don't be scared of getting fat is the number one thing./ ofc your going to gain fat. to try and explain, your muscles have small muscle fuel cells, which feed energy into your muscles when u use them. when ur bulking, ur filling these up to the point of overflow(hence water retention and stuff), this is when u gain fat. so unless ur a scientist and u can calculate to the exact calorie what u need to bulk without like any fat gain, then u are going to gain fat.. but dont worry cos then you easily cut.. you can limit yourself to carb/fat intake but, whatever, keep it to healthy fats and carbs and u be reeeeeet.

2nd thing. relating to the first subject, people think they're little old bodybuilders eating chicken and rice all day, that is expensive, and retarded, thats too clean for bulking really, you need more calorie dense food. i have a shopping list for you people who can't afford much and want to bulk.

3rd thing. dont be that stupid thick cunt who shops in co-op and sainsburies, literally 2.5x cost of every other shop.

4th thing. they say that 1.5g per 1KG of bodyweight should suffice for decent muscle gain, e.g if you weigh 75kg, aim for at least 112.5g protein a day, 200g is easy to achieve though.

5th thing. NO SUCH THING AS HARD GAINERS, JUST UNDEREATERS.

this thread is for british people, if ur american / 4n go to a WALMART or wholesalers, whatever you have.

i may have forgot some things on this list, if u people would like to add something, then reply with some nice/good items that r cheap to bulk on.

forgot to add, pasta at morrisons is 17pence per 500 grams, whereas at co-op its 1 quid for 500g.

just another thing, you make it easy on yourself, dont cry about it being so hard. TRY HARDER AND IT'LL BE EASIER.

Sound advice there.

Though personally I have always gone for 1g of protein per lbs of bodyweight. For example, 150lbs = 150grams. Has served me well thus far, but I'm no nutritionist.

500 seems a lot, its widely agreed among many nutritionists that if protein is making up over 30% of your daily intake it can be quite unhealthy on the kidneys. But then again a lot of that research is divided in terms of opinion because a lot of the data and statistics are messed up with stupid fucking anorexic girls and stuff who live on next to zero calories on a ketogenic diet. So I dont know, might be worth reading up on more.

brown rice has loads of calories. but yh good topic, annoys me a lot when new gym goers don't want to bulk properly because they are afraid of losing their scrawny mug abs for a few months.

everyone needs to make sure they cycle bulking/cutting, not just think theyll do a happy medium and gain alot of muscle but stay ultra cut at the same time, doesn't work like that.

thats still cycling ;p

its the people that dont "bulk" they just maintain their average calorie intake but include more protein or w.e. they r the ones that will get slow gains compared to eating a good amount more calories than an average person

correct me if i'm wrong, but from what i've heard you're body only takes in the amount of protein it actually needs. When you take more protein then your body needs at that moment, the rest will just be lost and i think you will eventually just piss it out. It's true that someone who lifts automatically needs more protein for his muscles to recover, then a person who doesn't lift or do sports at all.

^Btw what I just said was not about the topic bulking, just about your protein intake when building muscle.

dont eat it all in 1 go then.. spread it throughout the day jefferson.

there is also about a 1 hour window after workout where ur body will absorb just about everything so u can have as big a shake as u want and some food.

na that 40g of protein per session or w.e rule is complete bollocks, you don't just piss it out. and people always go on about the benefit of eating every 3 hours instead of bigger meals and longer intervals which is mostly nonsense. apart from the obvious needed hit of nutrients post workout, its all about hitting the macro's / desired calorie intake, with the timing of little importance
