Tag: Eating a lot

According to a 2019 review, a calorie surplus of around 350 to 500 calories, combined with regular resistance training, is optimal for muscle gain. However, this leads many people to wonder: is it okay to eat a lot when bulking, or is there a smarter approach than unrestrained eating?

According to a 2019 study published in the journal *PLOS Genetics*, some healthy, thin individuals are predisposed to a lower likelihood of obesity due to having fewer gene variants associated with weight gain. This may help explain why am I so skinny even I eat a lot, but genetics are only one piece of a complex puzzle involving metabolism, diet, and overall health.
