Hi! I am curious as to which diet style is the absolute best for muscle mass. I've heard so much about dirty bulking, and just as much for clean bulking; I'm not sure which diet to follow for the coming winter months. I have a home gym and I won't be in contact with anybody really, so I figure now is a good time to just get big. I am 160 pounds 5 foot 8 inches and I just want to get bigger, I'm totally fine with putting on fat, so long as my muscles are growing too.
I've done my own research and I have come to a crossroads with lots of questions. On one youtube channel, Eric Bugenhagen states that if you want to get big and put on mass, you need to eat a little dirty. I get that eating in a surplus is OBVIOUSLY necessary to put on muscle, however, he suggests drinking lots of honey and even cherry juice, LOADED with sugar... I can understand the science behind that, sure the sugars will go to muscle storage and obviously help, right? Or am I wrong?
I get the other side of the argument too, which is that if you want to put on muscle you need to be in peak metabolic performance. Therefore it's necessary to eat clean, cut out excess fats and sugars that lower testosterone making it harder to put on muscle, make you more sluggish, etc.
There are so many factors and things I don't know about, I'm not a noob to exercise, however I am a noob at dieting. I'm considering hiring a nutritionalist to just tell me exactly what to eat for my goals. I am in college and I'm on break for the next three months, so I'm setting aside literally three whole months to focus on my physique. Nothing else except minor hobbies and video games. That said, what should I do? I could literally prepare every single meal for the forseeable future, I just don't know if I'd be maxing my gains by eating chicken and rice every single meal. I feel like I get no energy from that and that's a cutting meal.
Please help. I'm really trying to make changes I just don't know what to do. Thank you!
