I am bulking and ate 1800 over maintenance
I am doing a clean bulk and I ate 1800 calories of cookies and ate over everything. My clean bulk is at 2500 calories. So I ate 4300 calories today. What I do now? Do I keep eating at a surplus? My body fat percentage is high because I'm skinny fat and I'm trying not to gain at an alarming rate.

Question about day to day protein consumption
It is well established that people can bank calories and it is more telling to look at weekly calories rather than daily calories. I was wondering if the same concept applied to protein? Lets say that during the week I eat more than enough protein, would it be ok if i was under my protein goal on the weekends? Essentially,…

I was trying to lose about 15-18 lbs, but now that I've lost 12 I've realized the body I want isn't lean but toned. I need help with a plan to gain muscle mass, because I've only ever focused on losing fat. I'm not sure how to change my diet or even if I need to. Any help to get started would be much appreciated!

Micro-Cuts while Bulking?
I know cutting isn't gaining weight, but I'm asking the question in the context of gaining weight. Do you guys advocate it? If so, what's a good target rate for how long? Is it appropriate to knock three pounds off in the middle of a longer bulking cycle?

Well, hell. Need to lose more first.
My initial weight loss goal was 112.4 pounds, partly because it would get me reasonably into the healthy BMI range for my height and partly because that's how much my younger daughter weighed at the time. I'm nearly there, but that weight will leave me a little too high to start bulking. I'll probably need to lose another…

How my weight loss journey landed me in the hospital and how I'm gaining weight
I've been in the hospital for over a week now and put on a refeed program of 4,000+ calories per day. Originally I came into the hospital because I had developed bradycardia (low heart rate) from weight loss and malnutrition. The solution for my low heart rate was to get the nutrients my heart and body desperately needed.…

From weight loss to bulk! (does weight gain scare you?)
I believe many ladies here (in particular) are coming off a cut or weight loss. I myself lost 30kg in 2014. Now i'm currently 158cm, 47 kg. Im not underweight, but i have low bodyfat (below 15%) which can be seen from my vascularity in my arms (although when im not flexing - kinda dangerously low and somewhat unsightly).…

trainers or professional bodybuilders opinion needed
I have read that the body can only produce 2-3 pounds of muscle a month and up to possibly 25 pounds a year? Im sure after 5 years this is still a true proven fact, right?

Any brave bulkers willing to help with visuals?
I would love to see some pre and post bulk pic to help with the mental side of bulking. Also if you would add how long you bulked for and the rate you gained at that would be helpful. It would be most helpful for me to see female bulkers, but men feel free to add as well I'm sure many will find your results and experience…
