Diet
Petthegoose's diet includes five meals a day with high protein and low sugar. To stay on track, he cooks all his meals for the week on Sunday and heats them up throughout the week. Although he drinks protein bars, he avoids any product that contains whey or milk because he is lactose intolerant.
Tips for gaining lean muscle mass

The most important thing is to hit the gym, increase the intensity over time, and supplement it with meals that contain high protein and low sugar.
