I would rather look cut and slowly getting bigger for the whole year then look cut for 6 months and a fat ass for the other 6 months.
Excess eating does not correlate with increase muscle mass, if you want bigger muscles you have to put in the time inside the gym and if you want your physique to display your gains a clean diet is a must. Unless you are just starting muscle mass is quite difficult to put on (2-5lbs/ YEAR) naturally. If you are taking T the rules don't apply.
