I'm 221 lb and I'm jumping from 2500 calories to 2,700 calories. I'm going to stay there for 2 to 4 weeks before I add any more calories. I do MAPS Anabolic 3 days a week, an elliptical session for one mile after my anabolic workouts, and on my off days, I walk two to two and a half miles. I also do Focus sessions on the weekend. I know my weight will go up with my reverse dieting; I just don't know when I should be concerned. When should I be concerned about weight gain during my reverse diet?
Should I bump my calories higher or maintain them at around 2500-2700? I was at 2700 but realistically between 2700-3200. Clothing was getting tighter in the midsection, so I’m back down to around 2500. I’m 5’9”, 210ish pounds, with a body fat percentage of 20-22. I'm doing the Anabolic program and loving it. The last week of phase two starts today, and I’m getting very strong, now hitting 225 on squats for 8-10 reps for sets.
If I'm currently at 2500 calories and want to aim for 3000 calories, how slowly should I increase my caloric intake while doing Maps Anabolic 3 days a week? I weigh 235 lb at 30% body fat, and I'm a male.
