I'm aiming for 3,200-3,500 calories a day for this bulk. However, it's my understanding that only about 85% of your raw intake is actually useable energy. So to ingest the 3,200, would I need to actually eat 3,800 or so?
Hoping someone can confirm or provide empirical insight about the threshold of used caloric intake.

Energy intake estimations take into consideration TEF, so just start consuming based on your estimated requirements. Monitor weight biweekly and adjust caloric intake as needed to ensure desired weight gain.
