Question on bulking

[dsc123]

When trying to build as much muscle mass as possible is it ok to eat as much as possible of anything? Aslong as protein is high and I keep an eye on the fats?

Dsc, No.. You need to get your fats from healthy sources such as; Olive oil and Natty PB.. And eating everything, you will wined up getting fat. Of course while bulking your going to gain some body fat ,but the goal should be to gain as little as possible. I recommend slowly raising your calories in portions of maybe 400 - 600 calories a week higher than maintenance to see how your body responds. Although, Protein being a very important key to gain muscle and mass, you should watch where you get it ,and how much you take it. Too much will be stored as fat I believe. If you do not care about gaining fat you should still try to eat somewhat of a healthy regimen. Best of luck. Remember eat, lift, hydrate, eat, rest. Judging by your lack of knowledge about eating, makes me think you may not have the best routine set up, including reps, sets, and exercises.. Post that up for us to see also if you'd like.

what he said. A clean bulk is much more productive than gaining 15 pounds, with 12 coming from bodyfat.

Kk, what you have said is more understandable and what I was expecting to hear to be honest, was just hoping that it could have been as simple as the first response, I've had help from people on here about my training already thanks though

If it were simple then I wouldn't be 6'3'' 185lbs.

Clean bulk is the way to go. Gaining too much fat ends up being way more work in the end. You can get plenty of calories from quality food. Remember to eat enough quality fat and protein.

No, I would try and keep it mainly from good sources. Read meat, egg yolks, extra virgin olive oil, udos oil, nuts. Keep it clean 6 days a week then give yourself a little bit of a break 1 day a week.

breaks are for the weak

Well, on a bulk there is certainly more leniency for cheat meals, but entire days I think is a bit much.

Also, try and look at cheat meals as more than just crap food. To me, a cheat meal wouldn't be total junk food, but maybe a homemade cheeseburger or at the very worst chicken wings. From those sources I can still get some productive nutrients. For instance, the burger could be extra lean ground beef and bacon (which loses a great deal of its calories and fat when cooked, anyway) for protein, whole wheat bun for carbs, fibre, extra protein, lettuce, onions, tomato, etc. Maybe some cheese...calcium, protein, vitamins. All in all, it ends up having some non-ideal elements, but it also has a lot of good. Nevertheless, it's enough to keep you dieting steady on the less exciting stuff like spinach, oats, and fish.

I look at cheat meals as "non-ideal" or "less productive" meals.
