FAQ
How much surplus is too much? +
Past ~500 cal/day, additional calories increasingly become fat rather than muscle. Lean bulks at +250 minimize fat gain.
Why 1 g protein per lb? +
Research consensus for trained lifters in a surplus. Untrained or older lifters benefit from slightly higher (1.2 g/lb).
