gosh darn it y'all..I need a little encouragement. I have trouble gaining weight. I gained about 7 lbs after my first Primo cycle (it was sort of a test run) and was looking muscular and good, and then I went and lost it all when I went on my wedding vacation (3 weeks, not eathing enough, not working out other than recreational activities). I've been diligently upping my calories and of course back in the gym and I have only gained a little less than 2 lbs!! HOw can I lose 7 lbs in 3 weeks without even trying, but then when I TRY to gain it comes on so slow!?!? i realize some of that was proly water weight, but still... Its been almost a month since we've been back! I've got my calories up to 2300 (I've been raising them incrementally by 100/week based on what i htought I was intaking on vacay). I don't want to gain a lot of fat but i know my caloric goal is around 2700. Should I just throw caution to the wind and up it all at once? I eat SUPER clean all the time and always have, so it's super tough. I do not eat bread or pasta and rarely do I eat white potatoes (I eat sweet potatoes on occasion). I could eat a lot of peanut butter etc. but that usually ends up blowing my fat macros. I supplement with protein shakes. Suggestions? Thanks in advance. BTW, I lift 6 days a week, no cardio. I'm 5'10" and (almost) 143. I did my Harris-Benedict and it shows I need around 2700 (that's how I came up with that figure).
