I know what you mean about trying to get cals in!! Though I'm not bulking, it's hard for me to get them all in sometimes. Those 154gs of carbs look yummy though!!!

Do you drink a lot of coffee / have a lot of caffeine?

I do not drink coffee, but I do drink green tea throughout the day...though this "not being hungry" thing just started...

I wish I could "only" pack down 1375 cals. I'll be glad to take that not hungry feeling off your hands - I could eat anything in sight on some days. Hope your appetite starts to cooperate soon.

ok, everyone, I have some questions. I've never purposefully gained weight/muscle before, so I don't know how much weight to gain. I don't know when I should stop gaining weight and start cutting. What guideline do I use? OR are they completely based on the goals of the individual?
