When is it beneficial to gain fat?
During a bulk.
A bulk is when one consumes an excess of 200 to 500 calories per day, prioritizes a minimum amount of protein (0.8-1 gm/lb bodyweight), and gets 7 to 9 hours of sleep in order to add muscle mass and gain strength.
After the muscle is built, then the body uses a higher number of calories at rest.
That means you get/have to eat more.
The body turns carbohydrates into glucose.
Glucose is the preferred energy system of the body when engaging in high intensity efforts like running or weightlifting.
Glucose must be converted into glycogen and stored in the liver but more importantly, in skeletal muscle.
That means the more muscle that you have will burn more calories and you'll have more energy for high intensity activities that will burn even more calories.
A caloric surplus is what makes you fat and not the carbohydrates.
Take the time to learn about macronutrients and where calories come from in order to structure your days of eating that align with your goals.
