Let’s be honest with ourselves here, you’re going to demolish food this weekend.
Why dont you just enjoy the weekend, not worry about any level of consumption, and be ready to commit to your diet plan Monday upon waking.
What I’m seeing is a lot of inconsistency. This is what plagues most people regarding dieting. If you want to lose the weight, you have to hold yourself accountable. Family feasts will not stop. Special occasions will not stop. Temptations will not stop. You have to hold your self accountable, no matter what the external influences are.
Gentlemen that is homemade chicken parmigiana with butter and lemon asparagus, ceased salad with tomatoes and garlic bread. Tons of fat calories, all homemade. My son and I cooked that for my mom and wife. It was so good.
I should really learn how to cook, I only know how to make eggs so I usually have the same meal for breakfast and dinner: 6 eggs and 4 pieces of plain toast, sometimes with a banana.
I bet bulking would be easier if I made something that actually tasted good rather than relying on pop tarts. But then I might run into the problem that every older guy runs into, keeping the weight off.
Nevermind, learning to cook sounds like a double edged sword
A year ago I weighed 245 at a higher measured BF %. For all the set backs and struggles I have made gains in mass and I finally feel like I understand diet and food much better than the basics.

We were in a hurry. Son’s new job had us on a time limit. We got in and out 51 min. Solid day in the gym. 275 is the most on my back since the incident. I had more but bringing it along slowly. I’ll progress 275 to 10 before upping the weight.
