Really odd question? Macros?

[OC38]

I need help understanding something my body is doing, I’m not new to working out or eating clean but this is just odd. Once in a great while I’ll treat myself with a burger & coke. Yup big treat but then about 40mins later my muscle bellies are so full the skin hurts. My wife use to tell me it was in my head but I told her to watch and I’ll prove it. Sure enough one coke & double burger and I looked nice and full.

Is there a macro I am missing???

Diet is the normal chicken, turkey, veggies, water, eggs I basically cook up 7 small meals and eat them about every 2-3 hours depending on what is going on with work. Plus muscle milk in the bottle when I simply cannot get a moment to eat.

I do not use any sups beyond simple over the counter pre-workout.
Though starting to eye ball some of the things here in the forums.

I’m 6ft1, 230, 37 years old. Bf 13% lower than that & I feel like garbage. (I’m doing this for me, not to feel like garbage.) Yes I'm that guy who has learned by trial and lots of ERROR's.
Thanks for any ideas.

Not totally sure what your question is. You mean you look fuller and bigger/more lean after a burg and a coke?

I can see that, if your drinking regular (sugar) coke and a big ass fast food burger.

Think about it. You're normally eating lean meat, low sugar, etc. Then you "cheat" on these food items.

Bodies are weird. I look more ripped up than ever the morning after a heavy night of drinking, cuz I'm dehydrated as hell Look good in the mirror tho

Maybe the caffein from the soda and the crazy amount of carbs. Give you a nice Fuller possibly a tad more vascular look

Be from depleted glycogen in the muscles from 6 days of clean dieting, ur body is just shuttling those carbs and fats dont worry man its a good thing..think about bb competitors and right after the show they down like 12 donuts and a pizza and boom they blow up and look fuller and more vascular than wat they wer on stage

True story!! My buddy who I compete with will always eat a Snickers bar about 10 min before he gets on stage

Thanks, that is a logical answer. Depleted glycogen levels, funny I couldn't think of that.
