(7 day avg 169.6 ^ .2) Okay. I may have a handle on this. I'll wait it out until Sunday and then likely slip back 100 cals to 2700. It's looking like the gain is about 1.5 pounds a week. A little high for my tastes. Granted today is only one day at 170.4, but the trend is ever upward, which is fine, but it's just a little concerning after a one year weight loss. If you have the time, you may get a kick out of this little story I wrote regarding a discovery of a type of food... dextrose. <a href="http://fatsecret.com/Community.aspx?pa=fp&t=105145">The Quest for Dextrose.</a> If you have a discovery about a particular food, candy, or treat, please continue this forum. :) Hope everyone's having a great day.

Gaining 1.3 kg a Week

I think you're doing fine as-is personally. 100 calories can make more of a difference than you want, shoot 20 calories can make a difference. Just remember, in a few weeks you will have more muscle mass and your weight gain will slow down. Eventually you will have to ADD calories, not take them away. Over the past 12 weeks I averaged only .7 lbs/week (AVG. over the full 12 weeks, not including this weeks weigh-in) on a 3000+ cal diet!
I did do a lot of heavy sets in the 6-8 (usually 6 reps due to failure) rep range the whole time, which I'm sure played a role.
I would do at least a 4 week trial before adjusting. Trust your body to do the right thing!

My initial weight gain was 1.2-1.3 lbs. per week I might add. It slows down significantly.

I was just thinking about this. Like the weight loss. When a bunch of fat is gone you don't need as many calories to maintain, so to lose you have to cut the calories harder. Just... my tendency is to micro-manage. It didn't work in the weight loss, why would it work here.

Micro-managing is fine when bulking, but your trial time needs to be longer, that's all :).
Once you gain the muscle, losing weight gets easier as well (or so I've heard)
