I eat HELLA clean in a cut but I need BS to hit my numbers in a bulk. Usually when I cut I get down to like 2000kcal alone.... 1500 of that is protein and non negotiable shyt like fiber and vegetables.

what do you eat for those 1500? right now i pretty much just eat grilled chicken and that shyt just is too low to add up to the 1800 cals i need.

I've been eating lots of potatoes lately... it's one of those carbs that my body likes for some reason compared to other carbs...

My muscles feel full the next day...

Can someone tell me the benefit of bulking and cutting?

If you eat clean and eat enough cals a day what's the point of bulking if you want to maintain body fat percentage? Thanks

Truth be told low carb never worked for me breh. It did for a big but I always gained it right back.

I lost a lot of weight tho doing something like intermittent fasting, combined with timing my carbs, a small deficit, exercise galore.

Like I would try to aim for 225 grams of protein. If eat some carbs I. The morn, mainly oatmeal but after 5 it was pretty much no to look lil carbs and no calories after 730.

bulking for me is easy. Controlling far gain is the hard part which usually is just a matter of not eating too much over.

Bulking is to build muscle. Your body needs a surplus of calories and adequate protein to recover and build muscle from working out . With this comes inevitable fat gain which is where cutting comes in. Cutting helps lose the fat from bulking while also giving u that "shredded" look. If you are satisfied with the body percentage you're at now then u dont really need to focus on bulk/cut.

Use chicken thighs instead of chicken breasts

Google some simple recipes.... honey mustard chicken thighs.... crockpot shyt.... etc

Chicken is very versatile, u just gotta put a little time in to finesse it. I'm making chicken thighs for the week right now

Here's a recipe I like and have been doing for a while

Mix that with like 150kcal of rice.... nice meal and you can make them in bulk

Add ground turkey

If looking to add calories milk, peanut butter or almonds helps.

How do y'all get tired of chicken?

I just make my shyt in mad different ways .


So I usually grill a bunch of chicken tenders for the week .


Grilled chicken / sweet potatoe / asperagus or broccoli .


Grilled chicken /quinoa / asperagus or broccoli

Grilled chicken spinach salad / feta / tomatoes / avocado/ egg


Grilled chicken wrap / spinach / avacado as spread / feta / tomatoes. Side of veggies asperagus or broccoli


Grilled chicken sandwich / egg / avacado / spinach maybe feta .


In between all his I also eat ground turkey to mix it up .

Sometimes I put it in a wrap or just mix it with my quinoa so much protein .

Also I mix in mix veggies and still top off with more fresh veggies on the side .
