Does it matter how much calories intake when bulking...

[get456]

approx triple your BMR, not accounting for individual metabolic rate or your exercise intensity

just pointing out exactly what I said

my intention was to say that 6K calories is EXTREMELY high, and clean or not clean, that is too many for most people that arent competitive open class power lifters or running 500000 miles per day

Jesus..if you can eat 6,000 clean calories a day then you are a machine. I have trouble eating 3,000 calories (clean) a day sometimes..

Eating 6,000 clean calories is certainly a hell of a lot better than eating shitty ones, but the same fundamentals apply..what you don't burn will be stored..and all of it will not turn into muscle..

I used to go as high as 9K a day. LoL

However I would not recomend that unless one is well over 200 lbs, on lots of gear, and with a high metabolism.

Yes bro you intake matters. If you are just trying to gain natural, I would say break down all your activity in a day using an online calculator, estimate how much you total caloric expenditure is for an entire day and eat around 500 calories surplus and adjust from there.
