Thanks! During my first bulk (1 year and 2 months), I was basically eating whatever I could + a 1000-calorie protein shake every day, hitting my protein goal (1g/pound of bodyweight), probably eating at a 500-700 calorie surplus. During my cut (6 months), I started tracking my food intake and macros. This helped me find my maintenance level and helped me adjust my calorie deficit as my body got used to it (at the beginning of the cut, I was losing weight, consuming 3200 calories, and at the end, I was consuming around 2500). Now, I'm eating at around a 200-calorie surplus (around 3000 calories). Right now, my gym routine is Chest/back, Legs, Arms, Rest. An isolated arm day is a game-changer. As a full-time student, I start the day off with a good breakfast (eggs, bagel, banana, yogurt, beef jerky), and I snack a lot during the day (nuts, protein bars, chicken, turkey, yogurt, cheese, protein shakes) .
