Might sound stupid but what is macros?

 

[EZ_E]

looks a little light on calories....what does the breakdown look like? have you calculated your macros? grab some n2slin and pop a cap half hour before those carbs and you'll def notice a difference

+1, this not enough food for an adult male and where's your protein?????? Way too little protein...

You're not eating anough so your body is in starvation (read: panic) mode....or you're catabolic, or both...

macros is the breakdown of the amount of grams of protein, carbs and fats youre taking in...no disrepect but if you do not know this you're a long ways from being ready for steroids

bottom line, diet is king when it comes to achieving your goals

You need at least 6-7 smaller servings per day with some protein in each., You can do this by eating clean whole foods,not processed.
Protein should come a variety of things.Seafood is one of the best sources of Protein because it's usually low in fat. Fish such as salmon is a little higher in fat but it is the heart-healthy kind: omega-3 fatty acids.

White-Meat Poultry
Stick to the white meat of poultry for excellent, lean Protein. Dark meat is higher in fat. The skin is loaded with saturated fat, so remove skin before cooking.

Milk, Cheese, and Yogurt
Not only are dairy foods -- like milk, cheese, and yogurt -- excellent sources of Protein but they also contain valuable calcium. Choose skim or low fat dairy to keep bones and teeth strong, prevent osteoporosis, and enhance weight loss.

Eggs
Eggs are one of the least expensive forms of Protein. The American Heart Association says normal healthy adults can safely enjoy an egg a day.

Beans
One-half cup of beans contains as much Protein as three ounces of broiled steak. Plus, these nutritious nuggets are loaded with fiber to keep you feeling full for hours.

Pork Tenderloin
This great and versatile white meat is 31% leaner than 20 years ago.

Soy
Twenty five grams of soy Protein daily can help lower cholesterol and reduce the risk of heart disease. Combine soy Protein foods like tofu with a healthy low fat diet.

Lean Beef
Lean beef has only one more gram of saturated fat than a skinless chicken breast. Lean beef is also an excellent source of zinc, iron, and vitamin b12.

Protein on the Go
Grab a meal replacement drink, cereal bar, or energy bar. Check the label to be sure the product contains at least six grams of Protein, and is low in sugar and fat.
Needtobuildmuscle has a wide variety of supplements that is an excellent source of nutrition.

Now that's a grocery list ^^^^ , radar just did everything but cook the food for you bro

 

[dew925]

Thanks radar ! I've been eating all of the above , just looks like I need to eat more. Been doing the 5 to 6 meals a day but real small portions. I need to calculate my caloric intake for my body weight an adjust accordingly

you aren't in catabolic mode cause you are overweight. so i wouldn't worry about this right now. just focus on losing weight.. up your cardio and eat cleaner and more fruits/veggies.

if anything you should put yourself in a catabolic mode right now until you get your weight down then focus on bulking back up cleanly.
