Bulk Without Counting Calories — How to Do It?
Rely on your eyes and scale.
Whether you are losing weight or gaining muscle it is always advised to track your calorie intake.
You have always heard that tracking what you are putting in helps with attaining the goal faster and in a proper way.
But what if tracking calories every time you eat is not possible for you?
What if you are too busy to always track every food you are having?
It is not seeming realistic when you have a whole bunch of other stuff outside of gaining or losing weight right?
I have a realistic answer to that.
Here it is.
For this blog let’s take an example when you are bulking or let’s say lean bulking.
You can not afford to gain too much fat.
You want to maximize your muscle gains with a minimum amount of fat gain.
Without tracking calories, it may seem too tough until you started relying on your mirror.
Yes, you have read right.
When you can not track food, you mirror and in a few cases, your phone camera can be your best friend.
Start seeing yourself every day and see if you are seeing any progress.
Suppose you have started gaining fat at a rapid speed then consider decreasing the calories.
With a camera take a photo of yourself every month and compare them with the next month.
With the camera and mirror also use your weight scale as a way to track progress.
When you are not able to track calorie intake you have to take help from these substances.
The same goes when you are losing weight also.
This M-C-W (Mirror-Camera-Weight scale) combination can help you achieve any goal without tracking food.
Because believe it or not tracking calories is not possible (at least in most cases) when you are not deeply into fitness.
Your priorities are different; so doing this will make the health and fitness journey unsustainable.
A few tips when you are bulking
- Keep eating clean. Just because you are bulking do not have junk all the time.
- Increase your carb intake to get more energy during the workout.
- Recovery is still important.
- Have enough water.
- Progressive overload is key to growth.
- Do not go into a big surplus (200–500cal maximum).
- Gaining muscle without gaining extra fat will take time. So be patient.
I have made a 2000-calorie diet plan with workout support which you can get by paying as minimum as $1, or for free as you wish.
