MyFitnessPal......continue to track calories. Guesstimate portion sizes if necessary. A vacation doesn’t have to be a vacation from you goals.

Definitely will be doing that, I've gotten very good at estimating over the years, from tracking for 5+ years.

You know how it is though, there's definitely going to be some meals where it's... "I have no idea what this even is!" :32 (18):

I like to eat different stuff when I'm on vacation, try the local foods. When I went to Puerto Rico, I gained almost 10 POUNDS in a week! That was awesome!!!

So, plans changed. Don't beat me up too bad. Now going to lean out to be supportive of my girl, as she's trying to drop some weight for the summer. She'll never be able to do it if I'm stuffing my face all the time, it's just not helpful to her. I decided to postpone my goal to help her.

Last few weeks...
4/29 189.3lbs-3116 cals
5/6 187.4lbs-3190 cals
5/13 186.2lbs-3093 cals

Weights and/or reps have been going up the last few weeks, feel satiated, no hunger at all. Going to ride out this Cal level as long as making progress, but every 3-5 weeks I'll do a week at higher Cals to coincide with a deload week, in an effort to prevent a plateau.

Back to gaining. The ol' lady tapped out of her diet, so the mini-cut is over.

Upped the Cals 400 per day.
3475 Cal daily average.
398g C
240g P
106g F

Dropped 0.5 lbs to 185.7 average weekly weight, ending 5/20.

Ok, so I tapped out of the weight gain for the summer, it's like fighting the tide, I'm too active those months. It's back on starting in September, going to spent the next two weeks dialing in my maintenance Cals, so I have a good starting point.

It'll be a 12 week run through November, then I'll take December as a maintenance month, then another 3 month period of weight gain until April.

I've updated all my weekly weights and Cals in the 1st post of this thread.

If I ate 4000 calories I would be a tugboat. Age and inactivity outside lifting I guess.
I'm serous you must be delivery/mailman level active.

I had a 3400 Cal snack before bed yesterday. Half gallon of Friendly's Vienna Mocha Chunk ice cream and half a tub of chocolate chip cookies and whole milk. I went Full Piggy Piggy Boy!

Didn't stop moving from 7am to 7pm.

Started early, why wait. Got the initial carb bloat out of the way, up 2.8 lbs for the week. Feeling bloated due to some poor food choices, but I was on vacation, it happens.

Going to start out at 3750 Cals per day, assess in a couple of weeks.

Weekly update:

Eating an average of 4306 Cals for the week resulted in ONLY an average increase in bodyweight of 0.2 lbs, and my weight tapered DOWN as the week went on. Body adjusted and dropped some of the initial bloat from the switch to higher Cals.

5 good training days during the week. Felt great at the gym, weight and/or reps increased on everything across the board. Bodyweight went from 183.3 to 183.5

Going to bump Cals to an average of 4500. I'll do something like 4700 on workout days and 3500 on my 2 rest days, to give my body a chance to catch up to the food, but I won't stress out on hitting that breakdown too accurately.

Tell her you're not a real woman unless you have DD riding high. Then put it in her ass like a real man.
(Did I type that or was I just thinking it?)

Following. Glad to see you back in it, that was a pretty good break. Idc what anybody says, happy wife happy life. Plus being a 200 is goals anyways. If I was 10% bf I'd be lucky to get out of the 180's too.

Earlier you said you were just doing TRT, is that still your plan for getting to 200lbs?
