McDonalds for bulking???

[ZGzaZ]

Do you guys ever goto McDonalds while bulking? I understand its all very high in saturated fat, but are calories calories?? I get maybe 1-2 meals a week there, and am wondering if I shouldnt...mostly because of time constraints.

Even while bulking you should still eat clean. Calories aren't calories .

damn!! there goes my double quarter pounders... thanks alot dragon! (j/k)

so double quarter pounders are not worth it even with close to 46 grams protein?

jolly, im not sure i understand what youre saying...

I suppose...there's just no benefit from it. I still eat double quarter pounders but I try to limit it, and if I do I eat it directly after lifting. There's more than 40 g of protein in a double quarter pounder . There's like 31 in a regular quarter pounder with cheese. Just watch out for mad cow...but hey man...eating mcdonalds is a way to grow without saying that YOU took steroids . Just becareful not to get a belly or clog up your arteries.

Anything can be okay in moderation. That just proves less so when trying to cut. When you bulk, you can get away with it. I wouldn't use McDonald's as your main source of calories for bulking, however.

What other kind of foods do you guys eat when you bulk? I have trouble hitting my 3500-4000 cal/day. I eat ALOT of tuna, chicken, bread, potatoes, etc. but i still fall short pretty regularly unless i throw in something thats super high calorie like a mc deez double quarter.

You should really try and avoid doing that. If it is an emergency-type thing that only happens infrequently, I don't see it as a major issue.
