Your body isn't sentient. Stop this shit.

I had progress in weight loss years back from that, I went from 220lbs to 154lbs at 6' tall in a span of 7 months back in 2011-2012. I never ate breakfast except for black coffee, had two plain rolls and a pint of whole milk for lunch, and would come home for dinner and eat whatever (usually something like meatloaf and veggies). You can do it, but now I've been jogging for the past couple weeks and just last week started at the gym. I'm thinking I may have to really start counting calories and macros if I want to get the results I want (I don't want to overeat and just get fat). Mostly I aim to eat a can of beans, two scoops of protein powder, and some other source of protein like some lunchmeat or a protein bar every day on top of whatever else I eat (usually oatmeal).

Classic hard gainer here, I eat what I want when I want. I eat until full and or plate is clean.

Consistent gains, been bulking harder recently and taking a pump supplment and anabolic enhancer. 0 loss of aesthetic.

1 1/2 hour workouts though

Squat 3pl8+some
DL 4pl8
Bench 250
OHP lmao 1pl8

This. Hormonal control over appetite is flawed by the availability of todays calorie dense foods.

I'm sure if you lived as a hermit, with no access to anything other than local spices and herbs, hunted animals and ate when you felt like, you would be a healthy weight.

Anyone with intermediate lifts knows the truth about somatotypes and 'hard gainers'

You're either lying about your stats or pretending to be retarded.

Fucking this

For me, that's the only viable way to bodybuild.

When I started 3 years ago, I would obsess over ''eating clean'' and shit, and I'm pretty sure I developed orthorexia for at least 5 months. Pretty emotionally-abusive.

I thought this until I actually started counting my calories, I was fucking starving for the first few days eating 1600/1700 healthy calories a day which made me wonder how much I was eating before
