    Hey Ladies & Gents

    just need some additional advice. I am on a lean bulking program at the moment.. with the aim of gaining 2 pounds every 5 weeks.
    my Split is - 40% Carbs 30% fats and 30% protein. however, for the past few days (i've just started) I always seem to be hitting Fats at around 38-40%

    These fats tend to come from peanut butter, nuts, fish, Beef & Pork.

    I was just wondering if this would have an impact on my lean bulk. I am hitting my targeted calories each day, so I don't think that's too much of a problem.

    Advice please :)
    "Lean bulk" term makes me snicker every time I hear it because to "bulk" means to add muscle and fat. But the goal is to add a little fat as possible.
    Anyway, don't worry so much about the fat content. It's your calories you should worry about.

    I have also heard this be called a "Clean" bulk years ago.

    not clean foods but clean as in controlled
    I always understood it to be, clean vs dirty.
