Question

[xnotoriousx]

After a week of my new diet, the scale didn't move one bit up or down and that's with training hard, would you say this is good or bad?

My goals are on bulking but as lean as all possible, so would you think it's perfect with weight standing still as long as my weight doesn't drop? Or should I think of adding another meal or something?

you shoudl weigh every week.. evaluate every 2 weeks.. start jacking 300-500 cals daily if still not gaining

[xnotoriousx]

Ok cool, i'm really just wondering if your plan was to clean bulks as lean as possible, would gaining no weight be good or bad as long as you're not losing weight?

I'm hitting the gym very hard and very different every 2-3 weeks so I know it has nothing to do with that. Getting better in the gym, just the scale has stopped since starting this new diet.

well it depends on your goals... what is your current intake? whers your PWO meal? throw some whey and waxy in their to up the cals.. play around with the numbers

[xnotoriousx]

lol i forgot all about my pwo

I take in 50g of whey, and 1 cup of oats with blue berries directly post workout, then 1 hour later I eat my last Chicken, yams meal.

(i'm actually eating that right now )

So that's

Goals are to get to 200lb LEAN 8-9% BF and then i'll maintain. I'm not trying to be a competitive bodybuilder, just a guy in superb shape at a comfortable weight.

Right now i'm 195 in the am and 200lbs in the pm and around 13% BF so what do you think? Keep this, or go ahead and up cals in a week if the scale stay idle given my goals? Thanks for the input eat.

[xnotoriousx]

bumpski, help a bro out.

[eatrainrest]

hmm, well its gnna be tough sitting at 13% to get to 8% and 5lbs heavier. but, if your looking to put more bulk on id get to liek 200-210 sitting at liek 14 then cut down.. so you should up food intake 300/500 cals daily or so and only you can tell how much you will have to vary

[xnotoriousx]

just did the math, i'm right at 3,000 cals

I forget the formula, but I bet it would say I need to be right about at 3k.
