i have the same problem. im meant to be on 3200 maintenance (does that sound right for someone of 170 pounds, 5 foot 11, 23year old male?)
using that figure i was trying to bulk on 3500 kcalories and maltesers were my poor excuse of hitting the kcalories. im trying to cut a little at the minute but improve speed and im still struggling to eat a clean 2800 kcalories
This seems, sounds and tastes like a lot of food. Kcal dense foods such as nuts also bump up the fat intake and i had to eat a tin of lentil soup to make my fitday pie chart not be so fat-heavy.
i can only presume im still in the wrong mindset and should be eating more around training, but i train at night so dont like post-post-wo complex carbs or fats as i feel like i store them and have that full feeling the morning after.
