4) Bulking doesn’t mean stuffing your face every day
When guys want to bulk up, they think they need to eat a lot more food and protein. And this is generally true.
But where most guys get it wrong is that they always overdo it and eat much more than needed.
Look, you probably don’t need to eat 5000 calories per day to gain weight. For those starting out, I would use the following formula:
Daily calorie intake to gain muscle = your BW in pounds * 16-18 cals per day.
You can make incremental adjustments by adding 200 calories per week if you aren’t seeing results.
