?? on food and protein

[protobe]

okay now 2 questions #1 I was on 4500cal-5000cal a day for 3 weeks gained about 10-12 pounds!! But the last 4 days or so of the 3rd week I couldn't consume as much for some reason my body just wouldn't have it. Is it cause i was eating a lot b4 and just need a day or so rest on the high cal?? and also does it affect anything not eating 5000 cal if you have been for about 2 weeks??
I gotten better gains by doing two things protein drink b4 and after my work out!!(didn't have one b4 the workout b4)
and every 6 or 8 weeks or so of training hard and eating hard i will take a week or less off and just not worry about my diet and get some fat on and work it off ( works good)of course i can do it cause i'm 15 but i would like to get some responses on the cal and the protein ??thanks a lot

I have found that to make gains, I have to slam protein all day long, almost to the point of being sick.

You need alot of protien, but also carbs and fat, especially when bulking at your age. Don't worry too much about fat because you can burn it off quickly. This doesn't mean eat garbage, but don't be afraid of things like peanut butter, 2 percent milk, eggs, and regular ground beef.

I find that eating a lot of peanuts and sunflower seeds help to gain weith. High in protein and fat but low in carbos. Peanutbutter is also a great way to intake saturated fats and protein but decently low in carbos.
