I've been doing 2 lifting sessions a few days this week for about 2 hours long. I was just really hungry and just ate the whole carton of cookies.

250-300 over maintenance

Well I ate over my clean bulk calories. Which is 2500

I'm not in a deficit. I've been eating at maintenance

I've been eating at maintenance for 2 months

If you do not plan on doing low carb for the rest of your life then stop now. No need to do a fad diet. A calorie deficit with balanced macros will do you well.

Your body metabolizes food 24 hours a day. It doesnt matter what time you eat.

Sir, its time to log off.

Fleek!

So please explain how he got fat in the first place if he doesn't eat?

I'm a paramedic in Virginia

Thanks guys, i just wanted to make sure i wasn't over doing it.

You look absolutely amazing, WOW!

I dont take it on the weekend. I was saying that i take creatine mon-fri but i still eat high sodium on the weekend which both causes water retention. How often should i measure and take pics?

Well it kind of would be the same since i take creatine mon-fri which causes water retention. But i will try that just to see how my weight fluctuates.

Im so happy you are that focused on someone else to know what he wears everyday.

So they aren't serious because they don't have on sweats and a tank like you? You don't know their situation at all.

Stop judging people. Let them wear what they want.

Yes i lift heavy right now i have a program i found on bodybuilding.com Now when you say take measurements, Am i looking for a gain or a loss in inches?

Thanks for the information!

Also can someone please explain this refeed thing? Do i need to do this?

Ah ok..so i will aim for about 5 months then

I love running, not using it as a buffer at all. I have a program already that im doing now but i have others that i plan on doing as well. I have a rest day on sunday and a lightly active rest day on Saturday, that is not enough?

3k for a female kind of is lol. I just thought you had to up for carbs and protein and keep fats low? I just want to do this the right way. Although i will be gaining some fat, will it be noticeable?

Im not in a rush, i just wanted to know if it was possible to do so while being fairly active. I will try it out for a few weeks to see how things are going and then i will determine if i should cut back on running. Thanks!

Ok thanks! is 2 weeks long enough to see if this is working or not? How long should i bulk for?

Even if i were to eat alot more? Its already a slow process for a female lol

Right now my macros are at 40% carbs 25% protein and 35% fats but i mostly eat up to 30% protein a day. So what should my macros be? As i mentioned in the reply above, if i keep running and try to bulk, im looking at close to 3,000 calories. I am scared to eat that much. I just dont want to get huge lol.

That was if i was to stop running. If i add in running im looking at almost 3,000 calories a day. The calculator says 2979 for a clean bulk at 5-7 hours of strenuous exercise a week. I run 3-4 times a week. If i were to eat t maintenance to try to gain muscle it would be 2729 with running.

Oh gosh..let that post die already lol
