Carbs = calories = potential for growth. You only get fat if you eat too much carbohydrates or you eat high carb and fat food together which fucks your insulin up (to paraphrase).

Thats my understanding at least, feel free to prove me wrong as keeping lean is my main problem.

What other energy sources are there? Fat and Protein are, to my knowledge, pretty ineffective as energy

Gyms going good. Will post up routine soon as ive spent the new year just turning up and doing w/e for each body-part day but now I'm in full motion of gym.

Also I've noticed when I'm hitting the gym hard every 5 days a week, I eat way healthier and generally take care of my appearance more too. Whilst when I miss a few days and end up doing say 2 or 3 my grooming, eating and training intensity go way down.

Was hard balancing all the work I'm doing - I'm involved in like producing 5 short films simultaneously whilst at the club more, saturday sarge etc. Now my reading has gone down haha, hard to fit them all in as I'm such a lazy shit.

In best shape of my life though! Is it gay to post pics?

A bit but go on lol.
