If u are lifting hard than u will be able to eat everything in sight w/o turning into a fat ass. How many cal's do u currently consume?

At the moment im trying to get in about 1500 calories, and im on creatine.

you are joking right? . If 1500 keeps you at 215 pounds than i would say your metabolism is very slow. I find this pretty hard to believe if u r even somewhat active and lifting hard. If you r trying to bulk start out doubling your cal's to 3k/day and go from there. give this a month and c where u r at.

1500 calories and youre bulking??!!! 1500 calories is even too low for dieting levels.

At 215 you should be taking in about 16-20 calories per pound of bodyweight, or about 3500-4200 calories.

 

[j2em]

yeah my strength level keeps increasing but my bulking does not....at 1500-2000 calories a day its added 15 pounds so far, but from what everyones saying a good 3-4 thousand calories a day....wow, i should be fucking huge by the time im done, now i gota start concentrating on eating a lot more, lifting will now be the easier part, lol. Anyhow, thanks a lot for your input, its deffinately appreciated. Thanks

 

[j2em]

dieting levels.....calories>??

during dieting and cutting, what would be considered a good and healthy amount of calories to consume per day.?

 

[Bob Smith]

Dude, how are you figuring your calorie intake? Theres no way in hell you added 15 pounds while only eating 1500-2k calories a day. Somewhere you are missing about 2500 cals/day.

 

[Jeremy88]

hey man

i weigh 165....and im bringing in over 5k calories, 250+ grams of protein a day, for your weight, id say over 6 or 7k calories, workout hard, dedicate a solid month, you'll get crazy results........

I don't agree with the eat anything approach either, try to eat clean, fast food is the worst.

i think my eat anything probably is being taken out of context. there are obviously things he should not eat. i expect him to know that. my point is not to worry about cal's. eat as much as possible. like bs said, u r missing some cal's if u added that much weight w/1500-2k cals. no way. as for the 5-7k cals. everyone is different. right now that is too many for u imo

Something in the math is a little screwy here. You are gaining weight at 215 consuming around 2000 calories? When I diet NATURALLY and I'm down to 215, I am still taking in close to if not slightly over 3k.

With your height/weight bulking should be at least 3500/day...of GOOD calories. (Anybody can crack 3500 calories on big macs and whoppers. Don't go that route if you don;t want to get fat.)

Good luck man!!

#1, you're already eating 3500-4500 calories per day, you don't understand gm/cal conversion or something. You cannot gain 15 lbs on 1500 cal per day unless you're from Jupiter.



#2, I've eat like shit (steaks, spuds with a little butter, boxes of cereal at a time, sub sandwiches, hamburgers, spaghetti loaded with sauce, etc) when I bulk, but because my workouts are so intense and long I burn a SHITLOAD of cals so I don't really see it. Now, I am not suggesting to eat snickers, cake and pie but you can get away with a little dirty food - that's why bulking is the fun diet right?
