Is it an effective way to drop body fat? Ill be lifting 6 times a week too.

I went from a 1750 cut to a 3000 bulk haha

Sorry 2750 haha

Shall i drop my calories abit to 1750?

Good answers:) thanks all

But i dont know how many calories ive burnt! Haha :(

Could i just pop my calories up by like 200 on days i do football, squash etc? Would that counteract the calorie burn?

Haha wow okay! Ill see how i get on!

Obviously ill eat clean foods to try hit my macros, but is the odd dirty food forbidden? Surely if its a bulk as long as it fits your macros you should be ok?

Okay. Ill swallow my fears and go with it. Btw one quick question, do you ever eat unhealthy foods to hit your macros, say im low on fat, have like a chocolate bar or a milkshake? Or is thst forbidden?

Haha. Its so mentally difficult! For 2 years my mentaliyy has been dont eat that you need to lose weight, now changing my mentality to trying to gain weight is weird haha

Sorry man. I think im just scared as its my first bulk. I dont want to get fat. I know i will put some fat on but i dont want to mess up and get really fat again

I Only thing that changed was indecided tomgo for lb week instead of 0.5

I know i was all set with everything yesterday then i asked ky PT and he set me that so was just confused haha :(

Scrambled egg with whole milk for breakfast is prbably a good starter then haha?

So..aslong as i hit the protein and fat minimums and try my best to hit carbs and eat at the surplus being 2500 calories that should be fine?

I have no problem hitting 138g protein, carbs im ok with just fat is a issue haha

Protein and fat minimums are a must then, not so much carbs?

Okay mate ill do that. Do you meal prep with a bulk or just go with the flow and be vigilant on tracking macros? Im just looking at what i could eat when i start and im struggling with a diet plan haha

Ok. So ill weigh in on a 2500 calorie clean bulk once every friday morning if i dont gain for 2 weeks on trot ill increase the calories, by how much? 100, 200? And ill just readjust the MFP maconutrient goal but keep with the ratios? So if my weight goes from 169 to 170 ill do, 0.8x170 etc...? If that makes sense?

Do you weigh yourself once a week? And if you dont gain, up your kcal adjusting your macros as you get heavier?

Was originally gonna do but as its my first bulk it will take time to get used too so someone reccomended me four haha

Should i increase that protein grammage to 1g per body so 169? Also do you take shakes on a bulk cause that would limit your intake of whole foods like chicken etc?

Just used scooby http://imgur.com/a62WLgJ My maconutriebt plan ok then?

Well, MFP tells me to cut at 500 deficit a day 1 lb a week so 1750kcal. Maintain 2250. So 2500 to gain 0.5 a week. Inpresume thats my TDEE? how can i be sure? Also should i maybe raise the protein abit? Feels a little low haha?

Ok so my maconutriebt bulk ratio looks fine?

135 too low then?

Haha yeah. Like bulking too me would be adding size muscle and strength? So why cut down on protein? Haha

Brilliant! Okay mate ill do that. Thankyou!

Ok guys thankyou for all your help and input! Im gonna start a clean bulk for 3 months and a structured lifting program with my PT then cut again for may/june!
