carbs during bulking

Tazi · 02-24-2007, 02:26 PM

so I am about to start a bulk and I thought I should just load up on carbs when I start it, but on the other hand I dont want to get fat and will still be doing some cardio to keep the fat down. so should I chow down on bagles or try and limit my carb intake?

Just eat clean. Dont worry about anything else. If its food and its good... eat it.

yeah, I was thinking of doing a dirty bulk for the first 8 weeks then doing more of a clean bulk the rest of the time, I mean Ideally I want to dirty bulk the whole time but it depends how much my fat percentage goes up.

Youre gonna gain some fat during your bulk. Im clean bulking, but every month or so ill have a pizza or costco hotdog. Then again i aint to worried about how much fat i gain b/c i can loose a ****load once i cut back to maitenance level and start doing cardio again. Just eat what you can.

I eat a lot of bread, potatoes, brown rice, cereal. I try to keep it even with my protein intake... as carbohydrates are just as important when trying to gain mass, after all they are your body's main source of energy.

I realize I will have some fat gaines, and Im ok with that. but yeah, I think I will be doing a really dirty bulk for a while. pizza and frozen food, but no trans fat of course

You'll gain a lot of weight with a dirty bulk, well, hopefully. Since you'll be bulking up and doing some heavy compound lifting i assume you'll be getting pretty big in those first few weeks.

Just make sure you monitor your BF% so you don't get too fat.
