Questions for alan aragon and 'if it fits your macro' crew
[b]My objective is to bulk with minimal gain in bf%.[/b] I am currently at around 12% bf and I take a multi-vitamin too. My weight is 140lbs and my macros are Carbs 310g Protein 170g Fat 65g
I have read a lot of threads regarding calories in vs calories out, macros and micronutrients. I understand how this work when you are losing weight but how does this apply for bulking?
Assuming I need 3000 calories a day to bulk, but I already hit 2500 calories with all my macros fulfilled. [b]My question is does it make a difference which macro I get my remaining 500 calories from.(see objective) If yes, should I aim for the remaining 500 calories from carb, protein or fat?[/b]
[QUOTE=shambo99;625641363]the answer is it does not matter what macro nutrient you get your macros from.
As long as u get minimum 1-1.5g protein/lb lbm and at least 0.4g-0.6g fat per lb/lbm make the rest of the calories up with what you want.[/QUOTE]
This is the part where I am confused. So person A bulks with just junk food and person B who bulks with whole food, both of them hit the minimum protein and fat and ate the same calories, there will be no difference in gains for body fat %?
