I have a very low BF%, and i am wanting to gain muscle, so i'm lurking
around this NG soaking in lots of good info. (Thanks everyone for all
the good info!)
Ok, so I understand that I have to increase my calories above and
beyond my "maintenance" calorie level if i want to gain muscle
weight... assuming i'm still hitting the weights hard.
But what's the exact reasoning behind it? Is it...
1) More calories eaten will give me more "energy" which will in turn
allow me to be more aggressive w/ weight, thus lift heavier weight,
thus build muscle.
or
2) Muscle growth simply needs lots of calories to be consumed. In
other words, muscle growth will not happen without enough calories
eaten
Is it 1, 2, a combination of both, or something else?
Sorry if it's a dumb or obvious question. 
Thanks,

You tick me off.

Hopefully, you're asking yourself why.
Because you ask the tough (okay, *some* may call it dumb or obvious)
questions!
I don't have a ready response, but my keyboard is at hand and I can
type http://google.com/ with ease. Search string "muscle gain,
increased calories, why" resulted in a veritable boatload of links.
About 1,290,000, in fact.
The first link is (perhaps /was/ by the time you read this) a good one,
imo. Offering, "If the aim is to build muscle mass, athletes should
engage in a strength training workout and increase caloric intake by as
much as 500 calories, according to Skinner. Not all of these additional
calories must come from protein sources, especially if the aim of the
meal is to replenish what has been utilized in exercise. About 60
percent of a weightlifting session is fueled by fats, 35 percent by
carbohydrates, and 5 percent by protein, according to Essentials of
Exercise Physiology." From:
http://nutrition.tufts.edu/consumer/balance/2004-02/muscle_mass.html
I know, I know. That's a LOT of text. BORING text, but in there are the
words "the aim of the meal is to replenish what has been utilized in
exercise." I immediately substituted the word meal with calories in
that sentence. And, yeah, please forget that those words were preceded
by the word ~*if*~, okay? Just too confusing.
So, the exercise stimulates the muscle growth and the increased
calories help to ensure your energy and more - diminished by said
exercise - are replaced thus allowing for the exercise to actually do
you some good.
!
Not technical enough, huh? Smacks of "just because" doesn't it? Santa
Claus in the weight room.
Regardless, the same search string eventually leads to this link:
http://www.trackyourdiet.com/articles/How-to-gain-lean-bodyweight-pt-1...alories
aka http://tinyurl.com/kolbh
Tom Venuto's words found on trackyourdiet.com offer more substance,
imo.
"It is a basic law of energy balance that you must be on a positive
calorie balance diet to gain muscular bodyweight. If you consume the
exact amount of your TDEE you will simply maintain your weight.
Generally speaking, you'll need to add another 300-500 calories per day
onto your TDEE in order to gain weight. To be more specific, add a
minimum of two calories per pound of bodyweight on top of your TDEE to
determine your optimal caloric intake to gain weight."
Follow the link and learn more about TDEE (total daily energy
expenditure).
But that *still* doesn't explain what is happening. Only that you've
got to increase your calories. WHY!!!???
Let's explore further (you've stopped reading, haven't you? DAMN!) with
a new search string of "TDEE mechanism, why" and a different branch of
Google in http://scholar.google.com/.
Oh, my Lord. That just makes my head spin.
How about "TDEE mechanism, muscular gain, why"?
....
"Did you mean: TDEE mechanism, muscle gain, why"
Snarky scholarly search engine!
But, hey, take a gander at THESE words:
"In a similar but different group of eight children total daily
metabolizable energy intake (EI), average rate of weight gain
(g/kg/day) (WG), and total daily energy expenditure (TDEE) were
determined. TDEE was determined by indirect calorimetry using a heart
rate counter and is based on the relationship of heart rate to oxygen
consumption. In this group, the mean EI was 122.5 kcal, WG was 8.4 g,
and TDEE was 92 kcal. The difference between EI and TDEE was 30.7
kcal/kg, or 3.3 kcal/g of weight gain. This difference is presumed to
be the stored energy in new tissue and corresponds to a proposed new
tissue composition of 31% fat and 14% protein. A regression curve
comparison of WG versus EI showed that at zero weight gain EI was 85.5
kcal and each additional gain. The difference of 1.0 kcal between total
energy cost and stored energy reflects the energy required to deposit
new tissue. Gram weight gain required 4.4 kcal. The latter figure is
felt to reflect the total energy cost of weight. From three independent
measurements, an estimate of maintenance energy requirements was
estimated to be about 82 kcal/kg/day." From:
http://www.ajcn.org/cgi/content/abstract/29/10/1073
Nah, I don't know what the heck they're saying either, but what an
impressive bunch of new vocab terms, eh? From what I can weed out, imo,
attention should be paid to "the total energy cost of weight" and
"stored energy in new tissue and corresponds to a proposed new tissue
composition" as informative phrases.
Okay, so probably no answer. I'll wait for Brink's or JMWunderkind's
response.

If I do not eat a good pre-workout meal of something like oatmeal
covered in honey along with a calorie rich smoothie I make with a
frozen banana, sports drink, and a scoop of protein powder then I
notice that my energy level is not as high. I have also noticed that
eating Thai food for lunch (noodles, vegetables, and beef) seems to
really raise my energy level. If I eat junk food, very greasy, fatty
food, or don't eat enough healthy food on the day of a workout I
usually just move the workout to the next day; these workouts are
usually depressingly bad anyway. Eating a healthy, energizing diet is
very important to allow for the lifting intensity that is needed to
progress and not hit plateaus as early.

I feel that usually if you eat your normal (non-muscle building) amount
that your body keeps an equilibrium building and consuming itself. One
bit of advice that I would give on building muscle is to never let
yourself get hungry if possible. When the body is hungry the last
thing it is usually wanting to do is build new muscle which would
require more calories to support. Keeping the body in a well-fed and
building phase is important.
> Is it 1, 2, a combination of both, or something else?
A combination of both in my opinion.

The short answer is: a combination of both.
But you want an explanation, right? OK.
When addressing gains in body mass, kilocalories are mostly just a
marker for the value of food in all sorts of metabolic processes.
First, you need the energy. You need energy just to stay alive, and
you would be surprised how much of that energy is sucked up by the use
of your brain and internal organs -- it's much more than is required by
resting skeletal muscle. But if you want to gain muscle mass, you need
to stress the skeletal muscle for an effect called
"mechanotransduction," which causes the muscle cells to begin
synthesizing additional muscle protein. That, of course, requires
*additional* energy. Energy comes from food. Glucose provides energy;
so do ketone bodies. Carbohydrates contain glucose or substrates that
are easily converted to glucose. Glucose can also be metabolized and
stored as fat. Proteins are broken down into amino acids. Those amino
acids can then be deaminated and converted to glucose by
gluconeogenesis, or to ketone bodies. Fat can be broken down into
glycerol and fatty acids. The glycerol converts to glucose rather
easily, and the fatty acids will eventually convert to glucose by
gluconeogenesis, or to ketone bodies. Amino acids, fatty acids, and
glycerol can be exogenous, from dietary protein and fats, or
endogenous, from protein breakdown in lean tissues and lipolysis, which
is an ongoing process in your body. The bottom line is that building
muscle requires more energy in terms of glucose or ketone bodies, and
that energy must come from a larger-than-usual consumption of the
necessary substrates, i.e., food.
Second, your muscles will grow only if additional muscle protein is
synthesized. That requires a sufficient pool of amino acids from which
that muscle protein can be synthesized. That requires more dietary
protein. The amino acids used for that will not be deaminated and
metabolized into glucose and ketone bodies, but rather, they will
become part of a chain of amino acids that form the protein in muscle.
Therefore, some of the calorie value of protein is not really
metabolized as energy, but rather, the substrate amino acids from the
breakdown of dietary protein in the gut will actually form *new*
proteins in lean body mass, which means not only skeletal muscle, but
other lean tissue, too.
That is a gross simplification of the underlying physiology, but I hope
that gives you a reasonably understandable answer to your question. >> Stay informed about: Reason why you need more calories to gain muscle? |

I wonder if this isn't more psychological than physiological, though.
Calories are calories, right? As long as the percentages of fat,
carbohydrates, and protein are identical then what's the difference
between a gourmet meal prepared by chef Alain Passard and Taco Bell
prepared by some 10th grader named Bob? (Taste and visual appeal aside,
naturally.)

That's my opinion as well, James, but I believe the OP is looking for
more of a PubMed response. A Brink or JMW certainty/explanation.

You have to have excess nitrogen to build new lean muscle and to
sustain it. Also it's nice to have a few extra calories to give you
energy to breath and take a dump.
Also, your body has a mind of its own. Won't become large and muscle
bound unless it knows it will have no issue of finding the calories
needed to, again, build and sustain.
You can't make something from nothing.

Good stuff, Randolf, but simply not PubMeddy enough.

ok, this isn't *that* scientific but my guess is that
the human body cannot store proteins in a form that is usable to
build muscle. So, I think that the main thing is to have a surplus of
protein in your daily food intake. The caloric surplus, in general, is
to assure that your body is not in catabolysis. The body preferentially
burns muscle over fat when in catabolysis. so, if you are burning muscle
you very well can't be *building* it, eh?  >> Stay informed about: Reason why you need more calories to gain muscle? |

Laughing my Ass Off Curt..but JMW is 'Right' on..
Just for shits and giggles I will revise this a simpler way... To
remain Build Muscle and remain Lean you must Fuel the Body and starve
the fat, is the name of the game... once you know the proper amounts
for Your Own metabolism, which can be simply configured by keeping a
food and exercise diary including your exercise expenditure and
consistently evaluating your progress, you will be able to determine
whether or not you are taking in too much or too little. Some people
need more than 500 caloories over their maintenance level ..the quality
of the calories is more important than the amount of... Rule of thumb
is to go heavy on the protein ( raises your metabolism naturally by 30%
just in digestion alone) moderate on the fats( paying attention to
unsaturated Vs. saturated etc) and lower on the carbs ..that is IF your
Goal is to gain size and be leaner/more defined at the same time.
The carbs you take in should be of high quality to provide the most
efficient energy with the lowest glycemic index such as sweet potatoes
or yams, whole grains, brown rice, oatmeal, green Vegetables .. eat a
High protein snack or meal every 3 hours..6x's a day..if you do not get
enough meals in, often times when I wake up to tinkle ( hehe) in the
middle of the night, I chug down a protein shake and go back to bed...
also for muscular growth is Sleep... Proteins rebuild the muscle tissue
and rebuilds mostly when you are in the deeper stages of sleep...
also another way to answer your question as to why do you need more
calories to gain Muscle... if the 'PROPER' calories are not there to
supply the energy, then the body will tap into and breakdown your hard
earned muscle you so want to build for even basic functions... people
who starve themselves or skip meals to loose weight, actually Store Fat
and loose Muscle in the process..they are doing opposite of what the
formula is for a Hard and Lean physique..it is a Full time Job just
preparring meals and planning to have those snacks on hand... this is
why only a select few can mold,, create and unveil the work of art they
they train so hard for..it is not something you can just do off and
on..and eat whatever you want when you want..it is a continuous process
and a way of life when taken seriously. Keep in mind that you can train
as hard as you want, but if you do not place the proper fuel in your
tank, the results that you Could have will not be apparent, Or will be
hidden by the layers of fat by consuming too much food. That is why
Power Lifters have a different structure than Bodybuilders...

No, this isn't a dog thread. But I wanted to thank you for recommending

Mocha is a great addition to our family and well loved by all my kids...and
