OK - You win...........

I'm interested in seeing what your calorie count comes out to. I highly doubt you're anywhere near 3,000 but I could be wrong.

me too. If you take out the MRP and bar, it almost looks like my current cutting diet!

Dude, just eat. You gotta make a strict decision, do you want to bulk up or do you want to stay the same weight? Remember, you can always lose the fat later, but its the necessary evil when bulking. It's hard to get into that mindset, but its something you gotta do if you want to add some serious weight onto your build. Drop the cardio to at most 2 times a week.

^^^exactly- dude you better be eating piles of food if you ever want to see 240 again... you are eating too many shakes and not enough real food- stop worrying about carbs and cardio and crap and just start stuffing your face and adjust ratios/calories as needed... like they said- I doubt you are even at 3000cals - you need to be near 5-6000

To bump what Becoming said, one of the most valuable lessons I learned in the past year was replacing protein shakes with high-quality protein foods. I never thought it would make a difference but it really does. You need to get creative if you're at work for the majority of the day, but it's def crucial

This is your bulking diet?

 

[Tom Treutlein]

Booey, what changes did you see, switching from protein shakes to solid foods?

 

[JKurz1]

This is your bulking diet?

relax...no it's not my bulking diet...its my current diet to get me through the busy season.....scale hasnt moved in 3 months, so I'm guessing it's my maintenance.......thanks to everyone else for your honest replies and it really will help.....I need to cut back on the cardio, or maybe go a little less intense and eat, eat........as for the shakes? I 100% believe that EVERYONE should have a minimum of 2 shakes a day.........both are crucial times......post-workout and before bed.....I toss in an MRP in the morning because it's fast.....and I'm working..........so, I dont think that's my downfall....it's the rest of the diet, prob. coupled with the overtraining. Can't even tell you the last time I didn't break a sweat in a day.....years..........

If i can make 1 suggestion.

I'd drop the cardio down abit, 2 times a week is plenty, especially since your bulking. I tried the bulking phase with 4-5 cardio sessions a week and really didn't gain jack. After i stopped doing cardio everything started to come together, and i was like you, didn't do much activity during the day(lame job)

Like the others said, just eat, you can always loose the weight, keep it clean and fat will be low.

I wish you all the best, keep us updated
