What does /fit/ think is the supplements that are actually worth getting?

For example;
Protein powder
Creatine
Multivitamin+minerals

There seems to be phases where people say certain things are key like BCAA's to name something. So what does /fit/ actually think is worth getting in terms of supplements?

This might be a stupid question, but what's the difference between cardio and stimulants? Obviously you're working during cardio, but why is cardio healthy by increasing your heart rate, but stimulants aren't?

A month or so ago I got tired of being as skinny as I am (27 5'11 137lbs) and decided to start working out.


I purchased a pullup bar (some iron gym copy) and started my first week with 3 sets of 8 pullups a day, then a few days later 3 sets of 10, and now starting last week it's 3 sets of 10 (chin ups instead of pullups) and 3 sets of 10 pushups, and situps. I have also added a small 1 mile run to this routine.


I'm noticing improvements already, but now I want to change my lifestyle completely. Trying to cut out all sugars from my diet that I can tolerate and I'm wanting to eat things that help me put on weight. I work in an office where I have started eating half a rotisserie chicken and half a bag of steamed vegetables for lunch instead of the usual subway/jimmy johns/wendy's I would usually get.

My questions are about both my current work out, and my diet. In the sticky they recommend eating a lot of grains, however other reading / listening seems to say the exact opposite. What should I be eating? Is there an easier way to get a decent (filling) lunch rather than buying that whole chicken and vegetables? What should my breakfast look like? According to MFP I need to be eating some 2400 calories a day just to gain 4 pounds a week. (My target weight is 170)

With working out, is there something better I should be doing with my time? I'm sure the chin-ups are fine, but what about the pushups / situps? Should I replace those with something else? If I keep up with this for another month I'm going to invest in a kettlebell for more home exercising, but I'm starting to wonder if a gym membership would be worth it?


I know a lot of these questions are in the sticky, and I'm not even sure if 4chan is the place to be asking questions like this, but I usually find some good stuff here, and I know the people here are less likely to recommend fad diets / fake ways to get big.

Why am I always tired?

Let me just clarify a few things.
>I'm not normie tired, where I complain about being tired anytime I yawn
>I get between 7-9 hours of sleep a day
>I eat all the food groups everyday
>I exercise on a consistent basis

What am I doing wrong that's causing this crippling sleepiness 8 hours after I wake up?

>Girlfriend broke up with me 5 months ago (first ever gf, lasted for almost 6 months)
>Said it was because she's too busy and doesn't want a relationship atm
>I know for a fact that it's because I was too clingy and annoying
>Now she's got a new boyfriend and he's friends with a lot of people I know and I have a feeling she's going to tell him a lot about what a cringey loser I am

I feel extremely weird about this whole situation and it's affecting my appetite.

I literally cannot finish a small meal, I'm not hungry at all and I feel like vomiting. I don't know what's wrong with me. I don't now if I'm sad or if it's because I'm scared of getting a reputation as a massive clingey loser, but I just feel so weird that it's affecting my appetite and energy levels.

Today at the gym I was struggling to complete my workout. I felt tired, I didn't feel like working out, I still did.

Now It' almost bed time for me and I've literally ate <1800 calories today. Just barely finished a small chicken/pasta meal.

What's wrong with me and what do I do?
