Is McDonalds good for bulking if you don't care about getting fat?

[MrTinyLegs]

Right now I am on a "dirty bulk" where I'm in "disregard fat, acquire mass" mode and I wanted to know TBB's opinion on Mcdonalds for bulking.

For breakfast I drove to McDonalds and had a bacon egg and cheese bagel with cinnamon melts... total calories = 1000. Drank a protein shake with it and that's 1500 calories.

What do you guys think?

[nainchik]

It's okay. Get a multi tho at least.

I take a mutli everyday. And it's not like I would be eating McDonalds EVERY meal... only for breakfast.

...BK/Pizza for lunch and dinner :P

[nainchik]

Do ert. Pls stay safe, as usual.

i ate 5 mcdoubles or crispy chicken sandwiches a day last summer when I bulked and still kept my six pack

[Jericoe]

since you dont care about fat, as long as you hit your macros i guess it doesnt matter

How did that bulk go for you?

[jeulz]

Yeah why wouldnt it be? But try to eat healthy aswell, you need your micro nutrients set.

Also, ex dirty bulker here, I dont suggest it.

[naich]

a lot of sodium op, but i guess that isn't that bad.

Can you go into more detail about your negative experiences with dirty bulking?

How many calories are there in a slice of cheese pizza? I've heard ranges from anywhere between 300-600.

if you want to be a fat bitch with man tits, go ahead! =)

[TimHarrison]

Macdonalds is never good for you at all. It's fine to eat it for a treat or something. But if you think the greasy, sugary rubbish they serve you is ever healthy then you're kidding yourself.

How is smolov going?

How did that bulk go for you?

added a phuckton of mass and all my lifts went up a lot, I gained 10 lbs in 3 months so most of it was muscle

albeit it was easier to fit into my macroes being 6'2, 190 lbs my bmr was already pretty high, for shorter/lighter people it may not be a good idea

and dont get me wrong, eating healthier/"cleaner" would be way better, i was just too lazy to prepare food every day and mcdonalds was cheap/easy to count

[MrTinyLegs]

How is smolov going?

Still squatting and deadlifting and hitting my target weights, I'm on my 3rd week and instead of increasing the poundages by 20 and then 10, I did 15 and 10.

I've been growing, but my lower back feels...weird. Almost as if it's made of cardboard when I'm standing and I flex it.

I had to replace close grip bench with skullcrushers because I have bicipital tendonitis in my left shoulder, but I'll switch back when that goes away.

Overall pretty good.

Edit: Also wanted to add that my lower back is perpetually sore/fatigued. No idea how that's going to play out, time isn't fixing it.

5'4, 110 lbs

Are you even a person?

[CeBKa]

As long as you meet micro/macro sufficiency...

[noarmsjustlegs]

You can bulk on McDonalds as long as you follow (IIFYM). Getting micros are important if you plan on eating mcDonalds your whole day.

IMO eating McDonalds is fine in the sense of IIFYM if you don't care about getting fat, but fast food has way too much calories for its other macronutrients. You're probably going to have to eat way over your standard bulking calories in order to hit all of your macros, which will just add on unnecessary fat.

I don't really see the point of eating that much calories, as eating too much of a surplus will just turn into fat instead of helping build muscle.

But since you don't mind getting fat, by all means go for it. It should be fine in a bodybuilding sense, but in a general health sense (such as stuff like free radicals, triglycerides, etc) it won't suffice.

Gained about 8-10% BF in 3 months, a lot of mass and lifts gone up but I've been cutting for last 6 months because of it... never again, stay lean

^ yeah clean bulk for life OP, cutting is NOT fun especially natty

id even suggest 6 week bulk, 2 week cut mini cycles

This documentary is an experiment similar to that of "Supersize Me", but with contradictory results. It starts a bit slow, but is quite thought provoking and humorous. In summary, it says that fats are good, sugars are bad.

[CBN180]

get grilled chicken breasts a la carte from there and you could keep it clean and get a good source of protein.

It's good if you don't give a chit about retarded amounts of sodium, fully hydrogenated oils, HFCS, starch, gum and other nasty crap.
