Am I retarded? I heard it doesn't really matter all that much as long as you're still working out relatively close like 1-2hrs from when you last had a meal.

Should have asked that dumb bitch to post body them showed her a picture of a frog

She's a cardio bunny not much to say it's obvious she's hired to be good on the eyes for boomers to sign up without thinking.

when I was lazy I'd OMAD like 3.5k calories in one sitting then gym 1 hour after and not eat the whole day
honestly doesn't matter unless your an athlete and gym is your job

>>76617199 (OP)
I honestly don't know, one one hand digestion, recovery and growth are a continous process, on the other I've noticed that if I have my biggest clean meal after working out (400g beef, 100g rice, eggs, vegetables etc), I feel like I'm progressing better than when I wasn't eating my most nutrient/protein packed meal after the gym. May be placebo though, who knows.

Diet doesn't fucking matter
Some days I barely even eat protein. I barely even fucking eat at all. I still progress on my lifts and I lost a ton of weight. Strength went down a little but I'm not chasing numbers, I just do more reps to failure

>>76617199 (OP)
Anabolic window is bullshit 60s/70s science that has long been disproven. There's really no need for autistic meal timing around workouts so long as you get all your macros throughout the day. Most of your recovery is being done while sleeping anyways lmao. Although OP even if you're not wrong you are indeed still retarded.

>>76617250
Yeah I "feel" like I am making more progress eating after, but when I eat before like Big->small->small I can do far more at the gym.

>honestly doesn't matter unless your an athlete and gym is your job
My gym is just on the way to/from work that's why I stop by twice

Kinda figured it was based on some old "this is how my pappy did it! that's how you should to!' science

>>76617254
Yeah, the body is incredibly good at allocating resources and operating under harsh conditions with sporadic nutrition. Granted once you get older you will benefit from dialing in your diet and being more consistent with it. Enjoy living fast and loose while you can anon.

>>76617260
I eat fairly clean homecooked meals, im not shoveling processed goy slop. but I also don't feel guilty for slathering a shit ton of mayo on my sandwich

>>76617243
How do you poop? OMAD is a great way to clog your intestines up

>>76617279
idk I just poop regularly in the mornings as usual back when I did OMAD lol

>>76617243
>3.5k calories in one sitting
fat ass nigga

you don't lift. diet is very important: calories and protein intake especially. if you don't get proper nutrition then L your training efforts are wasted, no exaggeration. I'd even say focusing on diet is more important than sleep or even intensity for reaching your fitness goals.
>>76617199 (OP)
it kinda matters. usually carbs before and after working out (plus before bed if you have trouble sleeping), protein all throughout the day, and fats whenever.

>>76617243
>3.5k calories

They are unironically like this.

>>76617199 (OP)
I'd be more concerned with the fact that your two main daily meals are fast food slop

>>76617199 (OP)
>sorry, I don't take advice from women
>proceed with my workout

>>76617199 (OP)
It doesn't matter for a bodybuilder/strengh training. athletes might be something else. But for someone who just lifts, as long as you eat your calories/protein between your sleeps you are good.

and unlike us fitcels they're genuinely happy so who's the real winner HUH?
