A little over a month into eating a massive amount of calories (compared to what I am used too).
I was progressing well, jumped about 5 to 10 lbs already. Between the strength program and the part time job of eating, I thought i was doing well. Then this past week, I dropped a half a pound. (215 to 214.5). I have been using https://legionathletics.com/tools/calorie-calculator/ to calculate my cal, protein, carb and fat goals. I exceed my protein by 20 to 30 daily, the carbs I sometimes fall short, but the total calories are still met and exceeded by 50 to 200 a day. Mid 30s, 6'5". I have noticed a bit of a gut forming from this, but my pants still fit no problem.

I can and do eat entire cakes, tubs of of ice cream. 2 bags of chips ahoy with a burger and fries. My normal cheat meal is a large pizza, pint of ice cream and an entire chocolate cake. Long story short, lost a ton of weight, got divorced. Became a bro again. I was forcefeeding myself to stay at 238 for a powerlifting meet. First one as an adult, was on pace to total elite the first time out. I ended up tearing my tricep tendon a month out. I thought i could eat. I wasnt as good as i thought. Id have to try and eat and meat from the last meal was still in my throat coming up. If i bent over or twisted wrong id projectile vomit and immediately go eat to make up for it. And throw up again bc i don't have a very strong stomach. I was strong as hell, but was listening to way to much rich piana

What are your calorie, protein, carb, and fat goals?
What does your typical day of eating look like? As others have said, that fluctuation isn't that bad. I can vary 5-10 pounds in a week easily, and I methodically track everything that I eat. |

Eat more food. Temporarily adjust your routine in some minor way. New/different movements, higher reps, etc. For two weeks or so.

If I get to a point where I need that much, I'll just cut and maintain a lower BF at the expense of the bulking results. This is why I always laugh when people think they eat a lot. I've always been a light eater that scales with my activity level. My body was just really good at only wanting what it needed. I thought I ate a ton of food. In reality I would wake up, eat some toast and maybe some milk then go to class. Grab a sandwich for lunch and then hit practice, then eat a pretty big supper, usually with seconds, I never ate dessert, and still don't, just never got into the habit. Once I got serious about gaining weight I realized I was eating like 2000-2500 calories most days if I was lucky, with most of that being supper. Learning to regularly eat over 3500 calories was a real struggle for me, because I just wasn't hungry. Now I make it a point to pack a lot of food for lunch just so I can snack my way into lots of calories. I was crawling around under a porch all day laying stone on a column, now that I've learned how to eat I was ready to gorge myself by lunch time. I should probably bulk again, but last time I did I just got too fat. I've been pretty consistently gaining a few pounds a year for the last few years, and that's fine with me. |

Update on your progress?
Don’t stress about half a pound. Don’t be a slave to the scale, it’ll fuck your head up. I have fluctuated 7lbs overnight. Try something simple like once a week, after you wake up, on the same day(Sunday’s for me) What’s the reason for your bulk? What’s your workout like? Any cardio? Heavy, Low reps of compound lifts? I went from 235 to 255 in two months over the winter. Unfortunately it came with some increased bf, but the deadlifts are a whole lot easier now and none of my nice shirts fit

Pushing over 218 now.
Very little cardio, which is killing me a little inside but I cannot literally eat anymore during the day to eat the excess of calories I would burn. Goal is 225 to 230, then cut down to 200 to 205. See how I feel or look then, and reevaluate. |

I had no strength in the gym in the mornings which impacted strength training. Didn't see much fat loss. Best I can tell, I managed to kill my metabolism. I started eating tuna around 6pm every evening and my energy levels came back, strength training improved, muscle growth, still nagging pockets of fat (although they were reduced some). |

Quote HistoryQuoted: We weigh the Sam's and I'm only 6 foot. Just get some icecream. And then eat it. Exactly. I’m 6 foot (it’s really 5’11”) and also weigh 215. At 6’5” you need to come to terms with the fact that you’re going to be 265-275 if you, indeed, want to be big and strong. You don’t get big and strong by eating 3500 calories a day. You get big and strong by squatting and deadlifting and then eating two double cheeseburgers and a milk shake. Get big and strong first, then worry about leaning out. |

I am putting away 210 to 225g of protein a day, over 400 g of carbs and under 100g of fat. Calories are one thing, what type of calories is another. I don't eat a lot of fatty foods, but most food have some kind of fat in it, even if it's small. I'd suggest sitting down and measuring out everything you have eaten in one day and see how it adds up. For example; I never realized how much sodium I had consumed. I kept to Italian dressings for salad and was floored how much sodium was in one serving (2 tbsp). Even bread has a lot of sodium. Normally you want to keep it within 2000 to 3000, depending on your health and family history. I was probably easily pushing 4000 plus. |

You just haven’t been doing this long enough. My wife had some amazing London broil for when I got home. Ate 12 oz of that along with rice and a salad. And that’s after I ate 4 full meals at work. And the breakfast. I also grabbed a sandwich at Dunkin when I got my morning coffee. Close to 350gr of protein today and I’ll probably eat again.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Listen, I bow to your ability to make eating a full time job and not hate it. When I am on shift, it is very, very hard to continue to eat. I literally have to plan my meals around what shift I am working and what kind of activity I might run into. I was looking forward to having a break from eating so much for a bit while I cut, but now with your post... What is your HIIT workout? High intensity interval training. I use a rogue air bike and rower. |

I'll give HIIT.
Goal is 100 burpees in 10 minutes wearing plate carrier and helmet. I do 10 every minute. I'm up to 60 in 6 minutes. I'm going to try 70 next session. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Challenge#2 for the week Make sure you are wearing 20# carrier with steel plates or just one with load out. I just use my steel plates to not have all the shit flopping around. |
