My bulking diet

[van_wilder]

i agree with that, but man its tough bein poor in college and trying to cook for yourself. i mean i eat a lot of tuna, chicken, turkey sandwhiches and what not, but pretty much i just eat what i can and a lot of it. it doesn't seem to work to bad. i've gone from being a skinny kid to decent size within few years, and my lifting partner has done the same and he eats like hell and i'd say he is still 8% bf and thats a high estimate, we just sit down and eat anything that comes out way. i was just curious if anyone else felt this way, but it seems that most people on this board count calories, protein, carbs, etc.

i doubt he's at 8% if this is his diet... if he is then he is a genetic freak... I don't think many people understand how low single digits are... but this is a whole different issue that has been done to death on this board.

I also believe some people can get away with this especially while younger while their metabolism is still really fast... and this may be fine if you just can't get in enough cals to grow, but why not bulk "clean" and minimize the cutting you'll have to do later?

Finally... i've found it to be cheaper to eat the way i do... junk food can get pretty pricey... my food bill is lot because of the amount, but if i was eating the same amount of junk food i'd bet it'd be more!

You can still eat "clean" if you're cooking for yourself in college. I know lots of people that do it. If you can get away with eating whatever you want I say go for it, but don't use school as an excuse.

I'd say there's 2 main reasons people count calories:

1) A lot of people aren't blessed with the metabolism you are and can't afford to eat whatever they please.

2) It's the only way you'll ever be able to accurately fix your diet if things stop working.

This is something most people fail to realize and is why I can't stand the excuse of "I'm poor so I can't eat clean".

i'm not making excuses. and i don't really care to be honest. if u want real excuses its 1. i don't like to shop 2. i don't like to cook 3. i don't like to clean shit after i cook. i was just wondering there were other bros that ust tried to eat a lot without being so precise all the time. on top of that i don't want to be a pro bb. i got into this game with the intentions of trying to get big and strong. i started at 160 with a six pack benching like 225. now i'm 210 or so hanging on to the top four abs and bench 340. i'm not trying to start arguments and i know my diet isn't the best by any means. i just know that it was hard for me to gain weight unless i just ate everything in my site. if i had a great diet, results would have been better, but hey i'm not complaining

SOme take bodybuilding to different levels and everyone is different.,....me? I enjoy cooking, I enjoy shopping for different foods, etc. I have cheated in years, no fast food in over 7...........you get my point. I'm going to start a bulking plan where I'm stict as hell M-F and then free up Friday night - Sunday to where as long as there is protein in the meal, I'll have it. It's about living life. I want to look good yet have fun. WIn WIn.

Well, those were some of the first things out of Mr. X's mouth when he advised me the first day I joined this board. Kurtz please explain to me why carbs are essential at night? I used the clock to give a better perception of when I cut mine since knowone knows what time I go to sleep.
