in Goal: Gaining Weight and Body Building
Hey everyone,

I recently did a cut and got to a level where I was happy with and then I decided to bulk, I started off at 67.8 kg and I was eating about 2650 cals for 2 weeks and it seems that I gained to about 69 kg then 2 weeks from their I started losing weight and going back down and went down to literally the weight I started at which is 67.8 kg and now I have upped my calories to about 3000 a day and it's my 4th week of bulk , should I continue eating this amount or lower it abit ?

    keep eating more until you are gaining at a consistent number, i.e. half pound or pound per week ...

    Keep in mind that your body will still have natural fluctuations. Looking at weight trends over a 4 week period is more important then the weekly adjustments.

    It's going to take about four weeks for things to even out....

    I increase my calories to 3250. In twelve weeks I've gained just under one stone in weight. Don't dismay, I still kept losing the first few weeks. I'm averaging an increase of 1LB a week now.. although it maybe time to increase mine even more as it seems to have plateaued again. I just don't want to add too much fat, so I'm still eating healthily, so I think I'll struggle to increase my calories much more. Good luck with it

    Yeah it seems like my weight is going up, checked the scale today and im up to 69.1 kg , im still eating 3000 calories and making sure on getting all my macros and everything, i think i just need to be patience and dont rush it as i wanna gain pure muscles and not much fat.
