cutting and bulking in a nutshell

[sciatictiara225]

OK soI'm looking into cutting and b ulking and theirs so much info out there it can all be slightly overwhelming. So correct me if I'm wrong but here's what I've gathered.

Cutting
Lower calories
Cardio
Protien
Lift
Sleep
Eat six small meals

Bulking
Higher calories
Protien
Lift
Sleep
Eat six small meals a day

Basically the only difference ia the numboer of calories you eat and the inclusion and exclusion of cardio.

Can soneone please tell if I've pretty much got it or if I missed something pleade tell me. Ik trying to cut just makin sure I got this right

Yeah, that's basically right.
Although, you can still do small amounts of cardio if bulking. In fact it is suggested to do walks or some low-intensity cardio as long as you can make up for it in your nutrition.

Since you're trying to cut, you don't need to worry about that information though.
Just eat less then your body uses, and you'll lose weight.

Someone else may have more information on the matter then me. But to answer your question, you've basically got the concept down.

The one thing is that the most common opinion here is that "6 small meals" is completely irrelevant. If it works for you - makes you less hungery (if cutting), or lets you eat more calories (bulking), then great, but the general reputation is that it doesn't have any real actual magical properties to it over just eating 3 normal meals.

Most important is 6 meals a day spread out about 2-3 hours apart.

Calorie Deficit + Lifting = Cutting

Calorie Surplus + Lifting = Bulking
