Is this a starting point or part of a cut or bulk? It helps to know where you're coming from to direct which way to go.

I'm the same weight and height as you but probably closer to 10% bf atm....

Looks like that about sums up the responses you're going to get.

Just for fun I was thinking about what I would eat if I burnt 6k calories a day. I'm thinking peanut butter mixed with ice cream...

Or a second grade math teacher.

This.

You would have to run about 21 miles to burn 3000 calories. Are you doing extreme cardio? If so knock it off. Lift, eat, get big.

If you are burning 6000 calories / day without doing...

Right now eating oats mixed with fat free milk. love dem oats

2g per pound is a lot o protein. I'd have to eat pretty much only chicken, protein powder and yogurt to make that work without getting carried away on calories. I'll start shooting for 200g / day...

Bump back to page one

Been 'bulking' for two months. Feel like I've made little progress. The scale agrees. Progress photo attached and a current back photo for those who like back photos.

Questions:
Is it just me or...

How much weight have you been losing per week at your current deficit?

More fat might help with the fatigue, but so could some carbs before your workout.

Edit: oh nvm you just started the cut

I wouldn't worry about it. I'm no expert but if you don't feel like crap don't worry about not enough fat. I cut counting only calories and protein and had no issues.

Not trying to make it into a huge mystery it just worded poorly on the packaging. I guess it makes sense if you don't assume it is 4 servings x 3oz/serving after cooking, but the label does make it...

I assumed they accounted for that when the label said it was 1 oz less cooked per serving plus 40 calories per serving.

Yeah 16 oz raw. I fully expect that I'm overthinking this but I still want to know how could one use the 220 calories per 3 oz cooked to arrive at the same calorie count as the 180 per 4oz raw.
...

Lol. Exactly. The top of the label says: A 4oz Raw Portion After Roasting to 165 internal temperature. Dats wut I did!

Lol, that's what I'm trying to figure out bro. I'd say I cooked it... but then I'd have to take the cooked calories x 4 = 880 calories, no?

I get the math. My question is why did you pick the raw calories instead of the cooked calories?

And if that's the way to do it how does one achieve cooked calories?

Ate the whole 1lb package of Perdue Fresh Ground Chicken. Cooked it in a skillet with no oil.

How many calories did I eat?

See nutrition label picture. If you come up with an answer then go...

OP I assume what you are saying is you're going to have a cheat day and just want to make sure you still get a good amount of protein. So use whatever powder you want and a bunch of ice cream and...

Just so you realize there is no way more than 8lbs of that weight gain is muscle. Even that is very unlikely. It's more likely that 4lbs of that 25 was muscle and the rest is fat/water. There are a...
