>be me ending a lnog long cut at high deficit
>want to start lean bulk
>myfitnesspal say maintenance is at 2390 calories a day.
>eat at like 2200 calories for less than a week
>gain 0.700 gram
how long before that shit stabilize?
i'm afraid of getting fat again even if i know i can lose the fat easely.
>>36853629
>ending a cut
>still eating below maintenance
What?
>>36853638
yeah, i was eating like 1500 calories, sometimes less for long, my stomac propably shrinked and i'm disgusted when i eat, but forcing myself.
even got some greek yogurt and peanut butter (not a shity sugared one) but i still wana vomit after every meal...
i'm gonna aim for maintenance by today tho
ive never tought one day i wouldnt be able to eat food as much as i want.
I wish I could bulk on 2,2k senpai
you gained .7 grams? damn that's an accurate scale
>>36853661
Eat more small meals
Eat more calorie dense food
Plan your food for the day the day before and stick to it
Make one of those skellington weight gain shakes if you have too
You obviously were strict enough to cut now apply the same will power to bulking
You can make it if you want to anon
>>36853676
700 grams my bad
but yeah, any idea how much it usualy take for you guys before it stabilize?
first time i bulk
>>36853675

>>36853701
well i'm 6.2 (192cm) for (when i ended my cut) 82.1kg (180.77 lbs) but still 22%bf because skinnyfat.
so yeah, now i need to gain some muscle mass, then i can do a proper cut to maintain as much muscle as possible.
that was my first cut, so i didnt care and just lost at high speed, thats why i have so much a hard time to eat all that now.
>>36853681
i will make it and i want to.
it will take time but i'll get there thanks man
>>36853629

You are 6'3" friend
Your maintenance calories are 2700 off your stats given
If you are 22% bf why did you stop cutting you have a ways to go yet. You might as well get closer to 15% before you bulk or you will feel like shit halfway through and quit your bulk
>>36853629
That's 700 grams of water weight. It's normal to gain a lot of water weight after a cut.
You didn't actually gain 700 grams of fat.
>>36853638
so when you end a cut should start eating maintnance calories immediately? Shouldn't you do reverse dieting and up your calories weekly until reaching maintnece?
>>36853772
i hope you're right anon
i know i'll propably feel bad at some point while bulking, but ive been cuting for like 5 month or 6 or i dont even know anymore, started slowly by stoping sugared drinks, and trash food, and so on untill i start couting calories...
at the end of the cut i was suposed to eat 1500 calories but most of the time was under 1200.
so i thougt maybe its time to stop that.
because with such a high deficit i was losing muscles too, i asume.
hence why i wana bulk then do a proper cut.
>>36853784
was wondering that too
>>36853784
Fuck that shit. Your metabolism should stabilize quickly. All that shit about your metabolism being broken for long periods of time after a cut is utter horse shit; it's broscience at its worst.
>losing fat
>recovering dirty bulker, down to 20% from like 30
>almost look worse because firmer in some places but in other places there is still the same amount of fat as before
does the ride end at 10% bf?
>>36853784
I do this which is a fair bit over the top
>taper to maintenance over a week
>a fortnight at maintenance
>taper up to new calories over a week
You can just jump from what you where at to maintenance
