Macros for Strength Gains
Been lifting weights for about 10 years. I am not a body builder but a power lifter. Two questions but related... Has anyone been able to get stronger and lose a little bit of weight and what are your macros? Is it more important to keep your fat macros higher than your carb macros? I keep my protein around 1g per lean…

Cheat Day or Bulimia argument...(Buttermore)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KU5fX-5LuuA Thought this was an interesting argument drawing the line between Binge Eating Disorder & "Cheating". I would have to side more with Greg on this one...as time goes by, I find my results have been better/more sustainable the more mild I would allow myself to cheat from prolonged…

Food Surplus
So to bulk you need to increase your food intake. Is this increase above the extra calories you use lifting? For example, if I don’t exercise, I burn 2400 cals a day. If I do exercise, I burn 3000 cals per day. When bulking, do I increase my food from 2400 to 3000 or do I increase from 2400 to 3400 for 400 extra cals?

So I have decided to start with a slow lean bulk to last me through the whole year (gaining maybe 20lbs or so).
