i feel like i'm not progressing. people have said it takes women longer to see gains. ig that helps. okay i've played soccer for 2 seasons, completed 2 weightlifting classes, and started hitting the gym back in april. i've always been athletic to say but i don't see no gains. okay i weigh 113 currently and started at 109. i want to bulk up to 120, then do a cut to 115. but i don't eat good at all. i don't eat balanced meals. i struggle eating half the time which is probably why i haven't seen any gains. starting today i'll eat balanced meals. increase my macros intake as well. i'll eat 4x a day early morning, late morning, afternoon, evening. also i heard sleep plays a big role in this goal too. i can't eat anything past 8pm. and i need to be in bed and sleeping by 10pm. crucial for me to get 8 hrs of sleep. and i kinda suck at mai ring a routine for gym. i'll go consistently and instead of 3x8 i'll do until failure. we have itty bitty gains no more we want big gains. okay i'll be back for an update.

I think the key is in eating balanced meals with alot of protein and you can get protein in a variety of ways. Most people eat more meat but you can also find it in many veggies such as those mentioned here:

I have done alot of running in my life but never did alot of weight training which gave me back problems later in life due to a weak core so it's a good idea to focus on that especially if you are a tall person....

Good luck with your training.

Are you trying to build muscle? Good nutrition is a must for any body and for long life good health. I'd suggest you implement one change per day and when that is conquered, make the second change. Add some protein to your breakfast. I eat one piece of whole grain toast and almond butter. Some people make a couple of plain scrambled eggs. You want to add muscle so I am not sure things like smoothies are your best bet but this is not my forte.
