I use Stevia myself....but it isn't all that strong of a sweetner.

For me personally and especially when getting ready for summer....I always eat post workout.

Right now with winter coming I have been trying somethings that Mrpb has suggested....see how that goes.

Perhaps.
I have taken a diff approach on my diet. Been averaging 175 as of late.
So gonna see how that will do

I actually think it does benefit gains in a way.
One thing I have done since starting IF myself, was to adopt an approach for my back similar to what Martin suggested on his site.
Using RPT...for a...

These would also be my opinion and view on the issue.
Most important thing is overall calories/macros you eat in the day for whatever your goals are.

Possible yes
Depends on how well the person pays attention to what they eat.

This is true, but OP has not stated one way or the other...
So for me and my post/opinion, I am coming from the stand point of this is a healthy 23 yr old who does not have issues with a lot of...

I agree with the other 2 that posted, that as long as minimums are met, whatever else you like to eat to make up the calories you need to add weight is fine.

But I think (my opinion), 150 gr of...

You may very well be right.....

I have already said I have a weak bench.

I haven't read all the posts in this thread, so I don't know if he is trained or untrained....
If he is untrained, then yes, I would say rare....but again some people are gifted and naturally strong

That was just what I assumed y'all were saying when you were asking him to post video of his sets

And honestly I think my bench is crap.
I can only get 250 for 6 right now. :(

@Mrpb
you deleted your post....
But in answer to what you said,
Yes he could very well be stronger than me....plenty of others are...

I have seen guys at 5'7" in my gym who couldn't weigh more...

50 lb diff between body weight and working weight.
I just don't see 195 @ 145 lbs being impossible.....some people are naturally strong.
I think for me, I am strongest with my back than any other...

I am at 172 - 175 and can get 205 for 10 (sometimes 12)
and 225 for 8 (working to 10 on this one)
So 195 @ 145 lbs is possible.

This would be my view/opinion as well.

If you like doing it fasted then do so, but in the grand scheme of things, your diet will determine if you lose fat or not.

This is what I do.
Take daily weigh ins in the morning, after I use the restroom.
Then average that for the week.

Depends on what "gaining muscle" and "looking good" means to you.

If you can eat what you want and look in the mirror and your progression in the gym is satisfactory, do as you like.

For me,...

So milk. :)

If I recall milk is a about an 80/20 split between whey and casein protein.
With casein being the 80% portion.

FYI
I am 6'1
And for me to put on weight steadily, I have to consume at least 4000 calories daily.
So I doubt that 5K calories is needed at this point for you.

You are better off finding how...
