After a long lazy hiatus Im back on a Starting Strength type workout plan, basically compound movements 3x a week.
Ive been doing research online and cannot find a solid basis for nutrition. I see many sites reference the (50% carb, 30% protein, and 20% fat) but also see people shun most carbs all together, working out fasted or in ketosis.
My current plan is to just buy whole wheat carbs (bread, pasta, etc) and tons of lean meat. Id eat around my maintenance every day, and then slam two double scoop protein shakes w milk (total of ~1000 cals, 120g protein) on the 3 days I lift.
I've read even as a beginner, which I basically am at this point, can at the absolute very best expect 4lb of muscle in the first and maybe second month (more realistically 2 lb), so I don't see any reason to eat any more than the protein shakes (~3000 cal a week surplus) over maintenance.
All the computation gets kinda annoying. One friend I had was in fantastic shape, strong and ripped. He would just eat foods "when he was hungry". Apparently his body would just let him know when he needed food. I wish I could be that in tune.
