"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

Hi All,

Been using fitday.com to get an idea of how many calories, etc I can intake on a daily basis, without making myself uncomfortably full all the time.

Here's what I've come up with:

Breakfast:

2 small crumpets w/ honey and marmite

8am snack:

Musashi LP1 Shake w/ 500ml Full Cream Milk

Snack throughout day:

50g dried fruit
100g surimi (seafood flakes)
1/4 cup rice crackers
1/2 packet of Snakata rice biscuits

10am Morning Tea:

1 whole boiled egg
3 sesame crackers w/ honey

Lunch:

4 x large teriyaki chicken sushi rolls

Afternoon Tea:

2 large chicken eggs, whole boiled
3 sesame crackers

4pm snack:

Musashi LP1 Shake w/ 500ml Full Cream Milk

Dinner:

Chicken Thigh Fillet grilled
Side of veges
Gravy, or similar sauce

8-10pm snack:

Musashi LP1 Shake w/ 500ml Full Cream Milk (after workout)


As you can see, I'm aiming towards foods that I can cook in bulk and reheat - my diet is partially process, part cooked.

Nutrients:

Calories: 3560
Protein: 234g (26%)
Carbs: 424g (47%)
Fat: 105g (27%)

Please let me know what you think

Thanks
Maggs
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

Damn dude, glad to see you decided to start gainin.

I'd say start lifting too, and add in a whey protien shake after each workout to get even more in. :)
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

Your diet is pretty good. Bump up the protein to 250g, keep the carbs where they are. Make sure your not counting protein from carb sources in your protein total. Only count animal protein and whey in your protein total for the day. Also add red meat to your diet.
