Great way to build mass you say. Well in the terms of more cals then more mass your right. In fact every thing you said is a solution to his problem. But at the same time a cannon can kill a fly, a chainsaw can cut out a tumor, and a guy can solve a problem by creating a bigger one. Speaking of problems lets start with you logic.
1. You say you eat bacon burgers and gain mass, no sh*t. 3500cals of lettuce puts on a pound.
Problem. While gaining muscel mass you are also gaining fat that could be avoided by eating more healthy fats (after bulking the less fat on you body the more effective your next cut is. see the connection mr.wizard)
2.You say people smoke, drink, and eat bad stuff and they are somewhat healthy, just do it on occasion.
Problem. Dont think he going for somewhat healthy (spent all summer cutting) and if you said on occasion then we got no problem, but you did so we do. The OP asked how to eat less and up cal count you said pizza, there for saying put pizza in your diet point blank.
3. You say eat a normal pizza
Problem. The pizza I said was healthy is LOW in cals, more cals less food is what the OP is looking for.
4.You say eating pizza wont break his gains
Problem. Your RIGHT, but wrong in context. If he starts a cut 1-2% higher body fat because of pizza in his diet then the first week or two he will be losing body fat that could of been avoided. So his gains are still there, yet they are covered with more fat making him look less cut.
5.You say 200g was just an example that would make you sick
Problem. No problem with an example, considering your example would be 50% fat on a 3,500 diet would make anyone sick, is pointless.
6. You say he is not a body builder but a armature lifter
Problem. Your right again confusus. But he is sculpting his body no matter what you call it. You ask a NFL and JV football player what they do, they will say play football. (although the NFL guy is roided out)
and who the f^ck are you to say he will never go pro.
7. You say protein consumption has not been studied for a century and are confused about what I meant by protein the body does not use.
Problem. The world health organization has been doing clinical studies for over a century, mostly to try to help solve hunger in 3rd world countries. Look it up college boy. And first you say only 10% of a shake is absorbed then your seem dumb founded when I say some is getting dumped in the toilet. Im lost with that one.
8.You say you know how to use your knowledge because your getting a degree.
MASSIVE PROBLEM. Your getting a degree because you can prove on paper you know what they say you need to know, to get a paper that says you know it. Being wise is knowing how to use your knowledge, being wise is understanding something beyond the sum of its parts. You say pizza, knowing that its a way to gain mass with out seeing the bigger picture of what the OP was trying to accomplish and at the same time giving advice that will make it harder for him to go pro if he wanted to. Even though you were spewing facts about this and that, you consistently missed the point. Showing in this case, degree or not, you were not using the knowledge properly.
