Trozzle,

If you head over to IIFYM.COM it has a TDEE calculator that makes it easy to work out cals.

Yours would be around 200P 370C 90F at a guess on training days.

But for what goal? Maintenance? Gaining?

That'll be maintenance, but that's why you head over and punch in your details!

Usually lean meats are around:

100g = 30gP

Cup of rice ~50g C

350g potato ~ 50gC

That's the basis I use anyway.

I don't count condiments usually

I'm only just realising how little carbohydrates are in things like steamed veggies lol...no wonder I'm at such a shortage even though I'm eating plenty :whistling: f**k this nutrition shit

Eat some pasta you skinny bastard.

Yeah it's easy as to hit protein, carbs are killer.

really only peas, corn and carrots in the normal vege types. Depends how many of course.

Takes a LOT!

Cereal is easy to eat. Takes a lot to get the grams up still though. Find suitable large bowl, keep filling until target carbs met.

lol fark alright easy on! :P

Yeah cereals are good, it's just annoying to see how loaded with sugar even the apparently "healthy" ones are. Got myself a shitload of muesli though, plenty of fruit all through it n shit. Gonna snack the hell out of that at work.

Eat a shit tonne of bread/bagels, they have few carbs in them...

This as well.

Troy, if you want a good all rounder...try toasted tuna sandwiches/melts. Carbs + protein galore.

Also, that fruit muesli will probably have a decent amount of sugar in it

haha yeah it does, though less than the stupid sultana bran I'd usually eat if I had cereals. I don't eat fruit through the rest of the day like I see some people doing excessively, so no sugar intake there for me. Nor do I have sugar in my coffee(s).

woah, you guys are getting too far into this 'in my personal opinion', or more so, over complicating it.

I just put food into 3 groups.

Good food, okay food, bad food.

Good food - fruit(eat it all day), steak, chicken, veggies, eggs etc

Okay food - bread, rice pasta, weetbix, yoghurt etc

Bad food - ice-cream, pizza, maccas, chips etc etc

So eat as much good food as you want when you want. Eat the okay food when you want, just depends on goals and most importantly body type.

Bad foods, eat at own risk. With my body type i eat this shit everyday, but i know i can, so i don't care.

None of us are competing bodybuilders, no need to overcomplicate things.

Remember this is my opinion ;)

IMO I think that's what complicates it.

A carb is a carb. Be it grains or sugar. Obviously eating sugar all the time won't be the best way but if you eat 1000 cals from your good food category or 1000 cals from your bad food category it's still 1000 cals.

Fruit is just a ball of sugar.

Hit your macro targets and it won't matter where they come from, unless you're trying to compete.

Apart from the fact I'm obviously not hitting my carb macro target and way overshooting my protein target, this is exactly what I'm getting at - you guys have overcomplicated something that's obviously working for me anyway :P

It's not complicated, it's the basics.

that little carbs you must nearly have bunny ears by now haha.

Imagine if youd hit them earlier, you could be leaner, bigger, stronger quicker.

saved money

Macros are easy, knowing them allows you to eat anything you want really.

I hadnt been to the gym in 3 days and had KFC and maccas. But I'm still in a deficit leading up to my holidays

You've been following IIFYM a little too literally I think...Thanks for the advice, but I'll stick with what I have been doing and am now doing, even if I AM doing it wrong.

I don't follow iifym, just used it's calculators.

I'm not sure how you can do something too literally though. Cals in vs cals out.

it's only my take on things and suggestions. Everyone has their own ways. There's no right or wrong way about it.

    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
