@JimmiePop & @ Diablo360x know about bulk / cut so you have plenty to grow from. Trust the process.

@chesgreen - Yes agreed! This 'experiment' I am still in the middle of, is doing low carb on non lifting days. I want to gain weight back as slowly as possible while building muscle. Will this work? I don't know. I will eventually find out. What I don't want to do, is ever get past 180. If I carb out every day I can gain 10lbs. in a week! Kinda hard to build muscle if I only lift for a week and then spend 2 weeks fasting. Anyway, I am ready for a period of trial and error...

If you can control your eating, your work should take care of burning extra calories. when you build more muscle and increase the intensity of your workouts, you will also need to eat more. muscles need protein and fuel. Have you figured out your rdi lately?? or used Jimi's formula?? the overall week should balance with a daily at that number with extra for work days. Chris does that, eats more for the work day.

Your an inspiration, now that my vacation month is done it is time to get serious as well. Just catching up on house and yard chores. Must maintain a routine for those and fit in some workouts. I must be diligent in recording it so helps my accountability.

@baskington - You lost me at 'If you can control your eating...' :) :) I am slowly experimenting with things, but if the weight jumps up I am back to fasting :)

Oh no! Not the trail mix! I think the only ppl that can safely consume trail mix on the reggie are Ethiopian children :( But you are doing good. You are an excellent planner! Keep switching it up It’s working for you!

Sounds like you've got a plan. You sharing your adjustments helps us all. At least you know and recognize what trips you up. To add a sel-centered note: I fasted for 42 hours, ended today with a Mexican Surf and Turf lunch. Longest fast to date. Weight this morning 153.4. Will see what avg. will be. 🤔 You're still my motivator! 😊👍 Thank you!
