I have been following the meal plan with only minor hiccups (not eating all the food) and only missed the extra workout last week otherwise I have been upping my weight every week on all lifts. But I keep gaining weight. I started at 172 and now I’m 177. I know we shouldn’t look at the scale but this is crazy. I can’t have that much muscle growth? I am taking creatine so maybe some of it water weight but how long does that last before that starts to deplete. It’s making me unmotivated please help…

Hi there is may temporary resting water hence the weight gain but it should level off. Are you hungry or feel super full all of the time? How do you feel? Obviously the food is good for your strength progress which is good for buns and guns growth. My suggestion would be if you feel super full all of the time, you might belong in the meal plan lower. You shouldn’t feel uncomfortably full. The fullness should level off as well especially if you aren’t used to eating that much. Hope some of those suggestions help. Hang in there.
I could always eat more. Not overly full. I’m just very busy running 2 businesses so sometimes I just run out of time and I hate eating late. My stomach hurts if I eat before bed. Is this a building phase or cutting? I should probably look at that…
Agreed… April for me is a bit stressful due to all of the accounting and taxes that I deal with and seems as if I am holding on the unwanted “fat,” as if I need extra security…LOL.

In this challenge you are doing more carb cycling. The calories are staying roughly the same but the carbs are lower on rest days than they are on training days. I would look at things like how are my clothes fitting, how’s my energy and take that as the guide. Sometimes the weight will go up but we still feel comfortable in our skin so to speak.
Great question! I’ve put on weight too but not getting in my cardio. What is the macro breakdown on resting vs non resting days?

Look at the bottom of the page for whichever plan you are on. It’s broken Down there.
