Black Rose	Bulking up is a part of bodybuilding. All the pro's and amateurs bulk up and then cut down for a competition. Without bulking up, your progress would come to a snail's pace. When 'bulking' you should focus on gaining as much muscle as you can, while keeping fat gain at a minimum. Your best judge is you. And your friend is the mirror. Do not base your results on weight, charts and logs. Sure those are necessary, but are not the prime factor on determining your progress. Before you start keeping a log of all your lifts, and measurements. Record your progress every 2 weeks, that way you can determine if you are heading down the right path. When bulking up you should keep body fat at a minimum. Gaining more than 2 lbs per week is bad, and it means you are over eating and should cut your calories by 200 or 400 calories to ease off the fat gains. Our goal is to gain muscle and not fat. The Best Type Of Diet For Bulking Up When bulking up, you need an organized eating plan. Also you have to educate yourself about carbs, protein and fats. You need to know how calories work, and how to calculate your meals. First off you need to form a ratio. Through years of experience, I've found that 50/30/20 (carbs,protein,fat) works best for gaining quality weight. Now since the body gets used to the amount of food you're giving it, you will have to 'UP' the calories by 300 every 2 weeks. The first week that you start bulking you will go +500 calories and then 300 calories every 2 weeks from then on. The 300 calories will be the same ratio as your diet. You will bulk up for 14-16 weeks, or until you decide to cut down. Let's say you were eating 2000 calories before you started. That's your maintenance. First you will add 500 for the first 2 weeks, and then 300 for every other week. Therefore, it will look something like this. This is only a model, so add 500 calories to your maintenance calories. Starting at 3,000: Weeks 1-2 = 3,500 cal Weeks 3-4 = 3,800 cal Weeks 5-6 = 4,100 cal Weeks 7-8 = 4,400 cal Weeks 9-10= 4,700 cal Weeks 11-12= 5,000 cal Weeks 13-14= 5,300 cal Week 15-16 = 5,500 cal You can stop at anytime if you feel you reached your goal, or are gaining too much fat. Let the mirror be your judge. Don't follow the scale or a program. It would be foolish if you are happy at week 13 and you continue to week 16 and gain 5 or more lbs of fat. Always look in the mirror. Having logs and looking at the scale is fine too, it's actually necessary, but always let the mirror be your main source for judging your progress. Now since you know how many calories you have to eat, it's time to see what you will be eating. Carbs, protein and fats are what your diet is made out of. You know the ratio you need; now we need to figure out what each of you will be having and what foods are great sources of each macronutrients. PLEASE VOTE ME AS A BEST ANSWER !!

ladsmrt	Most people who answer you seriously and thoughtfully will probably advise you to have a well-rounded, healthy diet with low-fat proteins ( Whey-protein shakes, cottage cheese, fish & chicken); fruits, salads, and a moderate amount of complex carbs. I would add that you need to get educated by reading Muscle & Fitness magazine, too. It really is a wealth of information, and if Joe Wieder trained Arnold Schwartzenegger and Lou Ferrigno, he can train you, too. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Blackfly	Its amazing you got 38 answers for your question and only 1 person posted a source for their answer, and it didnt even pertain to your question. Its not only important WHAT you eat but equally or even more important WHEN you eat it. Read this article, put it favorites. You will gain lean body mass like never before. In place of the shakes that are written about in the article, I use real food like egg whites and instant rice or baked potato, but after a few weeks I was eating alot of the food in the house, I started supplementing with Whey concentrate and Dextrose/maltodextrin. Liquid meals are a powerful tool in building muscle, read the article and learn why. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No
