I currently live in Sweden and haven't looked into buying milk, meat, or other products directly from a local farm.
I go to the gym 5 days a week with 2 rest days, training close to failure, which is great for muscle growth. I'm currently unsure whether I should reduce the number of training days.
When it comes to food, my diet is pretty basic (pasta, cooked beef, and cooked chicken) I'm 180cm and weigh 59kg, giving me a BMI of 18.2, which is close to underweight for a 17yo. I'm in the middle of a bulk and my goal is to reach 70kg before summer, so I know I need to be in a calorie surplus.. I'm just not fully dialed in yet.
Even though I think I look good/healthy, I generally don't feel all the time comfortable in my body, which is what motivated me to start going to the gym in the first place.
My overall goal is simply to feel better both mentally and physically. The main challenge I'm facing rn is finding the right foods to eat, since I shop mostly at local supermarkets like Lidl. A typical day of eating looks like (4–6 eggs, pasta, cooked chicken, cooked beef, bread) and whatever is served at school.
What should I do in my situation../.
@reyu Skip the pasta and bread. If you cant eat fully raw meat then atleast buy like fatty meat and cook it very lightly so its raw still at least 50%. also raw milk is very good. If you cant get that then non-homoginized milk. also raw beef liver is the msot important to make you feel good on your body. trust me.
but eat the raw meat and milk as much as you like and you will grow muscle. no need to reduce the training days if you dont want to.
I have eaten raw meat from Lidl also. If you dont want just cook it very lightly, still red partly.

@Reyu try raw cream, egg yolks, and honey combined and mix that agressively and drink it. it has shit ton of calories if you put a lot of those. that's what I do 0.5 liters of heavy cream 35% fat, 15 raw egg yolks and 2 tbsp of raw honey, mix and drink.

@Rabbimhm alright, I'll definitely try that. Btw right now I’m defrosting the frozen chicken thighs I got maybe around 270 g frozen. I put them in the microwave (defrost mode). I’ll wait until theyre defrosted, then I’ll cut the chicken into small pieces and cook it a bit in a pan with olive oil so I can eat faster. Could I do that?

@juz I am not gonna cook them all the way 50% and I will try to use salted butter 82% fat insted of olive oil if thats what you think would be bad for me
-
@Rabbi mhm, but do you think I did the right thing by defrosting the chicken that way? And besides that when I was cooking the chicken I obviously set it to the highest temperature so it would cook faster.
-
@Rabbi so… what would be a better defrosting method? xd I understand your point, but could you explain why you shouldn’t use the microwave? I’m guessing it’s because bacteria can grow faster instead of saying optimally but I get what you mean
-
@Reyu Its more natural I suppose.. microwaving changes the molecular structure of food, so does freezing your food
Overall it’s better do to not freeze or defrost your meat via a microwave -

@Reyu to be honest bro if your trying to get really big and be super consistent in the gym in in the wrong place. Stressing your body doesn’t align with the primal diet and bulking on it will be expensive
If you want to shine like the sun, First you have to burn like it
