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

if you are able to burn some of it up i dont see why it would be a problem, just dont over do it

Everything on the dollar menu. No just eat a lot of fatty meat with potatoes sweet/red/yams whatever. 3 shakes a day post work out, eat Storms rice pudding. I personally love about 4-6 double cheese burgers from Mc Donalds for lucnch while I am bulking, you should never stop eating try for like 6k cals a day for a few months even a month you can put on atleast 10 lbs

Yes but how much muscle will be in the 10 lbs you are talking about?? is it going to be mainly fat?

It not about muscle when bulking the highier the bf% the better the environment for anabolism. When you cut is when you need to worry about keeping muscle. The last thing on your mind should be getting fat if your bulking get big then cut. You have much to learn training is different when you cut then when you bulk and obviously so is eating. I'm giving you advice to get as fat and sloppy as you possibly can then cut.

Also, why don't you put up your routine and diet in detail.
