Hello,
For my 5th cycle (bulk) I found that my average caloric intake for bulk should be around 3500 kcal (37yr old, 6' tall and currently 213lb). I have a desk job and train 3 times a week. I took 3000 kcal as being my maintenance.
I'd been cycling calories in the earlier cycles, going on 3600kcal on w/o days and 3200 on off days (I train early in the morning).
I've been reading a lot about fasting protocols and so but honestly I don't think I can handle such procedures, I have stomach issues and spreading my meals helps in the problem. Anyway I thought that it'd be beneficial to concentrate my intake a little more around my training.
So I was thinking of going around 4000 kcal on training days and 3000 on off, trying to reach at least 1000 kcal following the workout. I believe this would help although the idea of eating at maintenance on off days bothers me.
Want to hear opinions on this approach. Thanks.
