Skeptic, I lost 40 lbs down to
ideal weight eating a
surplus of
calories just like Billy Craig did.
Cutting to 10 % is
ideal for several reasons: it preserves insulin sensitivity and hormonal balance, it allows you to maintain a
calorie surplus for many months before having to reduce body fat levels, and it saves you from long, grueling cuts.
You see, if you have properly created the
ideal caloric
surplus and are therefore eating the right amount of
calories each day, it will cause you to gain weight at the
ideal rate.
If, after adding
surplus calories to your estimated maintenance level, you are indeed gaining weight at this
ideal rate consistently, cool.
So, take the estimated
calorie maintenance level you got in the previous step and create your
ideal caloric
surplus.
The last thing I need to mention about your
calorie intake is that, once you create the
ideal surplus, there is a good chance you will reach a point where your weight stops going up at this recommended rate and instead starts to just maintain.
There's an
ideal surplus of
calories that you can find by calculating your maintenance
calorie count and your
surplus.
