296
mind the glicemic index
cut down on fried shit
corn isn't markedly better than wheat, it has it's own version of gluten-like protein, use nut flour etc. instead
>>24842379
could be worse i guess but i dont even like the taste of them.
the amino acid ratio of turkey meat is crap compared to beef, plus ground turkey tastes bad.
i don't follow "paleo" but it's pretty similar. i eat high sugar, moderate protein, low starch, low fat and my fats are almost entirely saturated.
>>24842513
>glycemic index
sugar has a lower GI than starch/glucose
>fried
i only fry in coconut oil
>corn vs wheat
meh, i dont eat enough grains for it to be a big issue. 1 or 2 servings a day, most people eat many times that. most of my carbs are sugar
>>24842405

>>24842491
You must be living in a expensive area.
Gold Standard 100% Whey 907g 30.35EUR
per 100g 78.4g protein
907g contain 711g protein.
= 23.4g protein per EUR
Chicken breast 350g 1.29EUR
per 100g 23g protein
350g contain 80.5g
= 29.9g protein per EUR

look up the insulin spikes per food item. Everything higher than yam a shit.

Eh, normies like living in the "life is beautiful" illusion. They don't like to hear bad things, or that someone else has given up.
You're bad for telling your mom you're gonna live alone -- your success is their success. Straight up telling them you aint doing the normie milestone goals is like punching them in the face 2bh f@m.

How will you feed a family with a low income job?
To be fair, you're just starting and you'll move up the ladder if you want to. Obviously if health insurance isn't something you want, then you're free to decline and in this your mother is wrong.
Your mother just doesn't understand the fact that work is basically slave labor right now (has she worked or was she a stay-at-home mom?) and free time is much more valuable now than it was 20 years ago.

>>24844751
>How will you feed a family with a low income job?
my parents combined make over $100k a year i shouldn't have to feed them
as for my brothers, i don't like them. if they're hungry my parents should feed them for creating them
>To be fair, you're just starting and you'll move up the ladder if you want to
meh i my company is kind of small, i'm already the senior employee (out of like 6 people excluding the 2 bosses) so there's nowhere to move up to. i just do the work my boss doesn't want to do
>Your mother just doesn't understand the fact that work is basically slave labor right now (has she worked or was she a stay-at-home mom?) and free time is much more valuable now than it was 20 years ago.
she's a teacher for 5 year olds. she's a woman so maybe she likes being around kids, i don't know
>>24844874
i am not happy, but i don't know how i could become happy. and i don't know what is 'better'. sure i might get paid more somewhere else but i'll have to maybe work more hours or have to wake up really early or have a long commute or have a more stressful job. right now my job is very low stress and laid back, the pay is just mediocre.
>>24844926
>i shouldn't have to feed them
I mean YOUR family. Your wife and children. You're not some kind of degenerate that wants the white race dying, or are you?
>i don't know how i could become happy
It's because your indoor life is completely unnatural. The life of the big city, crowded and without any meaningful interaction with nature, is a very young occurrence. To be happy, do what humans have done happily for thousands of years. Make fire, cook meat on a self-built grill, go fishing and take walks through nature. You'll be surprised.
>>24845076
>I mean YOUR family. Your wife and children. You're not some kind of degenerate that wants the white race dying, or are you?
i honestly can't imagine me ever living that life. i am a manlet, plus i would have to move because where i live whites are already a minority and the only girls that ever paid me any attention were mestizas.
not to mention it's a university town so all these girls are trying to focus on muh career and not even thinking about having a kid until their late 20's at the earliest

the only thing my mom ever talked with me about girls was once when i was waiting for her to pick me up from community college (i was a high school student taking free courses there) was why i didn't talk to some gril that was sitting next to me because
>she is cute
yeah except she's older than me, fatter than me, and was probably the same height as me
>>24844858
this, i live in one of the most expensive areas of the country and 15$ an hour at 40 hours a week is pretty damn comfortable, not rich or even middle class for a family by any means but if you're single then you're doing better than the majority of the country

your mom kinda sounds like a cunt, i'd tell her to shut up. you didn't do anything but go to college and get a job like you're supposed to, at least you made it that far
>>24841096
Unless she fried that shit in lard or bacon fat that stuff is all perfectly healthy. That being said your mom took it way to personally and crossed a line for bitching at you, but health insurance is important. That's like the only benefit you need, retirement plans are just a bonus.
>>24845981

You guys deep south too? I'm from Texas and people seem to find it inconceivable that i'm not enthusiastic about working a shit job for minimum wage. "I heard you can get $10 an hour at wal-mart, and that's damn good money" is a phrase I hear all too often around here. It's all minimum wage unless you drive a truck or have a degree.
Why the fuck would I want to work a shit job for shit wages and then come home to my shit life?
If i'm going to work I need to make enough to at least move out on my own.
"But you could save!" only works when i'm making the bare minimum of what it would cost to live on my own anyway. I can't save up 2 grand and move out with a monthly income of $800. I'll be broke in a few months.
>>24843202
How and where senpai? I've had a friend on steam who did that shit, and he would spend his shifts shitposting and playing video games. Sounds like the fucking dream since minimum wage is all I can find at the moment and that's not enough to live on.

OP, I want to jump to your defense but I feel like you're telling the story from your perspective and you may have skewed it slightly. Not even purposefully, just a natural side effect of being a person.
Your mom just wants you to be successful, even if that her view of success isn't the same as yours(or mine if we're getting personal). Try telling her what REALLY bothers you about her saying those things. You clearly have some ambition in life, you'd like to focus on your health and fitness for the time being.
It's not like you've resigned to the next 60 years of being a brain dead fool, you're just going at your own pace.

Eat your moms food when you visit. Tell her you are working on bettering yourself. Don't tell your mother you are ok with dying young. Basic stuff man. DNP is for legit morons so it all makes sense though.

why? my dad randomly texted me one day saying i need to go see a doctor. i responded 'why?'
i haven't been sick in 5 years. i went a year ago because i sliced my finger accidentally when i was chopping meat and i ended up paying $100 for them to wipe the dried blood off and give me some fancy bandaids and cheap antibiotic cream

My brother did the exact same thing, it was quite funny seeing him make Protein shakes, but at least he makes his own food.

Dude you have a shitload of potential, I believe in you anon, you could be racking in those bucks so fucking easy, you could afford to get a qt personal trainer since you already like the gym... Honestly you have the credentials for a nice salary man
I just wanted to chime in and say this is one of the most mature and civil threads I've ever read on /r9k/. I wish this board was used for intelligent discussion instead of the same shitposting every single day.

what about "less stressful"?
where else can i work 5hrs a day and take hour and a half lunch breaks?
>Get a better job?
like what? what the fuck am i going to get paid to do that is actually enjoyable?
>Get higher pay, and work less hours?
what company will pay me more money and let me work 5hr days? also factor in cost of living, i pay $350/mo rent
>Dude tailor your resume to the specific job... let me tell you a little secret that will land you tons of interviews.
>>FUCK LIE ON YOUR RESUME IDIOT.
what job should i lie about then? what happens when they ask me to do something and i fuck up and get fired? at least at my current job i already mastered every skill
>IF YOU LIE WITH A BUSNIESS/ECONOMICS DEGREE YOU WILL LAND AN AWESOME FUCKING JOB YOU HAVE WORK EXPERIENCE ALREADY!!!!!!!!!!!!
where doing what?
>Dude you have a shitload of potential, I believe in you anon, you could be racking in those bucks so fucking easy, you could afford to get a qt personal trainer since you already like the gym... Honestly you have the credentials for a nice salary man
i dont need or want a personal trainer, i know what i need to do at the gym. and you still haven't told me what to lie about. i couldnt have lied about coding at my current job, if i didn't know how to code i would have been fired the first week. not sure what jobs you're referring to desu. all of my friends with jobs have to wear fancy clothes and wake up early for work. some have to get drug tested, i couldn't manage that either
>>24853743

You have to actually apply to answer this question, it directly correlates with your job offers, where you apply, when the applications open, where you live.
tl;dr go try first, quit your bitching if you ever want to be perceived as a man.
>what job should i lie about then? what happens when they ask me to do something and i fuck up and get fired? at least at my current job i already mastered every skill
YOU LIE by adding keywords from the job listing directly onto your resume, nothing too specific that requires a skill that will get you fired, just general shit that you might not have done, but you're capable of, this is specific to the job title, for example have you're a farmer, who lies about being able to grow a specific plant, that you can google the growth process to.
It's easier to get motivated for those jobs when you are getting a nice paycheck, and you can move out of your roomates place, and afford all your own shit, WITH healthcare, and your parents can talk shit about you, bring girls back to your place ( wah no gf ) fuck it get an escort you have money now, it's just better dude
I'm black with dreadlocks, and it's hard as fuck in the job market for people like me, you probably have it way easier than me in that regard man, just get that shit out of the way once, and it increases your entire quality of life.

i did this, got nothing back, so I gave up. i feel comfortable now
>lie about basic skills that are easy to aquire
yeah sure, i already did that. but something that easy isn't going to be worth much. i could get another ENTRY LEVEL POSITION maybe, that's it. it will be moving horizontally, not up
>move out
if i don't want to see my roomates i will stay in my room. i've had one roomate for 5 months and we've said "sup" like 3x that's the extent of our interaction
>afford all your own shit
like? i have a pc, car, and tv. what else do i need?
>health insurance
useless for me desu. might as well get alien invasion insurance. i wouldn't take advantage of it.
>bring girls back
KEK no, i don't think i'm cut out for having a gf
>escort
did that once, I prefer fapping
>increases your entire quality of life.
i don't see how it would. if a million dollars fell into my lap i wouldnt know what to do with it. I would probably just OD on heroin or something. the only gf i could get would be a golddigger and the only change i would make is i would just stop cooking and get food delivered 3x a day

I've never understood why anyone would wish to perpetuate a shitty stereotype, also why would you want that shit for hair? Buzz that shit homie, you'll be 100 times more hirable (and you're already a + for diversity quotas) and you'll stop looking like dumbass hippie stoner rasta nigger. Shit, you'd be more appealing if you had corn rows.
>>24847399

I'm lucky my parents are sort of hippy inclined. I said I plan on retiring as early as possible and they thought it was a good idea. I wasted 4 years and 20k in debt on a bs in psychology though. I'm back in school for nursing and should be able to pull more than 30k/yr after graduation. 70k is average, of course travel nursing and working extra days will pay much more. My first year I'll get debt free, then travel as soon as I can. Grit my teeth a few years working 4 and 5 day weeks, then retire, maybe working prn or per diem a few times a month just to keep license/certs and pad out market corrections.
Mr money mustache, jcollinsh, and early retirement extreme have been my inspiration. Who knew you could get market average just by buying everything in the market? It makes sense but I didn't realize it was so simple to do with just a couple mutual funds.
The main question is mooch off parents land or buy my own at the cost of another year or two working. Either way I want to play farmer and do all that fun homestead shit.

Unless you plan on working for a hippie commune, a weed dispensery, as an artist or a professional sports player, dreadlocks are just not a professional hair style.

>>24854087

You got nothing back, because your resume design, and content sucked, im not going to sugar coat it.
>ENTRY LEVEL POSITION maybe, that's it. it will be moving horizontally, not up
knowledge of coding with a business is worth more than $15 an hour, someone lied to you, or you are are just deluding yourself

i don't see how it would.
Read the story of the fox and the grapes, you have that exact same problem.
It's called coginitive dissonance, it's written all over the original post of this thread.

>>24854115
>HE HAS DREADLOCKS I DONT WANT TO HIRE HIM
> HE'S BLACK I DONT WANT TO HIRE HIM
It doesn't change anything, if you're black they like you, or they don't. Everyone tells me I look better with dreadlocks, and with all the black guys wearing the same buzzcut hairstyle, it sets me apart. It seems counter-intuitive, but it's true. Cutting my hair will do absolutely nothing, and black+dreadlocks = the illusion of "diversity". for certain companies, while not having dreadlocks i'm just another black guy.
Why would I deny my culture, and conform to work with people, who don't actually want to be around as I am in reality? It's not tattoos, it's literally a hairstyle that people from my culture wear.
pic related, if you wouldn't hire him like that, cutting his hair isn't going to do anything, you would just find a white person, or someone who fit the "image"
>>24854684
how the fuck is it worth over $15? i think you never even tried to learn in. in fact, you could learn 95% of css and html in 2 weeks. yes, a skill you could *master* for free in under a month. how is that worth so much money? i learned it in high school.
>your own place? and insurance?
i think we have different definitions of need. i don't have either of those and if i did magically get them tomorrow it wouldnt improve my life in the slightest.
>you are, if you get a place, you already go to the gym, and have a decent job
no, i'm not, mentally. i never had a problem attracting decent girls physically. it's just i scared them all away with my schizoid/aspie personality
>Read the story of the fox and the grapes, you have that exact same problem.
>It's called coginitive dissonance, it's written all over the original post of this thread.
not really. i have grapes. in fact, i have so many grapes they're just collecting in my fridge at a rate that exceeds my desire to consume them.
sure, there are some fat foxes that eat extra grapes, that's their right. and there are some foxes with 10 refrigerators full of grapes, and some with 100. personally if i had that many grapes they would just sit there and rot because i have no use for them. i have enough grapes for myself, i am responsible for nobody else. sure there are some female foxes that i could fuck in exchange for grapes but i don't think that's something i even want out of life
I'm in your position too OP.
Only my mom keeps saying I should go back to the UK to study, work and go live with relatives over there for whatever reason.
Pretty obvious she wants to kick me out
I pay rent and help out anyway I can when I'm not at work and I'm trying to get a better lifestyle for myself.
I never want to eat at the dinner table anymore.

Fibre makes you shit good. Shitting good reduces your risk for colon cancer and shitty GI problems. Nobody should eat that many oranges in a day which is why you shouldn't drink that much fuckin juice. Vary your fruits too, fruit is lovely and there are so many kinds.
>>24855057
not all fiber is the same. some is bad for the gut. carrot fiber is best, orange fiber has been known to cause gut irritation in some people, even if it's just pulp
that's not "too much" OJ. i need carbs for energy, i eat other fruits too and even some potatoes. fact is most people also eat >50% calories from carbs, they just fill up on wheat, corn, and rice instead of fruit. i'm not getting too many calories given that i'm losing fat

>>24840906
Nah brah don't listen to the haters you focus on becoming a sikkunt and the rest will automatically follow.
there are three things in life: health, love and money. Once you are /fit/, it will only seem natural to you to want to get yhe other areas of your life in check as well. Least that is how it went for me.
Still, don't be such an autist. Just eat a bit less just so your mum doesn't get all bitter.
>>24855176
>there are three things in life: health, love and money
money is useless if you have everything you want. and love can be reserved for objects or a dog or something. i don't think i'm cut out to get a girl i would want to spend my life with, if one even exists. i've already accepted that
OP, it sounds like you're really doing good for yourself, you're employed, independent and actively bettering yourself and that's great. If I were your mom I would be very proud of you.
However, I have some tips for not avoiding run-ins like this in the future.
For starters, you should have eaten the meal. I know that it sounds like fat logic, but it really is one meal. In future you need to inform people ahead of time if you have dietary requirements, especially ones that aren't as expected.
Also, when it comes to questioning from parents it's better to act like you're in a job interview. Embellish the positive things in your life, and focus on the good work you're doing. Act like a lawyer too. Have a few pre prepared lines and stick to them. Things like "I'm working on it" will get you far. Talk about extra duties you're doing at work to put on your resume, working on your resume, some of the jobs you've applied for and are hoping to hear back from, how you're feeling pretty good and things keep getting better. Don't talk about negatives, like not hearing back from applications or not wanting health insurance or a family. Just keep redirecting the conversation to the positives and all the productive shit you're doing, especially working toward a fancier job since it seems important to your parents.
Good luck in the future with your parents, you're doing better than a lot of people, you're just not very good at expressing this to your mother.
>>24855118
Are you one of those people who actually has that sensitivity? There are better ways than orange juice to fulfill your caloric needs. Your teeth must be sensitive at this point too.
>>24855547
it's the most nutritious source of carbs i have, along with potatoes which are inferior because they lack fructose.
my teeth are fine, tooth decay is a result of nutritional deficiencies. i get plenty of k2, retinol, d3, and magnesium

Fuck that shit; money matters. Period. You know what I'm gonna do next month? Fly to Africa and climb the Kilimanjaro, because I can. I am not saying that you should be doing this, but realize that money is less about material things and more about the experiences it can get you.
And about the girls... Whatever floats your boat. May as well use money to fuck some escorts. But you sound less as if you didn't want a girl and more is if you had just given up... And that's a shame. Work on yourself. Get some game. Fuck bitches and have fun. And somewhere along the way, you might find someone you truly like.
Either way, it's your life and you get to choose what you make out of it. You're on the right path, man.
