>scared to bulk after losing 40 pounds what do

I've been there. Took a few years to realize that I wouldn't get gains if I kept being afraid

Besides, now you know how to lose weight, so it'll be easy to cut again

does bulking actually work

>does eating more to build muscle work

>>38568207
Start with a small caloric surplus. Like, 500.
That's only to help you overcome your fear, though, you just need to realize that you won't build any muscle if you're not getting enough calories.

Eat mostly clean at a surplus senpai. You know how to control your weight and will be in total control. I was in your shoes, lost 75 lbs and have been terrified of getting fat again. But you are conscious of what's going on now. If you want more strength and muscle,yes you need to eat more. If your scared of putting on extra fat, just eat clean and keep track of calories. I believe in you famalam

yeah 500 is too much to start, 300 is okayish, if you OP want to play it safe, start with 250 and see how much weight you gain in a month, if you go too low you might be missing on gains

Yeah I'm starting at 200 because I'm deathly afraid of being fat again. Plus I can't afford to buy new clothes if I get too fat again, which is my main concern.

Well you can't gain muscle without eating more. Either you stay twink or bulk up, pick one.
