Trying to bulk up. Currently eating as much as I can while exercising. I have these bag of chips that are really tempting. Should I avoid it? Or are the extra calories necessary for me to gain weight. Pic related
if you count calories you won't have to ask.

Calories are necessary.
Macros are way more necessary.
Yes, avoid them

>Macros are way more necessary.
bruh
you can get your macros with the first 2k calories, the rest is fair game
How much of a surplus can you bulk on before it mostly goes to fat?

what are doritos made out of, cardboard?

um... it shouldn't ever go MOSTLY to fat. unless you're eating insane amounts of excess calories. i mean... insane.
just hit your desired protein goal and hit your carbs/fat with whatever you want without exceeding your calorie intake

Are you stupid??
You need a certain amount of proteins, carbs and fats for normal body function, the rest of your kcal can be whatever you want, doritos may have tons of carbs, so they don't have a nice ratio for cutting, but if you already have the minimum of each kind of caloric source you can reach te rest of calories by whatever you want.

>Trying to bulk up
the first four words of OP. the only thing you really have to be worried about on a bulk is eating at too high of a surplus

Why calling others stupid?
"The rest of kcal can be whatever you want" is true to some extent. Gains will be better if you have a diet based on quality.
Eat clean to get better gains, there's no excuse

You forgot to add "and I base this off broscience"
