Ok... I'm finally getting serious. I quit my job [in high scool] and i'm gonna start lifting now.
I'm 170lbs, ~10-15% BF
Goal: 190-200 @ 6-8% BF
What would be a good amount of calories to aim for each day? What percent protein/carbs/fats?
What foods should I avoid? (Fruits i've heard..?)
Should I eat the same on nonworkout days as workout days?
What should my preworkout meal be? It should be an hour before i workout, right?
What would an example of a good postworkout meal be? And some good meals an hour or two after my workout?
What is a good last meal?
5-8 meals/day, every 2-3 hours?
The only relatively healthy food we have in my school is chicken nuggets, except on salad-bar day, do you think that will hinder my growth much?
Long post, yea.. I have a lot of questions, and probably a few more I forgot to ask.
When you workout what is the best for muscle growth, size--not strength, Slow or fast movements? I've heard both..
Anything else you think i should know would be great too
Thanks
