4 double quarters. I hope you have some chips with that and what you having for dessert then. Seriously Maccas burgers are tiny, smash that down in a couple minutes.
Mate your talking about 1 meal without knowing the whole diet. Why not eat steak. Well fuck what if I'm having steak for tea and eggs for lunch. Your putting some foods on a pedestal. So what I should never eat another food ever again because every time I should just have a steak instead.
Now we are on the same page
No reason to eat them than to satisfy an emotional need
That's all you're doing- you're eating them because you like them for temporary enjoyment.
I don't have an emotional connection to food- so I just eat what I need to eat.
And it fucking WORKS, to the point where I am losing fat, gaining muscle and getting stronger and even yourself suggested that I was taking steroids
Carbohydrates fill me up. They fill lots of people up. If the dude is still reading this- you now have lots of ideas. Experiment, you'll know in 4 weeks if what you're doing is working or not. The take away point from everyone are:
Eat calorie dense foods- ice cream, fattier cuts of meat, italian food (although I don't think it's sensible to eat a load of fat then spike your insulin- but lasagne is tasty as fuck) and so on
Experiment with carbohydrate timing. Try eating most of your carbs in the morning, noon or post training.
Cook in oils more suited to strength training. Lard, butter, olive oil. Ditch the processed oils like canola, vegetable oils and so on. They don't taste as good, turn into trans fats easily and are not the optimal fats
Experiment with meal timing. Try eating one big meal, 2 or 3 meals, many meals and even snacking during the day. Good snack foods? Ground jerky mixed 50/50 in lard is killer and doesn't need to be refrigerated.
