Congratulations on getting married! Looks like everything is going well!

The idea you suggested appealed to me for several reasons..but mainly because it will allow a person to eat at a higher calorie level long term. If you hit maintenance at 3500 which I am sure many...

To give an idea like this practical application, you would need to have a good estimate for how many more calories are burned when you add a pound of muscle/fat tissue.

I have seen a few numbers...

I wholeheartedly agree, if someone was willing to do the work of making it, it is much needed in this forum.

I usually just refer everyone that ask about this to Jodi's guide over at ironmagazine....

Just passing on some info from other threads I have seen.

Bloating and gas: ginger root powder and beano
Constipation/hard stools: Docusate sodium
Digestive enzymes: didn't help me much. run a...

Might be running too much. Cut that out and you'll know for sure. Eliminate one possible variable at a time. If the difference is only 2 lbs, it could also be daily water weight fluctuations. I...

Gaining weight is dependent on a caloric suprlus only. It can have very little to do with what specific foods you consume or how much food volume you use each day or each meal. Minimizing the food...

In addition to protein, try consuming something with high amounts of fiber. Soluble fiber works quite well for appetite suppression. Most fiber types can be obtained in bulk supplementally.

I think that if you forgoe the idea of bulking and adding lbm over the long-term, you will likely limit your strength potential. If you are getting 1/2 fat and 1/2 muscle that is not a bad deal at...

If you are really anal about it, just don't ingest the sorbitol when you chew the gum and you'll be fine. I like to combine sf gum and nicotine gum for a nice degree of appetite suppression. The...

Look at the amount of xantham gum that you would be able to physically consume in a day. I don't think it is worth including in your calorie totals. Even with 5t, you would only be getting 50kcals....

Well, it looks like the problem is in the ingredients! I don't think acacia and carob with thicken so much as xantham would. Xantham is listed last meaning there isn't much of it, probably not...

Are you sure you didn't mix it wrong? For me, as little as a 1/2 teaspoon is capable of thickening 1 liter nicely with little else added. It may have clumped up on you.

In a shaker bottle, make...

Try running shorter bulking and cutting cycles so that what fat you do gain you can lose rather quickly. Most people make some mistakes learning how their bodies respond to bulking and that is a...

Thanks for posting this meal plan. This question is often raised on boards all over the net on almost a daily basis. Good to have a workable answer to kickstart a bulker.

I think...

On a normal bulking diet, I have used Nature's Own double fiber bread and La Tortilla factory tortillas smothered in Cary's. You can eat the tortillas by the package and bread by the loaf (800...

Substitute another whole food source of protein for the whey at both times. Whey is notorious for causing bloat and digestive troubles. Also switch out the milk and replace it with another...

Setting up a keto diet isn't rocket science. It can be done with little hassle.

1) Set protein @ 1g/lb

2) Keep carbs under roughly 30g/day (so you get into keto). Try to get these carbs from...

Since you are worried about fat gain, I would increase your protein intake (protein is more thermic) somewhat and decrease your carb intake. Calories may be a bit low, but you can adjust that as...

If you want no hassle, go with tortillas. La Tortilla Factory makes some really good ones that have a badass macronutrient profile. Something like 8 grams protein per tortilla, 2g fat and 5g cho. ...
