Boyfriend always too skinny and doesn't try to gain weight
Hi! This is actually my first time posting on the boards, although I've been a MFP user for many years now. I used to be really skinny back in undergrad (borderline anorexic), but now I am a pretty healthy weight since I started to eat more and not exercise so much.

Assume 'noob' gains were achieved both in strength and body composition. If this person were to switch to a surplus diet,…

Is MFP good for tracking calories while bulking?
I'm in the middle of a cut at the moment, trying to get below 11st and as close to 10.5st as possible. After this, I am bulking back up to 13st at a planned rate of gaining at 0.5lbs a week to try and minimise fat gain along with the muscle. Is MFP as good for calorie tracking while gaining weight as it is while losing it?

Fiance is a scientific anomoly; doesn't get my methods.
I'm currently in a short (12 week) bulk cycle. I usually hang at around 115 lbs, 20% bf, and I'm trying to bulk up to around 124 so I can come back to 115 at a lower BF% (hence, gain muscle, lose fat). This makes sense to me. I've researched it. It makes logical scientific sense. My fiance, however, doesn't get it. He has…

Eating back Exercise Cal's if I am bulking (same as losing?)
I know this type of Question has been asked many times by people trying to lose weight. I am eating a surplus to pack on the muscle with hopefully little fat. Would it be in my best interest to eat those cals back to feed the muscle, or because I am currently in a surplus. Would I be spilling over.
