Hello /fit/, Muslim here. So Ramadan is coming up, and I'm worried about how this is going to affect my gains since I'm trying to bulk up at the moment. For those of you who don't know, during Ramadan you fast for 30 days from sunrise until sunset. What I plan on doing is going to the gym before sunset so I can break my fast as soon as I get home.

Now I'm worried because I need to eat 3500 calories a day, and if I'm fasting all day not only will I not be able to split my meals, but I also can't guarantee that I'll be able to eat enough. How exactly will this affect my gains, and is there anything that I can do to help offset this? Will it be alright if I get the all the calories and whatnot that I need even if I eat them all at night? Thanks.

lol fellow muslimfag here, I actually lost weight last Ramadan. Granted it was my first year of college and I used the new environment to change my eating habits. I also was busy all day with a spread out schedule of classes. I guess I just got lucky. Anyway, just try not to eat much.

Sleep during the day. That way you eat all your meals at night. You basically do this already, but in reverse.

I basically fast from (a few hours past) sundown to (a few hours past) sunup.

I think it's a shame that you feel the need to cheat on your religious beliefs.

i think what he means is he just slept during the day so not eating during the day wouldnt bother him.

how can every man get 40 virgins just for him? the male/female birth rate is almost equal.

Yeah, that's definetly cheating. The whole fucking point of fasting for 30 days is that it's a test from Allah. To show strength in belief of Allah. Not to fucking cheat the system and get around the problem in the most painless way posssible.

my atheism bias is obvious, but surely, you gotta see the pattern of the cultural norms islam implies.. dont eat pig? yeah pigs used to eat shit, but they dont get to anymore.. wash your dick? yeah, not all did that in jesustimes, so good advice, but our sanitatory conditions have changed since then..
anyway, my point was just that you should really try being a liberal muslim (fuck what your parents learnt you)

If you really want to meet your caloric quota you can always use weight gaining supplements like Heavyweight Gainer 900

Hey, also a muslim here, but i've decided not to fast.
When you fast your body goes into starvation mode, so it hordes all the fat it can and stores it. Even tho you technically eat less during ramadan(well most people do) you'll convert more of it to fat than usual

You're best bet is not to bluk up for 30 days, try and maintain your weight. You'll most likely gain/loose weight tho so try and keep a balanced and CONSISTENT diet. If your eating the same sort of things each day you'll be able to alter your diet easier if you find your loosing/gaining weight

tl:dr - dont even try to bulk up, maintain your weight for 30 days

Look up intermittent fasting. There's nothing wrong with not eating for most of the day, and you can still gain weight well. You just gotta get used to eating a lot in a relatively short period of time.

Olive oil will give you fucking 1900 calories in an eight ounce glass. Dan John's a fan of it as a weight gainer.
