oh how the holidays are great for bulking.....went to a Christmas dinner buffet at a restaurant in downtown San Diego. The tip for when your bulking Is eat your plate, then ask for seconds and even thirds....well let's just say I made it to sixths or maybes sevenths lol. This was before dessert! I enjoyed scalloped potatoes, prime rib, pork, artic char, mashed potatoes, cheese and meat boards, salads, orzos, roasted vegetables....and much more. Easily took in 4000+ calories in one meal and had a KILLER workout this morning! I love holiday bulking! Trust me, my everyday diet isn't like this, but it's nice to not have to worry too much around the holidays! How did all you gainers do!?:D

    There was a cookie reception following a Christmas Eve service at my church. It felt good loading up my plate, especially considering I got a good workout in earlier that day.

    Lol, I can't imagine eating that much in one sitting. Is the 4000 calories including liquid calories?

    haha this is great.

    gained only 1kg. :(

    i estimated around 7000 calories on Xmas day. 4200 the day after(i went and trained also)...and 3200 yesterday haha. Back to normal today. probably wont cut down on regular calories :smile: and just let it be. i'm sitting on maintenance at the moment, with some days a small deficit. i'm sure it will even out. haha.

    I'm not weighing in. I went insane for 4 days straight. Cookies, chocolate, roast, lasagne, french toast casserole, meat balls, wine, martinis, enchiladas. Honestly, I'm tempted to deficit for a couple days to even the gains out. I have completely lost my waist. Trying to roll with it.
