Gaining

I properly went for it during my two weeks off I think I averaged around 4000 calories a day and hardly moved. Is 5lbs gain a decent return or should I be looking for more???

Give it a few days to a week and try weighing again. Sometimes it takes a bit of time for the weight to stick.

When I gain I try to weigh myself on one designated day, once a week. Easier to see the progression that way IMO.

One more point, I gain easily now due to my age. I’m over 65 and i’ve gained Two to three pounds in just a coupe days of overeating.
