how many calories do you eat when bulking or cutting?

[Gumaro]

when youre doing either a bulking cycle or a cutting cycle, how many calories do you consume? i've been using my bodyweight x 10-12 for cutting and x 15 for bulking. i was recommended once to eat 4kcals when bulking but i just felt bloated and slow so i couldnt keep up with eating that many calories.

well i am 215 now and eat 4400 bulking and about 2200 cutting. so cutting is x11 and bulking x20... everyone is different depends on metabolism.

bw x 12 is BMR, your AMR is usually weight x 13-15 for most people.

for bulking you should go weight x 18 or x 20 in the extreme cases
