Is 20000 steps too many to bulk?

jmath0303

Hello,

I'm just curious if it will be too difficult to gain when I get around 20,000-30000 steps a day? I am 5'9 and 140 lbs. I started eating around 3200 calories this weekend and that was difficult (peanut butter, chips, ice cream, etc along with fruits and vegetables and such).

If would too.many if you were not gaining weight.

Eat enough that you gain weight steadily on average and add when your weight gain starts to taper off.

Olive oil is easy if you are having problems hitting calorie goals.

Only you can know that .. obviously the more exercise you get during the day, the more you will have to eat to make a surplus. so you will have to decide where that balance is of sustainable gain and eating vs exercise

personally though as a 5'11" 165lb male ... 3200kcal is easily attainable .which is how I got fat in the 1st instance

No it is not too much.

20 to 30K steps is considerably above MFP's very active setting. If you eat enough you can bulk. If you can't or don't... you won't!
