If appetite is dead time for a short tidy up if you are lean 4-6 weeks hard and fast if you can adhere is needed
Take off 10-15 lbs ish and then get back to it once you are hungry and touch leaner!
So if i was to go about it this way and im not gaining at 5.5k cals would you just pull 1k from this and go out of the gates aggressive and then see how things move after a week?

This could be a few things bud. I wouldn’t pull cardio as movement will aid in appetite and digestion.
What time do you wake and sleep? Are you spacing your meals evenly? Have you a solid routine for meal timings, steps?
What’s stress and sleep like?
The guys have also mentioned digestion aids. But for me it could be something routine based. The food set up looks solid. Not a lot of micro nutrients in there from fruit or veggies?
You could make some easy food source swaps for a pallet change as long as digestion allows too
Eating every 2-3 hours upon wake at 7 and sleep at 10:30. At the time of this post I was on break from school so I think the disruption to my routine may have been one of the causes [/quote]
Great to read things have improved for you. Having a solid routine helps a ton too. Well done bud [/quote]
Thankyou for your help, appreciate it massively -

George, how has this worked out for you mate? Have you seen any improvement?
Sorry for the long reply, but things have been moving amazing. Took out bread and made some different choices and appetite is firing amazingly

The pull of cardio could potentially be the reason for your appetite diminishing.
Does the bread actually sit well for you? As for lots of people when pushing food high or doesn’t
The sourdough digests well but I think in terms of fullness it fills me up quite easily [/quote]
I’m not someone who has a big appetite, when I had bread it fills me up a lot. This biggest thing what helped me getting more food are, moving and getting some steps between meals, using both tbjp insure / digest max to help with digesting the food, picking foods that are higher in calories and don’t take up much volume, like adding some honey to a meal, pomegranate juice to my intra workout. Biggest point is you still need to keep a level of activity with some cardio and steps to help your appetite otherwise you are eating not moving and feeling full and sick of food [/quote]
Okay will do this, thankyou very much -

How’s your body comp at this amount of food ?
Still pretty lean as I’m only 13lbs up from a point where I was around 10-15lbs from a stage weight[/quote]
Have you tried steps between meals?[/quote]
Not really, definitely need to do this as I think it will help massively -

This helps me in off season when food is high:
Digestion aids:
GDA with m1, post and last meal
1 tablet betaine hcl (taken with meal 1,3,5)
1 tablet zinc carnosine to be
consumed on our near empty stomach in am/pm (Gi tract support supplement)
All to be taken 20 minutes prior to
meal.
Okay thankyou very much, will look into these

it defo can be the digestive enzymes – I have seen this with myself and clients before.
I would simply leave this out – which brand were you using
Dean st marts digestive stack

Hey buddy! If this has started since using the dream sleep then I would definitely lower the dose, even discontinue if you feel like that’s causing the issue. What does your nutrition look like leading up to the times before that meal? It could be something to do with your blood sugar levels.
M1: 2 bacon medalians, 3 eggs, 1 bagel
M2: 220g chicken + 150g rice + 2 squares
M3: (pre) 140g cor, 40g whey, 100g frozen berries, 30g honey
M4: (Intra) hbcc
M5: 180g Frosties, 50g whey, bagel, 30g jam
M6: 500g potato, 250g 5% mince, 2 wraps [/quote]
These look good George . I’d either reduce the dose of dream sleep or take it out altogether and see how you get on .
That elimination approach always tends to work well by identifying what’s what . [/quote]
Thankyou, I will see how things go 👍
