a front desk guy in the gym tell me he gained 3kg in a week! I was like WTF?! are you kidding me?!

the gym guy :"u got shape, I know, but u have to grow, u have to eat more.."

me :" WTF 3kg in a week?! what do u eat?"

the gym guy: "I eat burgur every night before slp"

me:" (meh, gain fat...)"

I prefer clean than gaining fat.. for me that's not bulk, that's eating dirty and tell everyone u are in bulk phase

Gaining fat can be bulking as well,as long as you are gaining mass at the same time.But I will definitely not going to eat burgers every night for bulking lol.

So eating a burger every night can be considered as dirty? And you can confirm by eating a burger each night can gain fat? Wow, you're good!!

and this is why alot of people stays the same after traning for so long

afraid of gaining fat

ditch out burger pizzas rice and everything

end up getting barely enuf calories to sustain their life

Why are you mad? He's on a dreamer bulk. Nothing wrong.

Depends on what you mean by the 3 kg gain.

I can gain that much just by eating carbs, drinking alcohol and drinking water. It's not fat though but water retention. There's a ratio of water to carbs. My source was one of Bob Greene's book where he mentions that eating too much carbs will make body retain water. Add in gluten intolerance and other food intolerance, it's a lot of water retention.

Found this out when I decided after CNY this year to start tracking my food intake properly against daily weigh-ins. There were a couple of events when I just ate yellow noodles for lunch only and suddenly there is a 1-2 kg gain the next day. Then careful eating and still maintaining exercise lifestyle, I lose that 1-2 kg.

Yo-yo effect. Urgh.

can u judge anything from 'burger every night statement'? hw sure r u he not eating other else dirty stuff?

no mad.. jst his suggestion i shocked.. i can eat enough of calories without burger yo.. cleaner..

So burger, nasi lemak, aice cream, choc moist cake you considered as dirty? Do you actually know what is dirty bulk / clean bulk?

Or do you mean that the correct way to bulk is eat broccoli and chicken breast only?

might to explain more? Im on clean bulk as well.

Calories are calories.
Macros are macros.

I think you're confusing 'clean bulk vs dirty bulk' with 'healthy vs unhealthy'.

Clean bulking = following a set macro plan

Dirty Bulking = eating whatever you want, not calculating.

Contrary to popular belief, a diet of mcDs and fries that fits into a sensible macro plan is a clean bulk while uncontrolled amounts of brown rice and chicken is a dirty bulk.

Set a macro plan and follow it


People's ideas of eating "clean" now days is so distorted. For example people are:
1. Fearing anything that isn't low GI due to "insulin response"
2. Fearing fruit
3. Fearing milk, yet drinking whey
4. Fearing all fats
5. Fearing carbohydrates
6. Fearing catabolism if PWO shake is not taken exact 30.5343 min after exercise
.... list goes on.

the world would be a much better place with more humility TBH

I guess you quoted the wrong person here. I know what is dirty bulk, clean bulk . Just like akiratm and swks26 said, if a burger can fits your macro, then why not?

Would totally agree with both of you guys. Seems that people think that the best way to bulk is eating brown rice, broccoli, chicken breast, the no fun delicious food.

If it fits your macro, why not. Well, I guess they never see what the regs are eating here

Sory bruv, lemme stop you right there. The optimum time to down your PWO shake is broscientifically proven to be 21.7392 minutes after a workout. The anabolic window is small, make sure you lube up so you can make it through.

LOL! i must be doing wrong all the times.

in fact i took my PWO before sleep.keep forgetting to bring shake bottle to gym..

Is he very skinny ?
