hello everyone! I'm trying to lose my belly fat. I've been working out every day and slowly adding some cardio into my agenda

pretty lost on the diet aspect of it. Can I get a list of foods I can or can't eat? I wanna make sure I eat as healthy as possible. I am trying to gain muscle mass, but at the same time i kind of want my belly fat to go away

You have to eat more before you can look more lean in most cases. Keep eating a shit load of food, do squats and deadlift. Then just cardio / don't eat as much to let your newly developed muscle show through. Nothing complicated about it really, you're good.

You can achieve a shredded looking set of abs by literally consuming nothing but chicken breasts and pizza. Don't even worry about your diet as long as you are actually building muscle underneath all of that blubber. Its most essential that you actually get nutrients to feed your muscular development, you can ALWAYS adjust your body fat % later - assuming you didn't go 100% obese mode. Try to stay under 20% body fat at all times.

If you're not sure what 20% looks like, that's the average decently fit male's physique. Your muscles will be defined enough that you can actually see their shape without your limbs looking like sausages, but not defined enough that you can actually see the striations and subdivisions of the muscle mass.


Also despite pop science belief, individuals actually DO accumulate fat in specific, genetically determined areas of their bodies - AND it works differently for men and women. For instance - Some women have HUGE TITS, for no reason at all except their genetics and estrogen levels. In the same way, some men develop beer bellies while having decently muscular physiques. If the rest of your body is looking decent, do NOT starve yourself to try to make your belly look better. Just keep eating and building muscle, it will be very easy to adjust later on.

Another thing you need to drop is the idea that foods are inherently good or evil. Blaming the food is something that fat excusers came up with to justify their obese weight and to explain how they are actually a victim, rather than just a slob who can't stop putting food in their mouths.

From a fat gaining point of view, the only thing that matters is how many calories above your daily maintenance requirements you're eating. As I said before, you can literally exist on nothing but pizza and chicken and have a perfect body - you'd probably just feel like shit a lot of the time because things like rice can deliver a more acute energy source on demand, like before your morning work out. Which can be preferable to always relying on your fat reserves to get your energy

Eat a 500-1000 cal deficit

Eat 4/6 times a day, small meals that consist of lean proteins, a carb and veggies. Pick your carbs wisely for overall health, high fiber diets keep cholesterol down and overall health up.

So calorie deficit, lean protein, carbs and veg

Eating 4-6 meals actually has no scientific basis to it and is purely bro science that is actually more prone to causing eating problems to occur.

The nutritional label on my previous post reads:

45% bro science
10% encouragement
45% indisputable fact


You could take it literally and get some pretty gosu abs, maybe even get a bj

Your entire post is a combination of make believe/the most glossed over summary of theories in dietetic science (which even at its best is basically a pseudoscience)

And yours is an assertion without a single letter which even attempts to back it up.

aka: not an argument.

PS.
"the most glossed over summary of theories in dietetic science"
