It’s days rather than hours. It depends on how much damage/adaption you’ve forced to a degree. If you’re working out more than twice a week I wouldn’t worry about it.
Additional calories over what you need to repair that damage/help adaption will go straight to flab though. Just a part of the weight gain process.

So with a combo of working out, cycling and running my gut flab is finally down to a level I am happy with. Time to try upping the calories again to see what this can do for my weight lifting.
But how long after a workout will the extra calories go towards muscle rather than just flab? Same day? Same day and day after?
