Like I said before, if I up my caloric intake AT ALL, I immediately gain weight, and fat weight, not muscle weight.
I've went from maxing 45 pounds on benchpress to maxing 225 on 1500-1800 per day.
A lady at work with a nutrition degree and background had me eat a lot of protein, 6 meals a day, around 2500 cals per day, back when I was going to the gym at work AND after work, and my pants stopped fitting around my waist, my face got fat, my love handles and gut expanded, I plain and simple started to get fat. I tried 2000 and the same shit was happening. My body won't take more than 1500-1800 per day or I start gaining fat.
And yes I realize that this is probably holding me back on the weights, but I'd rather stay low on fat and weight than get stronger and fatter.
