How much does sugar effect fat gain????

[tommboy]

Does sugar really add fat if your trying to bulk? IM trying to get atleast a 50 percent muscle 50 percent fat bulk. How much will lik 5-10 grams of sugar each meal affect my fat gains? Will it make me a big fat slob or is it just if u eat tons of them all the time that will make your gains all fatty.

Eating sugar with your meals will dramatically increase the insulin release and thus cause you to store more body fat, especially if you are eating fat in the same meal.

I also have a sweet tooth, so my advice would be to buy a natural, non-caloric product called stevia to sweeten your food and stop the cravings.

are you talking about added sugars or the sugars found naturally in some foods? how bout an example.

a small amount of sugar (like the amount in ketchup or other sauces) wouldn't be a big deal. You use a limited amount and there wouldn't be a dramatic insulin spike.

I wouldn't eat a pint of icecream or anything though.

Sugar is the worst thing you can do. Switch sugars with 1/2 unsaturated fats cals and you should be good
