I lost 15 POUNDS from a cold??!


Question: I can't believe it. I had been working so hard to gain muscle mass. I was 5'8 and 150 pounds,but after having a bad cold for two weeks and not eating well, I dropped to 135 pounds. Before, my arm size was over 13 inches now its 12 inches. I am feeling much better now and I plan on working out again and eating a bunch tomorrow. This is my diet. How long do you think it will take for me to gain it back?

Breakfast: 3 pancakes, two eggs, orange juice. (700 calories)

Snack: Protein bar. (270 calories)

Lunch: Philly Cheese Steak sub with fries. (650 calories)

Snack: Peanut butter and jelly sandwich. (250 calories)

Post Workout: Protein shake. (250 calories)

Dinner: Whatever my mom makes. (roughly 600 calories)

Before bed: Muscle Milk shake. (700 calories)

This is about 3,500 calories and over 150 grams of protein

So, roughly how long should it take?

Next time will you send me your cold instead? I would think a month or 6 weeks of your calorie intake would do the trick. Not too much cardiovascular workout because you will burn the calories off.
