Hey everyone!
Please share your biggest tips, "aha" and "duh" moments. (Because chances are, I don't know them!)
When it comes to nutrition its pretty simple man. Forget all these fads or anything that has ANY extremes within it (unless its more convenient towards you)
What are you goals?
Gain muscle? EAT in a calorie surplus
Lose fat? EAT in a calorie deficit
I suggest you hop onto this site AlanAragon.com - Fitness Based on Science & Experience and learn the truth behind nutrition, and how simple it really is. It all comes down to numbers, not timing and not if you've had 10g of carbs. Forget keto and all that crap.
Figure out your daily requirements of calories, d
A rough start would be your BW in pounds x 14 (that would be your maintanence calories
From there,
1.3g/lb of bw PROTEIN

Problem is, overeating (mainly due to avoidance of working on a uni thesis) means my muscle definition has gone way done and body fat has crept up.
You should start tracking your calories. The problem with NOT tracking is you don't really know your limits and often use satiety as a guide, which is obviously leading to your overeating.
