jiz whats your diet like on an every day basis when youre growning?
mentioned that on the first page
training days 3500 kcals
rest days around 2800 or even lower... (i will do cardio on rest days this bulk (just some light jogging/incline walking for 45 mins or so), but if i notice that cuts into my regeneration then ill stop that).
i will even run a caloric deficit on rest days here and there probably every second rest day or even every rest day, depending on my rate of weight gain.
ill most likely go zero or at least low carbs for these days.
a good thing is that i can enjoy some very high fat foods then that i would usually avoid otherwise (im more of a high carb guy).
so it doesnt feel like a "diet day" at all, it rather gives me the opportunity to indulge in some high fat foods.
and if im gonna do a relatively high fat day then ill drop carbs to zero, i dont mix high fats with high carbs. pointless imo unless youre a "hardgainer".
tomorrow ill probably only get a tad over 2000 kcals or so and zero carbs. only gonna do some light cardio in the evening.
AND ill get myself a whole grilled chicken after that, ive been looking forward to that for weeks lol
in the past these deficit rest days never hampered my weight gain at all they give some protection from spilling over and prevent fat accumulation very well for me.
they also GREATLY take stress off the digestion system and relieve the bloat from slin/MK...
when i pound carbs and high kcals for days on end without breaks then at some point i wake up with a bloated stomach, which always hints to me that im spilling over and starting to gain fat.
deficit days prevent that and if im gonna run a deficit its not gonna be on the days i train.
