Analysis
Nearly 500 more calories a day and over 200g/protein, and still the needle didn't move. I think in order to gain I'm going to have to go over 3500 cal/day. It's difficult to push the protein and fat without pushing the carbs up too, though. I could definitely still be better about my morning toast and the Builder bars, though.

Looking Forward
I'm torn. I think I would really like to get my waist down to 32". It seems an attainable goal, one that shouldn't be far off. However, the weights are getting heavy in my 5x5's, and I could really use some more muscle to keep pace, or else I'm going to stall out. So which is it? Drop that last .5" off my stomach, or add another 500 cal/day into the mix to try and get the weight to go back up again?

Maybe I can do both, if I can get the carbs down to 150g/day. OK, so this week I resolve to keep my protein up over 200g/day, but drop the carbs. Don't really know the best way to cut that, though - toast is only 18g, a builder bar is 26g... a LOT of my carbs are coming from milk, which I don't really want to give up. The rest are coming from beans, mainly - weekly burrito, chili, etc. Guess I'll just do the best I can.
