    im slowly working up my calories to find a surplus to gain lean mass, doubt id be able to go that high without gaining too much fat but we'll see. i could easily eat 3K without trying though, love food.

    I maintain somewhere between 3300-3500 but am currently in a large deficit so nowhere near your arbitrary number.

    Is that even necessary?

    I wish I could eat 2000 let alone

    Well, yeah...for some people it is. My maintenance is between 2800-3000 calories per day depending on the season and what I'm doing, so it's pretty necessary in order for me to maintain my weight.

    This. I slipped into an accidental deficit eating 3150/day, and I'm only 5'10", 170.5 lbs. I can't imagine how absurd it's going to eventually be if I keep running bulk/cut cycles, and maintain a similar activity level.

    I'm 6 foot, 218lb and nearly down to
    10%bf, bulking for me can be well over 5000cals and some days over 6000cals sounds fun at first but can get monotonous very quickly.

    Cutting starts off great at 3500+ cals
    But at 3000 cals I start clock watching for my next meal and need to introduce
    Refeed days
