RULE #1: CALORIES COUNT
When it comes to packing on the pounds, it’s vital that you become a dedicated calorie counter. Regardless of whether the food you’re eating is in the form of protein, carbs or fat, your body first considers them for the fuel they provide to perform basic physiological functions, such as body temperature regulation, muscle repair and even the digestion of food.
If you’re a hardcore bodybuilder who trains at least an hour a day, your body will require 19-20 calories per pound of bodyweight on training days, and that’s just to maintain the muscle you have. You actually need to eat about two or three calories per pound of bodyweight more than this (21-23 calories) to gain mass. On rest days, you’ll need about 16-18 calories per pound of bodyweight to maintain your muscle mass. Sticking with that will ensure that you gain lean muscle without excess bodyfat on rest days.
