Calories on off day

[so1970]

How much do you eat on your off day? Do you just stay at maintenance or do you splurge?

 

[guss]

I eat the same every day

 

[Tylerclee]

More calories = better recovery

 

[guss]

I believe you are right about the calories, I feel like I should be making better gains

 

[guss]

How can I add 300 to 500 more calories a day cheep

 

[so1970]

Olive oil

 

[so1970]

I add a shot glass full to my shakes when bulking all the calories none of the bloat

 

[guss]

Bear with me I don't have a lot of money to work with
I am a single dad with a 12 year old girl
How do I use the olive oil, any help would be greate.

 

[guss]

How many calories are in olive oil

 

[so1970]

I just add it to my protein shakes it's like 125 calories for a table spoon. I thought it was crazy first time I heard it but it works

 

[guss]

Wow I did not no that, are they good calories

 

[so1970]

Calories are calories and this is an easy way to get them without feeling bloated. The taste though

Depends on what macro you're looking to bump. What's your current split? Are you carb sensitive? So many things to take into account. In the end it comes down to experimentation and figuring out what your body responds best to.

Evoo is a an ok cheap fat. Chicken breast for protein. Oats for cheap carbs...

 

[so1970]

Don't forget peanut butter natural if you can find it

 

[guss]

I hear you thank you any tip you have, I will listen

 

[so1970]

A lot of people say as long as it fits your macros any calories are good,but I believe that is just an excuse for a dirty bulk

 

[guss]

Macros. ?

 

[guss]

Thanks for your help, I will try it.

 

[so1970]

Macros. ?

The grams of protein sugars fats etc in your intake of food

 

[guss]

Ok I am at about 135 grams of protein I would like to be a t 150- 190

I eat the same every day. If I want to add calories from carbs I put an extra scoop of bulk oats in powder form, if I need calories from fats I have bulk peanut butter, if I want calories from protein I have liquid white eggs in bulk, all very cheap. Boring but effective and leaves me room in my mind to puzzle with everyday problems

Another option is baby food in powder, delicious but a bit costly compared to the above
