Can someone explain to the boy that she likes him?

 

[Mieglen]

Fuck man, all the food here looks really good

 

[Ochrolv]

Sharing food with someone you like is a great way to get closer even if you restrict yourself. Wish I could eat as much as her but that’s life for you. I’m hungry now after reading this. Thanks for the translations.

I don't study anything related to health and/or nutrition but like, shouldn't growing boys and girls eat more? Why is he restricting himself so bad?

thanks for translating this oneshot btw!

[Angelonius]

surprised she aint a fatass

She's fat elsewhere.

 

[ARealCoolGuy]

Am I the only one annoyed to hell by the idea of someone hold a greasy piece of fried chicken next to your face constantly, as you try to work out? I'd slap that shit out of their hands so quick.

 

[hiddentheory]

surprised she aint a fatass

She got fat in the right places.

 

[jackjack9]

Now I'm hungry for chicken

 

[Coldlight]

It took me a while to realize the reason behind her disappointment at the end... on p.22 she meant that she wanted to see his face (and reactions) more and expected him to blush, but instead he thought she wanted to see the food more. I thought she just wanted to see him blush and he told her "sure, look at my face all you want... oh and the food looks good" but he was just being the regular dense protagonist.

I'm surprised there was no fuss about indirect kisses or anything, even if they were biting the opposite sides of the chicken. Are romcoms finally moving on from that tired old trope? If so, that's good.

 

[meltworkzz]

I put my belief that i can get 100 ch more for this

Well, yes and no. Whether you're a growing adolescent or not, if you want to build muscle, you can't restrict your calorie consumption too much. You need a daily calorie surplus, otherwise your body thinks you're starving and won't spend precious nutrients on building more muscle mass (which in itself requires a lot of nutrients to maintain). So his whole idea of training to build muscle as well as restricting his calories is kind of flawed. Granted, there's no point in having too large of a calorie surplus, it should just be enough to put your body into muscle-building mode. Also, even if you need a calorie surplus, there's no point in eating unhealthy food with a lot of saturated fat like deep-fried chicken. But, if he controlled his diet properly and ate enough to get that calorie surplus from healthy sources, he wouldn't have any trouble resisting her temptations, because he wouldn't be hungry.

If you want to get shredded, you also need to cut your fat at some point and then you do need to restrict your daily calories down to a deficit, but then you don't build any new muscle, you just maintain the muscle you already built, and you only wanna do that when you actually have significant muscle mass already. The MC in this manga is way too small and skinny for it to be advisable for him to do that yet. It's also probably not a good idea to try while you're still growing (unless you're very overweight, which he clearly isn't).
