Comments on: Confused weight gain http://www.musclebulletin.com/qna/archives/430 Ask or answer training, nutrition or supplementation questions here Thu, 20 Nov 2008 15:18:38 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.1.2 By: Forby http://www.musclebulletin.com/qna/archives/430#comment-683 Forby Wed, 02 May 2007 22:53:40 +0000 http://www.musclebulletin.com/qna/archives/430#comment-683 Hi, id like to answer all of your questions and queries : ) But first of all, 3800 calories a day and u weigh just over 6 stone?? Well u need to post back and be more specific as to where them calories are coming but u seem to know a fair bit so im guessing thats with balanced meals and high protein with a happy amount of fruit and vegetables?? i hope so....Secondly if u want to bulk a little to see if u like being a bigger size i would recommend doing only 3 sets of 8/10 reps per muscle group, and with failure at the last but not much pain...this will put on size. Not to worry u but i wouldnt do this constantly, for a month at a time? U say u maybe dont want to be much bigger so after a 1/2stone gain, use your enthuisiam to put some reps in like 2 sets of 12/15 on 3 different exercises on a small fast weight to tone up and give u good posture?? and if u dont like the size u have put on?? put the weights down for a month and hit the cardio for a while! I hope this has helped : ) All the very best Forby ps any more detailed advice, please ask Hi, id like to answer all of your questions and

I have been eating out a lot this last couple of weeks because i have been busy and my dad takes me out a lot, and socialising in the sun etc so have been eating things like chicken club sandwiches with fries. I have just started introducing carbs into my diet a again like pasta, fries and bread, as i didnt eat these alot before. I have always had a sweet tooth so i eat alot of icecream, but have always done this, and when i was lossing weight i still ate puddings, but low fat ones, but i always eat icecream after a meal out. My diet previously was fairly religious and predictable, and v healthy most of the time, now like i say i have included carbs here and there now, and i just feel hungrier these days. How many calories should i be eating each day to manitai my weight do you think, if i knkew this at least that would be a starting point. like you say im only 6 stone so it must be a low amount. hope that is more specific.
