I have found it best not to depend on the scale. Go by how your cloths are feeling. Are those jeans that were a little snug fitting better? Is that shirt a bit more comfortable? That’s probably your best indicator. You said you’re working out, im guessing some weights and cardio? Chances you are building muscle. Muscle weights more than fat.

I weigh myself once a week just as a guide line.

Amen to that acconrad.

A clean bulk is what you need. It can be tough but just eat more of the right food. This will also help reduce fat gain, even though that is inevitatble but can be somewhat controlled. Double up at breakfast and lunch to get those extra cals. Breakfast should be your biggest meal. Make sure you have a good PWO shake. Try a good night time/pre-bed snack (some cottage cheese and a PB sandwich). Take the time to input what you eat into Gyminee and you might have a better understanding.

I kind of agree with jim. It wont kill you but everyone is different. Go and do what you can, just get your blood flowing. Even if you stay home and do some bodyweight work.

What’s your diet look like. That is the likely culprit.

Topic: Fitness and Exercise / Plateaus

I am looking to gain some muscle and Gyminee has me around 4,000 calories, which compaired to other sites is about right.
Does anyone else need to have this high of an intake?
If so what the HELL are you eating because I can’t seem to eat enough and im going crazy!!!

i love skinny cloths!

Susan, wouldn’t you say 2k-22k cals is a bit low for a male? He wont have enough energy to complete his workouts to the best of his ability.

Thats just my 2 cents.

It’s tough. I’m already a peanut butter addict and cook everything with olive oil. I eat nuts often.

Well, I’ll see how it goes. Maybe eat some extra eggs for breakfast, some extra chicken during lunch.

Yea i cook often for myself and I eat well. I am used to eat for fatloss. I workout in the a.m. so I try to eat a big breakfast but I will up my PWO shake and start adding bit by bit.

Looking forward to the recipes. I am always looking for new things to try!

Topic: Diet and Nutrition / Green Tea

definitly keep the whey. It is fast absorbing and best for pre and post workout but since you are going to bed after have some cottage cheese with it or purchase Casien protien powder (the same type of protien that is in Cottage cheese). It is absorbed slower than whey is best before bed.

I’d say my mid and lower traps or rear delts.

My legs are becoming more defined which i like.
