I can barely take in 3,400 so I can't imagine trying to do 4,000. Why so high for Protein?0 -

Barely take 3400? I only take in 2500 and I still gain, a slow 1 lb per month but still a gain. I couldn't imagine 3400 every day!0 -

lol haha yea it's so much easier for me to lose weight than gain weight, I was always skinny although now that I'm 31 it's easier to put on the weight but still takes at least 3,000 a day but that's because I lift like 5 days a week, about 1-1.5 hr long work outs.0 -
I wish I had problems gaining weight..lol2

I get roughly 1000 cals from shakes which helps a lot as for the protein I was aiming for 1.5g per lb which is weoverkill but I'd rather be higher and getting over 4000 calories it's not that hard to get the protein in.0 -
true especially if it's in liquid form!0

Pretty damned close to the same place where I started lifting (5’10”, 150), after spending some years cutting from my FFG level of 265. I’m a year and a half in, and up about 25 lbs. from my start. Our caloric stuff isn’t too different either.
Excellent work thus far. Keep at it, and know there’s at least one other person running the exact same tract.0 -
guns just hit 16" no idea where the were when i started but i still feel small lol

Well I'm sure my words won't matter much, but when I was young I always liked (ok, still do really) real thin men - don't know why, I just do - so I also took those words (whimpy) not to be very kind and hopefully you ignore them because you look wonderful at all those sizes to be honest but all that matters is what YOU want and like, so bravo to you sweetheart

Thanks it's taken me 3 years to come this far and I still feel small unless Iook back at my progress pictures. The toughest part is staying motivated which I had some really good friends to help me out.0 -

I'd just keep maintaining before your bulk, unless you're cool with less food. I like to eat as much as possible. You look good as is.0 -
Great Work Dude! That's awesome. You did a great job bulking up with out gaining too much fat, and honestly your bf% at the start wasn't optimal for bulking, You did a great job. I'm curious about your diet and how you did it.1

Really nice job!!! Great dedication!

I wish I had problems gaining weight..lol
Yeah I'm always amazed at these guys who can eat well over 3000 cal, I look at food and gain weight! I start gaining at around 2500 to 2600 and I'm in the 185 to 190 range. I could easily get to 215 within 6 months eating just under 3000 cals. The good news for me is that even at 44 I can still build muscle mass pretty easy. On the other hand, I'm trying to get to the healthy BMI range which for me would be 175. As I get I older I don't necessarily want to have all of this body weight. Its a serious struggle for me to get lower than 185, I'm around 14% bf right now. We all have our challenges!
Congrats to the OP for meeting your challenge by being able to eat 4000 cals, that's a lot of cooking and eating. A lot of work. Amazing.1 -

That's crazy to me as a woman who maintains on around 2600 cals!1
