Hi all,
Sorry for the somewhat lengthy post, English isn't my first language so I may explain things a bit more than what's necessary. Fair warnings to the Americans, I'll be using the metric system here.
Desperately looking for someone to point me in the right direction in terms of what to eat. Trying to get after it after multiple life-changing experiences this year. Got single in December, and my best friend died in May. Needless to say, It's been a ride.
Figured I wanted to do this for me, and for him as we often discussed the topic of getting bigger. He had huge forearms, and he's the one who showed me the zottman curls.
I've signed up a gym with another friend of mine who's been there for years. Thing is, I don't yet have a specific workout plan nor a diet plan.
I was a fan of Ronnie Coleman's deal with chicken, rice, bbq sauce. Little did I know, this is what he used for weight loss / getting super lean (Please correct me If I'm wrong here. This is something my friend told me, and therefore told me that I was eating wrong).
He told me to not care what I eat, and just stuff my face with pizza, burgers, and general fast food. Thing is, shit gets expensive real fast. I'm already blowing $500 a month on food because I live in a country where everything is ridiculously expensive. I also know fast food makes you feel shitty at the gym, so rather not deal with that too much.
Right now I'm sitting at 60kg at 183cm tall. If I am to trust the BMI calculators out there, I'm sitting at 17,9 which obviously is underweight. I remember reading somewhere that my ideal weight at these stats should be 80kg. I used different types of calculators for calories and found a formula that gave me answers. The formula was my body weight in kg (60kg) times 30-35 kcal/calories. The result of this is 2100 calories, which will be my maintenance level. Then it said to add 500-1000 calories on top of that for the bulking part itself.
I'm then sitting at 3100 calories that I need daily. This brings me to my end goal question:
What's the cheapest, most simple, and meal prep-friendly food that I can do? I don't mind repetitive eating. I already just eat salmon, rice, and sauce. And I also do chicken, sauce, and rice. But now not even knowing if this is a good idea or not, I'm getting second doubts on what I'm eating.
For reference, if it matters, I'm trying to end up somewhere between Zyzz's shredded but Eddie Hall's mass/figure
All replies and any push towards any right direction is more appreciated than ever. Thanks!
