Sport Too Many Calories?

Hey all,

Recently, I've been really trying to bulk up from a 20+ lb weight loss this summer. In September, I weighed in at 117 lb. I have been using a calorie counter and upped my calorie intake to about 2500 (Baseline) for a goal of 1lb per week. From there I factored in my weight training (3x a week, 1 hr, 150 calories a session), running (3x per week, 30 minutes, 350 calories a session) as well as an hour walk total too and from school (253 calories). On a really high day I sometimes end up consuming over 3000 calories.

Well, time went on and I weighed myself after a week. I gained 2 lbs. No problem, I thought and kept going. Two weeks later I am now 130 lbs. Now, not to say that there is anything wrong with that but I don't want too much of this weight to come on as flab. I have noticed quite a bit of a "belly" coming on and not as much muscle as I hoped. Is my calorie intake too high or is this just me?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks
 
Have you gained 13lbs in 2 or 3 weeks?

Either way its too much weight which means your putting on to much fat. The maximum you should gain is 2lb, most say 1lb a week. Keep cutting your calories down till you're just gaining a pound or so a week.
 
That is waaay too much weight gain the short amount of time, and most of it is fat. Reduce calorie intake until you are gaining 1-2 pounds a week.
 
Hey,

Thanks for the quick replies. I've cut my calories down to about 2800. I'll see where that goes. If need be, I'll drop it some more.

One question though. I just weighed myself and my weight is different from the 129.5 that came up yesterday. As of this afternoon, the scale shows 128 lb. Hmmm....is that saying something?
