Just a simple question to get some understanding on bulking and calories:

How many calories do you eat per day when
bulking and what is your length and weight?

Ard 2600 calories 5'7 135 lbs could go abit more agressive but taking my time here.
Find ur maintenance calories add around 200- 400 calories if u want to gain slowly or 500-1000 if u want to have more agressive weight gains
Dont go crazy on the calories though as u will gain alot of fat

I typically lose weight at 3500 Cal/day so when i go back to a true bulking mode I'll probably push 4000-4500/day. Maybe more or less depending on how i feel and what the scale says at weigh ins. Also depends on how much cardio I'm doing (yes i even do cardio when bulking for other health reasons).

[BosnianBuilder]

I go for 3000 each day. My maintenance is around 2500 I believe.

[gwerty]

5'7'' 140 lbs. surplus=500. That's 1 pound per week. I started at 115 lbs half a year ago and my body fat only increased slightly.

[vEquinox]

My maintenance is ~3300 and I'm bulking at 4000 atm.

[UnknownOrigin]

Probably around 4200 at the moment.
Might bump it up to 4500.

[FeelTheFear]

2650

[TAS44]

I need roughly 3100-3200 every day to slow bulk and about 3500 for an all out bulk. I'm 5'9'' 170

[EugenF]

About 3200 for an all out bulk (I clean bulk, it's great man).

When bulking, you guys count your calories right? Or do you just eat and eat and at the end of the day you know you ate over maintenance?

I count it. A huge surplus isn't good as there's a limit on how much muscle you can build per month, 2.5 pounds and that's if you're a beginner and if you do everything right.

Around 3,000 or so 150 grams protein. Adding in the protein makes a massive difference compared to when I was eating only like two scoops of whey a day.
