Gaining

when you decided you have gained enough, did you have trouble going from gaining to maintaining? any tips?

I'm not really much of a gainer myself, but from what I understand it's about calories in vs out in how much you eat vs how much you burn.

So while gaining you ate more than you were burning, etc. You probably already knew that.

But anyway, if you use a calculator like so:

You can figure out how much your body needs to maintain its weight. I can imagine it'll take a bit of experimenting though. Good luck!

I still run in the mornings, do sit-ups and push ups, though I'm around forty pounds overweight. The last twenty of those, coming in the past few years. I certainly don't lose weight the way I could in my younger days. I old, so gaining is easy, losing is hard, but maintaining hasn't been an issue.
