At the moment i would class my self as bulking but i still eat very clean, no shi-te foods , but at the same time i have not lost any body fat. i have always been around 14-15% cant remember being less or more really.

even bulking tho i would be on a downa to put on a load of fat so i voted no. but im a newbie and dont knw if my opinion counts lol

im hopeing once i do a cut and lower my bf the next time i bulk i wont go anywhere near 15% but maybee maintain at about 12%.

Bulking defo aint an excuse for me to get fat. I lost 6 stone I dont wanna put it all back on. Eating good clean food for like 14-16 weeks then cutting is what im doing!!!

and it emphasised previous posts that stated bulking is a waste of time if you are carrying too much fat. you did end up over doing it.

i have no intention to bulk... i've been bulky too bloody long.. i'm not going to add extra weight now...

Totally agree and i always try to. My off season diet is just more of what i eat when im dieting 90% of the time. As in dieting i have a cheat meal a week but sometime allow myself a reasonable clean cheat meal for a 2nd one. I think the only major difference for me other than amounts is the fact that if i want something as an extra, something like a bit of a cookie, or some toast, flapjacks etc i will allow myself to have them. Just a bit more relaxed.

1. Bulking diets are just an excuse to eat like a pig and get fat in about 75% of cases

2. A lot of lads use the BBing diet as an excuse not to eat their fruit and veg

Actually, the 'cutting' diet is a load of poo too most of the time.

I have been tracking weight and body fat percentages, and in all honesty, as far as I can tell, I put on more muscle when I am in the 'lean' or athletic zone for women.

And my abs ARE showing.

How about just eating in a healthy way 95% of the time?

Surely a bulking diet should be as clean as a cutting diet, only you're consuming more calories overall and more carbs?
You should still be eating veg, salad etc for the vitamins and minerals, and it's not as if they take up loads of your carb allowance as they're nearly all about 80% water.

I'd expect to gain some extra fat on a bulking diet, but if you're keeping tabs on your overall calorie intake Vs expenditure and keep you foods clean, there shouldn't be a lot.
