Okay, I am certainly not a diet guru by any means, but I believe I have diagnosed my problem with NOT gaining any weight - lack of calories appears to me as the culprit.
Currently 6'4", 214lbs - desire to be 225lbs. Eating about 5-6 meals a day. Non workout days - approximately 2400 calories, roughly 30/35/35 f/c/p. workout days - approximately 2800 calories, roughly 30/35/35 f/c/p I lift in the early AM, 1-1:15 minutes, then 20 minutes of cardio (3x - not after legs) Should I up the calories to about 3200 on workout days? All advice/criticism is appreciated. |

No fast food - stomach can't handle it. I cook a lot so, the only "fast food" is Subway, Double Turkey subs on wheat. Other than that, I can't remember the last time I ate real fast food.
Lots of eggs, steaks, chicken, pork chops, turkey sandwiches, frozen veggies, and PB&J is pretty much my diet - not a lot of variety, but easy to cook. |

Im 6'2 and 242lbs i was 248 over the weekend but came down with a bad case of an Allergy attack and has had my appetite all messed up. Im a hard gainer it seems until i have consistency and then no problem.
This is another co sign on the 3000+!! it takes a little time to notice a difference. I frequent subway all the time. Turkey footlongs, no sauce, no oil extra veggies. Somedays ill eat 4 of those sandwiches(B-12 helps). Yes its dry but to the point ya dig? This is half the battle as I have been told so many times by Killer(diet, diet diet-btw where u at?). I would plan a month ahead of time and double that amount(6000)! It takes preparation and some extra dough but well worth it. I did it for 1 month consistently everyday it was the jump start i needed. A good mass gainer along with this could get you poppin too(one with low carbs and low sugar).

Goal Setting

Walnuts, Almonds, ANPB, olive oil, ectI would increase carb intake, without a doubt.... you may 'seem' bloated as the day goes on, but I always wake up pretty lean looking and realize I could drop all the water weight with just a couple days of dieting. So keep your goals in mind and don't let a little water weight stop you. |
