Ha! I knew it! Back down to 160.5 lbs (where I was two weeks ago, and also the day after last week's 163 lb weigh-in). Going to increase kcal by 10% across the board in the form of more carbohydrates.
Training
kcal = 3560
PRO = 220g (24%)
FAT = 80g (20%)
CHO = 500g (55%)
Recovery
kcal = 3270
PRO = 220g (27%)
FAT = 80g (22%)
CHO = 420g (51%)
Now I do have a couple thoughts and questions to run by Sean, so hopefully he will have some time to talk this weekend (the sooner the better so I can get things dialed in and laid out). For instance, given my kcal, my "high" protein diet this time around isn't really "high" and I wonder if I should increase protein to maintain it around 30%. Thinking back, my protein did gradually increase during my last bulk and ended at 190g at the current kcal. Carbohydrates are probably done increasing for a cycle or two because if I do have to increase kcal again, it will be to protein (if we decide to keep it around 30%) or fat (so as to keep it above 20%).
I should also add that with my new school schedule I can get back to the XX0XX00 training schedule rather than X0X0XX0. This means that I will start doing the extended fasts again on my second rest day after no training, which depending on a last minute schedule change I am waiting on, will be either Saturday or Wednesday. Regardless, planned macros for that day are,
2370 kcal
PRO = 220g (37%)
FAT = 80g (30%)
CHO = 194g (33%)
Will also talk with Sean about what he thinks. I will only eat twice on that day, and the calories were determined as 80% of my recovery day kcal before today's increase, with the deficit coming from CHO.
Overall, I am making great progress in the gym and am definitely a "sugar-burner" at the moment. But wait! I'm not getting fat and I still don't get hungry! No one can stand between me and my potatoes! Or oat bran! RAWR!
