I'm bulking at the moment, while trying to limit fat gain as much as possible, so I'm eating 4000kcal on training days and 3000kcal on rest days.
Once or twice a week I like to drink some alcohol, let's say a bottle of red wine ( around 600kcal ) on a Friday night, it's a rest day.
What do you guys think, should I in this case substract these 600kcal from my daily 3000kcal and only eat 2400kcal of real food, or keep 3000kcal
of food and add the wine bottle on top ? I'm asking because I still can't grasp how the metabolism of alcohol works. Can it contribute to weight gain while
bulking, or does it only hinder fat loss in a cutting phase ?
I know it would be better to not drink at all, but bodybuilding is just a hobby for me, I want to keep some balance in life, wife keeps complaining that
I'm too obsessed anyway....
