A few queries about a first bulk

But I don't want to eat another 800 calories.. :/
I'm on a 3500 calorie bulk phase, have been for the last month. I usually leave work with about 1500 calories remaining for the day. Today, I did even better, and only had about 1300 calories remaining. As I sat down to complete my MFP for the night, I realized that I only had one dinner tonight (vs my usual two).. Now its…

Red letters... Numbers more like

Yes I know to gain weight and not see that red, set your limit higher. However it is more convenient for some people to have it directly…

Bulk - Recomp instead of Bulk - Cut
So, if one eats at a 200 calorie surplus for a period of time until they reach a weight that that 200 surplus then becomes maintenance, wouldn't a cut become unnecessary since your body would start recomping at maintenance given a strict lifting regiment and proper diet? To make sure I'm clear, if I weigh 160 pounds, and…

Should you eat above maintenance on rest days?
I've just started strength training (last week!) and am hoping to put on weight but without putting on too much fat. I don't mind how long it takes, and would prefer to gain slowly if this restricts the amount of fat gain. I'm still trying to get my head around how many calories to eat. I'm 5'3, 105lbs and know my…

1500 Calories Short Yesterday.. Stuff Myself Today??
Due to some unexpected emergency happenings yesterday, I wasn't able to eat much. So, I missed my 3500 calorie goal by 1500 calories. What do you do in this situation? 1) Stuff yourself the next day (5,000 calories) 2) Spread it out over a week or so (4000 calories) 3) Just forget it and get back on the 3500 calorie track?

Concerned about metabolic adaptation
I have seen some thoughts about metabolic adaptation when trying to build muscle. The most common scenario seems to be that the person eats the same amount of carbs everyday, and eventually, their insulin sensitivity decreases due to the steady-state condition. The result is less muscle gain and more fat gain. The solution…
