Additional reading
If you wish to read more about diets and fitness at a very basic level, I would recommend paying a visit to “Harsh’s Worksheet”, Liam Rosen’s “Beginners’ Health and Fitness Guide” and the FAQ page on Reddit’s fitness forum. Bodybuilding.com is generally a good resource for intermediates, regardless if your goal is to become a bodybuilder.
No matter if your goal is to lose weight, gain weight, change your body composition or simply maintain your current state, I would highly recommend tracking your daily calorie consumption. It’s quick, simple, and will help you reach your goals, no matter what they may be. I personally recommend the MyFitnessPal app and website.
