How much do you actually have to eat to put on muscle? It seems

>>42595464
I've found somewhere between 200 and 250 to be optimal. 500 surplus a day will get you fat

T. Got fat and just went through a long cut

>lift big
>eat big

pick 2

It is mathematically possible to gain muscle on a cut. Its not even difficult for a beginner

Is there more to it besides just the muscle growth? Wouldn't eating a 500 calorie surplus as opposed to 200 of 250 make sense if the calories came from carbs? Seems like it would fuel your workouts better, but that's just a hypothesis of mine.

Just gotta make sure that a majority of your meals intake is protein and you'll be fine.

what this guy said>>42595500

I went on a 500 surplus and got fat as fuck while only really gaining a little amount of muscle. Do 200 and eat clean.

fpbp

if you're an underweight beginner then 500 is fine though.

the surplus factors in what you need for your activity so the extra is entirely for tissue repair and/or fat storage depending on how large your surplus is

Literally no one says +150 is enough

2g of protein per kg of bodyweight is the safe zone for protons; more is good but unnecessary
500 calories surplus is fine if you don't mind putting on a bit of fat(anything more than 500 cals is retarded if you're natty)
Don't take any advice from SS drones on nutrition. You're not a powerlifter, you don't need that many calories

You don't get fat overnight. Eat whatever seems like a good idea and if you're not making enough gains or putting on too much fat, adjust our intake. Why are people so fucking stupid

How are you guys really able to count 200 calorie surplus? Maybe the calorie you spent that day isn't 2800 but it is 3000. Or the food you ate isn't 3200 kcal but it's 3000 kcal.

Counting calories with such precision. Sounds really hard to me.

Is 36 egg whites daily ok then?
