    Possibly reassess if you haven't lost weight in a week/2 week period, but spot on about the weight gain time period.

    Take your weight in pounds, times it by 14, add 500 to this figure for workout days, keep the figure the same for rest days, train 3-4 times a week eating at those designated levels each day. Add/remove 150 calories from workouts days and 75 calories from rest days according to speed of weight gain (aim to gain no more than a pound a week at max, any more WILL be adding more fat than lean tissue). There is no real way of telling calories, so this method is best as you will learn your body and what it takes to get results.

    Best of luck, let us know your results!

    I have noticed on most activity multipliers it states activity per week and on other it doesn't say.. So why do some people use different multipliers for different days (training/rest)?

    Or are they taking and meeting a weekly caloric requirement while keeping it lower on rest days?

    I've just started weight training and I'm currently in my fourth week.

    I started on 182lbs and I'm currently 183lbs. An increase of 1lbs. I've been eating 3000 calories a day with a 3 day split.

    I spent a lot of time entering my details into calculators and reading other information but after spending some time with my diet and even though it's only the 4th week, I know I need to increase my intake to around 3300-3500.

    Anyways, I'd recommend just starting on 3000 and seeing how that works out for you.
