Pittspeed Fitness & Nutrition thread update:

The best routine in the world will do nothing for you without proper nutrion and rest. Do some research ahead of time and avoid wasting an entire year.

Read the info below before you “Forget the supplements”

Protein contains 4 calories per gram
Carbohydrates contain 4 calories per gram
Fat contains 9 calories per gram

If your BMR is 2000 calories per day and you split it 40/40/20 (40% Protein, 40% Carbs, 20% Fat) this = 200 grams of protein, 200 grams of carbs, and 100 grams of fat per day.

Your 2 hardboiled eggs = about 12 grams of protein and a 6 oz grilled chicken breast = about 40 grams. This = a whopping 52 grams of protein. You are short about 150 grams of protein EVERYDAY. You need to eat 3 more chicken breasts and 3 or 4 more hard boiled egg whites EVERYDAY. DAILY Chicken total: 4-6oz (1.5#) breast (grilled) and 6 hard boiled eggs. WEEKLY CHICKEN TOTAL: 3.5 dozen eggs and 10.5 Pounds of chicken

Lets compare: Boiling 15 dozen eggs and grilling 45 pounds of chicken every month or just stopping by your favorite nutritional store and picking up a tub of whey protein powder?

Of course this is based on a 2000 calorie per day diet.
