Hi,
You said “needs to be somewhere around 3000-4000 calories a day, depending on if it’s a workout day”, this sounds interesting as I’ve never thought of varying calorie intake depending on if its an excercise day. Just to get it straight, youre recommending 3000 on a rest day, 4000 on a non rest day?
Cheers,
Bill.

Hi Bill,
I got this idea from John Berardi and Mike Mejia’s book Scrawny to Brawny. The concept is that you need to increase you calorie intake to increase mass, but you don’t want to overdo it on those days that you aren’t burning as much either.

Do you guys also feel like u eat way more when eating junk food fast food? Like you get hungry way quicker? I love junk food, but since I get sick of it fast, I am unable to overeat that junk and get fat. How do people actually end up eating that stuff sooo much and not expect to get fat?

This is an interesting tip, because I have tried bodybuilding with modest calorie intake and the same with more calories. The result? I find that with more calories, there’s more muscle growth, and also slightly more fat gain as well, but the slight increase in fat was not a problem as my body fat % was still good. But make sure you eat quality food so you’re both healthy as well as got muscle. Makes sense?

It would be nice to have the problem of not being able to gain weight. I had that problem once but that was before I crossed the magic age barrier of 30. Unfortunately now I am closer to 50.
If you are trying to gain weight and put on muscle at the same time make sure that you increase your protein intake. I see that you have an add for whey protein in the sidebar. You can use that or casein protein as a way of getting your protein intake up. Whey is cheaper although casein may be more effective.

It’s interesting to note that you may get better results with having a good amount of low GI carbs, or having high protein diet, to increase muscle. Some body types prefer carbs (keep to the good carbs though), and some prefer protein to avoid the fat gain. I suggest you try both and see. With low GI carbs there’s less osidative stress on the skin and so to avoid premature skin aging and facial wrinkles, have the good carbs (low GI carbs).

Good post! You definitely have to eat more if you expect to gain weight. Weight gainers and high calorie snacks are great ways to consume extra calories in your diet.

I thought the idea was to burn calories and build muscle. I have recently written an article about a plan to burn calories designed for the US Navy. You can read it here.

Yeah, if you try to cut calories too fast, then your body goes into starvation mode and starts burning muscle. Yikes…
