Hi Guys,
I've spent the last three years experimenting with nutrition and training and improving my habits slowly but surely. At the point now it's a running joke in the office about my planned meals and macros :-) As I've grown from 160lbs to 190lbs I've had to steadily eat more. Man, I was scared that the extra calories would just make me fat! But a good diet didn't.
I've been eating ~ 3200-3500cal/day with a strong training routine. With so many carbs I definitely look/feel "full" but that's OK, I know it's not fat.
I want to see what 200lbs and fit looks like, and thinking of upping it up to 3800-4000 calories with a 40/40/20 split (carbs/protein/fat).
But - nervous! This seems like an insane amount of food and shakes.
I suppose I can just keep an eye and if it starts to go south (as in fat) back off and fix it, but still nervous!
Anybody else been through this?
