I'm planning for lean gaining...... What should be the carbs to proton ratio?

There is no magic ratio. You need .8g of protien per pound of body weight at most but a lot of people just round up to 1g/lb. You need about .45g of fat per lb of body weight and the rest you can do with what you want. Carbs are your friend when gaining and will help fuel your workout so get as many as you like while remaining within your calorie budget.

ETA: lean gains are based on your caloric surplus not ratios btw. The lower your surplus the better the fat to muscle gain ratio will be upto a point. Generally, it is assumed that if you gain about a pound a week half will be fat and half will be muscle. It's not exactly true but it's a decent guide for planning.

There is no magic ratio for lean gaining. 250-500 calories over TDEE. Minimums for protein on a bulk .6g-.8g, and fats .3g-.4g. I suggest reading the sticky by MrM27 on bulking for beginners. All your questions should be answered.

I would say if you are a hard gainer.....then you go higher in calories than 500.....

I tried doing the +500 over TDEE....and I am a hard gainer.
It can be very frustrating, not to mention when you cut, the weight drops real quick.

My next bulk cycle, I am gonna try for at least 2lbs/week.....if I can.

But do what works best for you.

worry about plenty of calories.

Macros are second in the bulking game.
