Greetings to all!
I need a few opinions about my bulking diet, I've been trying to gain weight for the past 4 months. I have done 2 HST cycles. My first cycle went very well, I gained 8-10 pounds but lost like 5 pounds during the next few weeks due to hormonal issues. Second cycle I have only gained 1-2 pounds, such a shame since I feel I wasted 8 weeks of good training.
Background:
Weight: 162, 16-17% BF
Height: 5'7.5"
Been training consecutive for 3 years, 4 months with HST (2 cycles).
Sendentary lifestyle (office job), train 3 times a week for 1 to 1.5 hours.
Proposed bulking diet:
Calories: 2,431
Protein: 187 gr
Fats: 75 gr
Carbs: 252 gr
Breakdown:
On OFF days calories go down a bit (150 less) and fat goes up and carbs go down a bit.
Let me know what you think about this diet, thanks!
BTW I LOVE HST
