Reverse Cheat.

[Receiver84]

So I have been eating to bulk lately....as much as I can muster over the course of a day and have sort of hit a platuea in weight gain. I'm 6' 1" 216lbs. Started out at 207lbs 9-10 weeks ago. I have been slowly hedging up my calories each week to the point where I am having real trouble eating any more. It's becoming the hardest part of my day, even harding the working out and all. I am 100% stuffed all day. My meals are

7am

1.5cups oats, 1/2 cups rainsons, 6 eggs (1 yoke)

9am

2 large potatos, Chicken Breat, 1 cup green beans

11:15am

Whey protein shake, large apple

Workout

1PM

2 large baked potatos chicken breast and beans as above

3PM

Chicken Breast, 1 cup bean, 2 heaping tablespoons of natty PB

5PM

Lean meat, veggies of some type, and a clean carb

7:30PM

1.5 cups oats, 1/2 cup raisons, 6 eggs (one yolk)

10PM

1 Cup low fat cottage Cheese & a peice fruit.

My Harris Benedict Formula calories are about 2800 so I feel like i should be gaining wait. It all works out to about 3500 calories give or take a 100 during the day. I am having serious trouble eating more and have jsut stopped gaining so I feel like i need more calories (or less, see below). Are there any foods that I could toss in that would pack higher calories while not feeling like I am going to explode inside. Bulking is tough!!

So after all that. Is there any relavance to a reverse cheat where I go a few days without eating as much and then blast myself with food???

NOOOOOO! Do a get big day man. 5,000 calories. I did it every 10 days when i was bulking, and i was about 190lb or so. Lots of carbs, just go off, lots of everything, keep it clean tho. You can do it man, throw in a few shakes if you have to. Do it on back or leg day. Its painful by the time 11pm or so rolls around but it will def help you grow.

why would you eat 1.5 cup of oats in one meal. thats about 80g carbs. and in others only like 45g

I'm eating what I can stuff in and not trying to keep it all the same.

you SHOULD keep it all the same from what i understand... and 80g of carbs in one meal is A LOT... i'd spread it over two at least... ask nark, whatever he says seems to be the gospel.. lol

Props to you and your progress, I know how you feel. Sometimes I feel not eating is like a reverse cheat meal!
