i have asked this question on a couple different boards just curious to see the answers that i get. I have read a lot of different views on this subjet there are guys that eat up to 8000 calories when bulking and some eat about 4000 calories, how do i determine how much calories i should be eating for a bulking diet??? and since it's bulking i know that i will be eating a lot of foods that are dense in calories, keeping in mind that i'm trying to eat somewhat clean, what are some examples? I'm 5'9 185lbs and about 10% bf. My goal is to reach about 200-210lbs by the end of february or even march. any help would greatly be appreciated.
calorie intake for bulking??

you have to look at the people suggesting 4000-8000 calories. Ill bet you a dollar they arent under 10% bf.solidd said:
It doesnt take that much to gain quality weight at 185 lbs.
lean bodyweight x 15 is a ballpark for maintenence cals. Add a few hundred to that to get a ballpark "bulking" number. If i were you id do 2800 cals for a few weeks and closely monitor your weight each week, in the morning, on an empty stomach, after going to the bathroom.
Eat 8000 calories a day for a month and see what happens. If you want to resemble a human being then i wouldnt suggest it.
