I also agree with that 100%. I only do 1 shake out of 6 meals and it’s because I am working with clients, so I don’t want to eat a meal in front of their face while working with them. And sometimes if I’m not as hungry I’ll do a second shake just to get protein in and not skip a meal. But you’re totally right, shakes shouldn’t be a crutch. If you want to get solid gains you’re going to have to get that metabolism firing and eat some meals

Helps a lot it’s great info I am just a student and I try to research as much as possible before I ask. I’m at 255lbs and want to get down to 220lbs. I have no problem gaining weight or size. I want definition now and I know that is all done by diet. Thanks again for this info!
Nice. I consider this a must read for beginners. Lack of a good diet tailored to your specific goals makes it impossible to reach those goals regardless of a person's training. Never underestimate a good diet.
Make this a Sticky.
I weigh almost everything. I don't usually weigh veggies. I often cook 1lb bags of frozen broccoli, green beans, etc & divide them b/w 2 meals. So, I just log it as 1/2 container per meal.
Proteins, I often weigh before/after cooking & record the ratio for future reference. For example, raw chicken breast is ABOUT 1.3x heavier than it is baked. A few times, I've weighed my ground beef before/after cooking to get an idea of how much to weigh out for each portion. I weigh cheese, jerky, etc all the time to keep my portions consistent. My roommates look at me crazy for weighing out my protein powder. I use protein powder to reach my protein goal, so the amount I take per day varies. Some days it's up to 80g, some days it's as little as 30-40g powder.
Waking up starving? Drink 0.5-1L water. This has happened to me a few times, and the water knocks it out. That sensation of being hungry is OFTEN your body's message for being thirsty. Try it. If you're still hungry after 1L water, you're actually hungry.
