 Bodybuilding Diet - For how many days
Hi guys,
I have a question about diet.
My aim is to bulk up with lean mass. (Bulking up I imagine as the 'rugby player look' and the leaner look I am going for is more like being just short of a bodybuilder - eg a lean wrestler). My bodybuilding diet consists of an extra intake of roughly about 2,000 calories per day.
I am happy with my overall fat content at the mo - I have a little excess around the lower abs but I am sure I can remove that easily.
My question about diet is this: how many days after a workout should I continue to eat my bodybuilding diet? Eg if we take the extreme as working out once a week: then consuming the high calorie/boydbuilding diet for the whole 7day week would surely end up being stored as excess fat. So what is the cut off point to stop the intake of extra calories? Is it when your muscles lose that 'achy' feeling? 1 or 2days after a workout, etc etc?
I have been pretty puzzled about this as all diet plans seem to be for someone who works out 7days a week. I like to have about 4-5 workouts in a week.
Many thanks in advance for your help!
