Bulking Under Maintenance
Hey guys, i'm new here and i see lots of great feedback and so i decided to join and become a member.
So, I am 5,8 in height and weigh approx. 149 lbs, my cals should be approx 2,400 - 2,600 on a bulk (based on online calculations), however i am not getting those numbers in, i'm hitting more 2,000 cals. my metabolism is fairly steady. I have been bulking for 4 months now, I generally eat clean and have 1 - 2 cheat meals a week, i have my protein shake and creatine each day, i go to the gym 4x times a week.
My question, i am getting big faster then i initial thought, i have put on muscle and fat, based on the calculations above (2,400 - 2,600) should i really be getting those cals in incl. surplus when im getting some great gains?
is it my metabolism the calculations online that cant get right?
Your feedback would be much appreciated :)
