Yeah that sounds about right, but then I certainly do not need the amount of calories you seem to and I dont feel restricted. I could actually eat significantly less than I am currently and not be bothered much.
Really looking forward to adding some serious calories. Id do it now but Im pretty close to being as lean as I would ever want. Maybe another inch off my waist and Ill be done. Im thinking of starting a log when I give Carb Backloading a try for bulking. Are you cutting/gaining or maintaining?

I still think this depends on goals. For Phish who probably wants a recomp/fatloss then Id agree with your idea. If someone had to workout in the morning and was going for muscle gain I would go with Kiefer’s orginal pwo shake with carbs idea. You dont think theres any positive anabolic signalling to be had from filling glycogen stores? [/quote]
Me and carbs are not friends right now…

Drop some bodyfat and backload and this will change. Certainly has for me! I used the anabolic diet for years because I thought it was the only way I could be lean (and I was still no where near lean!) This way works so much better. Last night I had a rice, pineapple, easter eggs, ice cream and pizza, and I am still lean and getting leaner. [/quote]
Im jealous of your meal. Ive been using the anabolic diet as well but with one carb heavy meal twice a week (sunday/wednesday). Ive dropped about 25 lbs in 3 weeks and my strength is still increasing. It is surprising how little carbs I may actually need going forward since I have not really seen a decrease in the gym.

The main thing I didnt like about the anabolic diet is that I dont feel it actually improved my insulin sensitivity at all! Carb loads always made me feel sick on them so I basically didnt ever eat enough on weekends. Never had a surge of strength or size after them either probably because of this. Workouts were always pretty so so.
Using Kiefer’s idea to skip breakfast allowed me to stay a little leaner when bulking on the Anabolic Diet but I always felt pretty miserable. I would always get tired and sleepy after lunch and feel pretty sluggish for ages after. I think you’ll really like Carb Backloading. To me it has the benefits of IF, the Anabolic Diet and Carb Cycling without any of the pitfalls Ive encountered on them.

Gaining as much as I can before med school starts in Aug. I have infinite food right now so i have to take advantage of it. Talked with JM he likes the idea. JM is the man.
And no idea how to multi quoate but i 100% agree that IF combined with CBL is the fastest and easiest way to lean up. Throw in some fasted cardio on off days and even on lifting days if you like and your resutls will be nothing short of stellar IMO
