I've used the powerbar brand before and that's been solid for pull ups (depending on the door frame obviously!).

There seems to a PowerBar 2 out that has some extra things so you don't damage the door frame:

This question is not really possible to answer, as you have not stated your weight. Your weight is a key aspect for determining your probable metabolic rate. 2,200 calories sounds low to me, and is the sort of surplus I'd usually recommend for a highly active 58kg (or so) woman. I'd imagine you are larger than that, maybe not.

Looking at government guidelines, the MAINTENANCE of your average height and weight male is suggested to be around 2,500 and a woman's as 2,000. Yeah, I know, what the hell do the government know... BUT it's actually not that simple. These figures (2k for an average woman, 2.5k for a man) are in fact based on data gathered by the nutritional board and there is some truth to them.

If you find yourself "gaining weight on 2,200", I would not be surprised if your calorie counting is simply off. You are likely consuming more than you believe. I just don't think you could possibly gain many kilos in a short period of time on a mere 2,200. You seem to be suggesting continual weight gain.

Thank you for the reply Pete. I will just have to monitor it and see how it goes. Up calories over time. At the moment I am eating as much physical food as I can, only way to get more in would be via liquids.
