harder to clean bulk then diet (srs)

Dieting is so easy compared to clean bulking in my opinion. With clean bulks you have to:

Be more accurate with your calories as gaining only 0.5-0.75 pound a week requires an accuracy between 250-500 calories each day. Dieters get results as long as they are in any kind of deficit between 100-1000 calories and dont require the same level of accuracy.

Bulking is soo hard to measure progress wise.. when you are aiming to only gain 0.5-0.75 pound a week.. it is so hard to see wether you are gaining enough weight or too much weight through the fog of natural weight fluctuations. It takes weeks of monitoring your weight to see how much you are gaining as an average over weeks before you can then adjust your calories accordingly and get any kind of idea of your progress. Dieters just give a massive w00p everyone time the scale drops to a lower number.

Went to a festival the other day.. now if I was dieting I could of easily just eaten a moderate amount of food and not cared about the fact that being on my feet for 8-9 hours and probably burning 2000 calories was going to effect my diet. But on a bulk I now gotta go out and eat those calories or else I would wipe out my entire calorie surplus for the week. Had to spend a freaking bomb on food to get 5000 calories.. food is so expensive and bulking drains so much more £££ then dieting.

Bulking sometimes feels like you are doing nothing after work but cooking and eating half the time.. consumes so much more time. Yes eating is nice but I feel CLEAN bulks are a lot harder to succesfully pull of then dieting.. been on both sides of the fence
