There\u2019s no way around it.

If you want to gain muscle efficiently, you\u2019re going to need to eat more calories than you burn each day.

While eating slightly more calories than you burn every day is conducive to muscle growth, eating a lot more isn\u2019t more so.

That is, you\u2019ll gain just as much muscle eating ~110% of your total daily energy expenditure as you would eating 120 or 130%.

The only thing that will change, really, is how much fat you\u2019ll gain.

In this episode, we\u2019re going to cover how to know how many calories you need to eat to gain weight, without just getting fat.
