Reply With QuoteYes it matters how many calories you take in. Eat too much and you get fat.
I think you are a little overboard on the protein, I would look at more carbs.

Does it matter how much calories intake when bulking...
Hi
I am currently bulking i just wanted to know 1 thing: If i eat clean(No junk) ex:chicken breast,tuna,wholewheat/grain pasta and bread,brown rice,cottage cheese,almond butter,etc...Can i eat as much as i want?or i still have to count my calories.
Because i am a BIG eater.i am 31, 6'2'' 208 lbs so for example if i eat one day over 5500-6000 calories is that o.k. or its too much?
As long as i get my 350-400g of protein a day does it matter how much GOOD carbs i am taking in? thanks

Yeah man you can go over board and I bet your not using those 6000 calories so you'll be a slob if you don't slow down bro.

People react differently to certain levels of plus calories. It is all trial and error. However, they are generalities. If you are eating 4800-5000 and putting on weight and you went as high as 5500-6000 you would probably be putting on some noticable fat after a few weeks.

You have to look at where you are coming from. If your normal diet is 2500 calories to maintain you dont go to 6000 calories overnight without getting fat or having digestion issues. If you aren't making use of those calories (gaining weight) then you probably already do.
I take digestive enzymes especially with red meat meals or anything large.
If you eat too much of anything in excess yes you can get fat, it doesn't matter that its 'good,' there is only so much room in the body for glycogen and many carb GI ratings are based on a given portion. Too much whole wheat pasta will end up being worse than the GI you probably looked at, for example.Motivation Bench form Charles Poliquin When I let go of what I am, I become what I might be. Lao-Tzu
