yep purely for my own accountabilty
I think it’s a bad sign that you used the word “accountability”
I’m always happy to talk training. It’s an iterative learning process

It’s worth taking into consideration that I started as a pretty meaty guy, so I was already eating a good amount just to maintain, so now I had to eat more food to accommodate for the added training and THEN eat more on TOP of that to gain the weight.
It was a LOT of eating, and not all of it clean.

I just had shy of a kilo of food. Clean, but I’m still hungry. 1100 calories.

I take it you didn’t rely on mushrooms, spinach, and liver either?
Primarily focused on steak and nachos, to get my essential amiño acids.

The novelty wears off SUPER quick when you are doing it just to recover.
I have been voraciously hungry and I have forced myself to eat past the point of fullness and, given the choice, will always pick the former.

you’d be surprised at how much whipped cream I’ve had over the past week 
I wouldn’t be surprised at all, because whipped cream is stuff people on a diet eat as a fake dessert. I used it a lot when cutting weight.
Put it on an ice cream sundae and then you are getting closer to the mark.

really?
Yup. Atkins friendly. Usually with some sugar free jello too.

I find that being hungry (to a certain extent) greatly improves mental clarity

WTF? When I am hungry I get angry. Hangry to be exact. I can’t think straight because all I am thinking about is food.

Yep! I didn’t go as far as Tate and the pizza. But I don’t stop until I finish what I have put on my plate. Ugh. I am within two lbs of my goal. Almost there!

For me it depends on duration. Over a period of weeks, I’d also take hunger over painful eating. As a one off I’ll take the 10k calories.
Yeah, I am meaning more as a methodology/lifestyle.
I’ve never done long term moderate surplus, but I couldn’t do my comp refeeds with any regularity.
No one want to be close to me when I am hungry. And I no way I can think clearly.
The only way I can live while being hungry is to be so busy, that I can’t think about food and forget to eat.
Once I learn to slow the f**k down, my weight problem fixed itself.
