Is a calorie surplus mandatory for muscle gain?

[Zeta]

I thought it was but recent discoveries made me think otherwise. Do you have to eat in a calorie surplus in order to gain muscle, or is just a sufficient amount of protein enough to build new muscle mass?

 

[BideltMaxer]

Not mandatory at all

Just roid

You could given how hard you train
That diet is mainly protein and fats , both are crucial for muscle building while keeping your body at a ketosis state burning fat as well

But @Prettyboy s diet would contain less calories then my maintenance therefore putting me in a deficit. Should I just add some carbs to aid me in gaining muscle?

Yes , add carbs like milk & honey , if you are still need extra calories then use a little more butter when cooking your eggs / beef or whatever your preferred choice of protein is

Not really. I stopped tracking calories, just eat intuitively until I am full and I keep gaining muscle while losing fat(I've been gymcelling for 1.5 years, so long past newbie gains)

What do you think about adding rice? I’m scared that diary will increase acne break outs

 

[IntelligentCel]

Just get steroids and consume enough protein (200-300 grams a day).

Although it may not be the same for you. I just naturally stay at around 10% bf, so I guess I just return to my setpoint

I drink 2.3l of organic pasteurised whole milk per day and have noticed 0 difference in break outs. In fact rice gives me more break outs than milk does. I think it's more of a individual thing

Most things are

White rice is very good yes
Another one is sour dough bread , these are the least processed sources of carbs along with potatoes

Not very smart
The goal is to avoid processed, unnatural starches / carbs like white bread, pasta , basically the foods that will bloat you and cause gut complications
