if you have a family history i STRONGLY suggest you watch what you eat. that is one of the big risk factors. it is really hard to eat wellespecially if you are outside all the time from morning to night. 95% of the foods you can easily buy outside are not healthy and even if something is"healthy" it probably is expensive and not very nutritious (like those bs salads they sell). you should also regularly exercise like cardio that willhelp as well. also if you can bring your own lunch everytime. it was hard and annoying for me this semester but it saved me a lot of money and calories.Originally Posted by sheistbugz

I'm actually very skinny, I don't put on weight at all for some reason. not yet at least. i have history of heart disease in my family though, and I always worry about that. i can cut out junk food easily but don't know what to substitute it with.

eating healthy will not only help you maintain your weight but it will also lower your cholesterol and blood pressure which in the long run is more important than being skinny.

Good thread. In addition of my diet I take Whey, Superpump250, NO-Xplode, Nitrix, and Nitrotech protein but my diet usually consists of:
Breakfast: banana/vanilla protein shake (48g of protein) and Bagel or Muffin with water.
Lunch: 2 cans of Tuna with mayo on wheat with 1 serving of baked chips.
Dinner: 1 pound of Steamed vegetables with wheat bread.
2 Gallons of water throughout the day.
On my cardio days I burn about 700-800 calories. I run 2 miles and lift 6 days a week and I went from a skinny 154lbs in February to a lean 200lbs (although I have nice vascularity and definition in my arms I have a bit of a stomach)
Those kinds of gains have to unsustainable, assuming that you're telling the truth.

Example is someone who's skinny yet eats nothing but green, and lacks on protein. Granted, dude is healthy but is he bulked? Nope. Eating healthy to me is finding a medium where you calculate your cal intake, protein, carbs, fats, from your weight. It's not even that expensive, thanks to George F.

Obviously it's not lean muscle but I'm trying to cut right now. I'm fairly new to this so I know i've probably made some mistakes. Thanks for your input!
