600 cal shake 3 hours before bed
I asked this question before, but my app closed before i could see it. My total calorie goals to gain 1 pound weekly are 2400, but i'm having a hard time reaching it. Does having a high calorie shake 3 hours before sleep a good idea? Just to note, i do not care too much about fat gains as i have so little body fat, i have…

Going over on fats?
My fat goal is 20% of my daily calories, which is friggin hard to hit. But the fats that I'm typically going over on is poly and monounsaturated. What happens to the excess fats? Since they're both healthy fats, I can't imagine that they're going to turn into fat overnight. What's up?

Eating excess fat while bulking
I was just wondering if anyone knew if eating a high percentage of fat while trying to gain muscle mass would cause someone to put on more body fat? I know eating fat does not cause fat. However while eating a caloric surplus (about 200-400 calories extra a day) would a high percentage of dietary fat increase fat storage…

Silly question about uneaten calories
Firstly, I never thought that gaining weight would be harder than losing weight, turns out I was wrong. So on to the question, when losing weight it was all about the deficit over say a week, so long as my weekly deficit was equal to the amount needed to lose 1lb, it didn't really matter if you were doing 5:2 style, or…

I've been bulking for the last 6 months, and have put on 10lbs. I've noticed some nice muscular development, and I can still see my upper abs when I flex, but the fat gain around my lower abs and side obliques is bothering me a bit. Originally I wanted to go for 20lbs of total gain, followed by a cut, but I fear that…
