    that's the workout I want 4000 cal? I'm in the gym lifting twice a day and run at least 45 min and I only burn about 1000 cals. are you sure you counted right 4000?

    Whooly doot! I manage to burn between 1100-1500 at the club 4-5 days a week, then later on try to fond some way to burn another 1000. But yeah, amazing how much a glass of even 2% milk can bring up the caloric intake. that, and a couple of tablespoons of peanut butter. I still try to avoid sweets, but abso luv fresh fruit! And right now, in my corner of the planet, we have the bestest blackberries coming in, yum :tongue: So.. today I bought 8 pints, and some vodka, and will make a gallon of bounce. It'll be ready for Thanksgiving, one of my family's traditions. And a great little warmer upper for a chilly evening too :drinker:

    I walk around at work for 6+ hours every day and that helps alot not to mention putting freight away climbing up and down ladders. Than my 2+ miles running every day than the eliptical and bicycle. Than my weights and I just added squats and those hurt lol.

    im with ya. it is very hard with my schedule to want to eat at all. i dont think i ever come close to meeting the calories, but know i will eventually have too really try to find away. your rite squats hurt but are definately a much needed evil when putting on size and strength. squats will help make every part of your body want to pack on muscle.

    You can up your calories by eating more good fats. Try cooking your food in a little canola or olive oil, or else eating your salads with a little more full fat oil and vinegar type salad dressing. Snacking on nuts and seeds will give you more calories without bumping your saturated fats through the roof. Good luck!

    Just eat what's right for you...as long as you ate healthy and feel satisfied then listen to your body...not the website!
