1482 741 1482 calories
which is basically alot lower compared to my current intake, current carb intake is double actually.
So assuming I don't use this intake as my diet, and I use the current one...will the excess carbs and fat negatively impact my muscular gains? (neglecting the fattening effects of excess carbs and fat  )
ps. I'm probably going to modify my diet to the one calculated above , I'm just wondering how excess intake will affect gains... |
you will gain fine but you will gain more fat than you want most likely. I would try the lower Calorie intake first then after about 2 weeks to a month if you don't see any gains (and by gains I mean muscle, so you would have to do you bf% again) then I would up it by the number I suggested above. and if you gain muscle in 2 weeks to a month then redo you diet to reflect your new lean muscle number. it's all about finding the most efficient number that works for you diet to optimize muscle gains and keep fat gains, (cause in bulking you will gain some fat), to a low number.
