Instead, the popular YouTube star is now locked in as he looks ahead to his first competition as a professional. To that end, Sulek is making changes to his nutrition in order to maximize muscle growth during his bulking phase. Here\u2019s what he revealed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe plan is to continue to grow,\u201d shared Sulek regarding <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=K_naLSdkvZo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">his intention to up his calorie intake for more mass during a recent vlog.<\/a> While the athlete has not announced his next competition, building the best possible physique is clearly the number one priority for now. \u201cI\u2019m not saying jump to five freaking gazillion calories a day,\u201d he reassured his 4-million-plus YouTube followers. \u201cI think I have been steadily gaining size, slow and steady is not a bad approach, but not in the pace that I wanna see,\u201d explained the star, noting that he intended to increase calories in order to bulk up during his offseason. Here are some of the changes that he discussed.<\/p>\n<h2>Eat More Eggs<\/h2>\n<p>\u201cThree eggs for breakfast is not a high protein meal,\u201d dismissed the man mountain. \u201cYou gotta get up in that seven range, actually more like eight, if you want to hit that 50-ish gram [of] protein per meal kind of mark, which I personally think is about the sweet spot.\u201d While <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nutritionix.com\/food\/eggs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">three large eggs offer 19 grams of protein<\/a>, increasing the serving to eight eggs would provide 50.7 grams, hitting Sulek\u2019s goal.<\/p>\n<p>Sulek also notes that his eating regime of five meals at 50 grams of protein per meal will provide a total of 250 grams of protein per day. \u201cAs long as you are around that gram per pound (of bodyweight) kind of ratio, I think you\u2019re about freakin\u2019 solid,\u201d exclaimed Sulek.<\/p>\n<h2>Eat Less Fat<\/h2>\n<p>While Sulek\u2019s desire is to digest more calories, the bodybuilder explains that eating more fat is not a focus of his. \u201cI\u2019m trying to chill on my fat intake,\u201d he revealed. \u201cJust because, it doesn\u2019t have an awesome correlation, at least from what I\u2019ve seen [regarding] my actual in the gym performance. You know, as long as I\u2019m getting a good amount of red meat, and whatever kind of omega 3s from like, egg yolks or sardines and everything else, then I think I\u2019m solid.\u201d The rising competitive bodybuilder opts to stay in the 100-120 grams of fat range which is a lot less than many who aim more than a gram of fat per pound of bodyweight. Sulek\u2019s message is that you should be able to tweak any macro target, based on how you feel it works for you as an individual.<\/p>\n<h2>Eat More Carbohydrates<\/h2>\n<p>Sulek said that building muscles is a process that relies heavily on carbs.\u201cIntramuscular freakin\u2019 glycogen, you know?\u201d he observed, offering his own brand of science. And he\u2019s not wrong, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aru.ac.uk\/news\/why-embracing-carbs-can-help-you-to-build-muscle\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">carbohydrates supply us with energy<\/a> in the form of glucose, and this is stored in the muscles as glycogen. Intense workouts strip those stores quickly, so replenishing them is important.\u00a0 The social media powerhouse went to on to explain that if a theoretical microscope could see inside his muscles, it would show that his fibers were plump and primed, storing energy for the intense workouts ahead. \u201cAs far as I\u2019m concerned, to be in a state of progression, and in a lifting context that\u2019s a state of growth, that\u2019s when you\u2019re essentially just full (of energy),\u201d he concluded.<\/p>\n<p>Sulek says that being in a state of sufficient carb consumption to accommodate growth is critical to this phase of his development, to the point that he could even see himself prioritizing carbohydrates over protein on days where he needs to keep \u201cfuel in the tank.\u201d Sulek notes that for any intense workout to be successful, the body simply must have enough carbs to sustain the activity.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018\u201cYou have got to start chowing down,\u201d enthused the YouTuber. \u201cI don\u2019t care what it is. I don\u2019t care if it\u2019s rice, I don\u2019t care if it\u2019s sweet potato,\u201d he said. Sulek asserts that that by steadily increasing carbs by 50-75 grams per day, you will continue to gain size. But he does caution that you should regularly check-in with yourself to make sure you don\u2019t overeat to the point of getting too soft. \u201cCuz then, you\u2019ve lost it, right?\u201d he says of constructing a competition worthy physique. \u201cThere\u2019s a sweet spot,\u201d he advises.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Watch the full video below:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Offseason Day 69 - Dieting Hacks\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/K_naLSdkvZo?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.muscleandfitness.com\/flexonline\/training\/sam-sulek-shares-bulking-diet-plan-ahead-of-pro-debut\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sam Sulek isn\u2019t resting on his laurels following an epic start to 2025 which saw him become a bona fide IFBB Pro bodybuilder.
