"Clean Bulking"
TweetAlthough I like the concept, I'm begin to question the reality. I'm trying to clean up my diet while building some quality muscle. But, every time I eat carbs I begin to put on fat. On the other hand if I cut the carbs I will loss muscle. I'm trying to stay below 13%BF this time around. It looks like it will be quite challenging.,

TweetNo, is it a carb blocker?

TweetNot really, but it reduces your insulin spike when you eat carbs. There are a bunch of FAQ's about it on this board if you do a search.
TweetThe best thing to do is try and get an accurate grip on what your BMR is. Next, try eating that amount of food over 6-8 meals.
Once you have that figured out. Turn up the volume like you would a stereo that doesn`t have a volume knob, just an equalizer. You don`t just jam up the treble and expect the result to sound good. You put your finger along all the dials and slowly bring em all up at the same time for the best result.
Clean gains are done in a similar manner. Once your eating 6-8 meals per day and your BF % is where you want it. Just bump everything up slowly and evenly. Let`s say that you use rice for your carb source and every day you cook up 2000 cal of rice to eat in 400 cal intervals 5 times a day (just for example) now when you want to gain, start buy cooking 2200 cal of rice and split that over the five meals and don`t change anything else, nothing massive, no shock to the system but those 200 calories will be 3500 calories in 17.5 days and that my friend is one pound.
In reality now you want to make those 200 calories come from a balance of carbs/pro/fat but you get the idea. Don`t forget lots of sleep and water...
It`s all about the equalizer for a balanced approach that looks good at the end of the cycle.

TweetThe best lesson I learned about "Clean Bulking" was moving to Japan where they don`t really have good supps. Being forced to cook all my own food for 5-6 meals gave such a different result from having a supps heavy diet. Don`t get me wrong, I love meal replacement shakes. Personal experience, however, is that there is no replacement for real food.
Try cooking 6 meals a day and then using supps for the last two, now your eating every 2 to 3 hours and that is the real deal!
