I'm trying to get at least a few hundred cal over my TDEE. I haven't really been tracking much but I eat a lot of the same things during the week so I'm able to gauge fairly well. I'm pretty accurate with protein though as most of that is coming from shakes so it's easy to keep track. The scale is going up slowly so I'm happy. How about you guys?

    Nah, all good coach :) For someone who i often disagree with, I have to admit you're always calm and collected. You never resort to petty name calling even in the face of undeniable logic. ;)

    Yessireeee, you're not the only one. Due to boards like this I lost too much weight I guess. People were getting worried about me being underweight so now I'm eating over my DRI of calories and trying to gain weight. I agree with the above post though; most people who use these boards are all trying to drop weight. You might want to find another online community for better support. These people hear that you're eating over your DRI of calories and they probably have T.I.A's hahahaha

    Depending on what time of the year it is, I'm either trying to gain or lose. I am a figure competitor and just went through an off-season bulk. I've been cutting again for the last 10 weeks, but starting at the beginning of June I'll do a mini-bulk going into the fall season.

    Awesome! I'm not really here for the support though. I originally came here just for the tracking tools but when I realized how much misinformation was circulating the forums I stuck around to try and help. I was just curious to see how many people were trying to gain and how it was working out for them. I know there aren't that many!

    Yep, I am, too.

    Problem with MFP is it doesn't announce gain success, only losses - ages back I dropped a lb (water weight, most likely) and I posted it and bam, there it was for everyone to "congratulate" me on. Bleh.
