yeah i definately agree. some people don't have to count calories. but for others, especially hard gainers, it's much easier to set goals based on realistic results. for bulking especially. it's extremely difficult if you don't have a meal plan and are eating in the 4000 calorie range.

theres no need to count calories man, just eat more if u wanna bulk. its slightly more complicated if u are trying to cut. but imo there is no reason to count ur calories!!

I would have to agree on this one.

When I bulk, I only listen to my body and try to eat as healthily as possible.

However, during a cut, you might want to start counting calories.

I dont agree with this not everyone has to count but sometimes just going eat when you know when to eat sometimes doesnt meet all the cals you need it happens to me its alot better to count

Im eating about 3500+ a day. But that includes close to a 1000 calories in weight gainer. It's hard to keep up with my calories, i kind of guesstimate, because I sit on my ass all day at gnc i just bring alot of food and munch about every hour and drink alot of water. I feel absolutely engorged by the end of the day though.

Im trying to bulk from 183 to 200. Considering the fact i probably ate about 2000 calories a day before with a dirty diet, im hoping to see good results. And then ill cut a bit probably drop calories to 2000 unless my body doesn't like that to much.

On days that I eat nothing but fast food (Mcdonalds, Checkers, Burger King) I could be looking at a good 4000 calories per day.

How can you afford to eat 3000+ calories? I'm getting complaints from just about everyone with just 2500, ish, sometimes not even that.

I live at home with my family. so i get the three big meals right there. before vacation, i used to get another meal at school. so that's about 2000 calories. I pay for my own protein from the money i saved from a summer job.

the rest of the stuff i use things that are calorie dense but cheap. so chick peas, beans, nuts and peanut butter are a staple part of my diet. Peanut butter is around 100 cals per spoon. a can of chick peas is about 50 cents; 300 calories, 16 grams of protein.
i am sick of most of those foods right now, but hey, it's the price we pay.

uh mayb for u soccerking.....

im eatin like 1800-1900 right now cutting

was bulking around 2900-3000

I'm right there with you Forsaken. I'll probably be bulking on 2500 or so calories when the time comes. All it takes is a little more dedication when cutting but think of all the money we save on food! :)

About 2300-2500, but it doesn't really do much for me as far as loosing fat goes, I just stay the same weight, afraid to go lower for what it might do to my performance.
