3 to 5 thousand a day. First off, huge variation of calories. Second, how much protein you consuming? Get in about 280g protein or more. Third, highly doubt you need 5000 calories in the first place.
I take in about 400 to 500 grams of protein a day!
If that is the case, and you are not gaining muscle, either your hormones are messed up, which could explain these threads, or your training is bad.
What hormones could be messed up, I got my free t checked and it’s borderline low at 48,47 being hypo. And my training is solid I progress every week I don’t understand how I can squat 405 and deadlift 500 but have very little to show for it’s extremely frustrating.
If you are borderline hypogonadism, that will effect fat loss, muscle gain, bone density, overall health, and it will majorly effect mental health. You need to go back to the doctor if that is the case, get more bloods, and get a plan going for your hormones. Could be a big reason that you are on edge.
You explain why the school cop tried to smack me for no reason! And guess what he is a 300 pound obese diabetic who I a well known dirty cop.
Thanks man when you say fat,I thought fat was bad? I try to eat nothing but clean food but there so low in calories I try to avoid any fatty foods! I see a lot of bodybuilders online eat stuff like burgers,burritos,subs,chips,pizza! Is it ok to eat if I’m on a bulk because I cut these foods out and I would love to enjoy them again?
Said he was borderline hypogonadism.

Cut up A bunch off chicken breast,and swallow with water like chicken soup!400-500 grams of protein a day.
I wouldn’t know, one of the most exhausting and tedious things I do every day is TRYING to get 300. I fail every singe day doing that, and I’m 240lbs.
If I’m lucky, I’ll break 4000+ 3 out of 7 days. Im just honest enough with myself to admit it and work on it.
So you’re eating 4 pounds of chicken a day?
No 2-3 I eat drumsticks and 1 pound chicken breast!
Most IFBB pros aren’t needing 500 grams of protein in a day. At 300+ lbs. Why would a teenager need that much?
I wish I had your appetite. It’s a struggle for me at times.
Believe me bro it’s a double edged sword. Also I think over time my tastes have definitely changed. I mostly do a lot of meats and veggies and eggs. Fish, poultry. But at this point I would almost rather some meat and spinach with some blue cheese instead of a burger or pizza. Good thing is I almost always have 75 grams of protein or so with all my meals. So in 4 meals, I’m at 300. And even when I’m not trying I’m basically in keto lol.
If you can't eat more -sh1t less.
Eat more calories
Lol eloquently simple and correct.
To paraphrase Steve Reeves, “if you can’t build muscle, take up ping pong!”
A pound of chicken breast is roughly 130 grams of protein, you're definitely overestimating your intake. Invest in a weighing scale, stick to whole foods and download a calorie counter. I'm sorry but you don't look like you're ANYWHERE near your natural potential in your photos, so it's either that or your training is **** (or both). Also, if your T is tanked that could hinder progression, but keyword HINDER. Not HALT. Judging by your physique I'd say even 2500 cals would illicit results, so I would suggest you go back to the drawing board before making such ridiculous statements. I do genuinely hope you figure your **** out, though.
Nothing like a good de-worming and/or holding them sh!ts in for major GAINZZ.Not gaining weight? How about using antiparasitics?
You gotta realize I wrestle so I burn 6000 calories easily I will lose 5-10 pounds a practice and I eat 1-2 pounds of steak a day along with 1-2 or ground beef!
Get a food scale and measure out a days worth of calories and track it with my fitness pal, and once you see its 2600 calories, you can then start to fix it.
