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

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.

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.

      GTR R34 Limp Mode

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Has equal chance of cleaning an AFM and f**king an AFM. I think you can work out what happened. When the Hitachi ECU sees the AFM die and goes into the associated limp mode, then it will start and run just fine, because it ignores the AFM and just runs on idle maps that will do what it needs to get it going. But there is no proper load signal, so that's about all it can do. My suggestion? If you don't want to go full aftermaket ECU, then get some R35 GTR AFM cards and some housings to put them in, in the stock location, and Nistune the ECU. Better to do a good upgrade than just replace shitty 40 year old tech with the same 40 year old tech.

      GTR R34 Limp Mode

      By steven7270 · Posted

      So my car was recently having trouble starting on initial crank, I would need to feather the gas for it to start up but besides that it would start and run fine. So I clicked the idle air control valve (with throttle body cleaner) and cleaned the MAF sensors (with MAF cleaner). The start up issue was fixed and now the car turns over without the assist of the throttle, but the car is in limp mode and wont rev past 2.5k RPM. From what I understand the IACV would not put the car in limp mode, so I am to believe it is the MAF sensors, but it was running fine before and now I cant get it out of limp mode. I cleaned the MAF made sure the o rings were seated properly. Made sure the cables were plugged in properly, the cables also both read the same voltage. Does anybody know why this is or what could be causing this or how to get it out of limp mode?

      Rusty roof repair

      Thanks. Yeah I realised that there's no way I'd be able to cover the holes with the filler, it would just fall through. Thanks again @GTSBoy!

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      That was the reason I asked. If you were going to be fully bodge spec, then that type of filler is the extreme bodge way to fill a large gap. But seeing as you're going to use glass sheet, I would only use that fibre reinforced filler if there are places that need a "bit more" after you've finished laying in the sheet. Which, ideally, you wouldn't. You might use a blob of it underneath the sheet, if you need to provide some support from under to keep the level of your sheet repair up as high as it needs to be, to minimise the amount of filler you need on top. Even though you're going bodge spec here, using glass instead of metal, the same rules apply wrt not having half inch deep filler on the top of the repair. Thick filler always ends up shitting the bed earlier than thin filler.
