gonna start work at 9 am full time this coming monday..

how do you guys stay hydrated and productive but not have to use the restroom every 40 minutes? do you bring a gallon bottle to work?

diet? (this is more of a general question) i've never dieted a day in my life and have always been skinny fat. i would really wanna diet but i'm gonna be living at home still, saving up some money for a year or two before i get my own place. i already have two fridges and they are always full with my parents' shit. how do you guys manage cooking in a smaller kitchen? meal preparation? meal plans without getting tired of eating food? do you eat more or less the same thing daily?

haven't decided if i want to go to the gym early in the morning or after work. if i go in the morning, i'll probably have no time to eat breakfast unless i blend some oats, whey and chug it. traffic could be a bitch around where i live. lots of tech companies around my area.

For me, yes. Lotta sammiches, and eggs + rice.


I tend to go on my lunch break (we have a small gym onsite.) If I didn't, I'd likely just f?!k around online at my desk, and not get a workout in that day.

you're thinking about it the wrong way. you get paid for being there. the more time you spend taking restroom breaks is less time you spend working. it's the same reason why i try to take a shit at work. with 20+ years experience, feels good to get paid to take a shit.

Gallon every day

Infinite piss breaks

I drink like 3 gallons a day and I work in a rehab center within my hospital. Unless you're tied up in meetings all the time...just pee when you need to. Sometimes I have to hold it but if I'm not peeing at least once an hour I know I'm not drinking enough. Also urine should be practically clear, unless morning time. That's how you know you're staying hydrated. I don't need to bring a gallon to work, I just have a 32 ounce camelbak bottle that I fill constantly. If I'm driving over distance I'll grab a gallon. I drink 40 ounces when I wake up in the morning, 1/2 a gallon by 12 pm, another half by the time I leave the center. 6 ounces before I work out, 40 ounces after I'm done working out. Depending on how hot it was and what type of work out I did I'll mix a diluted gatorade powder with 32 ounces of water. Then another 40 ounces before I sleep ( usually over an hour or so not all at once )

As for the smaller kitchen, learn what you like and what's healthy my meals are pretty simple outside of the fruit / veggies I cut up in my fridge.
It's a sweet potato ( 1/3rd pending size ) 1/2 cup egg white liquid / 1 egg chicken sausage in the morning with kale thrown in at the end for breakfast
lunch is brown rice / fish or whatever protein / small salad
dinner is usually a salad with protein in it

I use 3 dishes, 1 skillet, 2 pots to boil / steam / mix.
Don't need a lot of space, if you know what you like.

Do IF , workout in the morning, and I don't see a problem with using the washroom every 40 minutes if you need to use the washroom..

i work a desk job at least 40 hrs/week

i sit in my cubicle and eat pretty much all day.
apples, bananas, string cheese, hard boiled eggs, chips, chocolate pretzels, peanut butter pretzels, peanut m&ms, tuna, spinach, canned beans (microwaved),

my lunch at work is just leftovers from whatever i had for dinner the night before.

and when i get off work i go straight to the gym and lift 9000 lbs

also i piss at work constantly, but it is healthy to get up and walk around once an hour anyway.

Can't edit but if you have the energy and the drive work out in the morning...most people want to relax when they're off of work unless you're a savage then do it twice a day like me.
Seriously though go in the morning you'll drag and cry about it but once you're there it's fine.
Also sets your mind to be clear and calm for the day in a shitty office.

I just use the restroom a lot. What's the big deal?
