well I don't like the idea of adding "dirty calories"....They can really mess up your digestive system etc if you have been eating clean for a few years. It can really throw everything off.

I would just try to adjust your ratios until something changes.

Would you have problems posting pics...??

if your not gaining fat, and you don't gain muscles.
Eat more food, if fast food is you solution, eat it. I personally love my fast food when I am gaining.
Still not gaining, but maybe storing fat ? bump up the gear or switch to something else..

I eat a lot less then that and I am 220. I have a fast metabolism. The whole picture is not clear here. I would look at your training routine and stop cardio. Go back to basic, heavy movements, and 3 days a week. I eat 100% clean at all times too.

Regardless if it's fat free mass or not, he should be gaining weight in a caloric surplus. So really, either way would work--cut energy expenditure, or increase caloric intake.

your a lucky guy then...

i posted my training in the thread whats your routine its all basic heavy movements 2 sets 1 5-8 1 back off 8-12 or 15-20 for quads check it out i Laid everything out even exercise selection... if i slack and eat 4k or 3.5k ill drop 2-4 lbs in a day...

even off days have to be high having a free meal on my off days 1 time a week this is hard for me because im not really into that i have a problem with knowing my macros for a meal...

tommorow my free meal will be a chicken blt with miracle whip craving that for some reason with a side of icecream (soft serve mcdonalds cone) < love those or just 1-2 scoops from a icecream store...

Cardio is by far the best thing for heart health 3.2 sp at 5 incl for 30 min is a stretch to even call cardio LOL IMHO... keeps bp down and helps you get through those widowmakers...

On training days Im using humalog pre workout 30minutes with 30/40/1
intra 0/60/0
post humalog with 50/40/2

p/c/f all vitargo carbs 10iu slin each dose

and smash atleast 245 carbs when I get home 1 hr post w/o shake...
