    Yup.

    Regular diet? LOL

    My TDEE is 2300 and I eat around 2700 calories/day. Protein, carbs, and fat ;)

    Yup.

    My diet consists of a lot of food. Both in quantity and in variety. Also, beer.

    4000 cals a day. Bulking to gain more strength, then cutting. At 165 lbs only a crappy 250 lb squat.

    I don't know what qualifies as a powerlifter. I'm just trying to get stronger. Diet is mostly meat and fat since I'm diabetic and have to watch the carb intake.

    Diary is open. I am a very novice lifter, with crappy numbers, but enjoying my workouts :smile:

    Yup! I'm a newbie - started in September. I lift 3-4 times per week with a coach. I'd like to enter my first powerlifting meet sometime next year.

    I have pretty basic eating rules
    - Eat 10% under my TDEE (trying to lose bodyfat as well)
    - Focus on whole foods and repeat meals as much as possible (protein shakes and quest bars are my biggest source of processed foods)
    - Eat at least 200 g of protein per day
    - Don't sweat the bad days

    Yes.

    Just started my first bulk. Eating 2700-2800 calories, right now, may need to add more cals. Just making sure I hit my macs.

    Running 531 right now and thinking of competing in a raw event later this year. On a slow bulk at about 3K per day right now.
