Since I was called out for not posting in the Fitness Forum lately.... 
I have been having issues with my sciatic the past few weeks which has kept me out of the gym. Although I haven't been working out regularly, I haven't changed my clean eating habits. I'm still hovering between 196 and 200. Hopefully after a few more therapy sessions, (massage and acupuncture) I can get back in the gym again.

This next week will be very tricky. I've slacked on diet over the past 5 days and we'll be away from home for much of the coming long weekend. I hope a 50 mile bike ride on Wed will mitigate some of the damage, and I'll either run or bring my singlespeed to our friends' beachhouse on Saturday, but that won't change how much grilled meat will be served over the weekend.

If you're taking a mini vacation then eat whatever the hell you want man. That's what I did this past weekend and I would have not been nearly as happy if I stuck to my diet. Yeah, I'm pissed I gained a bunch of weight but I had a blast drinking and eating burgers, ribs and french fries every day. Just make sure that when the weekend is over, so is the shitty diet. I ate 1300 net calorie today. It sucked, but I'm back on my routine. Tomorrow will be 1500 total cal. It will suck even more.
Edit: Realize that this is a permanent life style change. You need to find, and reach a weight range that you will stay at the rest of your life. You can't be a diet nazi every single day for the rest of your life. Well....I guess you can but why would you? You can be healthy and still eat like total garbage every now and then. The problem most of us here have is it stopped being a treat. Smashing a 20pc McNugget, and large fry became normal. Eating ribs coated in sugary BBQ sauce became routine. Our portions and guts got bigger. Avoid that shit, keep portions small, keep the calorie count low for most(90+%) of your life and you will be good.
This way you can go out a few weekends in the summer and get drunk and merry off rum and bacon cheeseburgers. You can do it, and not worry about a stroke or losing a foot to diabetes because you keep your shit in order the rest of the year.

I'm eating anywhere from 6,000-11,000mg a day. Everything I eat is loaded with salt.
Start cooking for yourself so you can control you sodium intake. That's not only insane, it's dangerous.
Anyway, I was 188.25 this morning after yesterday's 62 mile ride. I'm not getting attached to that number because of this coming long weekend of cookouts.

I'm puzzled by it. There HAS to be a way to build it up--my knee-jerk thought would be to do more chest exercises. I dunno. Talk to a good trainer to see what can be done.
I know you're a strict constitutionalist in terms of SS, but it seems like some action outside of the box needs to happen.

I did my own Fit 2 Fat 2 Fit thing. Just wanted to experiment a little bit to see exactly what happens when you eat over maintenance, regardless of activity level.
Starting point, last November, 168-172 lbs:
I didn't change my activity level. Still played soccer at least 5 times a week, and three times per week lifting at th gym. This is what happened after 6 months of that, even busting my ass on every single workout and every single game. And lifting numbers? No rate of progress change or additional muscle built despite all the excess calories, and plenty of protein.
This is as far as I could take it. Couldn't stand the sight of myself any longer, so I had to put an end to this little experiment with a QUICKNESS. @196 lbs:
So, a month ago, I tightened up the diet, and this was last night @182:
I figure I'm about two weeks out from being back to exactly where I was in November. About damn time.
So, the moral of the story is: you can't out train a bad diet. And surplus calories don't necessarily mean you will build more muscle or get stronger. I wasn't any stronger at 196 than I was at 172 or am right now. Really, all it does is put you through an unnecessary yo-yo in weight. Leangains for life, yo. Now that I've done this, there is zero reason for me to ever consider a bulking cycle ever again. It's not worth it.
