How much Food to Eat????

[kazman68]

I remember seeing a photo of Mike Mattarazo (sp)hotel room with 2 bottles of pepto bismol on the night stand. Lol.. I've talked to him many times over the years and he was a huge eater. He ate a lb steak at every meal. He also had quadruple heart surgery years later .

Yah, Mike was eating 6 pounds of red meat a day..his father also had heart problems, he is alive and doing well now, a bondsman in Modesto. Still a decent 220-230#

So true! Food is the most anabolic substance on earth..don't know why some guys find that so hard to believe,they think you actually grow in the gym.

Got a few guys at work always asking what's your secret. One ESP eats all fast and processed food. I try to help them.......I'm not their personal chief and coach lol can only help so much . Can lead a horse to water......
It's a shame cause the fast food guys works out all the damn time...u can barely tell.

I hear you, I tried to help a guy too..training 15 yrs and you can't tell, I wrote a diet (which he wouldn't follow) I asked him what he ate at work while there 10 hours (after working out earlier that day)

4 Diet Pepsi's (no water)
1 Bag potato chips
1 Snicker's bar


I just shook my head, he said" what you never eat anything bad?" I gave up and never talked to him again.

Lol. I like your style kaz! I try to lead by example with these guys. They always ask what I'm eating for lunch or say Man U are eating again? Sure chicken chili and beans for lunch gets old some days but its hot, fresh, $5 and the girl that works there is hot as hell and loves to talk to me lol. even my wife said if she went gay she would totally bang her lol.......dream of all dreams is the wife and her scissoring lmao!

It's all about the diet! Took me ages to realize it. It's not just cals but what those cals are from.

If the scissors thing ever happens let us know People just don't have the willpower, or discipline to eat the right way..it's a pain(well not to me ) to carry your meals wherever you go, but it must be done..couldn't get it though to the guy, he also said something along the lines of "well they do have chicken nuggets at work." fucking forget it...you will never be big, your wasting your time and money at the gym, nit that he trained any better, when he left he was bone dry, and drinking (of course) a diet pepsi, guy didn't drink water!!!!!

Exactly. I've met so many people who are like you lift only 3x week. You should be lifting 6x week. I just laugh as I walk away considering I'm bigger than most of them.

[Fit Guru]

Yea I tell my people that all the time. You grow when you rest and eat. If your training every single day your still hitting something inadvertently that you hit yesterday.

Agreed, people think you spend 8 hours a day in the gym...that's what I spend in a week + 2 20 min cardio sessions at home.

Yah, Mike was eating 6 pounds of red meat a day..

Who can afford to eat all that.........much less have the time to prepare it......must have an assistant and deep pockets

Mike was a pro and didn't have a 'regular' job he was probably doing ok with endorsements etc...
