How in the hell can this BE????

honestly. I am sick and fucking tired of reading your posts.

You complain that you can't gain shit for wieght but you do cardio in the AM daily and train with weights 6 x week. if you are going to do that you better be pounding 4500 cals a day back. and even then it just spells overtraining and getting rundown.

cut back to training 3 days a week (5x5 style preferably). and maybe do 30 mins of light cardio on the other days.... for the love of god, listen!

I agree man, if you want to bulk you don't have to eat 100% clean, cheat man! You obviously eat clean the rest of the year and can cut the fat back off. Quit being so addicted to having your abs year round.

it seems like you guys are takin in between 40 and 60 grams of protein with each meal. I thought your body can only digest around 25g at a time. Am i misimformed?

yes. Your food travels through your small instestines for about 10hrs which is where the nutrients are absorbed. your body will digest about all of what you give it.

I know it's hard, trust me, I KNOW. But the only way to make any progess w/ beating it, is just eating. At first I would eat almost only oats as my carb source then as time went on I added different things. i.e. potatoes, rice. Your diet is fine, and if you feel comfortable w/ it, then go ahead. You can tweak adjust and bcome less anal as time goes on. that's what I did any ways. I eat clean all the time, as do you, and if that helps you, then keep on doing it, but you have to start actually eating more, if you want to beat this.

You are trying to bulk, right? 2500 calories working out 6x a week isn't even supposed to hit your daily needs. Can you get it to 3500 calories? That should make you gain some weight. How about on meal 5 you eat 8 oz of red meat instead of egg whites. That would add 500+ calories right there. And do you have something before workout that isn't listed? Maybe a shake and a pemmican bar? That's easily 600 calories there too, while being clean.

Thanks boys......this is the problem with my current diet...It's the one Ive been following for 2 years with maybe an additional 500 cals. Just never knew I was under maintence till I spelled it out..........SO, now that my cardio is down to 3x a week MAX, low intensity (aside from walking the dog), I need to bump the calories - should I keep adding ounces to each meal? Should I have a daily cheat meal? Subway is next door....should I add in a sub daily? You tell me....here's what today looks like:
how would you change up my meals or, add on to them to add on the lean mass.......as of 10:40am, I've had.......

1/2 cup rolled oats
1/2 cup skim
1 cup of egg whites
15 bluebverries (pancakes!)

then I had 1+ cup of dry curd cottage cheese
10 almonds and maybe 6-8 peanuts.........coffee.

for lunch, in a hour+
I got:
5oz yam
5oz cooked chicken breast
huge salad, with all kinds of veggies, some beans, etc......sf jello

then my pretraining meal with be
a can of tuna
some green beans
1/2 cup cooked quinoa (rice), few beans (chilli)

TRAIN

I finish training at 6:15.........would like to get in two meals before bed at 9pm, possible?

if you want to get another two meals then go for it. or just up your amout of sw. potatoes and quinoa earlier in the day and just have a pwo shake and 1 meal. That's up to you. You certainly need more cals tho. I know it feels like when you eat past being full and you're stuffed, you think, oh god, i'm gunna gain fat! you gotta get passed that, if you have that problem, but I know I did.
