Post it up! Trying to create a post for beginners looking to gain weight who don’t know how much 4K calories is. Thanks!

Bodybuilders use insulin nowadays something I don't. And I agreeI agree I have done the same and honestly have cut my carbs way back for example use to have 2 cups of rice per meal over 4 meals now maybe 1 cup over 3 meals and so much leaner and tighter. Overeating doesn’t put on muscle any faster than a slight caloric surplus does just sloppy weight. I hate the whole bodybuilding term of eat big to get big because it’s very misleading when most bodybuilders through coaches I have had give you 5 “small meals a day” plus the minutes I can’t see veins or have some sort of smooth and not grainy look then what’s the point of doing all this
5 meals a day is definitely eating big if youre a 165lb weakling who can barely finish a bowl of cereal.I agree I have done the same and honestly have cut my carbs way back for example use to have 2 cups of rice per meal over 4 meals now maybe 1 cup over 3 meals and so much leaner and tighter.
