When doing a bulking cycle is there such a thing as eating too much?
My diet is super clean as I don't have a love loss with junk food except pizza. However I've learned to live with less.
I'm currently bulking and getting ready to cycle. Now my diet looks like this:
35% protien, 50% carbs and 15% fat. at roughly 4500-5000cal per day.
This will be my first cycle and want to grow well! Should I eat more or as much as posible?
We need to know your stats before we can accurately tell you how much you nee to eat. Generally though 25kcal/lb each day is good for bulking but if you're a little on the fat side then I would opt for lower calories.
I heard that its 2 grams of protien to every pound.
200 pounds
400 grams protein.
Is this correct?
:wg:
Ando, that is what I heard as well! 2 grams per pound
I heard 1.5 per pound
I also read that most americans get too much protein from there eating habits but the protein comes a lot of fatty foods.
anywhere between 1.5-2 grams per lb of bodyweight is fine
As far as the 1st question goes...IMO i say bulk while ur bulkin..eat like a horse...worry about cutting calories and all when its time to do a cutting cycle
I agree with D3m3nt3d.
When you bulk, all you need to worry about is 4 things:
1. Getting enough protien
2. Getting enough calories
3. Getting all your vitamins and minerals
4. Drinking a lot of water
I think cutting or bulking you need to make sure you get all 4 of those regardless.Quote:

Agreed

I have been eating pretty damn clean too. I would guess bf to still be at ~15%. Give me 4 or 5 more months and I'll be in the 200lb class - To stay!!
We can do it xplicit!! Look at all of the knowledge we are surrounded by! The part about being over 6' though, I think we are screwed. Oh well, we have to take what the good man gave us and be happy.

I just finished my workout and told my trainer I was taking 600 grams of protein and he just about sh*t. He said to stop doing so much. He said the doc told him its bad on the kidneys and liver at that level. 210 lbs yeah I finally made 210. :D . Anyway another trainer was listening and they both said that its the lean body mass to work with
for example:
bf at 15%
.15 * 210 = 31.5
210-31.5 = 178.5
178.5 * 1.7 = 303 grams of protein.
Also said that since my diet is so clean and I am eating really good I might only need to do a protien drink after work out.
Any opinions on this I welcome. :o
Shit andro, I don't know if it's good for you or not, I just don't know how in the hell you get to 600! That's amazing bro! I give everything I have towards eating enough (seems harder than my workouts sometimes!) to get to 300 grams. I need to talk with you sometime about how you are doing it - and doing cleanly, I'm impressed. 210 lbs?! You got 20 lbs on me bro. I'll catch ya - lol. Sooner or later. That shows what a good diet does for you though. Keep it up my friend!
peace,

I hope i get to 180 after this cycle thenQuote:
