The next phase will be interesting JBB, establishing your maintenance or build calories :-)
I am the same as you when I am counting calories, having the same foods, just increase/decrease the weights to suit the caloriesbut swap the order in which I eat them and jazz them up with herbs and spices.
I had baked spud for breakfast today instead of oats for a change :-0

I've been wondering that, I guess 2000 would be a good start then move up from there. Looking at Richy's log makes me queesy sometimes, I don't think I could physically chow down 3000 + cals a day :)

It makes things a lot easier, I tend to eat a few different things over the weekend & end up having to write down loads of food labels or hunt the food down in my Collins Gem which is time consuming. During the week is fairly easy, I have a spreadsheet listing loads of common foods & their measurements so I just cut & paste them into the meal time in the daily sheet :)

That is a bit of a change, what did you have with it?

i'll stick with my 1800 for now ta.
I am not sure I could ever eat 4000 cals. What a massive task.
This week I am on 2000 and am lording it.
It would actually be very difficult to eat 4000 cals of clean food.
I would have to have like 6 weetabix, smoothies instead of fruit etc etc.
Maybe one day I wil give it a try.

You're right mate, I don't know how Richy does it. I''ve tried eating 3000+ cals a day before & ended up cheating by eating high calorie junk, thus ended up a flabber again. Not this time round though

it's not that hard really. milk, nuts and peanut butter are good ways of getting extra cals... and then there's the forbidden protein shakes!

*hides from the anti supp nuts*
I used a 600 cals post workout shake, with oats, milk & whey & it bloated the hell out of me, I think it may have made me a bit sensitive to milk too. I'll use the nuts approach next time & aim for more fats rather than go all out carbs :)
