same as the title if your someone relatively big say over 220 what would you say is a decent amount of carbs to eat when bulking
*you’re
However much it takes for you to gain muscle. Kind of a vague answer I know, but you have to keep bumping up your macros if you want to gain more muscle. Also depends what kind of eating ‘style’ you’re following, ie carb cycling, anabolic diet, Massive eating, etc, etc.
Here’s a calculator that Berardi has available. Might be of help to you.

thanks for the help
As many as you can without getting too fat. Seriously.
Carbs are good for bulking. Eat up.
I agree, just keep on eating up until you notice that you’re getting too much.
You have to find out what works for you, thats why bulking is a dangerous tool for Fat-aphobes so early on. Further down in one’s career, they know their bodies, they can bulk while putting on minimal fat

I disagree. The thing most of these guys should be doing as beginners is not making this complicated.
The following will get more guys really big than anything else:
-following a very basic OUTLINE for sets and reps and body parts without changing shit up every 4 fucking weeks other than increasing the weight used.
-understanding that you can NOT predict how much someone needs to eat. You eat until you gain and base how you eat passed that on the progress made.
-Focusing on gaining 2-5lbs a month and not being afraid to push limits…meaning if you gained 8lbs this month and gained a ton of strength while not noticing much fat gain,m then keep fucking doing what you are.
-training with people more experienced.
The new trend of “fat-o-phobes” won’t ever get that big to start with because they fear fat more than they love seeing themselves grow muscle.
I personally don’t have that problem. I’ll take blurred abs in a second if I gained an inch on my arms.

Oh no no, im not saying worry about that shit now. Hell no. A strong foundation needs to be built, and since it is essentially impossible to know exactly how much you need at that level, go for it. its the Fat-aphobes that dont make progress. I spent a good 2 years in that slum myself early on. OP when i said “find out what works for you,” i shouldve been a lot more specific. That is a multi-year long process.
The answer to the question “How many carbs do you really need to bulk” is dependent of the bulker, this is why i said it depends on who you are and “what works for you.” The moment you allow yourself to be sucked into phobias is the moment you start to stall progress. I shouldve been a bit more clearer.
