what'd happen if you added 500 calories, all good carbs and fats?

I just bumped up from 5000 - I'll add another 500 and see how I gain.

No I recover pretty well even when I am off.

I am having a hard time with my appetite. - No I can't use B12 - my red blood cells are too high already and the EQ is making if worse.

I will add a few tbs of Flaxseed oil - thanks

I personally like natty pb. I've been eating 1.5 - 2 tb several times a day.. but flax oil is good, too

Bingo! Listen to scorp.

Try adding my personal favorite, Olive Oil to some protein shakes. Olive Oil is 14g of good fat per tablespoon. Which means 126 calories! If you are looking for an additional 10 lbs, I would shoot for an additional 1000 calories per day or 8 tablespoons of Olive Oil. It'll be the easiest 1000 calories you'll ever consume.

BTW: Don't add carbs, add the fat!

One further note on Oilive Oil. The reason you don't see it talked about much in BBing circles, is that there is no money to be made from it from the supp companies. Exotic fats like CLA, Fish Oil and Flax are all expensive when compared to Olive Oil. Last thing- go with the extra virgin!

BTW I took LA's advice on adding additional olive oil @ 2mo ago and it made a world of difference.

Thanks, BG. It's always good to know that someone listens to at least some of the ramblings I write.

Calories above maintenance puts on fat. Olive Oil is away to get calories above maintenance. Calories need to be above maintenance to put on muscle too.

I always get stuck at 203lbs till I cut.
I like the olive oil idea. Wish I knew that last bulk cycle.

I'm ready for it on the next one!!!!!!!!!1

Everyone talks about diet but what about workout routine and sleep? Are you still doing the same workout. If you do your body might have adapted to the stress out on it and stop growing.

I see everyone is saying add fat.I have better results when I add some simple carbs.I have 100g dextrose post workout then my next meal will be a good meal with some extra carbs(snackwells,poptarts,junk carbs).You need to put on a little fat to GROW!
Give it a try for a week or two.
