    Has anyone here bothered to have a look at his food diary?
    Based on your theory that it is just because of his calorie surplus is ridiculous, based on that you aren't defining whether it matters where the calories are lost, either carbs fats protein.

    What are you even saying?

    His meals are balanced - protein, carbs, and fats in each meal.

    He's in a surplus, energy is being stored - not lost.

    Looked at yours though.....apart from today, looks like you don't really get bulking.

    Someone already asked you this but I'll ask again anyway. Are you saying that a surplus of, say, just protein would result in less or no fat gain?!?

    Funny you mentioned that. Protein goal is also 350g, haha.

    That's rather ambitious.

    And expensive I would imagine.

    So, basically I just need to stick with it and accept I'm going to gain some fat, then when I'm happy with the muscle gains, it's time to cut. I'm not sure what all this arguing is over, but thanks for all the information thus far. I guess it's more a mental battle ahead for me than a physical one.

    Yes, Stay the course. You will gain some fat it's unavoidable. If you're really that concerned, increase your calories slowly over time.

    I don't have to bother looking at yours, i can tell you are doing it wrong just by looking at your photos.

    to answer your question, yes if you have a surplus, of course it matters if its fat/protein/carbs.

    let me ask you another stupid question in return. If someone has a 2K calorie diet, would there be any difference if it was all Fat compared to if it was all Protein?

    i will just answer for you in case you get it wrong, yeah of course it would.

    Of course macronutrients make a difference in terms of body composition. I have yet to see anyone arguing that. You're switching gears from the type of carbohydrates to the macronutrient breakdown of a diet. You die off on one topic and attempt to switch gears to something else...

    Your protein goal is 350g... that's enough evidence to support you haven't the slightest clue how this all really works in the grand scheme of things...you obtain knowledge from a bunch of other bro's and regurgitate it without educating yourself.

    How can you sit there bash her for putting forth an effort? That's rather low.

    I'm not new here, i was the one putting forward some suggestions for this guy based on what he is doing.
    I am not changing gears, she asked me that question about the difference between macros when in surplus.
    I put forward my suggestions because i have practiced them and they worked for me, all the other suggestions just say something along the lines of " it doesn't matter what you eat, if you just have to reduce your surplus"
    Thanks for chipping in here mate but it wasn't needed.

    Probably shouldn't answer you again, further trashing OP thread, but hey ho. You didn't answer the question as you have no clue but nice body shaming attempt - I have thick skin to match my thick gut so whatever, have fun with your 'no carbs after 6' or whatever.

    OP: there's great advice for you in this thread and your diet looks fine. Hopefully you can stick with it and see some great gains - I'll be joining you after this lousy 6 lb is gone for my second bulk, can't wait :)
