So /fit/ ive been training and eating clean foe about 6 months.

Start roiding and get bigger gains while working out less time

just repeat the ronnie mantra

nothing to it but to do it

>>41868693
If you need energy: eat more. You can eat 1000 calories clean or 3000 calories clean, just depends what your goal is. If you're constantly sluggish, you may be in too deep a cut
If you need motivation: not always gonna be motivation good buddy. Just remember you're working towards a goal. Failing that, 300mg of caffeine and some death metal should do it as a short-term fix

Can I replace the tuna with something else? I have a genuine hate of fish and seafood

>>41868842

Do not listen to this garbage advice.

I am so fucking sick of people giving the advice "U NEED TO EET MOAR" for everything everybody asks. You're seriously recommending this dude eats 3000 calories a fucking day? He's going to undo 6 months of progress. Seriously, half of the problem for the majority of people on fit is that they're eating too much or simply eating the wrong things. Most of the people posting here don't have the discipline to stop eating junk food or regulate their calories, so they go for this "build" that just so happens to come with a huge fucking beer belly and tits. I don't care how much you lift, if you're overweight it's still not healthy for you. People can shout their memes "LAWL MUH SKELLY DYEL SPOTTED OLOL" like a bunch of children, but odds are that not everybody who logs into this forum is trying to get huge fucking swole Arnold steroids mode.

No fuckhead, OP doesn't necessarily need to "eat more" just because he has an active social life and is going to school. It's amazing that he's balancing all three - he should feel tired at the end of the day.

First of all, congrats on making it that long and taking changes in your life.

The main advice I'd give you is that, if you need motivation, you won't be able to do this for the long term. Discipline is best. I've found that getting up early and getting to bed early are usually the most helpful for getting energy. How many hours of sleep are you getting a night?

>>41869570
I usually get arround 8 to 9 hours. But sometimes go out on week days or have the ocational saturday exam an get about 5 hours

>>41869638

Believe it or not, those 5 hour nights could be part of the problem.

But yeah, if you're not getting up before your alarm goes off, that's pretty much a sign you're not getting enough sleep.

Again, balancing gym, academics, and an active social life should make you tired at the end of the day.

It is rarley the case I get so few hours. Maybe 3 or 4 times a month.

However I am tired before my morning cofee. Is it possible I need more sleep and that its affecting my motivation (or gain)?

I would venture to guess yes. I'm personally pretty against coffee / caffeine (but that's just me), because you're artificially making your body think its' more "awake" than it really is (possibly part of the problem). In fact, depending on how much coffee you're drinking, you'll probably experience headaches and become super tired if you quit cold turkey.

But another thing that might help your original problem would be to set fitness goals. Losing x lbs, doing x on bench, running x distance in y time, etc. Usually when I have a goal to work towards it keeps me going.
