a successful off season of adding calories into my diet slowly over a period of time which allowed me to in essence "increase my metabolism"... At the peak of my offseason I was getting about 4200cals a day I believe and only gaining about .5-.75lbs per week...
I am doing 5-6 cardio sessions per week amounting to about 3000 calories right now, and I don't think i will have to increase that at all... I started with 2 300 calorie sessions when i started my prep, and just slowly added cardio in while slowly taking cals out...
I mean your TDEE is going to determine your caloric needs though as well... If you're pretty sedentary, you're going to have to consume less... I would classify myself as not sedentary but not highly active either...
