3,000+ calories.....

[Joe Stenson]

If you need to add more cals eat all natural peanut butter. I have people do this all the time.

Bingo. Various oils (olive, flax, etc.) work too (in terms of easiness to chow down), but don't taste nearly as good.

ok...but I find I'm the hungriest before bed cause I train around 4-5pm....have a thick shake, maybe a 2nd shake or a small meal, then I get friggn hungry.......but I always refrain...should I not worry about some cc and peanut butter or nuts or popcorn right before bed? Snack all night? Or will this = fat gain.....

you guys are right......there just needs to be a simple equation.......what is I was going to have 6 meals a day. Would it not make sense to just take in 50g of carbs 50g or protein, and 10g of fat in every meal except post workout (75 carbs and not fat) and prebed, 10 carbs and 20g of fats.....fuck the sep. fat/carbs/etc.....thats great for cutting, but I think many bros get big jacked and lean without it.....and ditch the am cardio. THen on my one off day, switch to more fat/protein meals.

Kosher?

What are the ratios for bulking? (carbs to cals) etc...

Aaahhhh, a good post. You are learning bro. That Beardi stuff works well for dieting. The reason it works, and I do it pre contest is simply that it is a way of depriving you of calories easier.

Besides, if you are a bb eating 6-7 meals per day, chances are good that your last meal may not be digested anyway.

If you look at the references cited in these arguments, every study suggesting that macro composition matters is looking at different protein intakes, with higher being better. Duh! People on high-protein always tend to eat less. So do people who reduce carbs or switch to lower gi foods. Early low-fat studies found the same: take out a calorically dense food and people eat less. It is easy to interpret some metabolic advantage but what is actually going on is that dietary changes make people eat less automatically(i.e...not mixing carbs and fats).

Blowing up is good right?

Just think this out for a second, if your growing on 3,000 calories - imagine what would happen by adding 1,000 more clean calories.

If your "growing" off of barely 3,000 calories then you are very blessed or lucky. Do you plan on cyclying non-stop year round. Do you want to grow when your off juice?

MORE CALORIES = BIGGER MUSCLES. Very simple equation.

Good point. But my problem is if i ate 3400-3500 cals i would gain a considerable amount of fat..i tend to gain weight very easy...and im mean very easy...but i can see your point...

Yeah, it is very important to identify your markers, that is metabolic rate, etc. We are all so different. Evidence the guy who begins the same size as you, eats an identical amount of calories and grows like a weed, with lttle fat gain.

While you do not grow at all, or gain predominately fat. Some folks for instance are a bit more carb intolerant, while others can eat tons of them. Diet is universal, yet individualistic.

Knowing your body is essential for you to make the gains you desire.

So How Did Ou Beat It?

Well after realizing what I had and after going to the doctor, who said i need to gain weight or would put me in a hospital. I read online what it's like and I am a very independent person, so i was determined to gain weight. Was hard at first but I made myself it. It's still hard, mentally, sometimes, but I look at how weak I am and it makes me want to gain weight and get big.

Your diet is fine. If you don't just go ahead at start w/ it, nothing will happen. And if you've already started your cycle you may just be wasting your money
