does getbig pretty much agree that the "eat big to get big" principle is a joke?

there i one rule forgetting huge that is forgotten...if you want to get big you have to be rich! eating big is also important but it's side effect of buying the right foods etc which do cost alot...look at martin kjellstrom...that guy was a millionaire BEFORE he went into bb...he blew up to contest ready 270 lbs from 140 lbs within 5 years...look at all those young guys living at there moms as well...people doing shady things at the side...this gives extra cash to put in for bb...reality people

So should I only be eating when 'hungry' or forcing down calories to go 10-20% over maintenance calories?

I'm joining the anabolicalo school of pondering...

your not ready to join that school...

5 or so years ago we didnt know how good we had it in terms of food cost. Now a medium chicken is over £5 when just a few years ago the local butcher did 3 for £5.

Yes if you want to get fat and lose muscle later eat all you want.

if you're eating lean beef & potatoes and your greens...

it's just about impossible to eat too much, IMO.  Yes, if eating Subway and chik parm and milkshakes, can get fat fast.

But if ya choose the right kinds of foods... I think one gets full before he gets fat.
