so before I went on a bulking diet I talked to a personal trainer and he took my bmi and told me that my basal calorie intake was around 3500 so I started eating about 4000 calories a day for about a week now, before I was eating about 2800-3000. I've gained 6lbs in just a week and I got my body fat% tested again and it didnt change at all so that was good, but I'm worried about gaining all that weight that fast I know your only suppose to gain or lose only 2lbs max week. I really felt it when I ran today. all the weight gain went straight to my shoulders and upper chest. Is that quick of a weight gain just something you start out with and it will level off or am I doin something wrong heres what I typically ate in a day
