Maybe you should spend some time doing some more research. If you like articles:
This one is from your bros at bb.com
http://rippedbody.jp/nutritional-hierarchy-importance-macros-fibre-alcohol/
Or if you want some studies, this thread can be beneficial.
This is where the problem sits, people read too much *kitten* online, you need to try tactics yourself and see how your body takes, not taking info from prople who havent a clue what theyre talking about
while a lot of this does have a substantial amount of trial and error- I mean bulking is pretty self explanitory- if you aren't gaining- you aren't eating enough, but the research and experience of others is an easy guide to get you started in the right direction and use self guided experience for the rest of it.
There is absolutely NO need to eat that much protein. ESPECIALLY while bulking!
And how do you have any possible clue if we know what we are talking about? why should OP believe you're outlandish claims any more than the rest of us- who have been here and have been showing proof for years on this particular site?
I had a very successful 5 month bulk- 20 pounds- 160 up to 182- successfully have cut the weight and maintained decent size.
I mean I'm only a girl- so I realize i only know but SO much- but I bulked from size 6 to a 14 and now I weight the same and i'm a 10- so I had a least one successful go round.
You have literally offered NO thoughtful advice- I'm pretty sure at this point you're just a troll.

Carbs are king for bulking, not protein, as long as you get adequate protein (0.8 grams per lb of lean body mass is enough).
Protein is more important during a cut than it is in a bulk in order to retain lean mass.0 -

I'm actually pumped- I think I'm going to go for it after my race- I am scheduling a powerlifting meet for April with the gym team.
Might as well get good and f*cking fluffy for that

That is almost enough protein for two of you.
More like three of him.
210 lbs. x 0.60-0.80 grams protein per 1 lb. bodyweight = 126-168 grams protein per day for a target range.
At that 210 lbs, your muscles will not be able to utilize more protein than 168 grams for new muscle synthesis purposes.ScottPhillips94 wrote: »My daily macros look like this
Calories: 3600
Protein 40% 360g
Carbs 45% 400g
Fat 15% 60g
First and foremost, you are undereating dietary fat.
Also, just because you have a high calorie goal doesn't mean you have to adhere to MFP's percentage breakdown. Go by grams. They are more accurate and you won't be spending a fortune on protein (the most expensive macro to buy in the supermarket).
That said, at 210 lbs. your ratio (while paying attention to the grams the %'s provide) should be closer to:
Calories: 3600
Protein 20-25%
Carbs 40-45%
Fat 35-40%
When bulking, it would be silly not to focus on more dietary fat at 9 calories per gram vs. carb & protein's 4 calories per gram.0 -

^^^ 100% agree ^^^
I consume 115-140g of protein daily @ 170lbs BW and still continue to add LBM, as well as, my strength has been increasing too.
Carbs are near 400g and about 100g of Fat too. Fat helps to keep anabolic hormones at optimal levels.0 -
Thanks for that @sixxpoint
Ok another question then if it's not too much
Where am I going to get the extra fats from ?
Healthy fats I mean ? I'm allergic to nuts so that's out ?0 -

I recommend that you take healthy fats from coconut oil (for cooking) or olive oil (on salads or in your shakes) as you say you are allergic to nuts0

By the way, you are not a lab rat. You don't need to try everything on your body. There is something called science. Those people work for us. If you read some studies, you will find out.
400 gr of Proteins???? I guess they mean 400 gr of meat.... Or some people think 100 gr of chicken has 100 gr of protein ????0 -

Why are you giving 'naturals' un-useful information when it comes to protein consumption? You've made it very clear that you're using anabolics.
So because im on steroids i cant give advice? Thats what u getting at? My knowledge as come from experimenting with different dieting teqniques to see whats best for my body, you on the other hand, your knowledge is from researching off the net.
Your 'bro-science' is irrelevant to NATURALS! What don't you understand?
Please explain to me how your body processes extra protein in the body, I'd love to hear your understanding of it. I honestly would.
Secondly; yes, my information is scientific, and personal experience based. What "credentials" do I need to have since I choose not to be on gear?
Go give your advice to others on the gear and have fun with it. I could careless what you choose to put into your body, but I do care about people on gear giving irrelevant information to those who are natural.0 -

Oh really? How much? My understanding of why a steroid work is because it allows you the body to create more growth hormone and because enters the blood stream faster it allows for easier muscle repair. I never knew it allows one to eat more protein.

News flash steroids now allow you to eat more protein. "sarcasm"

For how much your going on about me being on the gear is just showing a hint of jealousy.. Srsly mate. My protein intake is going from expierance, not from taking advice from others, who knows your body better than yourself? This is what you need to understand, you cant state to me my protein intake, my carb intake, my fat intake, you dont know how my body works, get gone

So you can't answer my questions? Ok, then you shouldn't be giving advice in my opinion.
I choose NOT to use steroids, so no, I'm not jealous.0 -

You may want to research anabolic steroids a bit more, maybe get some pointers from 'harry.'
