  • @jdscrubs32 my plan is to eat. But really I've been taking time to get enough calories, most of them healthy, on a daily basis. I workout 4 times most weeks alternating between high weight and low volume (2 weeks), and then low weight high volume (2 weeks). Then I repeat. My first goal was to reach 160 and I'm nearly…

  • Small meals throughout the day. Pack a cooler and bring it to work. (I had to start doing this and it's inconvenient at first). If you don't get breaks then make stuff you can pocket. It's a discipline to slowly train your body to eat more. Sometimes increased activity makes your body generate hunger signals. So try adding…

  • I think the overall surplus over the week is more important that each individual day. But try to be consistent if you can

It helps make sure I'm not "catching up" all day. -1 cup milk -1 packet "carnation breakfast essentials" for flavor/nutrients -1 large banana -1 peanut butter (ranges from 1/4 to 1/3 cup). ^blend together and starts my day…

Over the past year I've learned to treat my stomach like any other body part (it can get injured and it also needs time to heal). My advice is to go slow, start with a very small surplus and see what's offering types of…

    in Gaining while controlling body fat%? Comment by zz0413 June 2015
  • 1st time bulker here too. I started eating around 3,000 calories per day (250-300 surplus) for about 6 weeks. I increased about 9 pounds, however body fat is up about 1-2%. I'm pleased with the gains, but I'm watching the body fat like a hawk now. If it now it goes above 15% for two weeks in a row, I will have to scale…
