8000 calories a day

juggernaut · 09-02-2006, 09:04 AM

I saw an article a few years ago where Chris Aceto said that if you double your maintenance calories once every 7 days, then every 5 days after two months, you'd gain at least one lb of lowfat muscle per week.
Any legitmacy to this or is this malarky?

Compared to high fat muscle?

Muscle is muscle and fat is fat. Sounds like musclehead lore to me.

I take in close to 6000 cals everyday....

Do you have your diet posted somewhere?

So it's cycling high cals but never dropping below maintenance. The high cal cycle increases with frequency once your body has adjusted somewhat. From what I've read in the past metabolism follows intake to a degree.

I don't think I'd double my maintenance cals on an overfeed day. Anabolic or not. I think this was likely written with the chemically enhanced BB'r in mind.

I posted it once, Don't misunderstand though, it's not terribly clean. Since my schedule's changed I can only squeeze that many cals in on days I get up early, like 4 times a week.

Seeing as how tissue repair is an ongoing process, I would think a streamlined surplus of calories would make more sense. Your body can only synthesize so much protein at one time; loading up on that many calories in one day seems pointless.
