    There are ~820 calories in 115 g of butter and ~385 calories in 100 g of sugar... 1205 calories!

    Holy hell! But none of that will build muscle.. or there's no protein. . Or am I missing something. Calorie surplus to grow I understand that, but protein to build muscle.. so how can you grow muscle from those calories?

    but you're not only eating those 1205 cals... you're eating other things that include protein?

    Yes, was just saying there's no protein in sugar and butter but that will help boost the calories after you hit your protein mark

    Exactly. (I would definitely go with the tasty tube of cookie dough (or a pile of chocolate bars) over dipping the stick of butter in some sugar though..enjoy those wonderful, wonderful calories).

    Just when your kinda doing OK, the weather changes. It gets hot and you don't feel like eating nor can you be bothered doing anything when you get home. It's a tough balance!

    thats when ice cream becomes your friend...

    Omg. I'd hate to be lactose intolerant. How would they cope!
