Reply With QuoteYou should definately be fine on 3K diet. With Xmas coming soon too that will add some cals
There is no way of saying "Yes, you will get to 185" you need to go through trial and error. Eat the 3K and adjust as necessary. If you arn't gaining enough then increase. If you are gaining too much then decrease........
That is all there is too it
Oh and a cheat meal a week is perfectly acceptable on a bulk

Need your opinion!!
Been cutting and now maintaining for a bout 2 months at 170 with about 6.5% body fat. I love being this ripped, but I feel so damn small now. I am 5'11, I am not small...But I mean compared to what I looked like at 200, I feel puiny. I really just want to bulk back up again, but this time only go to 185, and stay under 10 bf if posible. Right now I am doing around 2400-2800/cal a day, it varies depending on workout day and off days.
Probally say usually around 2600, would it be safe to jump the calories to 3000 for the next 3 weeks (winter break) and see what happens? Is this too big of a jump?
Another weird question...
Tell me if this makes sense? Lets say I make a 3000 calorie diet, and I stay on it for weeks, even months...Without upping the calories, I'd eventually hit 185, no?
I seem to work well with the 12/15/18 rule. 185 (my goal weight, this bulk) is
2775 to maintain so technically even at 3000, i'd still be 200 over maintenance.
So I was just wondering if I kept the calories at 3000 would i be able to bulk to 185 without changing them? Also how would a weekly cheat meal effect me?

Is it ok to go from 2500 to 3000 in 1 day? I really dont care if i get a little fat gain from the fast transition, but would the fat gain be noticable?
I mean im really eager to start on 3000 calories like tommorow...
