I am eating 4.4k right now because I WANT TO GET STRONGER FUUUUUAARK
I actually stopped gaining weight at 3.6 a couple months ago and needed to bump up to 4k, but now I need to push for maximum gains before the spring cut season rolls around.
im 16% bodyfat
it is kinda fat but yeah getting to 10% is really grim. from 12 to 10% is literally 2 months if not more. You really dont lose much more than 1% per month, even as little as 0,5% when you are reaching that 10%. Up until 12% its reasonable to lose 2% per month. It is a little early but xmas/new years/couple of events in the end of the year its gonna make me stall/rebound really hard so i have to plan for that already now.
realistically i will be at full speed first/second week of january so i will be 10% in april/may at the earliest. Like if you are over 20% its so fricking over just bulk till 2025.
After 30 years of lifting, my autism lets me track my calories and macros in my head every day. Tracking apps are for dumb or lazy people. Get gud at remembering what you ate, homies.
Been doing this for decades, since you can't read my post.
Funny, I got down to single-digit bodyfat more than once while NEVER logging my shit, because I can tell you at midnight each night exactly how many calories I've had from all my food as well as my protein intake. I don't monitor carbs and fat because I'm not a homosexual who thinks that either one will upset the balance.
Like I said, get gud, or, be a slave to logging shit forever. I don't need to reflect back on a diet log to know what works and what doesn't.
A bulk doesn't require any specific excess in calories. It requires an excess relative to activity, just enough to regenerate glycogen stores and repair tissues between workouts. If you work out at a high volume or intensity (peaking, for instance), it's gonna take a lot more total energy than if you're working out in another phase. Also, protein intake has to go up proportionally to tissue damage, and energy intake to cardio (any source, but ideally mostly fat; carbs kinda cap at glycogen capacity).
Tl;Dr: swimmer needs like 5k, mostly carbs, while builder needs like 3k, next to no carbs. Specificity bro.

Sure, but are there many competitive swimmers on this board? Almost everyone claiming 3500kcal+ has a TDEE of 2100 and lifts weights for an hour.
Cronometer. It's the real og's shit, got micros n everything you could think of.

I'm cutting because I'm fat as shit
Shut up
no u
I legit can't believe people manage to eat 3k calories DAILY
Not everyone is a poorgay like you, anon
Bro are you a manlet. If I eat 3700kcal a day I lose weight.
T. 1m93, 97kg
Frick you're weak. I'm 1.65, 70kg and eat 4.2k. Gym and cardio everyday
yea but if you want to eat healthy you would have to eat TONS of food to reach those calories, you moronic lanklet
I eat a bit over 4k, pretty clean
...and it takes up most of my income, but I'm also working on that. Once I've hit 6 figures I won't have to give a shit.

I can't believe people get fat on less.
I eat 3,800 calories (all clean, zero refined or processed slop) daily all year round and I'm 11% bodyfat and train twice a week.
It baffles me how bad people's metabolisms are. Literally just eat in an 8h window, do hot/cold exposure and stop eating slop.
Bulk?
Even as a poorgay I can do 5-6k in whole foods if I try. Kinda useless though.

I’m the op
Give me some pointers.
if you havent started your cut by now you are literally never gonna make it
bro cutting is the easiest part. gaining MUSCLE is fricking IMPOSSIBLE thoughever.
Semi-tracking. Weight seems to be up by about 2.5-3lb, which is a hair faster than I'd like so I may need to start being more strict.
Lol fatty

You’re the lazy one, because 6 months will pass and you will have no idea how much you’re eating

I didn't count calories and got too fat. currently have another 5 weeks then I'll try again. I learned my lesson bros :'(
I'm on a perma-cut until I hit ~85kg (I'm currently about 91kg).
Eating 4000kcal is one thing, but why would you ever do it intentionally? A bulk never requires more than 3000kcal.
