I've been back and forth, not being able to decide whether I should build muscle or lose the remaining fat I have for awhile now. Over the last few months I've gained around 6 lbs, up to around 205 lbs right now eating at around 3000-3500 calories depending on my activity. I'm not sure if that's too much, I don't really know what my maintenance is (probably around 2700-2800)
I plan on "bulking" until the end of May, and then either going to maintenance for awhile, or starting a slow cut until November. Last year I lost a lot of weight, and did include weightlifting but it wasn't steady. I went from 284 lbs to 196 by probably crash dieting. I haven't been serious with it for more than a few months, and while I'm not being impatient I just want to make sure what I'm doing is the right thing to do. I feel like my lifts are still very low, and I'm really not sure if I see my lifts or my physique progressing at all, but I'll be patient and stick with my plan. It's just very back and forth, in general I don't feel like I'm improving my lifts despite eating like this. I push myself to the limit every time, I make sure I will drop the barbell if I do another and so on.
I'm about 204-5 lbs, 20 years old and 6'4. I would estimate 19-20% bodyfat
I cycle to and from the gym 5-6 days a week, about 5 miles a day plus 1-2 hour gym session 5-6 days a week, and I aim to eat 1 lb of protein pr lb of bodyweight, and 0.5 lb of fats.
I'd love to know what some of you other taller guys eat (I know it's most likely not the same, but I'm just curious)
