Bulking ranges anywhere from a 2900-3800/day average, depending upon the speed at which I want to gain. Low end for 0.2-0.3/week, high end for 0.7-1. It maths out weird, but basically the more I eat, the more I end up moving, so it gets more and more difficult to keep a surplus.
Did you say that you cut at 1200 calories....that's way too low for a man unless you have the shittiest metabolism in the world.
Shhh, trust me, I got this. Feel free to check my progress on my last cut in the Culking Bishes thread's last pages.2 -
1400 to maintain my range.0
-
All of them.1

Really depends on the day for me. Some days I only need 1500 (rest days) and others I need 3000 (lifting type days). I give the body what it wants so I'm never hungry.0

1200 - 1550, but trying to lose so wrong place for me to post.0
-
When I eat healthy I usually eat 1900-2300 at most ehoch is ridiculous0

There are several people in this section that follow Lyle's RFL, PSMF or other protocols. I'd say, it would be the exception....3 -
I maintain on 2200 - 2400. I wish it were less. I struggle some days to reach that and if I want to gain I basically have to eat nonstop.1

I currently have a goal of 2000. To maintain the weight I'm at now, I'd need about 3400 so it's a pretty big deficit. Then again, I have a lot to lose.0

2000-2500 to lose 1lb a week, having a try at maintenance this week and it's a ridiculous amount to eat trying to get to 3000-3500, even with having been shown how to incorporate more fats and oils.0
-
3000 to 35000
-
1220 on the weekdays, 1470 on the weekends.0
-
2300 - 2500 when cutting, 2500-2700 maintenance and 2700 - 3000 bulking.
Of course all these numbers can vary depending on activity...0 -
1,900-2,000 for recomp if I bother to stick to them, and maintenance if I go a bit over.
But girl...0 -
Around 1900 on inactive days to maintain and 2400-2800 on active days. I lose on less than 1800. I am 5'9.2 and 128 Ibs.0

I'm a powerlifter but don't "bulk" per se. I just eat 1,300 cals x day during the week and then on the weekends treat myself to a little more. This is maintenance for me. If I was strict all week long 1,300 would be a cut, but I don't intend to lose anything.0
-
2400 a day on average and I'm losing about 1 to 2 lbs per month. But I've also got a lot of burn, including weekly long runs of 10+ miles the past 4 months.0

3000 cutting 3750-4000 bulking.1
-
About 4000 to maintain1
-
Around 3250 - 3500, which is maintenance for me0
