Hi guys,
Before my question here's a quick recap of the situation :
I just finished a 19th weeks prep for three BB shows 4 weeks ago.
I am currently in the reverse diet phase. During the cutting process I wasn't doing FT but a more typical split.
Now I'm back at it (I was looking forward to it ).
At the end of the prep I was on 1 300 cals / day.
Now on training days I'm around 2 300 cals (310 C / 150 P / 45 F) and I gained just around 3.5 / 4 lbs.
The FT program has gave my metabolism a HHHUUUGGGE boost, so big that it's very hard to stay on my planned macros (I was planning on adding 20 / 30g carbs per week).
I'm always hungry, don't know how to explain, it's like my body's racing
This period is almost harder than prep.
Here's my question (finally ) :
If the program has speed up my metabolism, should I use this as an opportunity to shovel a maximum of food / calories and hope to put on muscle, regardless the slow calories upgrade that I planned ?
Or should I restrain myself and stick to the plan?
Thanks
