How to Eat to Build Muscle Without Getting Fat - FULL DAY OF EATING

Greetings from Moscow! Love your channel!

really helpful video! I've been going to the gym for about a year with my primary goal to lose fat. while i've done that and gained some muscle, i've really not made as much progress as I could if I just stuck to a diet. But, your videos really help me not feel bad about it and just enjoy the ride

Great content as always, have you got a video about being overweight and training/dieting but retaining muscle/ building muscle. If you haven't, i would love to see one you do.👍

If you’ve been cutting calories for a good period of time and pretty much done being in a deficit.

Is it better to just slowly increase is back up into a surplus? Or BOOM… skip the climb go straight into the surplus immediately going past that old maintenance level?

I'm currently trying to put on muscle mass (and I'm succeding I guess, my last measure showed a 40% lean mass overall, so better than before), but I'm so emotional about the fat coming with it. I've been on a diet for most of my adult life, I've been orthorexic for a very long time, and having all of a sudden to overeat and welcome fat is absolutely nerve wracking. But I'm seeing the good changes, I feel stronger, train harder, and I'm overall more capable and more resilient in the gym. It's just... weird. But your videos help me tremendously to remember that muscle mass doesn't just show up alone and clean and that I need more freedom in my meals to be able to sustain my growth. Thank you 🫂

Is there an issue with just replacing one meal with some chocolate or chocolate bars or just chips or something like that instead of stuffing yourself? I mean assuming you still hit your protein target with the other meals. I guess sugery stuff would probably more useful than high fat stuff. Or do you just not do it on principle?

This is the reason why I stopped checking weight during a recomp or diet/mass phase. I’ve maintained my body weight 210-215 lbs throughout my recomp phase which was almost a year in 8 wk blocks. In the end I looked completely different dropped a ton of fat and added a ton of muscle due to muscle memory. The scale can be very discouraging. As long as you are seeing progress in the mirror, and feeling great you’re fine. Check weight every now and then to make sure your diet is still working and there’s no big changes. Just Keep it simple, train hard, eat proper calories for your goal, keep strength and recovery your priority. Sleep. Drink plenty of water. Take your supps and super supps if you take ‘em.

You seem like such a sweet bloke Eugene!!

Give the dog some meat 😊

Why do you have so many bulshit?

BS

The best project you will ever work on is you.

Just eat more junk? Getting calories on the cleanest bro food is easy for me, unfortunately....but, it's not challenging for most to get 5000+kcal per day by just including some chocolate milk, soda, and peanut butter.

Poor animals... :(

Hi eugene, during rest days the calorie intake should be the same as workout days?

i like how there are more people that share the same hobbies as gymrat and guitarist

I couldn't eat all that, then go into a full tilt workout. I'd either puke or shat myself.

I've gone hungry before. And yeah, being hungry is A LOT easier than having to f'ing force feed yourself.
