and if you are getting fatter every week you are eating too much.
easier than all those calculations.
and in what fantasy world do bbers only eat enough to gain only lean muscle?
if you're a bber, you should know how to diet off the extra fat.
so by 'eating too much' means you're not getting fatter, then eating just enough means you're not getting fatter? i.e. staying the same?
if your only goal is to be lean everyday of the year and walk around with abs, serratus, xmas tree, and ripped glutes (all hidden under shirts and pants), then that's fine.
but for the majority of bbers, especially bbers using anabolics, bbing is about building muscle and training.. and if everyday is a contest to you, how do you expect to make any progress?
you have to make a choice and decide if the juice is worth the squeeze.
you want to diet and suffer and deprive yourself of food, and have shitty workouts because you're kcal-restricted? that's fine.... but in my opinion, most would prefer to have enough kcals and energy and have great workouts and be happy for the majority of the year and suffer and kcal-restrict only when they need to.
