Reply With QuoteThe thread you refer to does not differentiate between men and women, so the 15 to 18 cals/lb should be applicable to both sexes.
While the whole 15 to 18 cals per/lb is a good starting point, you may require more - I myself am up to 20 cals per/lb, and am gaining almost nothing - mind you, I'm an ectomorph - my genetics for mass-building are terrible
Good luck

Yeah, it's going to be trial and error to figure for your specific body. But that gauge is a good place to start with.
I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain...

Re: calories question
To bulk I would suggest starting at 15 cals per lb. and adjust as needed. Try not to gain more than 2lbs a week.Originally posted by Luna
