How many calories (times bodyweight-in lbs) do you bulk on?

[Monkey Man]

eg. you weight 200 pounds, if you bulked on 20 times your bodyweight you would consume 4000 calories a day

On my last bulk I bulked around 18 times bodyweight.

Just used 40 times bodyweight in kg instead, having about 10xbw in pro/fats and 20x bw in carbs

i didnt actually calculate it based on the x bodyweight but i bulked at around 19x BW..

macro breakdown was 400P/370C/60F

400 grams of protein? Shit thats a lot! Do you have about 2 times your bodyweight in pounds? And if so, why? I've seen so much debate around how much protein you should get, from 0.75 times per bodyweight to up to 3! (pounds)

Why have you chosen this amount?

400g is a load!! whats ur bodyweight? ur only 70-80kg right!!??? :shock:

This is where i saw the majority of my results.

I could probably do it more 'efficiently' but i'm loving my results at the moment

i'm 84kg.. mabey 8% at the moment.

strong coincidence the guys with decent physiques are advocating higher protein... time to adjust my diet a bit i think

I hope its not true, reeeeally don't wana have to eat that much protein

You will need an understanding girl/wife and some metamucil

[Monkey Man]

I just don't understand how our bodies could possibly cope with so much protein, can all that really be processed? Really? (2 times bw in pounds)

How much calories a body need? Is there any chart plan as per weight and body requirements. I am 25 years old and my body weight is 145lb, height 5'11.
