Im pulling the plug next week on the reverse diet phase. Switching to maintenance. App upped my cals slightly again. GETTING TIRED OF THE FOOD VOLUME! Yeah I know … cry me a river.

How many cals does it have you at now?

That’s a lot of cals. I can see why you are wanting to maintain for awhile. If for anything, your grocery bill.

Well the bill isnt extreme… its mostly the food volume thats starting to burn me out. Its not like im eating 100% clean but im not eat eating a bunch of junk either. But even then its still allot of volume.

Like I mentioned in a older previous post guys talking about how hard it is for them to eat over 2.5k in trying to gain weight is comical to me.

Switched to maintenance level on calories today.

2 big wins in a row!

Probably will be at least one cycle before I go over 60% on squats and trap bar and even then I will be playing it by ear.

Oddly I should have switched to maintenance level , when the app had suggested like 2 weeks ago.
