When you're bulking, are you supposed to increase your calories by 500 kcal every time your bodyweight stops increasing? Or are you supposed to increase your calories every day? For example 3000 kcal today, 3050 kcal tomorrow, 3100 kcal the day after tomorrow and so on?

What do you think bro? Really just stop for a second and use your noggin.

>He doesn't increase his caloric intake to infinity.
Never gonna make it.

Idiot, answer the question. I've asked this rephrased about 10 times and never get an answer.
You're both idiots. If you eat the same calorie amount every day you reach a new TDEE so your body weight stops increasing. If you wait until your bodyweight stalls before you increase the calories your weight gain will be fluctuating. If instead you increase your calories by a small amount every day you might be able to keep a steady pace of weight gain. Pic related shows how my weight gain fluctuated while eating the same amount of calories every day. I've now begun to instead increase my calories by 50 kcal every day. If I gain weight too fast I will decrease it to for example 30 kcal/day, if I gain weight too slowly I will increase it to for example 80 kcal/day.

+500kcal a day
when i hit 50000kcal a day i start cutting

this is exactly why i fucking hate bulking. you find the willpower to stuff your face with more food only to find out in 3 weeks its no longer enough

CAN WE STOP TALKING ABOUT CALORIES PLEASE, OR DO WE ALWAYS HAVE TO ASSUME THESE CALORIES ARE CLEAN AND/OR PROTEIN BASED?

INCREASE YOUR LEAN PROTEIN/CARBS/FATS TO THE POINT WHERE YOUR GAINS OUTWEIGH YOUR FAT GAIN, BUT INCREASE YOUR MUSCLE GROWTH, THAT IS IF LOOKING LEAN WHILE YOU BULK IS YOUR GOAL.

YOU'D HAVE TO DO SOME EXPERIMENTATION YOURSELF TO FIND OUT HOW MUCH YOU NEED TO ADD. I'M NOT A PERSONAL TRAINER SO MY GENERAL ADVICE WOULD BE TO ADD HALF A MEAL/DAY EVERY TWO WEEKS

still didn't answer the question

OH YEA, THIS ADVICE IS OF COURSE ASSUMING YOU HAVE PROGRESSIVE OVERLOAD

How fucking dumb are you? Still didn't answer the fucking question, still didn't address the fucking topic.

you need to get up the staircase. you can take it one step at a time, two steps, 4 steps, jump the whole fucking thing. in the end you need to get up the staircase.

dont be a fucking brainlet

AND NOW I'M OUTTA HERE

No, it does matter, because if you increase your calories only after you got a new TDEE your bodyweight will fluctuate, you'll gain weight for a while and then your bodyweight will stall. And in my experience when your bodyweight stalls you stall at the gym. It doesn't seem like a good idea to let the pace of bodyweight gain fluctuate causing you to alternate between periods of progress in the gym and periods of getting stuck. Instead of waiting for your bodyweight to stall and then increase the calories, it seems like a better method to increase the calories every day, and if you gain weight too fast you decrease the amount of calories you add every day, and if you gain weight too slowly you increase the amount of calories you add every day.

>your bodyweight will fluctuate
I meant the pace of your weight gain will fluctuate

bump

nothing but fucking retards on this board

your question already has an answer you chimp. you can fidget with your rate of change all you want, in the end you still only need x amount of total calories to reach your goal weight. obviously the slower you go the better the muscle mass to fat ratio is when you reach your goal weight

you dumb fucking subhuman brainlet

You’re legitimately retarded, aren’t you?

You're the idiot.
>obviously the slower you go the better the muscle mass to fat ratio is when you reach your goal weight
That has fuckall to do with the topic.
>you can fidget with your rate of change all you want, in the end you still only need x amount of total calories to reach your goal weight.
As I said it matters. Because in one case the rate of weight change fluctuates, in the other you could possibly attain a relatively stable pace of weight change. If you alternate between periods of weight gain and steady weight, you'll alternate between periods of progress in the gym and periods of stalling in the gym.

>dodges the question by throwing out an ad hominem

RETARDS

calculate TDEE, eat +500, if you feel that your weight gain is stagnating, re-calculate TDEE and add +500 to that again.
