I'm not trying to lose weight, but I'm not trying to bulk either, so I just chose this forum to ask the question I have in. I'm trying to get bigger while staying lean. So I'm eating 500 calories over maintenance level which is about 3500 and I'm keeping my carbs to a minimal and also eating most of them in the morning and lunch. My question is should I wake up and do cardio with nothing in my stomach to cut fat? Or would this be bad for muscle gain even though I only do cardio on non-lifting days? My normal habit has been to eat oatmeal and either eggs or a half bagel with peanut butter on it, so I have always had a substantial amount of calories for breakfast usually from 600-900.
