What you've said is all true. I know it was meant to be a quick video but there were some things you missed out such as the importance of fat in your diet.
I'm so glad you mentioned trial amd erroring the BMR number you got online using the calculator, because people will just take that number as their exact BMR and use it which is why we get guys on here asking the same question everyday "why can't I gain weight?".
It's all very basic knowledge and you summed it up well. People are gunna find it hard to take you seriously being only 17 but if you don't know anything about diet, this is good advice. Nice to see a fellow natural spreading some good honest advice.Bench Press: 142.5kg
OHP: 102.5kg
Deadlift: 222.5kg
Squat: 187.5kg

I really need some advice. I used this calculator to find out how much i should eat each day: http://iifym.com/tdee-calculator/. Anyway, it told me to eat around 2700 for a clean bulk. I workout 5 times a day, 40-60minutes each workout - no cardio. I'm 176 lbs, 6,0ft. and 19 years old.
The BMR calculator told me that i'm 1947, should i just add 500 calories to that and go for that? shouldnt i take my activity level into consideration? Thank you for your help.
Theres quite a difference from 2400 to 2700, and i really want to get it right and not waste my timeLast edited by Deezzzz; 10-15-2013 at 06:09 AM.

I just checked. Appreciate it. One last question though. Shouldnt i take my exercise level into consideration? I mean - the BMR calculator tells me how many calories i need daily just by breathing/living. If my BMR number is 1947 and i add 500 calories to gain muscles. What about the energy used when actually lifting the weights? Should i take into consideration that i workout 5-6 times a day. I workout around 40 - 60 minutes btw? even though i do absolutely zero cardio. I hope that you see what i'm trying to say even though english is not my primary language.

Well yeah mate but its far easier to just trial and error than to guestimate, id say youll need around 3k -2,5k calories but its best to trial and error. The calories you burn weightlifting can be very inconsistent and show no pattern on a day to day basis so it would be to hard to include. Just keep adding those 100's mate and youll have that magic number in no time.

Yes i can afford.. I'm not here to brag about something here.. my dad always buy me that i want (coz im the only child)...
he bought me 4pcs of 5 lbs of whey protein from his work abroad... so im taking 5-8 scoops a day and get my carbs from rice, bread and veges.. I also eat a lot of meat.. and counting macros every other day
so anyway what are the benefits of taking 1.25-1.5 grams of protein on bulking ?

I dont think their are any specific benefits that i know of when going over your bodyweight in lbs with g's of protein, except stinky protein farts lol. I just say hit more than you need so at the end of your day your sure your body has the necceserry building blocks to rebuild. Just make sure your getting more carbs than proteins, the muscle building process needs carbs aswell as protein to work.
