How the **** does anyone get in 6-8 meals a day anyway? Are you retired or what? I get one lunch break, not 3 and my boss would not allow me to be stuffing my face all day. Eat however works best with your schedule, for me that's 3 meals with a couple small snacks in between. Works for me and it's not rocket science.
In regards to buying food cheap, go to the grocery store and ask the meat guy if he has anything nearing expiration and tell him you'll buy it all for a discount. Sometimes you can get stuff at or below their cost then freeze it.
In regards to "Getting big" one thing that a noob should consider is how it makes you feel. When I was serious about bodybuilding eating all those calories made me feel like **** - sluggish, bloated and farting all day. And before anyone responds stating "I feel fine" I don't really care. I'm just telling you it made me feel like **** and a noob should take this into consideration.
I now eat less (mostly natural healthy foods) and do exercise that interests me - biking, tennis and also hit the weights but am not all psycho-serious about it. I'm fit, feel better than ever and look just fine without gobs of muscle and I have a hot girlfriend. If I were a kid I'd be so confused reading threads like this with nobody able to agree on anything. Just clear your mind and make things simple. Eat healthy when you want, exercise in a manner that interests you and don't get wrapped up in the nonsense, it's that simple.
Is that a good thing?
