Does anyone else have this problem?

Distilled Water · 11-02-2007, 01:33 PM

I'm one week into my heavy bulk and this is becoming annoying. After I get done eating my normal meal, 6oz chicken, 1/2 cup brown rice, 1 1/2t Olive Oil with 6gr Fish Oil I'm pretty full. Then about hmmm 25-45minutes later I feel like I haven't eaten in 5 hours. I would love to eat again

but if I eat too much Im afraid I'll put on too much fat.

Is my body trying to tell me something? Should I try eating another small meal?

I'm about 5'9" at between 185-190lbs and 11-12%BF. I'm eating about 3500cals a day at a 30/50/20split (p/c/f)

i think it's just a mental thing you're experiencing. if you have a full meal with the appropriate macronutrients, you shouldn't be "starving" again 30 min later. just don't think about food. think of it this way: the satisfaction you feel from looking good in the mirror will far surpass the feeling of taking in those unnecessary cals and overeating.

sip on some BCAAs if you're really that hungry. are you on anything right now that would increase your appetite?

Try adding some fibrous greens like broccoli to your meals.

hahaha damn man, well that changes everything. superdrol is a glycogen vacuum, so it's no surprise that you're feeling hungry. but i still say it's mental if you're THAT hungry so soon after eating a full meal.

up your carbs with each meal. increase your other macros as well. you may not be eating enough with each meal.

That happens to me too, but the second I take a bite I'm full again.

BTW, I don't think you should be worrying about fat gain while on Superdrol. Half the fun of being on a cycle is being able to eat whatever you want and still stay lean.

Yea true dat. I needed to bump my cals starting 2maro anyways. I'm gonna bump to 4,000 instead of the planned 3,750 and see how that goes.

Yea I forgot to add that. I have about 1/3 cup diced broccoli in there.

What do you mean by "normal" in this sentence? This is what you eat normally at each and every meal?

Where is this meal in relation to your weight or cardio sessions?

Yes, meals 4,5,6 are the same thing. I didn't lift yesterday so meal 3,4,5,6 are the same. It doesn't matter, 45minutes after breakfast my stomach is screaming for more food. I dont wake up hungry but as soon as I get food in me, my body keeps wanting more and more.

I did fill up the other day for a while but I ate ~800cals (55/110/20) at one sitting and I dont know if I want to do that.

*I'd also like to note Im drinking about 1.5~2gal of H2O/day

Well... It would alter the macro ratios, but I'd up the serving of brown rice and the serving of brocolli at the expense of (some of) the Olive Oil. The fiber and extra CHO should assist in satiation. Then add the Olive Oil back in if you are gaining at an acceptable rate.

Yea I was just thinking of doing that. I'm forgetting im takeing 6gr of fish oil with 5 of my meals (30gr/day). So i'm getting fat from a good source with each meal.

I'll shoot for 600gr of carbs a day from now on

then my 300gr of protein and 30gr of fish oil then fat from meats and eggs puts me at about the 4,000 mark. Good lord

Ok, from what I see here the superdrol is lowering your Blood sugar very quickly.

Normally rice (brown to a lesser extent than rice) raises, then drops your blood sugar rather quickly, leaving you sometimes feeling drowsy and hungry 1 hour post meal.

With superdrol it lowers your Blood sugar much faster than norm, so you may be overly sensitive to the blood sugar rollercoaster from the rice.

I would try a baked potato or something other than pasta or rice for a day or too and see if that helps.

Other than that, eat like a horse, or eat a horse...eitherway you wont get fat.
