====Dirty bulking====
"Dirty bulking" is the process of eating at a massive caloric surplus without trying to figure out the exact amount of ingested macronutrients, often down with junk food such as burgers and fries. Weightlifters who attempt to gain mass quickly with no aesthetic concerns often choose to do this. "Dirty bulking" is often favored by bodybuilders in the off-season who are looking to rapidly increase size and strength without worrying about fat gain. While it can lead to quick weight gain and increased muscle mass due to the abundance of calories, it also typically results in a significant increase in body fat. This means a more aggressive cutting phase is usually required afterward to shed the excess fat, which can be physically and mentally taxing. Additionally, consuming large amounts of processed foods high in sugar and unhealthy fats can negatively impact cardiovascular health and insulin sensitivity over time. Despite these risks, some lifters find dirty bulking psychologically easier, as it removes the pressure of strict meal planning and food tracking.<ref>{{Cite web|date=2010-06-13|title=Dirty Bulking: Why You Need To Know The Dirty Truth!|url=https://www.bodybuilding.com/content/dirty-bulking-why-you-need-to-know-the-dirty-truth.html|access-date=2023-02-08|website=Bodybuilding.com|author= Rian Evans|archive-date=February 8, 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230208100337/https://www.bodybuilding.com/content/dirty-bulking-why-you-need-to-know-the-dirty-truth.html|url-status=dead}}</ref>
