Help!! Am I Eating Too Much?

[hipsacjack]

I started my bulk cycle (500mg Sust/400mg Eq) about a week and a half ago and I'm up 6 lbs.(I'm 6' 1" 203lbs) My stomach is huge right now. I'm eating clean all day and consuming about 3000-3500cals a day and about 200-300g protien a day. I'm on .25mg Arimidix also. Is this normal due to the gear not kicking in yet or what. Help me out bros.

I don't think you're eating enough. 3000-3500 cals is dieting levels for most hard training BB'ers. Your stomach will expand with the increased volume of food. If you're eating clean, which you certainly should be, then you are going to have to eat LARGE quanities of food to meet your caloric needs. This means t your stomach will have to expand to accomidate it all. You're also going to have an increase in waste products and edema. It's normal, but again 3000 cals is LOW. I would suggest a minimum of 4000 cals for the cycle you're on. You don't grow without food.

Could be gas, really! W/those calories doesn't seem like over eating, I usually do 4500-5000/day.

Yeh. That's included in my definition of "waste products". And as Maxx said this certainly isn't overeating by any stretch. You will get a distended "gut" which is due to many factors, but it's a fact of life while bulking.

Yeah..I had plans on consuming at least 4000cals but I started to get worried when I noticed my bloated ass gained 6 lbs in a couple days.

I don't think that you eat too much. But I don't think that
you should eat much more than that. Just to give you
my experiences: I never eat more than 3500 kcal, often less,
but I grow like weed. Last cycle was a light one: Sust every
4th day 250 mg, and in the last 4 weeks Winstrol 50 mg EOD.
I went from 200 to 220 lbs ( I am 5'11"). And I think that
I train hard and in addition do 3-4 times cardio per week.
Eating 4000-5000 kcals would be impossible for me. I would
become a fat monster. That amount is ok if you are already
big. I have my own opinion about bulking.
Well, that is just my opinion.

The stomach thing is normal. I have it too even with my moderate
food intake. When I stop eating a lot it goes back.
