another reason NOT to eat the junk food at work

Yes, but it is not as pronounced as the effect from a diuretic. I'm using a little lasix currently to keep me from bloating so much from my high sodium intake on my clean bulking phase right now. Anyway, my blood pressure goes up when I bulk so it serves two purposes.

Just to ask....Why so much sodium while you're bulking? Bulking is just to add as much LBM as possible while keeping the bf low?

The sodium is not necissarily by choice. Its very hard to keep my sodium intake low when on over 5000 calories a day. Even meat with no added sodium adds up quickly. 300 mg per ibs, and I eat 5 ibs a day. Then my salid dressing for the huge salids I make. If I eat natural peanut butter of cheese, those quickly add to the total as well. A clean bulk is what I'm doing, yes it is to add as much lbm as possible while keeping bf gains a minimum. Most guys just do regular bulks. Eat whatever it takes, and they gain alot of fat. Go the training board, where they talk about "swaining" as they call it there. They all laugh about how fat they are right now. I much prefer a clean bulk.

Jenscats, I got very lean on a clean diet and did not require the use of thermos, diuretics, or steroids.

Right, diuretics of course don't help with leaness, and steroids are not a requirement either. It is highly debated if they even aid in fat loss at all. As spatts said, the key is really one's diet. Its the number one factor in how much bodyfat you gain or lose.
