well my diet is a little outta whack right now, im trying to bulk.. but my diet is better if i was cutting... i weighed 255 dropped to 235 and then decided i need to bulk more, my weight has went up 5lbs and i havent changed my diet... i guess im trying to find someway to not gain back all my fat and instead build muscle to get heavyier, ive worked out about 2 weeks now, started taking protein and no-explode about a week ago.. currently weigh inat 246lbs... hopefully ill learn more about how to do this and set myself up a diet thats more planned.. I started my diet by just cutting back and then i started taking fat burners.. my weight is going up but i dont feel or look like im gaining anymore fat.. should i keep my diet going like it is until i stop gaining?

you gained 11 pounds in 2 weeks? a lot of people would be really jealous of those numbers, how much of it has been muscle? do you know your body fat %? that is a great way to keep track of what you are gaining muscle or fat

Add some carbs and you should be good. Or get more sleep.

Well, i was doing alot of cardio.. 2 or 3x a day and i dropped my weight down really fast, so far it hasnt gone back up, i look leaner and feel a whole hell of alot leaner and more energized, all around better to be honest. I had to stop the cardio because i got shin splints.. they are just now gettin better, i can walk and do light cardio, but havent been able to run. which is fine for my bulk stage.. i dunno if its 11lbs of muscle, but i honestly dont know where the fat is going if any of it was fat.. havent gained much fat at all thats visible anyways? Anyways thanks for the replies i appreciate feedback, keep it coming

**1Broken** · 04-13-2006, 07:21 AM

I have never gotten sleepy off of protien before. A lot of food yeah but not protien.

**1Broken** · 04-13-2006, 08:16 AM

Yea, it doesnt make me tired xcept in the mornin, for about an hour then im back to normal. I just recently started taking protein and it makes me feel a whole lot better in general. But im going to try and get another hour of sleep or so and eat some better food in the morning. I take 2 Ripped Fuel Extremes with my protein in the mornin... could there be something goin on with that?
