Hello, Im trying to bulk up and gain some muscle and am having a hard time understanding the diet part of it. In the past 5 months I've lost 60lbs and now weigh 156. I'm 17yrs male and 6ft 1in. My goal is 185lbs and 8% body fat. Now for the questions. How much should I eat? I workout with weights 6 times a week and do 30 mins of high intensity cardio 6 days a week also (1 day of rest a week). I eat good healthy foods only (except on my 1 cheat meal a week) and is was wondering if it would matter if I ate medium healthy on most meals (meaning I would start to add sauces and seasonings to my meat). The things I eat mainly are chicken breasts, fish, shrimp, brown rice, lots of vegetables, fruit, Greek yogurt, basically as healthy as you can get (I don't eat red meat). So my main questions are

1) how many calories should I get a day

2)does it really matter what I eat as long as I get the protein I need and it's not something like fast food or really unhealthy foods

3) what are some foods I should add to my diet (if any)

Any help would be great. Thanks

Hey guys, let me start out by describing myself. 6 months ago I weighed 215 and then i went on a vegan diet and starved myself all the way down to 155. Now ive changed my diet to a lean protein diet. Im 17 yrs old, 6ft 1in, and as of this morning I weigh 156. I started lifting weights at the gym a week and a half ago. One of my questions is how much should i be eating? I found out my BMR with a online calculator and it came to be 1850. Then i multiplied that by 1.65 because that fit my activity level and got 3,052 calories a day to maintain my weight. This seems like a lot to me. I currently am eating anywhere from 1,700-2,000 calories a day and the food i do eat is super clean (brown rice,99% fat free chicken breasts, salmon, any bread i eat is always whole wheat, plain oatmeal, fruit, lots of vegetables, etc.) How many calories do you think i should be eating a day in order to maintain. Im trying to clean bulk and my goal is 185lbs and 8% body fat. I drink a scoop of whey protein a day after i workout to help me get my protein needs ( i try to get 1 gram of protein per 1lb of weight so 156g a day). Do i need to take anything else besides the whey protein? As for my activity i go to the gym 6 times a week to lift weights and i do 30 mins of cardio a day except on fridays when i do 1 hour. Overall im new to the whole building muscle thing and am pretty overwhelmed and confused. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Hey guys. I've been thinking very hard lately on what I want to do when I get out of high school. I would really enjoy being a chef in a nice restaurant. I was wondering on what the requirements would be as well as the odds of me getting a job in this field are. I live in Tennessee and was thinking of going to the art institute of Tennessee located in Nashville. Is this a good college? Is this a hard college to get into? My act score is a 23 and I make A's B's and C's. Also what is the average income for a chef. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

First off let me describe my body, I'm 6 1' and 17 years old. I weigh 161 but just 3 months ago I weighed 215 (I lost weight with a vegan diet). Now I've switched to what I think is called pescatarian (vegetarian with fish). My goal is to have a flat stomach with visible abs. For the past 3 weeks I have been exercising and on a low fat protein diet. To give you an idea of what a day is like for me here's what I do now

-Morning

I wake up every day at 5:45 and have half of a breakfast (usually non fat Greek yogurt that's 120 calories) then I do the following work outs before school

•I max out on diamond push-ups and wide push-ups then I do a thing called an ab wheel 60 times. Then I do 30 mins on a tread climber (a treadmill that is split down the middle so it's like you're climbing up stairs)

•then the second half of breakfast, yesterday day was a bowl of whole wheat oatmeal (150 calories)

-school snack at 11

•yesterday it was a serving of almonds (160 calories)

-home

• i do a mini workout before lunch. I max out on inclined diamond and wide push-ups then the ab wheel 60 times and I do mountain climbers for 45 sec.

-lunch

•Yesterday I had a sweet potato and a hard boiled egg along with half a cup of steamed broccoli

-dinner

•usually dinner has fish in it. Yesterday was salmon with a salad that had no dressing

-last workout

•I max on wide and diamond push-ups then ab wheel 60 times and 45 sec. Of mountain climbers

And that's my day.

Any help would be great

Hey guys I was wondering what kind of desktop it should get for gaming. I want a top of the line one and I'm willing to spend up to $5,000. I would rather not build one but if that's the best way to get a amazing PC then I'll do it. Also i want one that has the best stuff in it even if it is overkill and I will never use it to it's full potential.

Hey guys I'm looking for a gaming desktop that will be for my graduation present. I've been looking into the alienware aurora special 4k gaming deal ($5,000). I'm wanting a desktop that will run every game out there with no lag. Is that a good desktop for that or would you guys recommend a different one. I don't want to spend to much over $5,000 and I want the desktop to have a Intel I-7 processor or something better (if there is). I'm just looking for a really nice desktop to use for gaming. Ps style of the desktop isn't as important to me as performance. Any advice would be appreciated.
