Workin at sonic is better. Get paid. Free food. Free drinks.

 

What's the macro breakdown (protein/carbs/fat)?

"It contains 23g, or half a daily serving, of protein"

 

Fat 246 g
Carbs 431 g
Protien 140 g

 

That's a lot of damn fat! I shoot to stay under 70g of fat and at least 1g of protein per lb of bodyweight

 

It is.. But I still don't gain weight

 

Just watched pumping iron for the first time, all those guys are monsters

 

Up the calories. Not gaining weight means you're not eating enough. I'd take out enough fat to put you at around 70g per day and add more protein

 

Fuck you to whoever posted about McD's. Heading there now.

 

My total count for calories yesterday was 4500. I didn't work out, so I didn't drink my protien.

 

Wut

 

I seriously contemplated it, but decided not to #willpower Enjoy your McDouble, fatass

You're probably not gaining any muscle because your protein is too low. 4500 calories is sufficient for most people to grow, but you're not going to gain muscle eating 4500 calories of mayonnaise. I drink a protein shake everyday, no matter if I work out or not. I know a lot of people have low and high carb days, depending on what days they workout, but I eat the same 6 meals every day, no matter what. In my opinion, you shouldn't cycle protein. Max protein everyday is gonna help you grow. I would never skip an opportunity to get some protein; that's like saying, "I didn't workout today, so I'm not going to eat this steak."

 

So basically drink protien no matter the day?

 

Exactly. Protein = muscle growth. Muscles don't grow in the gym; they grow when they're resting and repairing what was broken down during a workout. The day after a workout is an essential time to get protein in your body because that's when the muscles are repairing themselves. It doesn't matter if it's from a shake, steak, turkey, tuna, etc. Protein is protein. Just make sure you get a lot of it

 

What the hell is an ecto?

 

You're also 17....most boys at 17 can eat all fucking day long and not put on an ounce. I was pretty much 150-155 lbs from 15-20 years old. My weight hasn't come until after 25
