Yep. Trying to gain weight and using this to make sure I eat at least 3000 a day!0

lol, I just was instructed to go here by my doctor- I run 10-15 miles or do 90 mins of hardcore spinning, so I am very active. My doctor does not want me dropping any more weight (I'm 140-145, male, 5'10), and I am tracking how much I eat/burn. Do you guys find the calories on this thing accurate? It is telling me to eat ~3500 just to maintain my weight.0

How rapid a bulk are you going for?
1-2 lbs a week is way too fast imo.
2lbs a week is the equivalent of 104lbs a year!!! way over half of that would be fat at that rate.
I am only bulking until the beginning of april, and then I will cut for summer. Ive gained 25 pounds since July 2012 and have maintained a lower body fat so I know it can be done.0 -
bumping because I am interested in learning more - even at my age.0

I am new to here too. Study this:

Your needs are different than most folks on here. IMO, accuracy will be based on the time and effort you put into setting everything up in MFP initially.0 -
OP,
I'm in the same boat. I however discovered this site to lose. I started my cut around February 2012 and I have lost 80lbs and leaned up nicely eating 404020 along with HIIT type cardio.
My maintenance level is right around 2200cal (desk job) so I'm slowly creeping up to around 2400-2450cal over the next couple weeks. I am clean eater so-to-speak. I don't and won't eat "crappy" foods to meet my macros. I'd rather eat 200g of powder (ouch) than eat a pizza to reach my goal.... lol but that's just crazy ole me.0 -
