Eating Big -

**SaintGJR7** · 01-26-2007, 02:13 PM

Evening fellas and females -

Im going to get bulking soon - at the moment im around 9% bf at about 176 pounds around 6ft in height.

Just wanted you guys' take on this please - i normally like to eat big, all clean mind you - lots of clean carbs, proteins, healthy fats, etc... - my diet is really good but just wondered how big you guys eat.

I dont really mind putting on a little fat as thats part of bulking - and i havent bulked for a while and i just have that feeling - you know - the one where you want to up calories as you feel like eating more.

Would be great to hear you guys' views.

I dont know really - dont like taking my own advice - just trying to see how much you guys eat. Like i say - it will all be clean calories.

You'll put on some fat, but you'll definitely gain, IMO. I'm similar size to you and have been steadily adding at around 3300 cals, but I've positively been adding fat.

I just get discouraged if I don't see results in the form of scale/pictures so I'd rather eat too much than not enough. finding the perfect amount is tough... though I'm sure I will get it with time.

True - good thing about starting with lower bf though. I would rather eat big and more than actually what i need but gain at the same time - rather than limit what i could gain by eating too few calories.
