Eat more, like I mentioned in your other thread. If your not growing, your not eating enough.
The quality of the calories really has no bearing if it's simply being used for energy purposes. If you're taking in enough protein, that's basically all that matters as far as the individual macro nutrients go. You're on gear, so fat content is irrelevant. Carbs are a personal choice as they are non essential. From a purely weight management standpoint, you need calories. But the body doesn't count whole and minimally processed foods as better or more calories than candy or fast food. At a certain point, a calorie = a calorie.
If fat is irrelephant on gear would reccomend low fat diets on cycle vs Keto for cutting? Or does it not make that much of a difference?
Fat is essential for hormone function, among other things. Given exogenous hormones, we severely decrease the need for dietary fat intake. In the end, use the diet that works best for you. But it makes cutting that much easier when you have the option of cutting out a ton of calories via fat, and you don't suffer the consequences (for now).
I can tell you something. Even i never have used AAS i can tell you 600mg T And 400mg Deca would give you size gains even your diet was pretty bad.
THIS. My buddy swears he eats 4000 calories a day and can't gain weight. However, he is only 150 lbs, so 4,000 calories should have him gaining. I bulk on 3500 so when he told me what he ate, what he was telling me didn't add up. Not quite sure why it's so hard to count food correctly.
Well i had some of my friends swearing they was eating and eating without gaining weight. 4000+kcal. When i tracked the calories, it ended on 2400-2600. Its vig difference from 2400-2600 to 4000+ kcals
A great argument for the fact that people are different. I used to be 150lbs and had no clue how to gain weight, or i thought that i was actually eating in a surplus. I wasn't.
Agreed. Wish I were the opposite. I would be ripped without effort!!
4500-5500kcal
I kid you not I need 5,000 calories to get to and maintain 175lbs.
900g from protein and carbs is 3600 calories. Unless you are eating 1900 calories (210g) of fat you're not eating 5500 calories.
Can we trade metabolisms?
Of course there's always going to be outliers. I feel for ya.
This. People can't take advice if it's not what they want to hear, it's pretty simple man... If your consuming '5000' calories then eat more. It's Not hard.
I bet he is NOT eating 5500kcal !
Exactly my point. I think we are all aware that he isn't hitting those numbers and if.... If he actually is, then just eat more.
Believe me..
No
this is no hate at all and its not personal attack either.
I cheat daily because I don't get fat either, so I figure why eat clean every meAl.
I eat 4 Oz of pb every day with a half gallon of milk, that's my after lunch snack. Still gaining in 3rd week of pct, amazing
