Hi guys, new here. Looks like some great info being passed around here. Was wonderng if someone more experienced with diet could lend me a hand.
Lomg story, I'll make it quick...Used to weigh 180. I went on a low carb diet and started doinf crossfit. Worked great...a little too great though. I lost 20 lbs of stomach fat along with some muscle. I now have a somewhat flat stomach(which I have never had because traditionally, I am a flabby guy) and would like to keep it. But, I want to add some muscle back.
Now, I know crossfit isn't ideal for building muscle, but it works for me cuz I'm in the best shape of my life and my job calls for me to be in shape, plus with work and family, I'm in the gym minmally. Along with crossfit, I add one body part a day, pick an exersice, and do 6 sets of 5 reps to try to add some bulk.
Not looking to get huge, but get some bulk back. I've been eating around 2000-2500 calries at a 40/40/20 ratio. I want to go to a 3000 calorie diet at about a 40P/40C/20F ratio. My concern with eating so many calories and carbs is going back to my flabby stomach.
In your guys experience, will upping my calories that much sacrifice a lean stomach? Or do ya think I'd be ok eating that much. Thanks guys!
