For the bloat try eating ginger root capsules at evry meal. Macro69 posted this about 4 weeks ago and it has helped me out big time!!!!! Eating like I do the ginger is awesome. No bloat and no gas. My girlfriend is happy too. LOL

Set alarm clock for the middle of the night. Drink a shake. It will boost your cal and protien intake plus it help keep your stomach streched.

5'9, 179.. up 10lbs in two weeks.. I know, it must be water im not taking anti e's except 10-20 mg of nolva when my nips get itchy.. right now im @ 16% bodyfat on one of those electric scales.

The electronic scales suck...buy a cheap set of calipers.

4k cals isn't too hard. I only eat 3k because I'm more concerned about being ripped than getting huge (we're the same weight). 3 solid meals at 5-600 cals and 3-4 protein shakes brings you up to about 3k...from there you can snack on nuts, trail mix, fruit, etc.

If you aren't too concerned about dietary fat then adding some to your diet will easily push your totals up. I personally don't worry about it...I focus on getting my protein and avoid simple sugars. I let everything else take care of itself.

One quickj note (everyone seesm to be focussing on just the diet).....

You CAN ovetrain while ON. You are enhanced, but NOT superman, so just watch yourself.

That will lower your appetite as well.

That's a good point. What are your workouts? I train the same whether I'm on or off -- about 20 sets/day 4x per week. Anything more than that and you're overtraining. Your body doesn't recover THAT much quicker when you are on. Rest is important.

a nice 1 1/2lb steak is about 1000cals i have a few of those, some whey protein with carbs mixed in, pasta, bagels, potatoes, ice-cream and calories go past 5000cals per day. no rocket science just eating.

nutrient breakdown:

400g protein *4=1600cals
700g carbs *4=2800cals
150g fats *9=1350 cals
TOTAL = 5750CALS PER DAY

protein shakes give me big belly...

I may be an idiot here, but shit, why the hell eat clean?

It seems to me that eating alot of protein, alot of fat, and alot of carbs = alot of calories. Let your body dictate your grease intake, while your energy and strength let you know when to up the protein and carbs. Its not a total sin to throw in a Double Whopper w/cheese every now and then.

Once your cycle is done, then get technical and start cuttin like a mofo.

I think part of the reason your burning out is due to being too scientific with the whole thing. You have set such strict guidelines for your self that you are being coming overwhelmed.
