    I'd taper back a little. To keep fat gains minimal, you generally want to be between .5-1lb.

    @psuLemon Thanks. I've seen some fat gains already.
    What do you think. Knock off 100 cals?

    It may slow down a bit - I gained weight very quickly for the first few weeks,then it slowed down to around 0.5 lbs per week.

    I'd taper down to 2800 +/- 100 calories daily.

    Also, how much have you gained in the passed 2 or 3 weeks?

    @psuLemon about the same average 1lb

    Body fat seems to be hanging pretty low as well.

    Cool. Just checking to see if there were any quick increases due to glycogen or anything. I stand by 2800 ish.

    Just weighed in at 170... of course it's the end of the day too.

    And I might have eaten 1/2 a bag of donuts as well.

    Keep em coming!
    I'm up to 172!
    Eating more loosely than I ever have!
    I have to say I'm shocked. I've put on some fat but not like I thought I would eating "junk" (maybe it's not junk after all) :smile: I'm honestly more surprised of the muscle gain... crazy I tell you, crazy!
