who here only /500 calories/ today?
>>29538965
500 calories some days. I'm being pretty random about it. Average probably around 1000.
>>29538965
Probably ate about 4000 calories
>tfw can't break 125 lbs
Forever a hungry skele
>>29539178
"probably"
As someone who went from 112>132 > back to 115 you "probably" didn't, and you also "probably" should count calories and work out and pay attention to your macros.
Hopefully we both make it anon
>>29539240
What are macros?
Today I ate:
2 pieces of toast with peanut butter
1 bowl of oats
1 can of tuna fish
1 banana
2 7/11 smokies
2 steaks
potatoes
veggies
2 pieces of cake
some chocolate
>>29539240
How are you 112 lbs as a man? What is your height?
>>29538965
I didn't eat for the past 4 days getting drunk, don't ever do this, by the 4th day I couldn't sleep my legs/feet were cramping up so bad. Hangover was so bad I would drink a glass of water and immediately puke it back up in the same glass. That went on for about 8 hours.
>>29539366
OP here, not 4 days but I've been at that level before. Definitely sucks.
>>29539298
I'm 5'11-6'0, it's pretty bad but when you have shit happen and you cant even get out of bed to make a bowl of cereal/ are addicted to opiates this is what happens.
>>29539278
Macros are carbs/fat/protein. I really doubt you hit 4k with that because you didn't include any kind of measurement with your foods but you're definitely doing well enough. Just be diligent. Check out the app "fitness pal" its really awesome for ball parking calories because it has a database with nutrition info for most foods (restraunts included/ you can scan barcodes for other foods). It'll definitely help you really see where you're at.
>>29539385
Thanks anon! That's very helpful. I'm not that healthy of an eater. I basically just eat whatever I feel like eating.
>>29539278
It depends on the steaks but this doesn't sound like 4,000 calories to me.
>>29539278
a lot of those things are very inaccurately measured
one can of tuna is ~200 calories
a bowl of oats (?) is ~150 calories (one serving)
a banana is ~100 calories
a 7/11 smokie (never heard of this so I'm going off myfitnesspal) is ~400 calories, so 800 calories total
two servings of steak is ~700 calories
veggies who cares, potatoes you probably ate ~100 calories
So not counting the toast/peanut butter and the chocolate cake, you're looking at about 2,000 calories right there, give or take a few hundred
You did not eat 4,000 calories, I suggest you start counting them
Also, macros are proteins, carbs, and fats
>>29539428
No prob anon, I'm just glad that I was able to share some helpful info with you. Most important thing is to not get off your diet / gym routines.
Prep meals for the week on one day if you're a busy person/etc.
>>29539385
Ayy mang I'm an opi head and also a skeleton (120lbs , 5'10") fortunately never been through withdrawal though
Wish us both proper gains for once
>hungry skeles
>>29539502
I'm in the kitchen rn and I'm not eating I wouldn't call me hungry. I'm just in that depression mode dgaf about eating.
>>29539457
Well shit. It seemed like a good amount of food. I feel like there's not enough time in the day to eat more than that. I guess I just have to maximize my meals so I'm getting the highest macros/bite or something.
>>29539522
Being a hungry skeleton and having to lift weights is easier than being a fatso and having to lift weights.
>>29539531
I think a slightly chubby guy is most attractive, but I've been a skelly since birth and I see myself remaining this way until the grave.
Just ate breakfast.
2 Slices of seeded toast with butter
2 scrambled eggs
4 slices of back bacon
Ketchup
Diet pepsi
I don't really count calories, I just wait until I'm hungry. 6'2'' 225 lbs.
>>29539547
Slightly chubby works for gay guys I've seen, but I'm probably pushing "slightly" and girls need a skinny guy.
>>29539554
>breakfast
>lbs
>it's nighttime in the states
wtf r u
>>29539531
Fatties probably have that brute strength that comes from being a big guy. Skinny guys just look like weak faggots at the gym.
>>29539528
Well you're eating pretty well (aside from the smokies and the cake), so it's alright if your calories are on the low side
Generally, fruits and vegetables are lower in calories and fill you up because they're full of insoluble fibers
What's your goal? If you're looking to put on weight, pastas/breads/grains are very calorie dense, but it's pretty much only carbs. If you're looking to build muscle, you should be eating more dairy and healthy fats, so things like more tuna, chicken, even some red meat is pretty good
red meat has a lot more fat than something like chicken or tuna, which isn't a bad thing, because your body needs fat to transport vitamins throughout your body and keep you insulated and all that shit
Like a couple of us have said, you're doing well with the foods you're eating. Most of it is very healthy and you're on the right track, but your diet should depend on what you're trying to achieve weight-wise
>>29539570
This. 100000x this. This is why I don't want to get back in the gym. I had a sweet set up for private work outs and lost it.
Considering joining a 24 hour fitness just to go there around 2-3am when no one else is there so I can workout and not feel like such a faggot.
In the last 24 hours

i wish i was hungry and could keep food down. im not even trying to diet or count calories.
>>29538965
500 calories = 0.5 kcal
>>29539065
1000 calories = 1kcal
>>29539178
4000 calories = 4kcal
You know you need somewhere between 2000 and 3000 kcal a day right?
>>29539531
When I started lifting I was a bigger guy, and the nice thing about being fat when you start lifting is you've already got all the energy you need to build muscle packed into your body
Also, being fat makes it so you have more muscle, you ever seen the calves of an extremely overweight person? Takes a lot to lug an extra 30-40 pounds around
>>29539598
>You know you need somewhere between 2000 and 3000 kcal a day right?
OP here. I've made it this far, so idk if that's true. I'm also a skellington.
>>29539589
>>29539528
Just to expand on what this anon said, red meat is essential as you won't find as much quality iron in chicken or other meats.
Im no nutritionist but from what I understand it's best to rotate the meats you eat because of this.
>>29539566
It's 09:27 in the UK.
>>29539598
>You know you need somewhere between 2000 and 3000 kcal a day right?
what the fuck are you on about idiot
>>29539622
O. Don't you guys use stones or some shit?
>>29539598
I also went to chemistry class, except I actually payed attention. You've revealed your stupidity to the entire thread.
>>29539613
OP, he's just being really pedantic. Any time people are referring to the calories in food, they're referring to kcal. There's a difference between "calories" and "Calories", and it's just that Calories with a capital C means 1,000 calories with a lowercase c. Don't worry about him
>>29539613
Your metabolism must be so fucked. 500 calc is literally auschwitz mode.
>>29539674
>he's just being really pedantic
he's probably a teenager who just finished junior chem class and thinks he's smart
>>29539685
Sometimes I eat more. I'm not very active either. But yeah I'm damn skinny. Idk I posted in another thread about how I have really unhealthy relationships with everything. I think most people would freak out if I told them how little I eat, for example, and I know it's not healthy but again I've been doing it for so long that here I am.
I think I'm going to make some pasta right now. It's 1:30 and I feel a bit woozy from drinking champagne on such an empty stomach...
>>29538965
I have to eat less than 500. I feel sick if I eat anything more than 1 fruit or some yogurt.
>>29538965
>tfw literally didn't eat today
i just want to be a qt femboi
>>29539598
In the US calories of food refers to kcals.
>>29539651
Yeah I'd be 16st 4lbs. I usually go by lbs or kilos, its just easier to understand. We use stones to measure our fat asses and nothing else, never really made sense to me.

Have fun causing metabolic damage to yourself and gaining back more weight than you lose as soon as you start eating again. The only way to maintain the weight lose you achieve from this type of crash diet is to be borderline anorexic which will inevitably result in health issues or death.
People who do this have no idea about biology and how your metabolic system works.

How come?
Oregano wasn't original enough

Yes welcome to my world
>>29538965
Trying to do at least 1000 a day, 60g of protein. Not eating has been so fucking easy though this summer it's great
>>29538965
>not eating 6000+ Calories a day
>not weighting 45 kilograms and be 180 cm tall
>amerifags have literaly the worst metaboilsm ever
>>29539781
Not sure. It makes my stomach feel like it's burning with acid or something. If I eat a sandwich I will feel it for an entire day. Might have something to do with living in my bed for five years with no physical activity, perhaps my metabolism is fucked.
>>29539961
Damn you should probably do what that other anon said and tell a doctor.
>>29539657
cal is not the same as Cal.
>>29538965
kek
I'm eating 10,000 calories a day training for a strongman competition.
It's legitimately hard to eat this much, I think I'll drop it to 7,000.
Starving myself numbs me enough to get though the day, and alcohol is getting too expensive so I guess I'll just be a skeleton
>>29539636
If you're either a turbo manlet, female or underaged and undoubtedly completely inactive if you need less than 2000 kcal a day.
>tfw eat only 500 calories a day

WHY WAS I CURSED WITH BAD GENETICS
