How Much Do You Eat?

I thought it would be interesting for everyone to share how much they are eating and their macronutrient proportions what with all the bulking discussions nowadays. Do include your height and weight too for comparisons.

Roughly 3500kcals:
250g protein
450g carb
70g fat

Height: 5’6
weight: 154 lbs

I don’t count calories. I would say before my little stomach virus episode. On most days I was probably getting 4000 cals or more a day. I tend to eat pretty high carbs, and protein and moderate fat. I don’t do well with low carbs for strength gains.

When I recently did a little figuring, my bottom numbers (on the days I don’t add in things) were about 3600/3700 cals,… I figure on average I’ve been getting 4000 cals a day, over 300 prot, and over 250/300g carbs (with the whole Anaconda protocol figured in)

S

265 / 77 / 211 = 2600 non training days
Training days = 3000 (Carbs + whey)

5`9 189lb
Very Slowly gaining weight.

I started out with 10 scrambled eggs (a little milk and butter), a small potato, and a 2 scoop protein shake for drinky.

Will report back after 2nd breakfast.

On training days I take in approx. 4600 calories spread out through 6-7 meals throughout the day.
411g protein
450g carbs
133g fat

Non-training days I take in about 3800 calories in five meals.
370g protein
240g carbs
170g fat

6’2" 270 lbs

Just coming off of a fat loss phase, was following:

1500kcal or around a 40/40/20 pro/fat/carb split of whole foods
200kcal added whenever I did cardio
1000kcal added of primarily sugars and protein as peri-workout nutrition

So days varied between 2700kcal and 2000kcal for off days (As I bump up the food)

Getting on to maintenance for a while (+500/d) then increasing more (+700/d), can’t wait for food :smiley:

And the odd carb reload was done, about 6000kcal of glory.

Why don’t you try GOMAD or up your diet a bit.Seems like at your weight and height you should be consuming more.

No where near enough. Luckily strength hasn’t decreased - and maybe even increased at least a little - but I just realised I am slowly losing weight. This sucks.

“2nd Breakfast” was a 2 scoop protein shake and leftover potato (maybe 1/2 c).

1st lunch was .8 lb short cut steak and some carrotz.

2800 pretty much every day. Maintain/slowly losing weight (which is the goal).

goal is 260-300g prot and less then 100 carbs

I probably average 3,200 kcal on training days and 4,000 on holiday season party days. Nothing’s off limits this time of year.

~4900 a day right now.

As long as I gain weight slowly I think its enough for me :slight_smile:

Pumped340 did the math for me the other day and it apparently came out to 7800 lol.

Post lunch 40g protein shake

“Semi-off day”: StepMill, Abs, Mobility/Stretch/Foam, (25g BCAA/EAA during w/o)

60 g protein shake

1st dinner in an hour or so

Height: 5’11"
Weight: 199.2 (weighed myself first thing this morning, boxers only, after I used the john)

Im at anywhere between 3000 and 4000 depending on whether Im training or not, and also how much my schedule permits me to eat. Breakdown is more or less 100g fat, 350g carbs, 300 g pro. Id love to be getting closer to 5000 calories a day because my weight gain has slowed, but Im still working out the kinks of my new schedule in terms of when I can get calories in.
