Eating for Size
by priest943 (Moderator @ www.IronLife.com)
Do you want to be as big as you can be? Muscle isn’t just built with protein. It takes a ton of calories just to make a pound of new muscle. If you want to pack on a ton of muscle, you must eat a ton of food and  not just the low fat kind.
In the search for all out muscle gains don’t be afraid of bulking up there will be plenty of time for cutting once you have gained new muscle. All the eating clean stuff the top guys claim is bullshit. Big freak bbers use a shovel to eat with. Your not going to build 20in arms on rice cakes and chicken. Low fat meals do not supply the necessary calories to induce muscular growth.
The number one thing that holds back a person from reaching their full potential as a bodybuilder is not eating enough. The word diet and bodybuilding should never be used together only in contest or cutting mode should one watch the fat and calories. All other times it should be open season full on feeding.
It blows my mind the number of people who think they have bad genetics when they just have poor eating habits. Food should be your number one anabolic. All the steroids /GH /insulin in the world wont build one ounce of muscle without food. Success in bodybuilding is directly related to the amount of food you eat.
The low carbohydrate diet everyone is doing these days is insane when it comes to building muscle mass. Take two people put one on  a low carbohydrate and the other on a diet high in carbohydrates and the 2nd one will have a lot more muscle over time than the first.
In the quest for size there is no good reason to try to stay lean. Look at the top pros today the freaks have ever extending stomachs even in contest shape. Is it from GH? Insulin? I don’t believe so. It’s from force-feeding. They have to eat so much to maintain their enormous size they have stretched their stomachs so much so that they don’t even go down in contest mode.
A muscle will burn 14 calories per pound a day at rest just to exist. There are 600 calories in a pound of muscle vs. 3500 in a pound of fat but it takes upwards of 5000 calories depending on the person just to make a pound of muscle, so it is easy to see why you need to eat plenty of calories in the quest for size.
The term (eat to grow) never had more value then when used to talk bodybuilding. Everyone can make huge jumps in muscle mass once you master eating. In the end to be a monster eat like one.
