anyone else on here using MFP for the purpose of tracking calories and macros, to gain weight? specifically bulking in regards to weight training?

    nice man!

    at the monemt im going all out, with about 4500 cal a day. and for all intents and purposes, fat gain isnt a factor what so ever :)

    its tough sometimes to get motivated to eat this much!

    I wish I did this back when I was younger.
    I'm prone to water retention now but when I was in highschool I could eat just about anything.
    You look like you are already in good shape.
    Whats goal?

    Carbs seem to make me hungry, which helps.

    I just did my first full week of bulking to support muscle gain, eating over 2900 cals a day. Going to gym 5 times a week with 12 miles of biking (there and back) to work each day too. 2900 seems like a fair amount to eat to me, let alone 4500! That must be hard work.
