Bulking.....How clean do you eat?

[Legion Kreinak2]

You're gonna have to eat clean. Even then, you'll still gain some fat, I believe.

Add some cheat days in, but try and make the rest of your diet up of clean food.

This topic has been addressed for years nonstop on the diet board.

If you are putting on muscle, your going to put on fat too. You require an overabundance of nutrients to grow. Much of it depends on the person (metabolism) and how advanced they already are and if they are 'on'.

I notice I put on more muscle and less fat if I get most of my eating in within the first 6 hours after workong out. Post workout shakes should be loaded to the gils with dextrose and light easily digested protiens. 1 right after, another 1 hour later then 1 hour after that get your eats on. Rest days you can back off the carbs.

Don't mistake a little carb bloat as fat.

Buff-
I think I got my bulking diet down cold. Been gaining about one pound a week, sometimes I eat more than usual and tank up water, but so far I haven't gained much chub at all. You can always try cycling calories if you want to avoid fat gain.

 

[lemur]

i eat everything except candy, chips, and shit like bacon (unless it's on a double bacon cheeseburger...mmm).

hell, i even have chips once every week or two.

in the past few months, i have put on 10lbs of LEAN muscle. I have eaten chinese food at least 10 times, fast food burgers at least 10 times (arbys as well), and pizza 5 or 6 times.

other than that, it's been oatmeal, smokies, burgers (made from the cow we bought), roast (ditto), weight gainer, and AT LEAST 15 t bone steaks.


i love my teenage metabolism.

[louden_swain]

I will be eating a lot of pizza this weekend.

Of course, this will be after I train legs .

 

[Welsh power house]

When i want to bulk up i just eat anything really, no rules, no restrictions. Sweets, cookies, pizza, mcdonalds, ice cream, cake, pies, donuts, chips ect ect..........

im serious, i know along side the stuff thats been mentioned it looks stupid but i find that if you want to bulk up and add strength/muscle then you have to eat like a freakin horse!
Obviously try and eat as much healthy foods as possible, but also get the calories up with the 'junk foods'.

I have a fast metabolism and can get away with eating pretty much what i want without getting fat so this method of just getting any food down me works very well when bulking.
