Monday I raised my calories to 2641 a day after seeing no more gains. While I love to eat, eating six times a day can seem like a sport in of itself. I’m trying to limit my supps to pre and postworkout meals but I may need to squeez another shake in untill my stomach streaches to accomodate the extra food I will be consuming. I’m looking forward to steping on the scale on monday and see the results. The good news is that I’m hungry again.

I wanted to put on some weight after cutting down to 126.8 Lbs. After raising my calorie intake last week I finally gained some real weight. This morning my weight came in at 132.5 Lbs and my body fat at 10.1%. I gained 3.6 Lbs of LMM and 1.82 Lbs of fat. I will maintain my calorie intake at 2477 for another week to see if my weight continues to go up or evens out. I try to consume no more than 25% of my calories from fat and at the minimum 30% of them from protein, finally 45% of the calories will come from carbs.

I’m 5′6″, 126.8 Lbs @ 9.5% bodyfat. I leaned down to this weight from 134 lbs. by working on my diet. I trained before without proper nutrition and it sucked. Diet is the foundation to build a good exercise program on.
I use a website to track my daily food intake, and it allows me to view the macro nutrient ratio of what I eat. I can also create meals and obtain critical info. like, calorie content, vitamin density, ammino acid composition, g carb, g protein, and g of fat. If you are interested try going to nutritiondata.com.
My cutting diet consisted 1500 Cal/Day 40% C/ 40 %P/ 20 % F. I decided to stop at 127 Lbs, I felt strong but very light.
I followed the 12 Week Transformation Videos with Kris Gethin. Since then I have increased my Calorie intake up to 1900 Cal/Day. With the same Macro Ratio from above.
Its been two weeks and tomorrow I weight myself . Last time my weight came up by .5 lb, interested to see if I go up another .5 lb. If its a minimal increase I will increase my calorie intake up another 300 Cal/Day, and try it for another two weeks.
My Goal is to increase my lean muscle mass, while maintaining a low bodyfat %. If at all possible in the 10% range.
