Thanks bro. I admit the holidays got the better of me. I was doing a lean bulk and watched what I ate almost all yr. when the holidays came around I ate whatever I wanted. I didn't get to far gone but my abs are def not that cut up right now lol.
To the original poster. I find if I follow these simple macro rules it helps to keep a nice lean bulk going. I got this from Larry Scott
Your meals should be like this.
Protein the size of your hand with fingers included.
Carbs the size of your palm
Fats half your palm.
I find if I eat oats, brown rice sweet potato,Quinoa as my carbs with some lean protein for all my meals I can keep nice and lean while adding lean mass.
