Hello
i have been doing the bodybuilding 1 routine and now starting the 2 routine
i did a cut for a few months. Now want to do a bulk and run BB2
should I keep eating at maintenance calories as long as keep gaining some weight and size, or will that eventually stop so after 4 weeks regardless I should eat in a surplus? How surplus like plus 200 cals?
AC,
Thanks for the post. A few thoughts here regarding your current energy balance and what to do going forward.
If you’re currently gaining weight, as evidenced by the scale going up, you’re not at maintenance by definition. Rather, you’re in an energy surplus. If you’re gaining ~ 2-4 pounds a month, I would favor maintaining the current energy intake.
All good things must come to an end though, and your energy surplus will no longer work at some point. I’d recommend a 200-500 Calorie intake after a ~3 week period of weight stagnation.
