I feel like my metabolism has slowed down. Maybe my body was gaining muscle mass more easily. I used to have to eat 5000-6000 calories to look like this. Thanks to 4100 calories, I'm gaining weight right now. I have nothing to complain about!

If my weight doesn't go up in two to three weeks, I'll add 500 calories. Personally, that's what I do. I give myself about two to three weeks. If I don't see any gain, I add some food. If I gain too much weight, I go back down.
