The weight plateua

UNC13 · 11-20-2005, 07:19 PM

Have any of you guys ever hit a weight plateau? I'm eating like a horse and I've been stuck for 2 solid weeks now. I'm trying to bulk yet after a solid 12 pound increase in the first 2 1/2 weeks I've stopped dead. Any ideas to break the trend? I guess I could eat more, but I'm eating around 4000-5000 calories a day.

whats your bodyweight and how much protien are you getting?

do you put olive oil in your shakes?

I'm at a little over 170. I eat enough protien, I know that. Lots of chicken, tuna and protien powder goes into me. No I don't put olive oil in my shakes, what would that do for me?

it provides you with easy (unfilling) calories and good fats. many people use it to bulk, i suggest 1tbsp per protein shake.

start off with light olive oil tho, most people prefer that to extra virgin..

I put it in my yogurt and my protien shakes an extra 200 calories. Thanks a bunch for the suggestion.

I would also add oats to your diet as that is an inexpensive way to ad clean calories. BTW, adding 12 pounds in 2 weeks is a receipe to get fat really quick. The most one can reasonably add is 1-2 lbs a week of muscle, the rest is fat.
