So I just decided to log in my daily food and exercise on this site, and was surprised to find out why I have stalled in my muscle gains. My cardio days and my other met-con days are killing me with Calories burned vs Calorie intake! I know I'm lucky to be on this side of the scale, but for someone who is trying to put on some additional bulk muscle (maybe 8 lbs), it is a little disheartening to realize how much more I have to eat during the day! Especially because I want the food to be healthy and nutritious, not just junk filler. So now I have to figure out what else to eat during breakfast an lunch, and also balance that into my weekly food budget.
Going up or going down, weight watching is exhausting.
