every person is different you have to find what works for you in terms of bulking and cutting some need 4K plus to bulk other gain well on 3K, monitor yourself bud

ALEX H mate that is far to general and does not apply to all!! You can have test doen that monitor your basal metobolic rate believe me people vary greatly!!

If you need to add more cals eat all natural peanut butter. I have people do this all the time.

Would that caclulation work for all body types...meaning if you gain fat easily or weight fairly easy..would that be a good way to go ..for instance im at 200lbs right now based off the calculation i would need to eat less then 3400 cals to cut and more to grow...or 3400 to maintain...if i ate 3400 i would blow up...im on a cycle right now and eating close to 3000 and growing...

Blowing up is good right?

Just think this out for a second, if your growing on 3,000 calories - imagine what would happen by adding 1,000 more clean calories.

If your "growing" off of barely 3,000 calories then you are very blessed or lucky. Do you plan on cyclying non-stop year round. Do you want to grow when your off juice?

MORE CALORIES = BIGGER MUSCLES. Very simple equation.

bros lika alex h said, if you cant eat more than 3000 cals a day than bbing is not your thing. i eat something like 5973 cals a day when im bulking and its all fairly clean. and i dont drink MRPs or whey protein. i eat tuna, chicken, lots of steak, rice, pasta... and sometimes i'll eat subway or mcdonalds, but not more than 1 meal of junk food per day. ye it gets annoying and repedetive and sometimes you feel sick from eating but hey like i meantioned before, if you cant handle that then bbing is not your thing.

I agree that bodies are different and some react to calorie intake differently. The 17 rule is general but it is fairly accurate. If bros want to spend the money and time to have a damn test done to "monitor your metobolic rate" then go for it. Im just a simple guy. When I read something Milos Sarcev says I generally believe it. I mean hell, he is the one that makes $120 for 15 minutes on the phone. Don't believe me? Check it out:

Damn, never thought it would be so friggn hard. I did the calcualtions to a tee and it came to about 3,900 to bulk clean. Have a very hard time believing that since my cardio is now just stationary bike for 40 mins 3x a week and training is 5x a week....job is in an office, so i sit all day. Plus, I'm about 6'2, 175 and 8-9%. So, I was going to start at 3,000 but it's rough. This week especially, since I've been off on vaction. Training daily, but only getting in a few meals. For example, I rode this am, had breakfast, and lunch at noon. I'll go train at 2pm, have a shake and then a meal.......then maybe some wine and have a night shake, but the cals have to be on the low end....tips or tricks? If you feel yourself falling short, is it kosher to add in the excess carbs late night or bad idea?

A quick tip I use is to make a "homemade" weight gainer and sip on it throughout the day. An idea, I use this blend, but you can do your own, is protein of your choice, oats, peanut butter, piece of fruit like a banana, and add heavy cream for added calories. Use the proper amount of fluids to make it drinkable, whether milk or water, I sometimes use half of each.

Sip on this throughout the day, have some for instance after finishing each meal, or any time. Quick way to add in extra calories.

I always thought it was bad to eat more than every 2 hours minium....like in the am, I'll have 3/4 cup oats and a cup of egg whites, some skim and coffee and a scoop of whey....I'm hungry 1hr later......then I eat 6oz beef, stir fry, and a 5oz yam with a huge salad and go train.....I have some yogurt and whey and a banana pw, a tuna pack with green beans and a salad 1 hr later and I'm stuffed.....is tht 2,000 cals?
