To clarify: more interested in peak bulk and peak cut intakes than any transitions in between. Any qualified guesses are still appreciated, though.

Started cutting yesterday. It's kind of a love-hate thing for me. I don't have any real problem with staying full all day, and it's nice to get rid of some fat, but I'll miss some dishes and the...

No. It was to show that the opposite was not scientifically proven. Big difference.




The last one actually did, and you can find a few more studies that do. Yes, most studies show that...

Holy ****balls, you're huge. Nice job!

Yes. But we're talking extreme amounts so you shouldn't have to worry.

Couldn't find any studies about adverse effects directly but I hardly doubt it. Volume increases are negligible (heart weighs half a pound, you can easily have 80 lbs muscle) so there's no problem...

I mean, it's your body. Arms at least should be pretty safe to work, for example. 110% effort squats and deadlifts might not, but I actually don't know.

I have a friend who ripped some stitches in...

I would imagine so. Constipation ftw, amirite?
No seriously, it seems pretty stupid to go all fluids. What's wrong with switching to vegetables, eh?

Spot fat removal isn't possible. If you want to get rid of fat in general, reduce calorie intake (eat less) or spend more calories (train more). Considering your weight though, I wouldn't care too...

What does your doctor say?

RDI also tells us that we shouldn't have more than 0.38 g/lbs of protein per day.

I'm not too fond of the indications that soy may decrease testosterone and increase estrogen.

Did you seriously eat 12 bars for lunch? Dryyyyyyyyy

As been said though, don't worry 'bout the carbs.

Not really, but it's hard to tell unless you post the macros. Your choice of food seems good, though. Just eat enough so that you gain and weight and you should be fine.
I recommended the stickies...

I heard meth do wonders for bodyweight.

Depends on how commited you are. Not-quite-done pasta or rice in a bowl and spoon, and you can easily cram in as many carbs as you need to ;)

Sure doesn't look like 200 lbs if 5'9" is correct. But yeah, if you've gained 50 lbs you could spend a few months getting rid of some of the fat.
Summer's coming up and if you bulk another year...

Read the stickies, especially about nutrition. Consider starting a program, upper/lower or push/pull/legs maybe. You don't need that many isolation exercises if you're just starting out.

EDIT: No...

It's okay. 1.5 g/lbs is overkill though. You'd get as good gains with 1 or just over 1 g/lbs.
