Mythical "clean bulk"
Hello all! Sooo I'll get right to it. I know calories in vs. calories out determines weight loss or gain, and depending on your macros, those lbs will either be fat or muscle but what is a ballpark range for macro intake to maintain about 8-9% bf while gaining muscle mass. Right now, I am at about a 1.5g of protein per lb…

I need friends who are bulking
Hi! I am considering starting bulking. I'm an 18 year old female - 6'0, weigh 136lbs and I'm apparently 23% body-fat. Last year, I went from 162lbs in 133lbs in a space of about 6 months, so I'm a bit wary about bulking, since I put so much effort into losing weight. However, I've recently started weight training and I now…

"Metabolic Damage"
Just wanted to start a conversation about people's opinions & views on and experiences with "metabolic damage". I put this in parenthesis because I know that this is an arbitrary term and that this "damage" can be "repaired". Over a year and a half ago, I lost about 15 pounds by doing the HCG diet. I felt hopeless, and…

Gaining vs. Maintaining - Which do you find harder?
There's a thread in the "Maintaining" section asking which people find harder...maintaining or losing. Link: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/1214647-is-maintaining-weight-just-as-hard-as-losing-weight So I thought I'd ask those who have gained and are now maintaining the same question. Which do you find easier, and…

How much weight gain f/MFP maintenance intake to increase?
I use the MFP default calorie goal (active setting) as my basis, and I was very surprised this morning that MFP hasn't automatically increased my calorie goal with each pound gained. As I understand it, each pound should increase maintenance by roughly 5 calories. How much weight does one have to gain before MFP's…

Tickets for weight gain?
So obviously there are signature tickers for weight loss, but where are the ones for weight gain? Fitness is not just about losing weight. It can be healthy to gain weight as well. I say that as a 5'11" guy who used to be 130 lbs (now 164 and climbing). So, MFP, what gives?
