Initial Weight Gain When Beginning Bulk? Help Please

Nutrition

I started a bulk about 2 weeks ago.
My weight went from 168lbs to 175lbs in 2 weeks!

I was eating between 3,000-3,500 calories and started creatine. Before this, I was on a cut eating only 2,000 calories so this is actually my first bulk.

Is this normal? Am I eating too much?

So my maintenance went from 2500 to 2800 when I started TRT. Suddenly I was losing nearly 2lbs on 2000 calories. so I’m assuming a 3,250 calories would be a somewhat lean bulk?

Extra food in stomach and probably increase in water and glycogen if carbs have been increased. Nothing to worry about at this point.

You also just came off a pretty big cut and didn’t take a maintenance phase, which is likely to result in some rebound weight.
