I ate until I spilled over then dialed it back. Hunger isn't a factor because I fucking love to eat and could eat so much more everyday. Way less than 30 carbs and some days 0 carbs because all I ate was meat and fats.
That's kind of what I've done. I was losing a lot of weight, then cranked up the eating until I quit losing strength then up more until I packed on a bit then dialed back. That's how I got to here. I follow CNS pretty good but now I'm doing CNS except for 1/wk when I'll have a medium bowl of heavily sweetened peanut butter or something similar. So, I feel like I'm starting to recomp I think. I also just started creatine and I think its helping the whole effect.I am hitting all my lifts this week. New deadlift pr of 271 and honestly I'm not sure I coulnd't have done more. I'm feeling a little injured right now but still hit every scheduled lift in squat and leg press today and will be bumping all those lifts. That's unusual for me as legs are usually my weak spot. I actually think my eating is doing decent for me and was looking for opinions and experiences from others. From what I'm hearing I think I'm doing ok. If I'm hitting closer to that 1800 number I think I'm finding a sweet spot. I can tell you if I was eating 3k/day even if it was all meat I'd get fat I'm sure of it. But maybe not. I think my next tweak might be to really increase JUST meat by 500 cals or so while keeping the rest the same.Thanks for all the feedback everyone.
If you can tell us that eating 3k calories a day of animals would make you fat then why the question? lol. Seriously have you tried it? I believe that 1500 calories is hardly your bmr. You need a lot more. Eating too few calories for an extended period of time is just as detrimental as eating too many calories. Eat more, measure your waist along with the scale and take pictures to track your body comp. If you start getting fat, start asking for help again, don't just dip back to too few calories. That's doesn't work.

Fair point...stream of consciousnesses writing isn't always consistent I guess. Anyway no, I haven't tried it. But I think I'll move toward that, try to add 500-700 cals of meat to my days that are probably more like 1800 days usually. That'll get me up around 2500/day, see what happens.
Gaining on CNS isn't a problem but you have to eat a shit load of cals everyday. With my ULC cals and my CarbNite cals added up and divided I'm right around if not over 4300 cals a day. That's eating 3k a day ULC, and 10k on my CarbNite. Both those numbers go up but not down. Lol
+1I'm doing CNS as well and all I eat is meat and fat. Maybe a little cheese & veggies here and there but mostly meat and fat. I've lost 15lbs in 5 weeks now and I'm getting stronger as well. Like Scope75, I just eat until I'm full. I don't eat nearly as much as he does, but I'm working on it 8)
I see lots of calories thrown around but no macros. What are your protein/fat/carb numbers? I see you are roughly 150lbs. So you should be getting at least 150g protein and 150g fat. That would equal 1950 calories. Not the sub 1400 you claim to be getting most days.
Unless you're eating like really small portions, I find it somehow hard to believe that your calories are at 1200-1800. I'm on 1500 cals for some time now, also skipping breakfast, barely snacking and not "cheating" at night....just saying 🙂
This sounds like me! I plan on cranking it up though. I want to get big as hell.

Yep.Personally, I never count calories - only macros. If the macro's are good then the calorie intake generally takes care of itself providing that you are eating as you claim...
I've personally never counted calories, simply macros… however recently I've considered doing the former just to see if I am eating enough… what's an example of a 2000 calorie/day in meal form even look like?For example today Breakfast 8:30am : Starbucks Grande Pike Lunch 11am:1/2 Chicken + 1 cup Aparagus = 457 + 27 = 584 caloriesDinner 7:30pm: 2 chicken breasts + 1 1/2 cups Chinese Broccoli = 643 + 30 = 673 caloriesTotal day intake = 1257 caloriesCouldn't imagine eating any more than I am now. If I eat another meal in the afternoon I normally couldn't stomach as much I currently do for dinner. Whole foods are just so satiating. Of course for backloading days I take the PWO shake + a personal sized pastry after dinner... so may be a bit higher in calories in those days....

How much do you weigh? That is like concentration camp calorie intake.2000 calories? Easy! Ill give you my off days ULC meals as an example. Today I will be taking inmorningam acclerator: 10g fat 10g protein = 130calsmeal 1coffee with mct and cream: 30g fat (probably more actually) = 270calsred thai beef (150g) w/spinach, garlic and onions: 30g protein 30g fat (most likely more) = 390calsmeal 2100g biltong beef jerky:47g protein 8g fat = 260cals125g cheese: 33g protein 30g fat = 402calsmeal 3lamb or scotch fillet steak*: 30g protein 30g fat = 390calsmeal 4streaky bacon*: 30g protein 30g fat = 390calsrough total calories for (low calorie ULC day) = 2232 calories*I usually have 1 more coffee with cream and some dark chocolate as well. Would add another 200 or so calories. Not including any incidental calories from bell peppers, other veges, fish oil, cod liver oil, etcActually after adding that up it looks like I need to start eating more on my off days!

Well if it was burgers/fries/pizza I can shove a lot down my vacuum of a mouth. Processed foods are no problem... whole foods quite the opposite..... up until a month ago I was eating a Paleo Diet... my 10 days prep didn't result in any weight difference since it's very similar to my normal diet. My only change when taking on CBL was adding the recommended PWO and rice (if I'm at home for dinner) or something along the lies of pizza/burger/sushi if I'm out. Not really getting the tight feeling as described in the book but my numbers have been steadily going up.Current Weight: 178Height: 5'9'Workout program: Wendler 5/3/1 Bodybuilding
