MFP Calorie Recommendations
Hi, just wondering if it's worth me overshooting MFP calorie recommendations (the same way i would overshoot my TDEE when trying to bulk?), or if this is just going to push me towards more fat /unhealthy weight gain? Thanks!

The role of sodium in bulking
Hey guys. I see that the daily food diary for MFP includes a recommended sodium intake. Now, as a guy who has avoided table salt for decades, I have no idea the role it plays in our bulking plans. Can anyone enlighten me please?

Pointers on my daily food please
Hi guys, So, I've been working on my food diary (i've let it slip for a few days :/ ) , and I think i've got my daily macros pretty much figured out. I like very simple. Basic meals, cheap/efficient.
