The commonly held wisdom is that to gain muscle/strength, one must be on a "bulk" diet of some kind of caloric surplus, making sure to hit good protein/fat minimums, right? But those minimums can also be hit or even exceeded I've found, while actually in a caloric deficit, even a deeper one (>500 calories under maintenance). What exactly is it that makes those extra calories so important for building muscle, even if it's potentially mostly coming from carbohydrates or even straight up sugars? It's hard to get a lot of good info on that, and I've always been curious about it. Trying to understand diet info using internet searches often just leads to a lot of strange and conflicting information, and diets that confuse the hell out of me with things like massive shifts during the week that are supposed to have "benefit" even though they seem like they'd only serve to set you back.
