    Blah. I did so horribly that even though I'm bulking, I have to eat in a deficit for a few days cause I don't wanna be gaining like mad

    And I weighed 1.4 pounds less this morning than on Thanksgiving morning.

    Should I eat even more today, stay the same, or cut back?

    Shoot for a minimum of 12,000. At your current level you are probably deficient in protein to prevent you from losing LBM. Don't let the naysayers or science convince you otherwise.


    Robert, you always bring such a decisive brand of wisdom to these conundrums!

    I wouldn't know where to begin with logging Thanksgiving feast(s). Kudos to you, sir.

    I weighed less this morning than Thanksgiving morning. Fluctuations or not, now I feel like I slacked a little bit.

    Dang, are you sure you logged accurately? That's a little hard to believe, but good for you! xD
    I recall hearing somewhere that it takes several days for your body to reflect an accurate number as it takes time to process the food, but I mean, I'd think that'd be for weight gain/water retention, not loss.
    I would just listen to your hunger cues and what your body wants. For the most part, our bodies know when we need more calories and when we've had enough. Congratulations for not gaining a ton!

    My maintenance is around 4000. I'd know I was very substantially above that without logging a thing. Half of a chocolate pie, on top of everything else, would see to that.

    If my body knew when I'd had enough calories, I doubt I'd have ended up as Obese Class II, though.

    Holy hell, here I am smug about my 2500 maintenance as a runner. Anyone have any "cleanses" that'll increase my height?

    Or one that'll allow me to get a runner's high instead of a runner's desire just to be back home on the floor.

    I heard from some MFPer that if you eat a lot at once, it negates some of the calories because your body can't process them before they reach the end of your tract. If you did this successfully, you will have pooed an entire drumstick. Also, corn doesn't count, because, you know...
