BULKING BREAKDOWN

Non-Training Days
Maintenance Calories (I did 1,800)
– Maintenance cals were made up of cutting cals + eggs (or any other protein/
fat food you want. I chose eggs cause theyʼre CHEAP AF and I donʼt care
about taste that much). Kept the exact same meals but just added eggs.

Sample Day
Meal 1: Chicken or Protein-Yogurt, 1-2 Eggs, Apple or Pear
Meal 2: Protein-Yogurt, Apple or Pear
Meal 3: Larger amount of eggs, Broccoli

Training Days
Maintenance Calories + 400-500
– Exact same meals as the non-training day and just added 400-500 calories of
sweet potatoes/any kind of potatoes to the post-workout meal. You can
choose any carb you want. I did three meals, intermittent fasting style. If I ever
decide to bulk again I might do four. Post-workout meal had me STUFFED.
Was basically 1,000 calories, maybe more. Might spread those cals out more if
I did it again.

– I trained fasted. Always. I would move the eggs in the first meal to the eggs in
the last meal on training days because you want to minimize fat consumption
post-workout.

– Was looking to gain 0.2-0.5lbs per week. I weighed myself every Thurs
morning. I knew that Iʼd have a cheat meal on Fri or Sat, so Thurs was the day I
could count on to stay consistent in tracking my weight progression. Cheat
meal days Iʼd just have 1-2 protein-yogurts (no fruit) to get my protein in.
Didnʼt worry to much about going 400-500 cals over maintenance on that one
day, but I didnʼt go crazy. Think the most I ever went over was an extra 500
cals.
