This is my personal guide to nutrition and calories while on a bulking cycle.

First of all let me say this is what I do and may not be what works for you but take what you want from this and I hope it helps a little.

my stats
36 years old
6,4
256 pounds
13% BF

when I am on a bulk cycle I will eat at least every 3 1/2 hours with 3 main meals a day. breakfast /lunch /dinner.

I will only eat lean protein such as skinless turkey breast skinless chicken breast lean ground beef 90/10 ratio.with the protein I will consume 1.5 grams of protein per pound of body weight and at least 1 complex carb per pound of body weight now when I say complex cab I mean any thing that hasn't been refined or broken down from its natural state, brown rice/ fresh veggies/ I try not to consume anything that has been altered from its original state. now the only exception is my whey protein powder I supplement with but I try to get 90% of my daily calories and nutrition from whole foods. now depending on how big you are and how much you body weight is a detreming factor on the calories you would consume, for me I try and consume 4,500 -5,000 calories a day when I am bulking for smaller guys you will adjust it down you will have to play with it to see where your sweet spot is. if any one needs help feel free to ask questions I actually have a degree in sports nutrition so if I can help send me a pm .
