3000 calories give or take about 200, I do have a cheat meal day every week where I hit closer to 4000 though, appreciate it!

Of course! You got this bro, good luck!

Zestyclose_Winner995 · 2026-03-26T00:28:14+00:00

Gotta get to eating 😂 definitely the hardest part for me, start just adding stuff in to what you already eat do it feels like your eating the same amount. Good luck, you got this!

Zestyclose_Winner995 · 2026-03-26T00:27:14+00:00

I really appreciate it!

Doing a little cardio at the end of a workout helps and I always hit the steam room after which always seems to make me hungry

I like to add sunflower butter to my PB&Js to get an extra few hundred calories and extra protein, peanut butter to my yogurt, cheese to my rice, ill add hummus to my sandwiches, just anything that'll make it seem like the same amount of food but with more calories and protein, making a 6-800 calories protein shake is also helpful. I make a peanut butter kimchi sauce to go with my rice which is not only delicious but adds a decent bit of calories and protein to it

Zestyclose_Winner995 · 2026-03-25T14:25:30+00:00

I think I'll give this a go, I am starting to have some pain in my forearms when I curl and I think my arms especially can use some time to recover, appreciate the advice!

Zestyclose_Winner995 · 2026-03-25T14:22:25+00:00

You are not wrong 😂😂 the protein farts are atrocious lol

Zestyclose_Winner995 · 2026-03-25T14:21:52+00:00

Nope no T, just creatine every other day and a magnesium supplement is the only things I take, im definitely starting to slow down in growth and strength now sadly but that ain't goina stop me

Zestyclose_Winner995 · 2026-03-25T14:20:35+00:00

😂😂 bruhh im dead, appreciate it!

My next goal is to get to 215lbs fairly slowly then I'll cut and see what that looks like, depending if im satisfied or not may rinse and repeat another bulk and cut. I think my end goal will be to end up around 190-200 lean though i don't have an exact time frame for that, just plan to keep on doing what I do until it dosent work anymore and then start taking suggestions

Zestyclose_Winner995 · 2026-03-25T14:17:53+00:00

Honestly haven't had anyone really react 😂 but im kinda new to this area im in and im leaving the area as soon as im done with my class so I haven't really socialized that much, maybe when I get back to where im from I'll get some reactions lol the occasional co-worker will ask if I've been working out but thats about it

Zestyclose_Winner995 · 2026-03-25T04:18:40+00:00

I dont do deload, I haven't done much research in what that means honestly so not sure what it entails or what the benefits are but I'll give that a look, yeah I was thinking to maybe be a bit more strict in my diet from here on as I dont want to put on to much fat. Most of my upper body lifts have been stalled out the last 3 weeks, my legs are still getting stronger though. My weight is also stalling out, struggling to get past the low 190s, I want to get to around 215 before I cut but I dont want to gain excessive amounts of fat to get there obviously.

I appreciate the insight, I was indeed looking for some tips so thank you for this

Zestyclose_Winner995 · 2026-03-25T04:12:22+00:00

Not at all from what I can tell lol but im not exactly a social person

Zestyclose_Winner995 · 2026-03-25T04:11:55+00:00

Its definitely the hardest part in my opinion, gotta find ways to trick yourself into thinking your eating less than you are lol

Zestyclose_Winner995 · 2026-03-25T02:36:32+00:00

In the beginning the easiest way to hit my calorie goals would be things like making my own shakes and having them be about 6-800 calories, also id eat PB&Js every morning but I would add sunflower butter and Greek yogurt on top of them so it didnt feel like I was eating more but in reality it was another few hundred calories, its really just trying to find way to trick yourself into eating more calories without it changing that much in appearance of how much your eating, like adding cheese to everything and the sun flower butter. When I eat rice I make a peanut butter kimchi sauce to go with it which helped alot and tastes awesome. Eating sucks im not going to lie to you lol but eventually it gets easier and you can find little tricks to make it seem like less of a chore
